This has got to be some kind of sick joke from the RCMP firearms lab

It is, they likely have some secret unwritten understanding that the firearm lab techs will classify guns objectively into the non restricted category it meets the technical requirements. Then their RCMP bosses will later secretly change the FRT to prohibited or their political masters will just OIC ban them later. Been that way for decades.

I honestly feel bad for the techs.

Whatever you do for work, imagine working hard at it and putting in the time to do it thoroughly and right while knowing the whole time that your superiors are going to crumple up your work. A very "what is the point of me?" job.
