Okay my bad. It does say this week sometime on their fb page. I thought I read somewhere that a decision was imminent on the Monday.

The clock runs out on the RCMP in 30 days. They have to give us a classification by end of May.

It isn't close to the MH/MV design though which was designed specifically not to be a variant of the AR-15, it is an actual AR based off the original AR-102 design. NEA's rifle is based on an AR-10 variant that already has a NR status, despite there being few to none in Canada. Pretty much all modern AR-10's are actually scaled up AR-15's and that is why they are restricted.

Well, when the rcmp does stuff like this, the future of NR AR style rifles does not look so good.

the original ar-10 (original run of 10k rifles 1955-1959) predates the ar15/m16 (1957) by a couple years..... technically speaking the ar15 should be a variant of the ar-10.

if nea successfully followed original ar10 drawings (adding an sp1 "bump" to meet current interpretation of "law") there should be no issues..... the magazine on the other hand may throw a rock in it.

ar-10a - stoner/sr-25 style (original pattern)
ar-10b - proprietary armalite (modified m14 mags)

i think they would be on safer ground using the m14 mags..... IMHO

For sure,
Cheap and if it can take xcr-m pistol mags? 10 rounds of pew pew.. someone might have a heart attack and find reasons to restrict.

you could still use the aia enfield mags in the ar-10b pattern, they wouldn't have last shot hold open though

yeah the E-Lander ones

but the problem is that those ones don't have the cut out for the magazine retention thing





and I suspect modifying a mag to have that notch would be analogous to "manufacturing" etc etc.. all boils down to do you wanna risk pound you in the ass prison.

Nothing today so don't use all your data.

[lone-wolf]

Isn't this machined from a prohibited block of aluminum?
Maybe they're all prohib now

Actually I didn't see an Ar 10/102 80% lower listed on the list of prohibited ones so I'd say no it was not! Bit I know what you mean lol
