I don't see any conversation anywhere about this model from Springfield Armory, but if it's manufactured like that, it should be non-restricted in Canada, correct? Or is there some inexplicable exception to this particular rifle? a SOCOM 16 would be sweet to order!
...or perhaps there's an US export prohibition?
not true. if it was, explain my 16" Rossi 44RM Carbine...or the 12.5" or 8.5" Grizzly. all non-res firearms from the factory. if it's FROM the factory...it's supposed to be allowed, in a lot of cases. there's no real rhyme or reason to how they decide what guns with a barrel length shorter then 16" are allowed and what aren't...unless the OAL, even with the 16" barrel still meet's the requirements. only reason I can think of.
that was the tidbit I was missing. semi-auto's must be more then 18.5". now I know what's what and will go back to dreaming about a 18.5" M14!
