Smells like a big payment is coming due on machines that aren't making money or a pile of scrap aluminum that cost more than it's worth now. Someone really didn't think about how much a lawyer costs... Lockhart was the same company that specialized in drop shipping almost 95% of what was listed on their website (pre-raven) and a lot of people tend to forget that.

FAQ: What makes the Renegade non-restricted?
There is no gas system in the MRA rifles so they are operated manually as a straight-pull bolt action, no semi-automatic action = non-restricted
The MRA rifles cannot be “converted” to semi-automatic by adding certain parts or mix/matching AR15 or AR10 parts. These are dedicated bolt-action designs.
The novel design, while using certain AR15 or AR10 parts, is proprietary and the receiver cannot be matched with an AR15 (or AR10) receiver so it is not a “Variant”.
Taking a MRA receiver and machining it (yes this is what is required) to accept gas operation parts is effectively (and legally) "manufacturing" a new design of rifle, requires an FRT for sales in Canada, and would void the warranty on the MRA rifle.
Also the machining would likely weaken the receiver to the point of being a safety hazard, as the MRA rifles were specifically designed to have less material where it isn't needed for manual/bolt-action operation.

Since this fine-looking rifle is manufactured from the onset as a straight-pull design, it would sell well in UK, where this format of centrefire long arm replaced our semi-autos back in 1986 after the Hungerford Massacre.
I'd be aching to own a gun made in Canada, if possible.

This is my K31 bolt. Is this what you mean when you write 'charging handle'? I'm confused as to why you feel this would be an improvement on what there already is.
