    I would be much more amenable to a version of this where I could move the compatible parts from my standard lower over. In the $1200 range would work.

    Wasn't accusing you Luke_P, was a response to 'rem338win'.

    We should be able to get complete guns with the 553-US type lower, as well as other options mentioned earlier.

    As I mentioned, we are exploring other options for this lower.

    That is fine Justin, I am not accusing you and frankly 5 to 10 points in any industry is at the low end. My point is that somewhere there is a disconnect, and I do believe that you will sell some of these because some people have expendable income, or an addiction:D Though I have found TSE high on the pricing end, and that probably comes down to overhead, and often is due to the service and services that are provided, which is again, normal. If you guys are sustaining and staying liquid as a company, it obviously works.

    Are they somehow making you pay VAT as the product flies over Europe then cause that could explain it

    It all looks good, and I like the idea of that lower on a classic black non-res, but I think a person would be daft to invest $5500 to get there. My opinion, and I hope some people disagree or this would be boring.

    For those asking for the import of a complete 553 rifle, would the RCMP not declare that a 550 variant?

    Something close can be done with a Swiss Arms upper ($2K?); NEA lower with trigger parts installed (advertised for $999) and say, a Magpul telescoping stock for a total lower end of $3K.

    Are there copies of Swiss Arms folders in the US? I think there are.

    I might be dreaming, but is there any chance to have these rifles chambered in anything other than 5.56/.223? 6.8SPC?

    Their 55x series guns come in nothing but 5.56mm.

    If this thing is made in Switzerland, just have them slap in on a black special upper right at the factory. Done and done.

    we (at least me) are not asking for a 553 based off of a 550. I want the new lower(which is not select fire so not 550) attached to a pe 90 from the word go. good times
