The Modern Varmint rifle

I believe this to be correct, but it is Ottawa....


Basically the MV should just recieve a "child entry" FRT under the Modern Hunter.

Bingo! IF the system was not so screwed up 1 would think that it would be a simple "same but smaller, so OK here is your FRT", HOWEVER given the politics and manner in which the Canadian system operates it is anyones guess as to how long.

The BATFE took a whopping 12 hours to determine the status of both the MH and MV from photos only.

The MV will not need a child entry as it is a production rifle and we have clearly made all caliber options known to the SFSS already.
 
This might be a stupid question but if the mv had a rear charging handle but was still incompatible with ar uppers and lowers would it still be non restricted? Pretty much other that the 18.6" barrel is the charging handle the tipping point for classification?

The charge handle style is really irrelevant. The fact is our upper or lower will NOT mate up with anything else in the world, therefore it is NOT an AR variant.
 
liking this! how would you guys spec it from the factory for 3 gun? (yes, i know, very subjective, but lets hear some ideas!)

Very interesting, thank you for the reply. With that in mind (going off topic here slightly), I wonder why the CMMG Mk47 Mutant was declared restricted. Perhaps it was just due to barrel length?

That being said, I am definitely interested in picking up a MV once they are released.

It directly associated itself with AR's.

Just like Beo mags advertised for .223 that can be disastrous. So much of the law is based on intent.

Its guilt by association.
 
When you find out how it's classed will you be starting a new thread or posting here? And would you alter the OP of this thread? Super interested in the "Modern" line, really cool guns. Wish I had money.

Ill be in too. Love my MH.

Id like to know when for the down payment and rough price point. Of course the available options too.

I still say it would be better off with a standard ar charging handle to open up options all over. Its the only thing i dont like on my MH.

+ 1

A standard charging handle would be most welcome.
