Interesting design.

I wonder how a similar system would fly out here in Canada, as far as magazine capacity and barrel length are concerned.

It would still be restricted (based on AR15 design). Mag capacity would be entirely dependent on the type of magazine and what it was designed for.
 
Why would anyone want to use the "safety/selector" as a method firing the rifle? This is right full of fail. Its still semi auto and its still based on an AR15 receiver.

It's not a semi auto. It is more like a bolt action. You fire the rifle with the trigger as usual but have to reset after each shot with the lever. It's lame but I guess you do what you gotta do to own an AR.

Someone with 4300 posts should know the difference between a semi-auto and manual action. You have to manually close the bolt before each shot. By what definition is that semi-auto?

It's obviously a work around for the laws of that country that likely don't allow semi-auto rifles.

The alternative for them is a straight-pull or no AR at all. It designed with the legal considerations of that country in mind. Not for you.
 
I wasn't talking about that specific firearm, but a firearm built from the ground-up to use that system.

One could probably make an argument that any movement/locking/unlocking of the bolt assembly during the operation of firing a cartridge without the intervention of the operator could constitute it being self-loading, as opposed to an entirely manual action. I mean, it doesn't seem to be impossible (or even implausible) to convert the Unicorn to a complete semi-auto, which is in stark contrast to have a bolt action cycle itself. (Could you imagine?)

What if the "lever" cocked the hammer/striker, as well as releasing the bolt?

Either you make it two-stage, or you have it lock on closing the bolt, like a lee-enfield.
