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.

I asked the owner in the Facebook comments, he said he is personally submitting FRT for both guns. Hopefully they get NR

Happens more often than you think (hello Crusader Arms!). Despite what the Liberal propaganda machine claims, FRT is not law.

Still not best business practices imo. Id be pretty chapped if i bought one of these, under the pretenses of being NR and it comes back prohib due to being a variant.
