Anyone lookin for a new Swiss Arms CQB upper?

[cjs]

Italian guns has one on consignment... Here in Vancouver.

Just the upper - brand new. Case, cleaning kit etc all come with it.

They arent a forum sponsor so that is all I will say.

 

[MPI]

how much?

 

[cjs]

2700 I think.

2700 I think.

For half a gun!

I've seen complete Swiss for about 2600-2800 lately.

Yeah, that is what I told them. Its owned by an owner of the store I think.

He bought it like that from the distributor a while back. Anyways, I didn't try to negotiate so maybe someone else can go lower.

Double the price sounds about right for Italian.

Why will you want an upper- which is a firearm itself already.

If you want to buy an upper- may as well buy the entire rifle because you still have to get a separate certificate for it.

Apparently he wanted to put the CQB upper and his classic green in a big SKB case and take them to the range.

 

[DMcFaul]

That's ridiculous.

.. I'd like to get my hands on a carbine upper though.

You don't need a registration certificate for an upper by itself do you?

 

[P0WERWAGON]

a sig upper is the registered part, unlike and AR.

If it was reasonably priced it would be much cheaper than buying a second rifle.

 

[cjs]

Yep, for some strange reason. Or maybe it isn't strange. I never use reason or logic on Canadian firearms rules. It hurts the brain.

If I had a SG556 lower I would want that upper.

 

[OZZ]

If I had a SG556 lower I would want that upper.

Anyone who buys that at that price is stupid! You can get a barely used complete one for that price and then sell the lower if you wanted to just have the registered upper for your own lower.

So by this I gather that the Sig lower is NOT the registered part? And I guess no one has figured out how to mate the sig lower (non registered part) with an AR upper (again a non registered part)? Not sure of the sig systems but...

apples and oranges... look at an AR, and then look at the detail pics posted here of the SIG.

Too many differences to list, here's two. They will not mate together at all and a AR upper needs a buffer and spring in the buttstock, neither exist in Swiss lower.

O.K. .... seen many pics of the two. Is this something the a machinist could overcome? Not sure, but where there is a will there is a way. Maybe not though, perhaps it is just too far out there.

Could a piece not be "created" so they will mate together? And does an AR with the 22 conversion kit still use the buffer and spring or is that action taken care of in the pieces of the kit? Just curious.
