[Cabelas] Smith & Wesson M&P 15 Sport II .223 Rem. Semi-Automatic Tactical Rifle

Way cheaper, great quality. I would recommend the 10.5" PSA shorty - look it up.

Every rpal holder should grab a stripped lower at the very least.

Thanks OP.

Great rifle at a great price. I'm very happy with mine.

Sorry to hijack but where can we get automatic rifles here in Canada? Thanks

As a civilian, you cannot. Only the Canadian Forces and police are able to have automatic weapons.

If you practice enough you could probably shoot what seems to be as fast as automatic and still be on target. Some of those competition shooters are so ridiculously fast its scary.

Excellent rifle. I picked one up earlier this year from Al Flaherty’s. Mine works perfectly with the 10 round Mission First plastic pistol magazines.

I like it because it has lots of doodads to play with - flip up rear sight, forward assist, dust cover, bolt release, charging handle, telescoping stock.

Wrong...There are several classifications that firearms fall into...the most common ones today are Restricted and Non-Restricted.
Non-Restricted are 'generally' your brown guns ( called that because they are your 22 rifles, hunting rifles and shotguns ) which gets their name from having a Brown stock. As soon as they get evil BLACK stocks and furniture they 'generally' become Restricted.
Restricted firearms are 'generally' ALL handguns and 'generally' AR style and AK style rifles and other 'military style' rifles.
I won't get into the timetable and changes to the Firearms Act in Canada but there are THOUSANDS of private citizens in Canada that own PROHIBITED Firearms. This is a catagory that new firearms owners cannot get into. If you have a PAL with the proper allowances you can own those firearms .
12(2) FULL AUTO rifles and (yes) pistols...M16, AKs, G3s, UZIs, the great Tommy guns, etc and Beretta 93Rs
12(4) Converted Full Autos and special exceptions Steyr Augs, HKs, UZIs
12(6) Certain Handguns having a barrel length less than 105mm, All .380,32acp,and 25acp pistols

If you subscribe to the Canadian Gun Forums sites, you will see Full Autos and other Prohibited Firearms listed for sale every day. It is anti-gun media hype that gives the impression that 'full auto=crime', they have existed in Canadian culture since the early 1900s.

Saying "generally ALL handguns" is misinformation or misinformed.

You assurtion that thousands of Canadians have full auto weapons is also wrong.

Don't spread scare tactics.

Great deal op.

Is this restricted in Canada?

Every canadian should own at least one AR15. If you don't, get licenced and buy one.

You need r in order to own one. Pal alone will not cut it.

Its a great deal and I probably would have picked it up last year, but I would personally just buy a stripped lower until Trudeau reveals the details of his gun grab. They've only earmarked $250 million for confiscation so I suspect payouts will be very low.

At least if you buy a stripped lower and are hoping to be grandfathered in to some new prohib class, the investment is low if it doesnt happen (looks unlikely that it will happen).

fyi - Nothing is certain yet but depending what they define as an "assault style rifle this semi-rifle plausibly may be banned by the government in not to distant future. Its talking about a buy-out for existing owners. The buy-out may or may not be for the paid value of the gun (minority government so not sure if its going to happen or details yet)

Whozzdatguy stated specifics with references to the act.

State some facts with reference.

Technically speaking, yes OP is wrong.
However, logically speaking, you're wrong which you covered with this line:

This is a catagory that new firearms owners cannot get into.

Generally speaking, if you have to ask, you can't have it. Anyone asking today isn't going to be able to get one.

If you subscribe to the Canadian Gun Forums sites, you will see Full Autos and other Prohibited Firearms listed for sale every day.

That doesn't mean that anyone but a very select group of people can actually buy them.
If I had a 12(anything) my saleable market is ridiculously tiny.

Hey all just a quick question - what's the latest with Alberta's CFO and requiring a range membership for restricted firearms? I've read that as of Jan 2018, proof of range memberships are not required at least in AB. Any info would be awesome.
