    If you guys want a limited gun then get an HK416 upper, that is rare hard to get. Consider ourselves lucky Nordic and Colt Canada are providing one of the best small arms manufactures rifles to the market. 10 years ago and before that we all use to dream or tried to get some of the parts from the US of Colt Canada then named "Diemaco" rifles or parts up here. Times have changed in this one area for the best. All I can say is the SAS line is ideal to me and comes in at an amazing price. If you were only to buy one AR that gun would be at the top of my list.

    As for the intial launch back in the day from Colt Canada, yes that was badly done, but that was years ago, just move on and get em well you can.

At this point why not just sit back and wait for potential "blemished" or a 3rd run of uppers for an ever less expensive price? You know there will be a batch coming in a year.
    The ones at $1800 came with CC BCG and charging handle.

    $1300 for upper.
    $400 for BCG (before the prices on these dropped).
    $100 for charging handle.

    Normal pricing. The price hasn't been reduced, they're just opting to sell them without BCG and charging handle now.

    I gladly paid $1800 for the complete upper when they were available last. It was never my understanding that these were "limited time" offers when I purchased it. I was told that the SAS had yet to confirm their order quantities, and Colt Canada knew they had a surplus of complete rifles just "sitting". CC can make and replace any they sell on the civilian market here before they ship the final quantity to the SAS.

    And now that doesn't cost as much. And assuming you run a non cc bcg thats in spec like a dd, lmt, bcm etc, the bcg would be around 250... and the ####ty cf charging handle not on there means you can have something better for less on there... making it... a better value.

    Excluding the fact this is an IUR which are not that common to get and a reason in itself to buy one, for me if you were buying this as it was something representative of what they would be running you would think it would be critical to run everything as it came. That said most groups are allowed to tweak things a bit so you could jediwave that fact and upgrade it.

    I've got one of the Dutch IURs, but really, really want one of these in 10.5" as well.

    Was also wondering what the chances are of Colt Canada releasing any CANSOFCOM 11.6" IUR uppers?
