Modern Sporter Upper Poll

[alberta tactical rifle]

We are trying to gauge how many of each we minimally have to make. The other threads on this gun have been saturated with replies as to whether a Slick Side upper or an upper with Forward Assist is needed, better yada yada yada.
This is poll that I would ask ONLY those who have placed an order for a lower to respond to in order to help us determine how much material we need to order and how many of each style of upper we need to make.

Upper with Forward assist

Slick Side upper

Due to the fact that we already have the material to do a run of slick side uppers, they will be first to be produced while larger material is ordered in to accommodate the F/A uppers.
We know several of you have ordered multiple uppers , some have requested both and we will be following up later for exact numbers, this is simply to try and get a rough idea on quantities.

So long as the slick sides maintain a brass deflector, that's all I need

Yes they will, they will have the exact same bolt on shell deflectors as our MV and MH rifles do.

Will the FA upper have a brass deflector milled into the upper? Like what were used to seeing on a standard milled upper? Thanks

I think ATRS mentioned in another thread the FA upper would have a milled in brass deflector. As they are starting from larger bar stock this makes sense for the FA uppers but not the slick slide ones.

Yes as the material has to be larger for the F/A so it only makes sense to also mill the shell deflector at the same time.

Ok, I have not yet put my money where my mouth is (need to trim the collection a bit first) but you have a guaranteed sale outta me if it is approved NR. I would go for the FA equipped upper though given the option of slick or FA.

Is there going to be a price difference?
I haven't ordered yet but will be as soon as the NR status comes through.
I honestly don't care one way or the other if it has a FA. I've owned AR's with it and without it and have no preference other than which one I could get fastest

I believe $100-$200 was the expressed difference on FA or slick side

Hi Rick.
I have 3 MS on order and will want to go with the slick sided version.
After 40 years of playing with ARs... I still fail to understand why someone would want to compound the problem of a round not wanting to properly feed into the chamber... by actually forcing it and jamming it even more... sort of like "I'm gonna show this ##### who's boss..." and rendering the gun totally useless now that it's totally jammed...
I prefer to save money and more importantly save myself the aggravation...
Thanks and keep up the good work.

I have 3 sets on order, I am totally fine with slick side. Especially if it means getting them in time to do a build for this hunting season.......!
