^^^ see answers in bold.
We can bicker over who did what until we're blue in the face. Let's just be happy that we have a couple of manufactures who took some risks to provide us with products that most of us thought we'd never see.
And as Sqr implied, competition is a good thing.
Take your pick and enjoy.
Your memory is ok just selective.
ATRS said and to this day maintains they will not/cannot sell stripped uppers and lower for their Modern Hunter and Modern Varmint due to the number of proprietary parts, which in itself makes sense. What good is a stripped reciever if you can't get the proprietary parts such as charge assembly, bolt release upper to lower capture system etc.?
The WHOLE point of the Modern Sporter is to do away with ALL proprietary parts, thereby enabling to not have insurance rules mess with sales.
The fact is ATRS had the Sporter under development and testing BEFORE Macabee even existed. The Sporter was in the works while they were still awaiting FRT status for their Varminter.
IIRC it was me that made it public that they had something in the works. With the beans spilled they made it public knowledge. Talking with Rick he wanted to have product on the shelf first rather than pre-orders so I blew that for him. (Sorry Dude) I seriously doubt he ever took it that Wyatt was any sort of threat to his business and now that we have both, seems he was right.
So very very true!!
First off it's not an AR. Many people are making that mistake. It uses some AR parts but it doesn't have AR specs or tolerances. Keep that in mind. Mine is number 199. It went together fine and runs perfectly.
I bought my Mac from the EE on here. It’s low 100 serial number. The steel mags don’t fit real well. Pretty tight. But the polymer mags fit very nice and run great. I cannot believe how accurate this rifle is. Shoots 3/4moa with everything I’ve put in it. I’m running 60gr v max right now for coyotes. I didn’t even do load development yet. Just loaded and it’s scary accurate. Some people are saying the finish and coatings are poor. I think it’s very nice. Everything about the rifle is perfect to me. Ya the mag well should have been bigger. But its fine with polymers.
This is why I bought it and love it!

Oh really? Do tell us more. Can we all assume you work for ATRS?
I would assume he's talking about Black Leaf Industries. There was mention that they had a receiver set in the works but it's been awfully quiet lately.

Would be nice if these companies could get the product on there shelf’s.......not wait 3 to 7 months for them to be made ....just ridiculous.....ya I know it’s all about the tooling and machinery but ...one wonders....why not hire more people why not get more machines .....
I would really like to buy one of these from either companies.....but really the wait is a real pain
And the wait continues.....

I am VERY curious as to how someone not in any way related to my company can make such a bold statement.
Suffice to say YOU are 100% WRONG!!

With just a mere 1 MILLION dollars of investment we could increase our production by 25%.
If you had ordered the receiver set last year when we introduced them you could most likely be shooting now.
Our hope is at some point to have sets on the shelf, but I don't see this happening soon.
