Hello,
I have an update for all those who put their name down for a DSA RPD.
Received yesterday morning...
At this time we regret to inform you that due to current domestic demand and our inventory of parts kits we are unable to provide any RPD rifles for export orders including to Canada.

Knowing how many kits DS Arms has before they are out of the RPD business all together (because we were trying to buy them too) I began to expect something like this as time went on. There is no need for DSA to sell to dealers at a discount when they can sell the last of their RPDs easily, directly, and domestically. They already have 12-16 week backorder waits on individual orders. I can't hold the decision against them.
This does not affect the RPDs already in our possession in the USA. We will send out an offer in sequential order to those who placed a no-money down pre-order for the DSA as soon as the rifles are in Canada and ready to sell. Ie, the FRT is issued. Final price will be set at that time.
Not my doing on the DSA, we worked VERY hard to try get these for Canadians, but I offer our apologies regardless to any disappointments.
Best regards,
Walt
