The Stag 10s NR stripped receiver set thread

Good to know on the trigger
I'm not entirely sure what's involved but I have a feeling it wasn't a tonne of work for ae to just send the RCMP a sample gun to evaluate. Bcl, slr, the modern series all had to create something and possibly do revisions to get a nr frt. Stag already produces this gun and doesn't care about the Canadian market enough to make a custom receiver for nr status. If this came back ar 10 variant, ae would still be selling it just as restricted and they wouldn't be out much. Irg was already selling these in the US and just happened to benefit from the the nr frt
It's hard for me to understand those people who argues the other side of the coin when you know you are getting raped for NR tax if it wasn't for "Some" competition. I say "Some" because even IRG is charging higher compare to our US counterparts on many things they bring in. Regardless who submitted the sample to the LAB, they don't have monopoly on the FRT.
So IRG should sell the gun to us for more money than they sell it to their American customers for? Just to keep you and AE happy? GTFOH!
If anything, Stag sells the guns to AE for less than they sell them to IRG for. So who's really getting screwed here? Remember that AE immediately dropped their price when they realized that they didn't have any "exclusive" rights to the platform. This should tell you everything that you need to know.
Lets not pretend that AE has a huge financial investment into this. Stag created the gun, not AE. Stag shouldered the costs of this. AE submitted the sample and plead their case to the RCMP, then they waited.
Where did I state or infer any such thing? Hint: I didn't. I was merely talking about having basic business manners, giving credit where due, and trying to work with the FRT-acquiring company rather than against them by immediately attempting to undercut and steal business away for themselves. The cooperative approach was taken by Woverine Supplies with a result that works for all concerned including the customer. Very classy. IRG? Not so much.
Please tell me that you are being deliberately obtuse....
Here's the part that you're missing. These were for sale in the states long before they were offered here.... IRG offered them to us for the same price that they already had them listed for their American customers. The same as it is for all the firearms they sell. They didn't undercut anyone, it's their normal pricing... The reason there was a big discrepancy, was because AE marked their price up so high. I fail to see how you don't see the ethical problem with that, but do see it with IRG simply offering us a product that they already sold before any of this.
Wolverine has to work with AE because they cannot import them themselves. You're not comparing the same scenarios here.

I see the following at ## tech armour ee. USD 364. Is there any other source.
Do you think it would worth waiting for what IRG has to offer. Otherwise I will pull the trigger on this one.
Lastly what did you for your gas block and hand guard?
You may lack some understanding of the import and FRT process. Firstly, I believe that Arms East has stated that their "STAG 10 CDN" receivers are different than the version sold in the US, which is entirely plausible, as Arms East may have worked with Stag to develop a proprietary receiver set so that they could prove without a doubt, based on technical aspects of the receiver that it was and is not compatible with major components of other currently named Restricted firearms.
Wolverine Supplies is a large business, and is more than capable of importing firearms from a multitude of countries... take a look at their product offerings and exclusive distributorships on certain products. They would be more than capable of importing their own Stag 10 receiver sets, however it appears they've chosen to work with Arms East, who I'm sure they greatly appreciate did the leg work on getting these approved as Non-Restricted.
