Newb AR-10 question - Non Restricted receiver sets?

[commandac]

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?

There you go!

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.
