Just kdding on the dum dum, shoulda used a
My point was that the Canadian versions are very basic and still worth a pretty penny. BTW another forsure differance is also the folding stock, IIRC Questar was the only dealer that managed to get any of the enhanced versions.
RCMP cannot reclassify whatever they want. Remember the RCMP will probably be hit by huge budget cuts and the fat that will need to be cut includes the huge firearms bureaucracy...
Revolvers RULE; remember that next time you BEND over to pick up brass OR ejected brass pings off the precision gear.
Looking for a car pool buddy for weekly weekday trips from Burnaby to POCO. Better yet I'll drive weekly and you take me hunting.
I hate to burst your bubble or confuse you with actual facts but let's set the record straight on a few things...
- The FN SCAR's sold for $3,699.99 (plus tax) not $4,500 as you stated;
- On the Questar Non-Restricted ACR's, I have no idea where you pulled that "$4,200 or more" guess from, it's simply laughable.
- We're expecting the Basic ACR with our 18.7" non-restricted barrel to be @ $2,899.99 to $2,999.99 (plus tax and shipping)
Most of the guns available right now are FDE/Tan versions... finding Black has been next to impossible right now.
Also, current export permit won't allow export of folding or collapsable stocks so the BASIC/ORC versions are all that are exportable for us right now.

First of all, those were the figures dealers and the likes were throwing around when the ACR was first a thought, your staff included. However, I should have been more clear that the numbers I was using were "to your door" pricing. I always use "all in" numbers because thats the number that counts on the credit card statement. My applogies for not being more clear.
There are still dealers out there that are pricing the ACR at about $3900 all said and done, depending on where you live. Also that's just for the basic version, I was told you guys managed to get some with folders and rails, so it was logical to assume that they would've been a couple hundred more. I wasn't totally out to lunch, but it is nice to see that you have lowered your pricing to be better competitive.
As far as SCAR goes my apologies, depending on where you lived they came in around the 4000 range. I should've known not to trust the internet, my bad.
If I don't get one of the first ones off of the line, there better be a solid range review with pics. Don't be selfish, you lucky few.
The "Canadian" ACR version is black with the fixed stock and aluminium tri-rail/hand guard, just to clarify. Price was $3,125 plus applicable taxes/etc.
I don't believe there's a flash hider on the ACR, but since the plan was to always strip the factory barrel to utilize Questar's 18.7" NR match one instead - I didn't really care one way or the other (incidentally, the NR barrel is reportedly much lighter than the factory).
Add the folding/collapsible stock and flash hider and I'm all set.
