Building the Best Canadian Made Pistol Carbine (Non-Restricted!)

[Swami]

I'm a lefty and as long as it's not a bullpup it doesnt really matter to me if the ejection port or charging handle are on the right only. It is kind of nice to have a mag release on both sides though.
Don't sacrifice cost by adding features not needed. A quality barrel and trigger are more important.

your photo shows an AR receiver, how can you make it Non Restricted

Unless your a lefty, why would anyone want a right side charging handle? These suggestions are confusing. If its ambi for lefties, no problem, but if its not ambi, the charging handle should be on the LEFT side. Not the right. All Side charging ARs, tavors... heck... nearly every side charging gun on the market (save a few) have left side charge handles for a reason. If you can only pick one side... left side. For the lefties, ambi would be better.

Take my money now. I am totally into a lightweight top notch pistol carbine.
Glock mags are a must.
And hopefully the price comes in at projection which is half of a base model from the other guys

Following with interest, but only if they support Beretta mags

[/COLOR]Q1) Is an ambidextrous ejection port important to you when buying a firearm?
We want to ensure we have the features that most want, while keeping the cost as low as possible

No, I would buy it anyways

Q2) Is an ambidextrous charging handle important?

No, I would buy it anyways

Q3) Do you prefer side charging handles or an AR15 style charging handle?

I prefer AR15 style charging handles

Q4) Does "Take Down" matter? Do you care if you can separate the rifle easily to make it more compact?
We plan on developing a 1 second, tool-less twist lock release that separates the Barrel and hand guard together as one piece from the receiver Allowing super compact storage, and easy cleaning

I prefer my firearms to have a "Take Down"

Q5) Does weight matter to you?
Of course we want to make everything as lightweight as possible, but we want to know how much it matters to you.

Yes, I want everything to be as lightweight as possible. (Add: but quality and features by far, are primary)

Q6) Weight Savings - Would you pay slightly more to save more weight?

Pay more for better lighter materials

Q7) What kind of barrel? We want to build the best rifle package at the most competitive price possible.
We feel that most companies uses cheap barrels. We want to use the best. If we can include a Carbon Fiber, SS barrel at NO ADDITIONAL COST to you, would you want that? Or prefer just regular steel, or SS?
Lifetime warranty on the barrel! and our Firearm!

High-end Stainless Steel Carbon Fiber Wrapped - BEST!

Q8) What kind of forend / handguard?

I need a quad rail for accessories on all sides. (I like the options to put pic rails where I might want it, but not necessarily cover the handguard comletely in rails)

Q9) Do you care if firearms are made in Canada?

Yes! I support Canadian Business - If price is fair. (Maybe a little here, a little there, or mostly here, a little there, would be a fair tradeoff).

Q10) Price Point - What price do you think would be fair for an incredible Canadian made Non-Restricted firearm like this

1000-1300, hopefully?

Interested!

Tagged. If comes in <$1500 I will be looking at one. I have been thinking about a PCC for a while, but NR a must for me. Nothing on the market meets my price/feature point yet. MPX comes closest but price too high for me.

Fwiw, side charging, stainless or CFW, top rail all that is needed,, prefer Canadian and willing to pay a reasonable premium for it, lighter better but not a deal breaker if well balanced.

I don't own a glock, but if you have to choose one pistol mag that makes sense for price and availability. If it used Sig 226 or 320 mags that'd be awesome for me!

Good luck!

I would 100% buy one in 7.62X25
