Probability of AR15 reclass to NR?

or maybe the upper could become the controlled portion of the firearm. and yes, that would require administrative changes...

but that's not to say it's impossible. certainly in the u.s. they're able to differentiate between SBR AR15s and their longer barreled siblings, so it might be do-able in Canada also....

No. You change the barrel to a shorter one without proper registration and licensing, you pay the price because you broke the law.
Many NR firearms can have barrels replaced with shorter ones.
 
AR to NR? We can dream I suppose. It sure would be awesome if it did happen tho. I dont think even the people that restricted them know why they did it. Just silly things. Mag this is very stupid!
By the way is it true about the .50 beowulf mags being used to higher capacity with .223 being legal?

Have a look here...

By the way, legend has it that the list of restricted/prohibited firearms was based on govt folks x'ing things out in an issue of Gun Digest.

NFA said they had a copy of the marked up document, and would be scanning it and putting it online... then, also per the NFA as I recall, decided NOT to put online (yet) as part of some intricate strategy.

hopefully we'll get to see this document at some point.

thank you, but I am referring to the US. somehow there they deal with this issue.

I THINK they regulate the 'short barreled uppers'

and yes, for those americans who don't follow their laws, it can be expensive, in term of $$ spent and time served.

I could live with that. The only thing about the registry I was worried about was a change in leadership suddenly using those records to come take them all away but if we could get some type of assurance that could never happen I don't really care if they know I own an AR as long as I can use it freely. They already know I have 4 AR's and 5 pistols so what difference would it make as long as I could take them out varmint and predator hunting.

Because you dont need to keep proof of sale for nr firearms

Any upper can be a short barreled upper. the barrels are easy to change.
Their system is pretty flawed as well
 
Re-classify the AR to Non restricted..LOL,..its got a better chance of swinging the other direction "prohib" if the Libs get in.
 
Yup!
Monday- Shooting into space, mag capacity
Tuesday- Bear defense, FRT numbers, EE and Site sponsor rants
Wednesday- Zombie, SHTF guns, all conspiracy theories
Thursday- AR re-classification, CCW, ISIS, and associated terrorists
Friday- AR vs. Tavor vs. XCR vs. ACR vs. VZ/CZ vs. SL-8
Saturday- What's the best/ first handgun/ rifle to buy
Sunday- Slamfire stocks. Slow day for threads.
Who's got time to shoot anymore??

you missed out 'lynch mob the n00b day'

Dunno how else the G11 ended up prescribed.
 
Sign the petition and get everyone you know to sign it. In the meantime buy a xcr and enjoy!
 
If you guys were ###, feminist, a religious faction, or a visible minority the question would be "When will the AR15 be reclassified to non-restricted status?"

But you're gun owners so you've already given up.

I doubt people have given up, it feels like we are talking to a wall and not getting anywhere. All because of a handful of people without proper understanding of firearms decided to class firearms based on activities around the world and stupid news broadcasts. Fact of the matter is people who break the law do not pay attention to firearm classification.

I did hear about the Gun Digest and found it amusing, didnt think it was true tho. Thanks for the link, so its just another mith then.
 
With the negative attitude of some of you I would say yes things won't change, thankfully not everyone is so easily deterred.

Not sure how it will come about, more likely AR's will still remain registered, but perhaps registered rifles will have the ability to be used away from ranges. This might be a more likely scenario then just an AR just going NR.

If we want and believe it can happen and follow that up with a little effort by informing our government etc. that the situation now makes very little sense and why it should be changed it is possible. Not doing anything, not making any changes and expecting things to change is insanity.

We must make an effort to change these archaic and outdated regulations/laws. Once the right people are informed and shown the common sense of it all with a united front of thousands of responsible firearms owners things will change.

We all need to understand that it will take time, but progress will come, but only if we all do something about. Discussing it here is not going to do it unfortunately, so support our shooting clubs and let our government know we went change by writing at least one letter a month. It will happen.
