Misc Future imports?

Since we're getting some more goodies into the Canadian market, how likely do y'all think it would be to get something like this here?

For years I've been talking with my buddies how we need a 17 HMR semi auto rifle like this. First time I've really found one that fit my dreams 😅

That’s an AR15 lower so, no, it won’t be coming here.

Yet crusader arms is making one with a very obvious ar lower the laws are sooooo fuckin weird. Like from reading around it sounds like one of the loop holes to make it legal in Canada is have an 18 inch barrel idk how true that is tho

The "loophole" is that companies like Crusader arms are using a proprietary lowers and uppers that's basically 95% of an AR-15 Lower/upper but it might have a slight adjustment where there's a notch somewhere or there is a different lower and upper receiver connection method, such as pegs over takedown pins, that basically would not make it fit on a genuine AR-15 Lower/upper but otherwise for all intensive purposes is basically an AR-15. That's what the Crypto was.

This new one they're coming up with is basically the same concept but it using a modified Benelli M4 BCG, instead of an AR-15 BCG.
