Non-Restricted, Right?

[cyclone]

The Ruger SR-556 :

Shamelessly viewed on Gunblast.com!!

Note: The non-restricted-ness would comes from its AR-180B-like gas system....

 

[cote_b]

Probably restricted and probably very expensive.

 

[dudley2112]

AR variant= restricted and the MSRP is about $2000 US!!!

Some guy at the gun store said they were gonna be non-restricted and exempt from the magazine capacity law... also said they should be about 750 bucks tax in. Should be good sellers!

Inless it's a Ruger rim fire, no thanks.

 

[mopic]

this is more like a 416 piston style. I am not sure

 

[guess_kto]

AR-15 frame = restricted

The barrel lenght is under 18.5 = Restricted for sure.

Doesn't matter what the upper is, the lower is an AR-15 receiver. It's restricted.

This rifle has a barrel length of 16 1/8"

The barrel length will make it restricted and there is no such thing as being exempt from the magazine capacity law..........but maybe I'm wrong

Restricted firearms include:

handguns that are not prohibited;
semi-automatic, centre-fire rifles and shotguns with a barrel shorter than 470 mm (about 18.5 inches);
rifles and shotguns that can be fired when their overall length has been reduced by folding, telescoping or other means to less than 660 mm (about 26 inches); and
firearms restricted by Criminal Code Regulations.

As set out in Criminal Code Regulations, some large-capacity magazines are prohibited regardless of the class of firearm to which the magazines are attached. As a general rule, the maximum magazine capacity is:

5 cartridges for most magazines designed for a semi-automatic centre-fire long gun; or
10 cartridges for most handgun magazines
A large-capacity magazine is not prohibited if it has been permanently altered so that it cannot hold more than the number of cartridges allowed by law. Acceptable ways to alter a magazine are set out in the regulations.

There is no limit to the magazine capacity for semi-automatic rim-fire long guns, or for other long guns that are not semi-automatics.

Uh, if you don't live in a commie province your ATT is good for all approved ranges in the province. Not that long ago it was good for all of western Canada
