Restricted & Non-Restricted AR15

[50calshooter]

Just wondering if Non-Restricted AR's exist.... If it comes down to barrel length for non-restricted is the 20" the shortest you can get? Could you please name a few Non-restricted makes and models and barrel lengths if possible... Please excuse my ignorance on this, I'm a bolt action and pistol guy

 

[Enfield]

All restricted! . . . Now that was easy. I’m glad I could finally contribute to the CGN community in such a meaningful way!

The AR lower is the restricted part, regardless of barrel length. So you're SOL for a non restricted version

The stupid reason behind it is the way it looks the Gov are not bright people

 

[gallen270]

there is a muzzle loading upper, bolt action uppers, and 22 uppers and guess what, even they are restricted because of the lower

True!

I remember some company invented a crossbow attachment to a AR lower but still" restricted"

Look in the Black Rifle Forum. There is a good sticky that shows the available non-restricted AR-ish guns available.

Also if your not against 22LR, there is the Colt M4 .22LR. Have seen them advertised in some websites.

SIG makes a nice .223 cal carbine that is non-restricted. You can't get all the cool stuff for it like an AR, but it looks good and you won't need an ATT for it.

 

[chris1974]

Sig maks a nice RIG but it will be double the price for non-restricted

did I read somewhere that the Canadian Gov't is making the AR-180b restricted?

M4 won't come out until June... Wolverine

Now as for that sticky, where is it... I am blind I know.

 

[Northern Pirate]

Could get an HK SL8... wolverine

 

[guess_kto]

OR if you create a lower that is not AR-15, but can accept AR-15 upper, you can get a non-restricted equivalent... e.g. use SKS receiver and modify it. (spoke to CFC about it)

 

[Merch]

The XCR is a nice AR alternative that is non-restricted but you will have to get on the wait list at Wolverine or buy used to get one.

AFAIK there is no official confirmation that the .22 M4 will be non-restricted. The wording of the original OIC seems to imply that it would be restricted, IMO. And as we've seen with the VZ58 and T97 debacles, even following the letter of the law is no defense these days.

FYI several CGN members have UN restricted AR lowers that are mated with a .50 single shot upper.

CFC made that determination.

 

[50calshooter]

Thanks for your help, I guess it'll be a restricted I'll have to go for.... I want an actual AR, there is no subsitute....

Where might someone find one of these .50 uppers?

Please continue... I want to know more.
