Funny enough, that restriction shouldn't have been long-lasting. I have a newspaper archive somewhere on my computer that said in 1978 that the liberal justice minister reversed that prohibition and made the AR-15, if it otherwise meet the overall non-restricted requirements, could remain non-restricted and be used for hunting between 1978 until 1992.
It wasn't restricted again by name until 1992. Originally proposed to be banned in 1995 but maintain its restricted status after lobbying efforts.
