DO WANT.

Who's going to import this for me?

^^^ This is big news. How many of us would love to have the opportunity to get trigger time without the hassle of having to go to a range to shoot ammunition? I'm with NavyShooter. These need to be brought into Canada. With any luck the accuracy will be acceptable for its intended useage.

"the shooter has to do work the bolt back every time after firing" - so not much of a training tool after all, unless you are training for slow fire.

I read that they are working on a semi-auto version that would be more expensive...check the FAQ at bottom of this link.

It'll be banned by the RCMP because it is too much fun.

nice idea, but the AR lower is the part that is registered, so it will still be restricted.

Just buy an air soft AR if you want something to shoot around the house, apparently the magpul guys thinks this is good training....

it a upper only.. you use your own lower..

why would you get this when you could get a Gas Blow back Airsoft AR , full metal, full weight and handling as a real AR ..Same operation as your real AR, same manual of arms...And reasonable recoil ( a little more than a .22lr ) and not have to #### after every shot?

Arrrgh... I want this now, this combined with all the new SHOT show stuff, i'm going to need another job

It's still a restricted firearm. I can't way to get a restricted pellet gun!

 

[50calshooter]

You would still only be able to use it at the range seeing as it needs a restricted lower. Might as well get a .22lr kit then...


Edit Armedsask beat me to it...

 

[nockon]

Why get one of them?

Same reason you can get one of these if you own and AR-15...

I still blows my mind that so many AR15 owners don't understand why the rifle is restricted and how it always will be.

it is far easier to live in denial, than to face the truth

 

[hbean]

and what am I suppose to do in the woods with just a upper?

 

[300Spartans]

Apart from airsoft, is there not a .177 or .22 pellet or bb rifle that simulates an AR?

The Air-17 doesn't count either before you post.

Ain't this the truth... lol

I still like it....you cant use it outside; but no one is going to hassel you if you shoot it in your basement. Its neat only because you get to use your real AR lower.

Its really only worth it however, if it does not cost much more than a half decent air rifle on its own, which I feel would be unlikly.

Hassle or not, it is a offense.

Price: about $1200USD based on the pilkguns article. Not for casual use. Given the price, the one-shot-one-pull, the high-end barrel and muzzle device, and the PCB air system, this is a narrowly-targeted training tool for one type of competition: National Match.
