I wish they were going to have lefty models.
I would have said the same thing based on my Norinco SKS-D. The thing half looks like zip gun made in somebodies wood shed, and the front site is wayyy off. But that was about ten years ago when I got it. I saw what I thought was an AR15 a couple of weeks ago and was shocked to discover it was one of the Norinco clones. There seem tons of favorable reviews on the M4 and M14 clones. Maybe they've pulled it together.
Yeah it's bull#### a gun can be classified based on name alone. I don't think new guns currently have to be approved by Liberals; if that were the case I doubt the vz58 or any recent bullpup would have made it into the Canadian Market (Actually the VZ came in under a Liberal government, now that I think about it). Pretty clear the PM wants prohibited class to stay that way, though I have no idea what his thoughts are on restricted. I'd hoped and fantisized that the long time taken to get the classification list of firearms meant the Conservative government was going to drop the more bull#### classficiations like by firearm name (ie AR15s with an 18.5 inch barrel would become non-restricted). However with all the hype surrounding the recent shootings by screwed up kids with AR15s, I unfortunately doubt we'll see any postive change to thier classification up here, even if the Conservatives did want to make classification of firearms sensible.

I like your last pic the most, ronky! Definitely would like to own one of these....
Not a "weapon" unless used as such. This rifle is just a "tool" -- a darn cool looking tool, but a tool all the same. Words matter.
As for the length of this rifle, I'm sure visiting North Sylia's website, that of any number of dealers that will be carrying these rifles or a quick Google search would provide an answer. It's been deemed non-restricted so the length is going to be 26.5" or longer.
Don't be ridiculous - this is about generation 4 on this rifle - millions in 5.8, then the first 5.56 export, then the semi-auto, then the semi-auto (sorta), now this - if you count 'semi' and 'semi sort of' as one generation, that's four.
