Sterling Arms International R18 Mk3 Part 1 Review - Specifications and Initial Impressions
- Thread starter Bartok5
- Start date
Rick, the owner, said he really couldn’t stop him from copying his design even though he didn’t like it.
The other difference being that junior used 6065 aluminum which was kinda a bad thing as was posted in one of the MK3 threads.
So 6065 was good enough then but now all of a sudden it’s not.
This is a excellent summary of why I have been so openly against anything JR Cox is involved with, let alone the other bad characters in the community.
At least his shills and loyalist are making themselves blatantly obvious in the process, the "ignore" feature is a useful tool for creating a "Do not buy/sell or give any personal information" blacklist of bad characters.
Thanks you Vewdu for demonstrating strong morals.
That's how I remembered it as well. I was suprised to read Shaun's post saying ATRS gave JR permission
If you knew about all of the petty, underhanded, backstabbing non-sense that goes on in this industry, you'd end up boycotting 30-50% of the venders, suppliers, clubs and ranges.
The problem with this 'summary' is that it doesn't begin to scratch the surface of the shenanigans that have gone on - by lots of parties.
It is not a true representation of all of the facts, and conveniently leaves out the biggest player in all of it; the Government of Canada and the RCMP. There is no denying individual mistakes were made, (big ones that were petty and vindictive in their nature), and smaller ones that took advantage of long ago expired patents or designs that were not protected by patent) but massive ones with respect to law making and regulatory processes are not even considered. The later is the very reason most of this mud slinging was and still is present within this community.
The conflict JC has or had with his ex-partners is between them. If by extension you want to hold it against him, fine (I won't lie, I have in the past. I'm also sure it is no small factor with respect to recent turn of events.)
But I've come round to believe the real beef I and others have over the loss of use of firearms and property should be properly directed at the regulatory body that determines suitable ownership and use. Having members of the community frothing at the mouth barking up the tree of some guy that messed up with half-baked information instead of concentrating on the true culprit isn't productive. Doing so in a thread about a rifle review is kind of asinine.
I say this as someone who can confidently say I have more money invested in the Swiss Arms family of firearms than most people have invested in this sport, so do consider that when you paint me with your 'shill' or 'loyalist' brush.

Oooops, eh?
Turns out you don't know nearly so much as you think you do, eh? "
Beltfed nailed it on the head - "Asinine"

Things you won't see when you have most of the forum blocked.
Not sure who whizzed in your oatmeal but Rick confirmed that he didn't give permission after Shaun's post so my recollection agrees with the owner of ATRS.
Well said.
The broad brush of “loyalist” and “shill” is being tossed around, simply at the conviction of people who seem to have way too much energy diverted at this.
I double down on my statement of,
Find a better outlet. Use the energy at finding a better solution than berating on the internet on a thread.
I have no dog in this fight, but man it’s worrisome to see the community act more divided than a Twitter post.
Who pissed in my Cornfkakes?!? Simple - the handful of children who trolled my Technical Review thread and turned it into a JR Cox hatefest, with some choice words for me just for being the guy's friend and showing SAI's new rifle to CGN. THAT'S who.
We are waiting on the Canadian fabricator that messed up the proprietary Bolts to produce properly-toleranced replacements. I have no idea how long it will be. I was told "several weeks" about a week ago.... FWIW.
What do you expect when you align yourself with a person that's rubbed some members of this forum the wrong way?
In either case, i didn't troll you review, my post was a statement of fact. Your reply was childish and false.
