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.

It’s in fact does not have a frt. swamp donkeys is the importer from what I understand, he has a time limit on when the frt is supposed to be submitted and is in the process of doing so. But as of now it doesn’t have an FRT

That doesn't sound right how or why would CBSA allow a pallet of guns it doesn't know if they are legal or not in canada? You need an import permit and declaration of what you import into Canada.

Can you explain or link an explanation of how or why you can import firesrms without an FRT?

I could understand a one off if it was a model for testing,

If that is what he says...

Risky though, and just because it's legal in NZ doesn't mean it's legal here.

The schesimesser sp15 is illgeal here but legal in NZ.
