Sterling Arms coordinates and QC's the manufacturing / assembly; providing TSE with a finished product.

As the Canadian "distributor", TSE and Target Sports will do all warranty. Parts will be plentiful.

All rifles will come with a one year guarantee.

And that is enough to seal the deal for me. Thanks for the clear response as being an early gen it is good to know there is support should it be required.

For those in Calgary, we put one of the test guns up at the front so that you can come in and see one in person.

Damn! Really wish I weren’t on the other side of the country! Absolutely excited. Amazing news about aftermarket adapters, amazing news all the way around! Amazing job, team, and THANK YOU FOR MAKING A DECENT 180
 
TSE may want to borrow or order in a MRA Renegade/Maverick A2 stock adapter to test with the R18; it may work for the firearm.

Great to see someone came up with a solution blocking ingress though the charging handle track. Any chance of seeing the mechanism in action as a short video ahead of the main review?

TSE may have some stock footage of the R18 Mk2 firing at their indoor range that they can post. I don't do video reviews, so stills and a description willl have to suffice from me...

Taking pre-order?

No such thing for the R18 Mk2. You the buyer will not be required to fund the intial production of this rifle, which is all that pre-sales accomplish for the Seller. When the R18 Mk2 is announced for retail sale, they will be availabe from TSE or Target Sports. Easy Peasey....

We'll wait till after Bartok5 posts his "part 2" before we post any pics or videos. We really appreciate him taking the time to do this, so the initial thunder is all his.

You may want to pass Bartok5's review copy (when his review is complete) to Adriel the Hunting Gear Guy and Black Bear Outdoors for review, as both are located in Alberta.

So does this mean that they are going up for sale as early as late next week? Definitely need to get my hands on one of these!

Not sure... we want to make sure SAI delivers enough to us that we can satisfy a few customers before launching. I anticipate a few weeks.

Nice review Bartok5.

I was hoping more for the $2300-2400 range but that's life....

Anyone want to buy a lightly used WK-180C serial number < 125 ;)

The center of axis of the stock adaptor needs to move higher to be inline with the center of axis of the massive bolt carrier. The top of the stock extension should be lined up with the twin spring loaded guiding rods

Completely agree with greentips on his comment
 
Any plans on making an adapter that will accept ACR stocks? The rear end certainly looks like it has enough height to make it look good. One that buts up against the top of the upper.
