Para Ordnance New Rifle

[Canuck44]

Here is a picture of Para's new rifle. Not an AR copy as the uses a piston gas system apparently. Stateside the gun will start around 1,500 and go up to $2,800 with all the goodies I am told.

The stock gives me the impression that it's not so sturdy. It will be interesting to see the reviews. Good post, thx.

That looks like an LR-300 stock. Would be cool to have it up here.

isn't Para Ordnance based in Ontario?

We should get a deal on these badboys.

Short bolt carrier, no full auto capability?

Too bad it seems to use a standard AR lower receiver... otherwise there might have been a chance of it going non-restricted.

What is wrong with Piston gas system?

Any input

Anyhow, how hard has Para worked to give Cdn shooters compact pistols with longer barrels? Oh yeah, they don't give a rats. Pass.

you do have a good point, even kimber took the time to make guns with longer barrels for us.

Not totally and since Para won't deal directly from the factory but through the distributor here in Canada, probably not.

To a certain extent, this explains the Ft Lauderdale plant as the Scarborough plant has enough capacity to meet an increase in demand for the pistols. If it is produced in Florida it will still be subject to US export laws.

i thought all the Para guns get sent to FLA, then back to canada?

defeats eugene stoners idea completley. Direct gas impingment was and is all about less parts in the rifle and a more directed movement of recoil straight to the rear.

Alot of people think that direct gas impingement is more accurate because of the fact that the piston disrupts barrel harmonics, but this is total BS. The bullet is defenitly beyond the muzzle of the barrel before the stroke of the piston has even started.

Interesting to note however, that competitive shooters, the good ones, generally favor the direct gas systems over piston stroke systems...

I prefer the direct gas because I think its a brilliant system. Way to many people whine about how it gets clogged so quickly, but I have gone to the range with 500-800 rounds in a row with oil or cleaning and no problems. I've also seen plenty of videos of people throwing their ar into sandy water, dust, etc and no problems. No problems that is, in a quality built rifle, the cheaper ones its hard to say.

yea good point, with that said it makes you wonder about companies that already use a different lower, like HK with the 416. At least i'm pretty sure it is different?
