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 think we can expect all semi-autos, and even some particularly "fast" bolt actions to get banned at some point. But the main question is "what is available to us now" that I'm curious about.

I wouldn’t be surprised but I think they’d try to go for forcing storage at gun clubs or some dumb shit first.
