Why not a straight-pull AR-15?

Why hasn't some clever entrepreneur devised a straight-pull clone of the AR-15 that we can use non-restricted in Canada? Surely the Chinese could adapt their M4gery tooling.

Aside, of course, from the fac that the Feds would probably crack down on it anyway and nobody would buy it.
 
The reason why the AR15 is restricted is because the anti's don't like the term Assault Rifle 15 (aka AR15) the name was too scary for them. LOL.

Reason it is restricted is that it was used for service rifle competition and some org petitioned to have it restricted instead of prohibited like all the other black rifles back in the 90's.
 
Just looked at it. Would still be restricted. It's just an AR without a Gas tube doing the reloading, ala a 9mm blow back AR, but without the blow back. All the other things are the same. Same lower, same upper, same trigger group. Looks like a handle mechanism is attached to the bolt carrier group, with likely perhaps a small slot cut in the upper to accommodate. It would make a better sniper AR though I think as it would'nt have the clack of the reloading. Similar I guess to those auto loading rifles that can have the gas shut off for the same purpose.

If you do want straight pull just take off your gas tube. lol

Thats what I was gonna say. Get an AR15 barrel with no gas port drilled.


In any case, it doesn't matter. Any modifications to the AR15 design to make it non-restricted will make the costs prohibitively high, and even then there's no guaranty it will actually be non restricted.


We all know about (who was it, Alberta tactical Rifle?) making the modified AR15 upper and lower, and how the RCMP basically duct taped it together to make it fire a round...

We are probably better off getting pistol magazines de-limited than we are at making AR15's non restricted at this point.

MAYBE if Henderson goes out way, we can have a chance at getting a gun that sort of looks like an AR15 be non restricted, but im not holding my breath...
 
well technicaly its not a semi..... It's a bolt action....

So wouldn't that mean we could then get "normal" cap mags for it? (no mag restrictions on bolt actions)

If we can get normal cap mags for our Bolt action AR's..... (As long as they are marked for use in a bolt action AR)

We can use them in our normal AR's (like we can use the 10 rnd AR pistol mags in our AR's)

I think this is something we should look into! :D

Cheers!
