Sweet Baby JeBus! Look at that mag!

Really liking that 458 socom suppressed. Even the 338 looks like a wild ride

That 338 looks awsome but 458 socom? What do you shoot with that?

They would be restricted here so you would shoot paper with both of them.
I would love an AR styled 338 but just couldn't justify the cost for something I could only take to the range.

Would it be restricted?.....

It sure as heck won't accept an AR-15/10 upper or lower......

AR-180b isn't restricted.......

If they can be brought in as non restricted I have a lot of selling to do on the EE. Some of those "I'll never sell this one" would have to go.
Next problem would be keeping it's tummy full. I can hardly keep up the the DTA SRS 338, a semi would keep me pretty busy in the gun room.

Is anyone trying to import them yet? Tactical Imports? ???

Wasn't Canstar making one a few years ago?
Pretty sure these would all be restricted but damn I want one

Daaaaamn....that's what I'm talking about! That's exactly what I would love to build or buy...but prob to much $$$.

I love the idea of a .338 Lap semi, but since it is on the AR platform, it is just too expensive for range only fun. I have only 300 yard access at ranges, but I have easy access to almost much further on crown.

So it would defenatly be restricted guys? Cause it has a side cocking handle not a rear o e like a ar. One could wonder how much ar parts ar in there?

AR-15 lower receiver variant.

100% restricted.

And why does that matter? Accepting an AR-15/10 upper is only one test the FRT lab uses to determine if it is a variant. It is by far not the only way to determine if something is a variant.

AR-15 lower receiver variant.

100% restricted.

Yep.

A bear . . . in space.

That's what I taught.

These are already up here. I think, can't remeber exactly but, Epps possibly has them. They also come in 300winmag. I believe they were around $4200.
