Apparently they have the approvals in place. Maybe found a loophole? But regardless RCMP have approved.

Colt Canada is gonna be releasing a version of the current Canadian Armed Forces C7 and C8 shortly under the Diemaco brand to the public. Basically a heavily modified M16 (C7) and M4 (C8) but they found a way to make it restricted and not prohibited.

I understand frustration with sledders on private property but pulling a shotgun is a justified response by the property owner?
I wouldn't consider gas thats only been sitting 2 weeks old gas. 5 months yes but not a couple weeks. Could get expensive if you're siphoning off gas every time the sled sits for a couple weeks. But ctire does have a manual transfer pump for about $10-15
