    Don't care about a forward assist myself, but lefty does need an effective way to keep brass off the right side of his head.

    This has my attention. The other product isn't due for months, so I'm not about to lock in a pre-order for anything until the day I'm ready to build. Looking forward to seeing what options are there on that day. Trigger pack compatibility is a nice plus too, as I've come to like such.

    Don't care about the forward assist, but as a lefty, I'm big on the shell deflector, and keeping my original teeth enamel!

    Looking forward to this new Product!! Thank you very much ATRS!

    I personally still want a forward assist. Maybe offer the option of two different uppers? I would definitely be willing to pay extra for it.

    Dont cheap out and use 6061. 7075 is the way to go. But I see why you might choose 6061. As the majority of cdn firearms owners want cheap.

    Standard AR charge handle, trigger, mags, and most furniture can be used. Being as these share all AR parts compatibility and the only proprietary parts will be the upper and lower, our insurance carrier can not play the "proprietary firearm design adds further liability" card.

    Having learned alot from the MH/MV process we are taking a little more time than may be necessary to test these, but will be producing a production run of them in the next month or so, at which time a "final production" rifle will be submitted to the SFSS/RCMP for FRT determination. Hopefully as these are based of an existing design that has a NR status it will be a short exam just to confirm what they already know. It is a variant of the Modern Varmint rifle, which already has NR status.
    You guys just made my day, week, month, year!!
    I love both my MH and MV but would dearly love to gut some of my ARs in order to have more useful rifles that I can take anywhere. I hope for everyones sake you guys manage to pull off yet another huge win for the Canadian gun owners!! Your initial efforts were full of BS and crap from some of the haters, but with your drive you overcame all of the obstacles and the fact that you don't just sit on your laurels impresses me greatly.
    All I can say is THANKYOU!! for continueing to work for us all.

    Sheesh... This will make a great addition to my MV 'original'. Thanks for letting us know what awesomeness is afoot, ATRS.

    Any way you can put the serial on the upper instead of the lower like an AR?

    So I can have both restricted and non restricted uppers for the same lower. If the lower carries the serial then a status change is required with each change

    This is an interesting development and good choice. My preference would be 7075, integral brass deflector isn't needed, nor is a forward assist.
