Is this a NR model?
6
u/SkyAccomplished6088 Aug 11 '26
No it's the 16" restricted, The NRs will take longer to arrive. GOV already knows we have them anyways so no difference to me as I dont shoot on crown land or plan on hunting. Just putting holes in paper.

u/ijlas Aug 11 '26
Newbie here....please explain how the govt knows what NRs you own? I guess they would know what you bought at some point?

u/kestik Aug 11 '26
Other way around. They know OP has this because it's restricted.
6
u/Farout771 Aug 11 '26
It sounds like OP is arguing they know either way. Presumably they’re talking about the “backdoor” registry that came about a few years ago requiring mandatory records from retailers and PAL verifications (through RCMP) for private sales.

After the last year and a half of the grab, I think its become quite plain to see that the NR tax is worth it when push comes to shove.

There is no "backdoor registry" for private sales, verifying a PAL doesn't require you to complete the sale. All the info the Horse gets is that your PAL was verified and you purchased somewhere between 0 and infinite firearms

u/Farout771 Aug 11 '26
Ya the backdoor comment applied more to the retailer records. Between the abolishment of the long gun registry and the new rules circa 2022 there were no formal requirements for record keeping by retailers, but now there are tighter rules and a 20 year minimum retention period for those records.

Whenever somebody buys a firearm their license and the firearms information is sent to the CFO and the business also keep record its said that the information isnt stored but do you trust them?

u/rankuwa Aug 11 '26
Its even less specific than buying - its whenever your PAL is checked, which can and does happen without a purchase ever taking place.

u/hunterofsteelhead Aug 11 '26
What are other ways your pal gets checked without a purchase?
8
u/Farout771 Aug 11 '26
You could meet someone for a purchase, they verify your PAL, you change your mind before the sale and you both part ways. This, on paper appears the same as if a sale had occurred.

u/GoGetInvolved Aug 11 '26
No law against checking a PAL. Maybe you're selling a magazine or a barrel and want to be sure the dude has a licence or you like having the option to trade guns around your hunting buddies a lot so you verify with your friends every few months ... or maybe you just like getting emails.

u/ijlas Aug 11 '26
Ah ok thanks. My understanding was there is no NR registry like there is for R firearms.
2
u/Flat-Dark-Earth Big Bore Specialist Aug 11 '26
There isn’t. The CFO knows what NR you buy today, but not what you currently own.
9
u/LumberjackCDN Gold'n Loan Outfitters & Pawn Aug 11 '26
They dont even know what you bought today unless you have already done something thats caused a judge to give the police a warrant for our sales records pertaining to you. All the CFO gets from us is your PAL number, your DoB and your email, they tell us if youre a good boy or girl still and issue us a transfer number thats good for 3 months and isnt tied to a single gun. (Aka you could buy 10 guns that day, only 1 transfer number)

u/Admirable-Sock-569 Aug 11 '26
I mean there still isn't really, not compared to R firearms. After it's gone from the store they aren't tracking them via private sales. Store can show I've bought it sure but I've sold it since then, and bought other things people bought from stores. Neither of which were tracked.
-1
u/hunterofsteelhead Aug 11 '26
There isnt an official one and older firearms cant be tracked very easily but new ones are recorded and any firearm that is bought , sold , given and I believe inherited requires the 2 license holders to acquire a transfer number which is possibly also recorded
2
u/gnu_gai Aug 11 '26
Transfer number just permits you to transfer NRs, no information on what if any firearms are actually transferred

Good now make it in 11.5”

In hindsight should have went for shorter barrel but im sure uppers will be available in time.

u/Ustauk Aug 11 '26
If an upper is an ITAR item and you can't import it directly from Brigade Arms along with the other proprietary components, you could probably get IRunGuns to do it for you .

u/Acc4Wtf Aug 11 '26
Looks great, glad to hear no malfunctions. What about the charging handle though, did it ever get "stuck" under the handguard and sheer off bits of metal?
. Also curious what's the first two digits of the serial number, heard a theory the earlier ones were made better but who knows lol could be propaganda.

u/SkyAccomplished6088 Aug 11 '26
Serial in the low 200s, Havent had any issues with charging handle other then hating how it looks. Wish there was an aftermarket folding one.
2
u/Acc4Wtf Aug 11 '26
Thanks for the quick response. I mean it's non-reciprocating so at least it's just an aesthetic preference. As for the optic, a 3x micro prism would be good to keep it light, paired with offset MBUS Pro.

u/_MlCE_ Aug 11 '26
Would a CZ Bren 2 stock fit on her?
3
u/SkyAccomplished6088 Aug 11 '26
Don't think so, Havent tried, My Bren is a safequeen and can't be bothered till the bans are lifted or overturned.

u/beastslayer2563 Aug 11 '26
What bren? Didn’t you legally destroy that when it was non-restricted?

u/dgod40 Aug 11 '26
There we go...finally people are using the correct joke as opposed to lost in a lake.
3
u/beastslayer2563 Aug 11 '26
I said that specifically so people like you wouldn’t go, “erm auctually it’s illegal to not report it to the government🤓👆”
I think it’s funnier to say the lake thing… but then I get a bunch of nerds correcting me.
0
u/dgod40 Aug 11 '26
I may be an erm axshually stickler for this situation, but it's only because some people actually believe in the "lost gun" theory because enough people parrot the same thing.
Also I find it funny that you call us, "correction Nazis", nerds, but you actually went out of your way to think about if people would correct you, and changed your "joke", on Reddit of all places. Good job, nerd. 😂
3
u/beastslayer2563 Aug 11 '26
I didn’t call you correction Nazis?
2
u/dgod40 Aug 11 '26
I called myself that in this context. It's all good, dude. Just the fact that we have to talk about "Lakes and broken guns" is the real annoyance. This probably isn't the best use of our day anyway. Have a great Tuesday.

u/beastslayer2563 Aug 11 '26
Yes, at the end of the day we’re on the same side of all this crap. Ignore the other response.

Who did you order the R version from?

the people who enjoy physical activity while holding firearms

That joke went over both our heads but now I get it. I always thought that names was wild for a conpany

u/TescoValueSoup Aug 11 '26
Both a joke and a way to avoid the overzealous permabans that Reddit admins (not our Moderators) have been dishing out lately for saying things that aren't against the rules

Looks like Tesco started drinking early today and is looking for a fight.
Edit: or a joke we didn't get. Sorry Tesco

u/glassboxecology Aug 11 '26
Hey where did you get yours? I ask because I’m a member at target sports so you must be close to me. Victory Ridge in Barrie said they don’t have an ETA for their pre orders. Not that I’m dying to get it right away, I’m ok to wait a little longer to ensure I’ve got enough cash!

What’s the OAL with the stock folded? Are there any AR style stocks for this thing?

u/beastslayer2563 Aug 11 '26
I hope someone will make a M16 or FAL stock/handguard for this. It would look soooo much better.
