Jard semi , 3wks away.

It looks like it has potential, a nicer stock and a full top rail (no quadrail please) and it should be a nice bush plinker. I'd be interested in 300BLK for sure.
What brand barrels is it using?
Any pics of the operating system? AR180ish?
AR-15 trigger groups drop in?
Are any Canadian retailers going to have this on the shelf so we can handle one first or do we just have to order one and hope we like it?

Details,details, details

they make there own barrels , and said if there was enough interest they would have no problem producing the 300 blackout. They're also looking at a upscale to 50 bmg in the same style.
 
They said they were having problems with stovepipes and beat up cases. So they made the ejection port bigger. They've tested the rifle with various mags , including the Beowulf mags and they are functioning well. I guess we,ll soon find out.
 
Will watch and wait on it. Curious about reviews etc
Hopefully it will just drive the demand (and price) for the AR180 down real nice so I can pick one up lol

I wish it had a longer option to mount iron sights on it. Looks like it would be about 7 inches of space between a pair of flip ups on taht receiver! :(

It has the option of a full top rail.
 
Can you mount a section of pic rail on the front tube? This would be a more practical for most guys who don't want all that rail real estate.

20 is not very many units, but it should be enough for early adopters to do some thorough testing.

Reliable feeding/ejecting and how well the internals stand up ie. ejectors/bolts etc. Any idea what kind of bolt is inside this thing? How about some photo's of the internal workings.
 
I'm going to have to see this in greater detail, including modularity and parts availability. 1200 maybe, but thats steep for what I see, 1400, not a chance. Just my current thinking, I think its great to have the NR option though. Left side non reciprocating charging handle would hep seal the deal.

I've only been talking to the manufacturer,I'm just passing on info I was getting over the phone, he said the bolt assembly was like the 180, and that the top rail was full. He did say that they made the rails and are open to suggestions.

He did say a left hand reciprocating handle is in the works, they are making the second run now,not sure what changes if any are on the second run.
 
He said if the rifle does well, he has no problem doing other cals, and that the frt would not be a problem. Also would be able to offer diff barrels, SS,etc. He mentioned 308,30 06 300 ,338 among a few. They make the triggers,barrel,hand guards themselves,.

keltec fx is $1250, and look how fast they sold a 100 of them last fall.

And it gets more interesting, but the cost has to hit the sweet spot.
 
I'm gonna guess and say $1500 + , it's right in the middle of what's available here right now. I wonder why these are not being advertised yet?
 
A smoother transition to the buffer tube is all it would have needed to really get me interested. As it is now, non-restricted in a big game caliber would still do it for me.
 
From talking to the manufacturer, all that is needed for a larger cal is a small order of maybe 20 to 30 rifles. I wonder why they couldn't have moved that buffer tube up an inch? I should have asked I guess. I wish I was more experience in firearms, the guy was all tongue and wanting to talk about everything, how they make their barrels, triggers , etc. I told him about CGN, he seemed really interested in that. I don't think the Canadian market for NR black guns was explained to him. He definitely was very interested. Anyway I just wanted to know when it was getting here , but got a lot more info than that. He's really interested in feedback from here, like what do you want to see , becoming available from him.
