Firearms Prescribed as Restricted

This list of restricted firearms specified in the December 1, 1998 Criminal Code regulations includes all firearms that have been restricted by a former Order in Council.

* The firearm of the design commonly known as the M-16 rifle, and any variant or modified version of it, including the:
o Any 22 calibre rimfire variant, including the:
+ Mitchell M-16A-1/22,
+ Mitchell M-16/22,
+ Mitchell CAR-15/22, and
+ AP74 Auto Rifle.

Notice that it says "any" .22LR variant, not just the ones listed. Based on the marketing being used by Colt/Umarex, it is difficult to argue that it is NOT a .22 variant. This is what sunk the GSG5 and I wouldn't be surprised if the same thing happens here. Even if it can't accept standard AR uppers, we all know the RCMP is willing to bend the rules in order to classify scary-looking guns as they wish.

Damn you beat me to it.

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

RCMP WILL bend the rules on this.

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

And obviously, some voters are one sandwich short of a picnic lunch also! After all YOU elected them.

Could get an HK SL8... wolverine

Big jump in price there, though the SL8 is a nice gun (I want one!).
