Verdict
Chinese Sks Rifle With Ati Stock 7.62×39 -Black remains listed as non-restricted, so this is not an Already Gone entry. The risk reading changed after the June 2026 Montreal shooting: CBC/Radio-Canada reporting identified the suspect's rifle as an SKS, and PolySeSouvient renewed its call for an immediate halt to new SKS sales while Ottawa was already reviewing the classification regime. That makes the ATI-stock SKS a poor fit for Medium. It is a common 7.62x39 semi-auto platform with modernized furniture, now carrying live advocacy and policy momentum. High means watch the next Ottawa move, not that the rifle is prohibited today.

What would change the score
- A formal SPVM, BEI, SQ, RCMP, or court release confirming the firearm make/model in the Montreal file.
- A federal sales halt, new consultation outcome, or SOR schedule naming the SKS, SKS variants, or SKS-derived models.
- FRT treatment or broad semi-auto centre-fire language that reaches non-restricted SKS listings.
- A contrary official finding that the Montreal rifle was not an SKS would lower the immediate policy-momentum reading.
