I've seen some posts from a firearms retailer in Alberta social media and website and a couple private sellers online selling UTAS 556/308 AR10/AR15 straight pulls.

The rifle from what I'm reading is essentially an AR10/AR15 without a gas port in the upper and proprietary sized pivot/takedown pins to make it incompatible with normal AR10/AR15 but is otherwise it's an AR10/AR15.

Does anyone have any more information on this rifle? I can't find much online and there's no public FRT, I would imagine there's a private one that has not been released yet as it would be needed for importing the rifle from Turkey. Seems odd RCMP would've allowed this to pass as NR.

Does it take AR15 BCG’s? Or is it proprietary?

I feel like my friend bubba can get this thing semi-auto in an afternoon with a drill and some parts from a banned gun that’s just been laying around.

Everythings AR15 internally from the research I've done. Milspec parts, just the proprietary takedown/pivot pins and it missing a gas system.

Lol nice, this thing is going to be the Canadian equivalent of a “80% receiver set”.

Call it the “99 receiver set”

The takedown pins are not proprietary. I don't know where you got this from
