You're not wrong, but you still need to prove that it is for airsoft and not a real AR, and the CBSA have proven over and over again to be big sticks in the mud over the issue. I am more than sure that they can look at an AEG receiver and EASILY tell that there are 0 provisions for the innards of a real gun but they like to ignore that.
ALSO, the lower receiver if what is considered the firearm as a whole to the law, everything else is just fluff. Does that firearm shoot the required ME/FPS to meet unregulated status? Of course not therefor its a replica, so that is also a no go with their regs.
