Thank you brother for this information.

I believe as others have said such as [u/LumberjackCDN](u/LumberjackCDN), all rifles will have the upgraded QC so no more misaligned handguard/marring on barrel nut from cross threading.

To be clear both North Sylva AND Gravel will have the upgraded QC rifles. Only difference is gravel pre orders will have 12 inches of handguard. North Sylva have 15 inches.

Now the only question is how far behind will North Sylva be from Gravel in terms of delivery.

I am tempted to switch from uxbridge to a North Sylva dealer for the FDE and longer handguard.

My Gravel rep said brigade told them the NS guns are 150 days behind Gravel's. But who knows.

150 days behind Gravel? Like 5 MONTHS?

Understood. Your insight is always appreciated.

I have to assume that a manufacturer and importer into Canada of semi-automatic center-fire rifles has to act quickly to get these rifles distributed before the ban-hammer falls, and they find themselves stuck with a bunch of prohibs either at the manufacturer's loading dock, the Canadian distributors' warehouses or retailers' back rooms.

They're doing it wrong if they have any intention of mitigating this risk. This "quiet period" before the SCoC makes up its mind is fast evaporating.
