Well I pulled the trigger... Ordered a Stag complete upper.

Hopefully i didn't make a mistake. The specs sound good. Only downside it takes 3 weeks to be sent out. I guess they make to order? Anyway this upper came in way under the price i would have paid here for just house brand parts from True North Arms. And i avoided having to put it together. Even the bolt was $50 cheaper then getting it on this side of the border. anyhow I'm under budget. All i need now is a collapsable stock and a charging handle. I forgot to add a charging handle when i ordered.

Are there any hoops you need to jump through to own one of these up there like permits licensing approval etc? You are still stuck with 5 Rd mags right?

yes it's treated the same as a pistol up here. so special license and only allowed to take it to gun club, gun Smith whenever I want or where ever the RCMP gives me permission to take it. we are allowed LAR 10 shot mags and 30 round mags that have a rivit blocking the follower at 5 rounds.

only hoop really is that I need to register it... but really I don't care about that. their system is so screwed up they probably forgot half the guns out there.

No to drag you too far off topic, I think you'll like the rifle. Whats a lar 10 round mag? How hard to get the special license? So no handgun hunting up there? Can't carry a 44 mag backup in grizzly country? Sounds like you are freer than us stuck in California

You can take a hand gun in grizzly country. You just have to get permission from the RCMP first. Trappers also have special license to carry handguns. But just plain old deer hunting with a hand gun is not allowed. The license to own handguns is pretty simple. You have to sit through a two day course and pass a written and practical exam to prove you aren't a retard and you also have to pass a federal background check. Just one background check when you get the license. Not every time you buy a gun. I actually agree with the system we have as much as that is going to trigger some of you. Regular hunting rifles and shotguns are not restricted and aren't registered. Stuff like the VZ58, Chinese Type 81 and type 97, Tavor, SKS etc are classed as hunting rifles. The AR15 is the only one that falls under the handgun category.
