ATRS -Alberta Tactical Rifle Supply.

They build several models including their versions of AR10 and AR15 "type" rifles which are non-restricted in Canada.

There are a few other newish Canadian companies making firearms and/or actions.

Among them is NEA, a manufacturer of AR15 variants and firearms accessories, they are also in the process of getting a semi-auto black rifle thru the FRT process.

Ultimatum in BC, KS Arms in AB, and Insite Arms in AB are all making their own precision rifle actions.

There may be others?

In addition to their Modern Hunter and Modern Varminter, I think ATRS also makes their own precision bolt actions.

Diemaco, now Colt Canada manufactures all small arms for the Canadian Forces, including the C7/C8 family of rifles/carbines. They also supply the Danes, British SAS and many other friendly allies, law enforcement agencies and SF units.

Dlask Arms on the west coast are something of a boutique firearms manufacturers concentrating mostly on AR pattern rifles, super short 870 type shotguns and custom 1911s.

NEA or North Eastern Arms started out manufacturing parts/accessories for the Vz58 family of rifles, but moved on to 10/22 chassis and a wide range of AR-15/AR-10 pattern rifles.

Para-Ordnance used to be located in Ontario. They started out selling frames, moved on to their pioneering double stack 1911 pattern pistols and introduced the LDA pattern 1911. After the death of one of the founders, Para-Ord was moved to the US and eventually bought out and rolled into the Cerberus group of companies.

Inglis built Browning Hi-Powers during WWII for Allied forces and they remain the principal sidearm of the Canadian Forces.

Cooey was an iconic builder of simple, but extremely robust single shot break action shotguns and single/repeater rimfire rifles. It was eventually purchased by Winchester and continued to build the same essential product line under the Winchester name before eventually ceasing operations some years later.

Lakefield built/builds an expansive line of rimfire rifles and continue to do so today, but under the Savage brand.

PGW builds high end tactical and sniper rifles for the Canadian Forces and other friendly nations and civilians.

ATRS - Started out as a custom gunsmith/builder of tactical and target rifles that expanded into high end billet ARs; eventually morphed into a boutique manufacturer of AR pattern rifles and developed several competing black rifle designs, including the Modern Hunter and Modern Varmint, to service the Canadian civilian market.

S&J Hardware - Started out manufacturing a line of innovative tactical combat shotgun parts and rails, eventually moved into black rifles.

There are a number of small companies selling AR lowers under their brand, but manufactured in the US. Blueline and SFRC come to mind.

Canada Ammo, under its Dominion Arms brand has imported a wide range of tactical and sporting rifles and shotguns and is now manufacturing some product lines here in Canada instead of China.

Longbranch Arsenal - famed manufacturer of Lee-Enfield pattern rifles and related to service the Canadian and Commonwealth militaries. Sadly gone for ages.

Ross Rifles - Homegrown manufacturer of the Ross rifle that initially equipped Canadian Expeditionary Force in WWII. It superficially resembled more traditional Lee-Enfield pattern rifles, but used a straight pull action that proved unsuitable to the trench warfare of WWI. The Quebec company turned out some great target rifles, but were wholly unsuited to the role of battle rifle.

There might be a couple of others, in fact I think there may be another AR type company starting up in Alberta, but the name escapes me.

I still have a my first gun, a Winchester 37A single barrel 410 shotgun,that was made in Canada.
