I was hoping that the Canadian government would look at the R-15 as it did the Valmet, but no luck...
that would just open up so many issues...good for shooters maybe..
Just bought one. Restricted.
Bought it in Rimouski at my local shop for 970 $ plus taxes. ...
Was it used?,, that seems mighty low in price for a new one.
This rifle represents our best chance to get the AR-15 or a specific model of AR-15 made unrestricted.
There is precedent for this (Valmet M78) and if we lobbied forcefully but thoughtfully we could make it hapopen. It would require some careful planning though rather than a haphazard letter writing campaign IMO. Any thoughts?
Bought it in Rimouski at my local shop for 970 $ plus taxes. Should receive it next week. It'll be my first AR so I thought I wouldn't spend too much but I'm sure it's my next addiction, just like all my 1911s...
Camp Cook, you just don't get it. I'm not saying you shouldn't fight for it, but the CORRECT battle would be to de-restrict all AR-15's.
What excuse will you use for the R-15? Because its painted camo? Because Remington made it?
You are better off fighting to derestrict all AR's based on their semi-auto only status, their barrel lengths, and their usefullness as a varmint rifle/small game, target shooting whatever.
