So, I am pondering getting a receiver set for a new rifle. I would like to use it to hunt, hence NR.

When I checked the stag variances, only some are NR.
That makes sense, barrel length, etc.

What if someone orders just the receiver set and builds from that? Can you get a NR certificate? Do they assume it's NR, assuming you out on a long enough barrel, and followed other requirements?

Or do you have to order the non restricted Stag 10, then swap out the parts you want upgraded?

I am hoping to save money on building a lightweight stag,
By not buying the stock handguard, barrel, trigger, etc.
Just the receiver set and add my own to it.
 
The Canadian Stag-10 receiver sets are NR. So long as you install a barrel that is legal length or longer it will stay NR. If you install a barrel shorter then legal length you need to call and register it as restricted. So in short yes you can buy a stag-10 receiver set and build the rifle you want and it will be NR so long as you have a long enough barrel.
 
Thanks! Question 2...
Local game wardens are from a very small town, where 2k $ semi auto AR type rifles don't exist.

The first time he sees be backpacking this thing, I will have explaining to do unless I can provide some FRT or certificate, etc.

BCL comes with a copy of it, listing the rifle model specifically. Receiver sets I assume don't come with anything proving it is non restricted.

I may win a legal battle, after proving the receiver set was NR, but it sucks hunting for a week without a rifle.

How ildo I "prove" my hunting rifle, built off the receiver set, is non restricted?

Will the receiver have a stamp stating 178923-9?
Or at least the 178923, then I can argue I have a 5 round mag and long barrel?

I myself am not arguing that it isn't restricted.
I'm wondering how do I make sure I have no hassles with someone who doesn't know AR-10s.

I am thinking of starting my stag asap, my BCL still isn't in and I want it for hunting season which starts soon.
 
I have never, ever, heard of a FRT number being stamped on a receiver.
If you think it would make a difference, be better than a printout of the FRT entry, get it engraved.
 
if you do get stopped by the law, take the "Mr Officer, I have the FRT here that indicates that my firearm is indeed non-restricted" approach, and not the "fk off stupid cop pos, i can do whatever I want with my personal property etc" way of doing things. ;)
 
If you have to NR FRT and your barrel is over 470mm, then there is no reason for him to confiscate your rifle

would a normal cop know the difference between a stag-10 and any other restricted AR-10 pattern rifle? Can they lookup the FRT on their car laptops?

Reason I ask is that even at gun ranges, I pull out my x95 from the trunk of my car, not double locked, and people still comment that a restricted gun should be double locked... and some don't believe me when I say it's NR.... and that's from people who 'know' more about guns.

Fake can might not help though :)

I can totally see an average cop seeing what looks like an AR15/10 pattern rifle freak out (or overract) by thinking it's restricted.
