ATRS Modern Sporter - Nov 30th : New video, Post 482

[Fisselig]

The stripped receiver set is $975.
They are extremely similar, with the Modern Varmint having more bells and whistles such as an ambidextrous bolt release and side charging handle. The method in which the trigger is installed precludes us from offering the Modern Varmint receiver sets for sale as "stripped receivers". To bring the Sporter to a lower price point, we have designed it to use more commonly available parts and be more "DIY friendly." As such, we can sell them as stripped receiver sets.

Cheaper than Maccabee, nice! Will we need any proprietary parts, or can we expect the vast majority of milspec and lightweight bolt carriers, bolt, barrels and handguards to work with it? From what I can remember (and please correct me if I'm wrong), the MV had proprietary parts that didn't allow customers to build it themselves entirely.

My only request is that the upper's ejection port accommodate the 450 Bushmaster. I know, it may be an odd choice.

I didn’t know that they had a larger ports. Hmm. I was going to make a 50 Beowulf or 458 socom.

I was asking, not stating. But my hope is that ATRS will make the port large enough. Example:

It'd make it good for .450 SOCOM users AND make it lighter! Win win!

Hi Shaun,

This link answers my question regarding 7075. Now just curious with the weight, can you confirm a ballpark estimate on weight?

Thanks in advance.

The weight of the stripped receivers is 19 oz. or 1.2lbs.

We can manually place a 50 Beowulf cartridge through the ejection port. This does not necessarily mean it will eject properly, as clearly there needs to be some clearance and everything is happening much much faster in live fire. Individual modification to the ejection port to accommodate these calibers is possible on your own, through your local gunsmith, or we can have our gunsmiths here modify the port as needed. But they would absolutely be done on a one-by-one basis and there are no current plans for a 'run' of big-bore specific uppers.

I have a 50 beowulf and I was just saying, I never noticed it larger. but it is.
