WWJMBD? What Would John Moses Browning Do?

Dlask don't get too disheartened by the price shoppers on here. There are those who were saying the $999 for the Type 97 was too much. You can't please such people, those who can afford it and want it will buy it and may be quietly watching this thread.
I'd just like to voice some support for this idea. It would be tough for me to swing 2g's with the wife, but if it took 7.62 Pmags...
I'm surprised people mostly are interested in m14 mags. I'd much prefer something that dropped free with a mag release similar to an AR.

I will offer my two cents too. I look for this bull pup to be in line with teh XCR-M price range so $2,000-$2,600 completed. This may seem a bit high but for a new rifle properly engineered and backed with a Dlask bullet proof type warranty tat would be my price limit.
I do not think the Type 97 is junk but it is worth what they are priced at. The type 97 has no bearing on this new proposed bull pup since we are talking completely different calibers. In most provinces you cannot hunt with 223 so that cuts that markey down quite a bit in my mind. This new bull pup could be used for hunting, shooting at the range, or even shooting competitions with enough tweaking I am sure.
All in all I think the new M14 based bull pup project would be a hit in Canada for sure but of course taht would depend on the configuration for me and weight.

Dlask quality is expected and, therefore, they will execute each phase of development as usual. As far as competition its really between Kel Tech and Tavor. The Poly Tech is so cheap everyone is going to buy it no matter what. I feel Dlask will target $1800. At this price Dlask will win over Kel Tech due to quality, same caliber, and being Canadian. I think Dlask would want to price their product with the widest spread possible away from the Tavor. Because, I believe the Tavor is over priced and has room to move if there were competition. For example, if Dlask cost $2200 we would see Tavor pricing drop to $2400 - $2500 or less. Therefore, the real question becomes - will the custom pay an extra $200 - $300 for battle tested reliability and smaller caliber? or in other words - pay $200 - $300 less for larger caliber, Canadian made and no battle tested reliability.
Competition:
$1000.......Poly-tech T97.....(5.56x45)
$1800......Dlask...............(assume 7.62x51)
$2000.......Kel Tech RPB......(7.62x51)
$2700.......IWI Tavor 21......(5.56x45)
I'm in for $1800.

-under $2000
-non restricted
-fire ready out of the box
-either m14 or sr25 mags
