Any Plans for a .308 AR?

[BenL]

What we sent the feds is a very rudimentary but operational gun, the reason being we can refine the looks once we know whether to bother investing a bunch of $$ into the project or not. IF they deem it as restricted we will abandon it for now, however if they do the right thing and class it as NON restricted then we can start to get creative with the look.

As for 9" barrel length, NOT gonna happen as that would ensure it being restricted.

Price for the prototype in the $50000.00 range. Price for the production model IF and when we do get it into production will have to be figured out once we have some made. We are hoping to come in in the $2500.00 to $3000.00 range much like the higher end AR10 rifles run, but at this point it is merely conjecture. If the market will support the volume to warrant buying higher production CNC equipment the price would come down some, but again at this point it is too early to project pricing with any certainty.

The way we have designed these it would be very easy to scale it up for 300 Win Mag or down for 223 which opens up many more possibilities.

Ohh.. .223 you say eh? Now that would be very interesting. I've been looking at your AT-15 for a while now but just can't justify a range queen when I can go shoot in the bush easily.

But for now we wait for the feds to get around to deciding what they deem it as, it has only been 8 months so maybe I will live long enough to get an answer

Hasn't the Swiss SAPR been in for review for almost four years now?? What a boat load of BS this whole process is.

I think it is great that a CDN manufacture is giving this a go. I hope it works out.
There is no reason why we can;t have .308 semi's. to go hunting with.

Kinda lame we end up having to pay high prices because of decisions made years ago by the liberals. But thats another story.

If ATRS can make a NR .308 semi down the road in a few years, I will buy it. If it is good maybe they can sell it outside Canada and recoup their investment costs. And lower our retail in the process

All the best. Update us in the new year......

+1 on this project Rick. Here's hoping the Feds make a decision sooner than later. I'm eager to buy and will be at your door as soon as you start taking orders.

Friday lunch-time 2-month bump up.

And still we wait. Nice to see our governments action plan to get business and people back in the black, at work

Didn't you know Rick that the T97 has taken precedent over any other firearms up for evaluation ??!!

Sigh.

What the hell are they waiting for?

Well apparently not Christmas, doubtful on New Years, maybe heel to freeze over??

I'd be so tempted to be as big a pest to them as I could be until they got off their asses.

And possible guarantee yourself a ticket to the back-of-the-line, bottom-of-the-pile club too.
