Legalities of the 80% lower aside, getting the IUR seems like it'd be quite impossible. Quick search suggests that this is solely Colt Canada's creation, so like nearly everything else they make it's not going to be available unless it's a MIL/LE purchase. Now if Colt Manufacturing in general starts selling it, then it'd be a bit easier to get one. That being said, Colt might be able to get raw forgings to finish in the states, but they can't import completed upper receivers (Something about ITAR) so the chances of this... not good.

Not entirely correct. There are ways to import/export completed uppers. And I mean legal ways, not the "Ship it to right across the border and go get it" that seems to be the ASC ITAR standard. They can be extremely frustrating and time consuming, not even close to worth the hassle. They can also be a complete pain in the ass with the requirement of a bunch of shit needing filled out at multiple stages of the process. I haven't done it in a few years and I don't fully remember the process, but I will say it's not even close to worth it.
