Misc Bear Creek Arsenal BC-8

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lv7GCz56NAg

I was wandering around youtube when I came across a SmallArmsSolutions review for this particular platform. Somewhat interestingly, it seems mostly C-21 compliant? It has a proprietary 5 round magazine and seems to be extended to work with their proprietary BC-8 uppers, so it's not AR-10 compatible. Thoughts on whether or not this would actually be legal to import into Canada? I suspect it might be caught on being an "AR Variant" but it'd be interesting to hear all of your thoughts.

It's a proprietary rifle made before Bill C21 explicitly for hunting so there's a good chance the RCMP lab would initially approve it. But the question is whether it would get caught up in a futuee OIC

I just assume everything will at some point under the current liberals. They sure like to go “look how many X assault weapons we banned”.

First they banned actual assault rifles. Then they went after assault "style" rifles. Then the RCMP lab prohibited "variants" of assault "style" rifles. Now the antigunners are calling the SKS a "loophole". Eventually they'll call every gun a loophole of a variant of a style of an assault rifle.

they also tried to ban assault looking airosft and paintballs guns during the C21 legislation, which they called it "gate way" guns.

Better ban bananas for being a variant of a gateway gun

Put those fingers down or you'll lose them too.

Gateway guns really? Aren’t these the same types of assholes that cry that weed shouldn’t be considered a gateway drug?

It’s only a matter of time before our favourite sticks catch the ban hammer. 😔
