Looks cute, I'm not sure I'd want to "assault" anything with it though.

This was likely a legally purchased gun at some point, and has a transfer number tied to the serial. So if the guy busted wasn't a licensed holder, they will atleast find the idiot that sold it to them. Sux cuz I just ordered the adler sbr that i may never get to use ( which was shipped a thousand miles away from it's destination, thanks canada post you do such a great job, cough cough).

You don’t put in any serial numbers when you do the license verification.

Non-Restricted Firearms (Rifles and Shotguns): The Store's Records: Under Bill C-71, retailers are legally required to keep a record of the transfer reference number and the firearm's serial number, make, and model for at least 20 years.
