Buy recommendations Legal rifle most similar to C7/AR15?

I know legal is in the title and I'm begging you guys not to let this devolve into a conversation about legislation; I just want something I can take up north to fuck around with in peace. Onto the post.

I'm in the CAF and my unit doesn't get as much time as I'd like with the rifles. Before that gets sensationalized, I'm not in a trade where thats as relevant anyway - however when we go on tactical exercises I don't like having to take a minute to remember my stoppage drills, field stripping, etc. I'm looking for any rifle, any calibre, that functions the same way as the C7. I know I could get an airsoft clone but I'd prefer to have something that fires. Of course, anything closer to 5.56/.223 Remy ammo would be nice, but Im looking for the cheapest thing that works and fires real ammunition and is legal. Any recommendations are appreciated!

Akdas Alcor is a semi auto 223 and you can get the crusader arms kit to make it take AR stock/grip and an MLOK hand guard + 10 round mag. It’s as good as it gets for now.

I have an RF224 kitted out for max cope

I have a kitted RF224 for cope as well lol. The Kodiak Defense kit that isn’t out yet is catching my eye for the Alcor as well.
