My concern is the tubular unit where the barrel mounts and the bolt cycles. If both versions use the same assembly, there is a potential problem.

The bolt cycles in the receiver and the barrel mounts to the receiver and is secured with the round threaded barrel collar that also acts as a short handguard. What exactly is your concern? I would be surprised if the receivers are different? It does look like they may offer a shorter barrel collar based on some of the pictures. The only other difference seems to be at the rear where the stock attaches the pistol version won't accept the long stock, but I thought I saw an option for a brace with maybe a vertical section of pic rail at the rear?

Hopefully these are popular for the manufacturer and we see several caliber options and perhaps even a willingness to do custom runs for the Canadian market.

My preference would be 12.5 inch barrels to meet BC hunting regs, and a vertical pic rail at the back so people can choose their own adventure when it comes to stocks, a compact folder that meets min length would be nice.
 
No idea. In the US it isn't a problem. Here, there have been firearms reclassified because they were deemed to use a pistol receiver.
Then again, Thompson Center receivers could be assembled as either rifles or pistols. Once registered as a pistol, there was no going back.

Ok now I understand where you were going with your comment, Hard to say really given how nonsensical things have been over the years, recently it seem that anything open to interpretation has been "ever brown". Change is on the horizon and better days with more common sense are hopefully coming soon. The more the haters stretch things to the absurd, the easier it will be to correct.

We are talking about a single shot bolt action firearm, I'd love to see the goof ball anti folk take a hard line on it.....
 
The rifle barrel length is dictated by US law. Different here, the barrels can be shorter. There would be a good market for custom barrels.
Depending on how the bolt head/bolt face is designed, multiple calibers would be practical.
 
The "pistol" barrels could always be brought in alongside the rifles, as long as Marstar is able to, and if it'll meet OAL regs when assembled.
Not sure how much you can expand on a 5.7 and 9mm bolt to start with in terms of barrels, 7.62x25 (since the ammo is still available in bulk here), .38 Super and .22TCM I guess, dont think it'd work with cartridges longer than x25 imo

Same. I want to set one of these up with a red dot and keep it nice and light.

I have a P.A. 3x microprism on a gun that I now can't use so I want to try it there, and if I don't like that then I have a red dot as well to drop on it. Either way it'll be under 3.5 lbs, hard not to like that. Snowshoe hares around here are going to be in trouble once I get it in my hands.

I’m actually looking for that exact optic for another rifle but it seems like it would be a pretty solid choice on the Stowaway.
