Awww, This really sucks but i cant say im surprised after following the bullshit around this.

As small compensation, it seems like the FAMAE SG540/SG542 rifles have just recently been issued a non restricted FRT, and a restricted FRT for the 543(due to barrel length). Not that this helps the poor fuckers with 3500$ of arbitrarily illegal property.

Well, now I gotta go update the "cool nonrestricted guns in canada" gallery. Does anyone know if this applies to all the Swiss rifles, or just one type?

edit: ok edited the NR gallery, deleted the Swiss Arms(wah) and added the FAMAE family(yay)

Seems to both the non-restricted and restricted version of the Swiss Arms Classic Green carbine.

That's the FAMAE SG 542-1 - still non-restricted.

The Classic Green looks like this

That one actually was just recently given a FRT as non restricted, so it is good to go. small mercies.
