Suggestions - Semi-Auto, Non-Restricted, 223/5.56 Rifles

The 16F is a Canadian only market gun made specifically for our non-restricted regulations. You probably won't find it on the Ke-Tec website.
My XCR is non-restricted. To my knowledge, all XCR-L's brought into Canada are non-restricted. You can make them restricted with a shorter barrel. There are different barrel lengths available from Robarms but I have no idea if you can get them here easily (except maybe the pistol version). Typically, Mini-14's are non-restricted but I believe there are shorter barreled versions that would render them restricted but again, I have never seen them in Canada.

Who is "someone else"??? Your question, as presented, is sounding a little "trollish" as I have never heard or read anything like that from "someone else"...
Your original post specified "non-restricted in Canada". You have multiple replies suggesting XCR. Now you ask the question: "So are some XCR's non-restricted in Canada?". Obviously they are or you wouldn't get that as a suggestion to your criteria. I'm baffled...

The Mini-14 Tactical model is restricted, because the barrel length is under 18.5 inches. However, the stock that the Tactical model has is really nothing more than an ATI Strikeforce stock, which are available on several dealers' websites. So throw one of those on a ranch rifle, find some 5/20 or 5/30 mags, get a flash hider (either one of the slip over the barrel ones, or get the barrel threaded for an AR one), and you are fairly close to the same thing, but with a longer barrel.
wolverine supplies does a good job of stating which of its guns are restricted or not. i believe that most xcr's are non restricted, but dont quote me. ive also heard that the xcr's and the mini 14 are not good target rifles, getting at best 2 inch groups @ 100y. but for someone who needs a cool looking semi auto nr, i would go for one of these models. i know there is a tactical stock available for the browning bar, but some retro fits may be needed to accomodate the magazine, and i dont know if changing the style of the gun would make it restricted or not.
What is trollish about it? I'm new to this and there's a lot to digest. I just got things mixed up. Chilllllll.
I thought so. Thanks fnrob. This sounds like a good alternative. And longer barrel should be at least slight better for target ability right.
Try search key: non-restricted black rifles and choose "titles only" & "3 years" on the "find posts" drop down. The answer will be the 6th link in the list...

ACR's are both Restricted (due to bbl length) and more expensive ($2700 ish).
