I have no idea how the RCMP even allowed this. I'm not complaining... Just very confused

It makes sense by the RCMP's standards. Given its length, caliber, etc.etc.. They haven't been the ones making weapons prohibited for looking tactical.

It shares architecture with the FAL and AR15, but not to the point anybody making a technical decision would say it's a variant of either, given that it has (As far as I know) extremely limited parts commonality among its major components, like the barrel and receiver.

..That said.. It's probably going to be banned via bill or OIC at some point, because the RCMP aren't the only ones who get a say.

These were bans via OIC, not the FRTs they were given, unless you're referring to something else?
