Very brief, but excellent quick history lesson on the 55X serious of rifles. Thanks, I had not seen this before.
How do you figure?
This video has been around long enough that if that were the case they would already be doing so. Besides the black/green special SAN rifles found on this side of the pond were made for the Canadian market and are kitten tame compared to those 55x series

My pleasure. If you notice the barrels don't have the integral flashhider and the 553-US is in the background dating this to be recent enough. Makes me wonder if factory non integral flashhider barrels that allow for threading and attachment of aftermarket muzzle devices will be hitting the market in the next few years.
553-US is currently unobtainium.
The Canadian version is the CQB with the 553 gas system. There is one on the EE and has been sitting there for a bit, it's priced on the high end. Otherwise I believe Calgary Shooting Center has a few, new of course.

Well yeah - where do you keep yours?
Re; "Is it just me or the RCMP is going to use this as evidence for review on all SA black special/classic green's legality?" - there is no way they can do that, the 55x is prohib by name, that's why they aren't sold in Canada - we get basically a previous version of the rifle that can never be a variant because it preceded the banned rifle.
