I was wondering this myself. The cocking handle doesn't look very nice for pushing forward.

Price is going to be the deciding factor for me...If it is over $500.00 I think I will pass and just continue to enjoy my SKS's

Many guys here don't seem to realize that there is a fair amount of military semi-auto guns out there which have a gas shut off valve incorporated into them, so that the soldiers can benefit from maximum stopping power & accuracy via cycling the gun themselves by hand. It is also a good alternative to have if the semi-auto system starts malfunctioning for whatever reason.
This is the case of the Hakim, AG-42, Rashid, FN-49 and a few others. So, a "bolt action semi" might indeed not be such a terrible idea, as the gun would have far better accuracy and penetration (for hunting purposes) than a semi-auto AK with the same caliber & barrel length. Although I do agree that an SVD Dragunov would've been a better success with this type of set-up, as it is made for precision shooting to begin with, with or without the semi-auto feature.
Price will be the key in its' success. However, if this thing is NR, then the sky is the limit on what can be accomplished on its' platform. Perhaps they could even implement an inexpensive proprietary semi-auto conversion kit in the future?

I own an AG-42b, and it does not have any method whatsoever to control gas flow.
You have to put that in yourself...

Lots of false info in your post ... Military rifles that have a gas shut off valve are not for ''maximum stopping power & accuracy via cycling the gun themselves by hand'' but in reality this feature is for launching rifle grenades.. And the AG42b does not have a shut off valve .....

Hmmm... For a restricted version, I think you're correct. Without digging out one of my registration papers and looking at it, I seem to recall that they specify the type of action in the registration. Also, I think you are legally obligated to report any changes to a firearm if those changes would make the registration certificate inaccurate. For example, if the registration says "bolt action" and it's not a bolt action anymore, your reg cert might be considered invalid.
However, for non-restricted, there's no registration, and therefore no registry to update with accurate information when a change is made.
The legally regulated part of the firearm, the receiver, is an approved type. All the unregulated parts you attach to it don't add up to an illegal gun, as long as it isn't fully-automatic. It's the receiver itself... You can either own it, or you cannot own it. With no obligation to report changes to a non-restricted firearm (as long as those changes do not result in a restricted firearm), nobody needs to know what parts you attach to your receiver. Just keep the barrel length at 18.5" or more, the overall length over 26", and you haven't altered the firearm in such a way that it becomes restricted.
Do you have to report it to the CFO when you drill some holes in your receiver to mount a scope? Nope...
I can find nothing in Canadian firearms law that prohibits a person from making alterations to a receiver, as long as those alterations don't alter the serial number, or result in a fully-automatic firearm. Only those two modifications are explicitly specified as illegal.

How in the blue blazes is making a rifle a bolt action supposed to increase it's stopping power. The volume of gas tapped off to cycle the action is not going to result in a measurable drop in bullet velocity.
As for accuracy, it MAY have a slight effect in that there are fewer moving parts (in this case) but manually cycling a semi auto still moves the same number of parts.

A semi auto version in the plans -0kay. But no where does it say: "A semi-auto version that would be able to be imported into Canada, and meet our regulations." They can make as many different versions of the family that they like. An SBR, a pistol, a semi-auto, a full auto - Doesn't mean that we will be allowed to have them. They can apparently sell this version in the UK, but that doesn't mean the UK will let in a semi, because it's a variant of a CSR and not an AK. Same here. Just because we can get this one, doesn't mean a semi wouldn't be classified different, and personally I think it would be. I don't have to like it, or agree with it. Heck, I don't agree with the whole "Prohibited Class" and would like to see it gone.
I am not saying that this rifle is bad at all. It may actually help us in the long run. If they continue to approve firearms like this, it may muddy the waters enough that the whole Restricted-Prohibited class becomes unworkable. We just have to hope that it would become unworkable and re-written while a conservative government (not necessarily the CPC, but a conservative government) is in power.
Ok after suffering all the 28 pages I think I will reserve judgment until that and other model are out as there is maiby potential for great thing's. ... if there semi auto fail to pass the classification it will be a painful fail for them.
