    Any Plans for a .308 AR? MAJOR UPDATE MAY 8 2014

    Are their any plans for ATRS to produce a .308 AR? From what I gather your AT-15 is one of the best AR's in the country (and an AT-15 upper/lower combo will probably be my second AR) , so I would imagine a ATRS ,308 AR would rival the KAC offerings on quality and accuracy.

    Thanks.

    I might get an AR in the future, and my vendor of choice would be ATRS if they offered a .308 version.

    We have been entertaining the idea for some time. Once we regain our bolt action production, a larger caliber AR style firearm may become reality, but probably not until later next year however.

    It really pays to spend some time reading. I was just about to send a email,asking the same.
    Keep me posted if this becomes a reality, its along the same time line I have set for a future ar-308 purchase.

    Funny you ask since the AR (Armalite) platform was originally designed in 7.62 nato but USA wanted it scaled down to 5.56 ,history has a way of coming full circle eh

    I do believe there is an M-16 in 308 cal. If there is an M-16 based on a 308 frame I am sure you can get an AR-15 variant. I seem to remember this rifle being featured on Shooting USA.

    Plenty on the market, AR-10, SR-25, R-25 just to name a few

    Something tune to ATRS standard will be awesome!

    Tough call, as a number of 308 AR's have already made their way up here. So it might be hard to be price competitive. However, if you can do a Canuck equivalent to Les Bauer's 308s' (he has an accuracy guarantee), at a comparable price, then you should do well

    I would pay a little extra for a high quality .308 AR upper/lower set or complete rifle that is Canadian made.

    I also like the fact that if I ever have issues, I could sent the rifle to the actual manufacturer for repair/servicing.

    Also, the ATRS AT-15 upper/lower set's look pretty sweet and I would gather a .308 version woul look similar (just bigger).

    I am very aware of the 308 AR's, I am very familliar with the AR-10, and will be looking towards Armalite, RRA, DPMS or POF, if ATRS doesn't come out with their own modle. I would prefer to keep my money in Canada, if the accuracy is there.

    As far a XCR-M, I will wait to see what bugs come up, aswell as if a heavy barrel varient becomes available, wont even consider it until I see consisten sub MOA groups being produced.
