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.

I’m an American and BCA is absolutely garbage, stay away at all costs.

We won't have the choice. Even if this does technically meet the criteria to avoid being caught by the "assault weapon" ban, it would be instantly proscribed by name regardless because of it's appearance.

The only semi-autos we can get now are overtly fuddy ones.

I get that, but I’d honestly be surprised if this didn’t break before it gets banned.

As the other commentor pointed out, we don't really have much choice. While I'm not confident in whether or not it can actually be brought up here, I'm also happy to find something even somewhat modern that seems like it would be legal.
