I have 2 BSFs awaiting some range time. The idea behind them is neat, my only complaint so far is that it would be nice to have a shoulder for the gas block to mate up against. 1st AR style barrels I have encountered that don't have this. Took me a minute to figure out why my semi was a single shot. Easy fix once you realize this small detail.
ATRS, no doubt makes quality products but you have to wait a long time to get it, MDI has issues that should be addressed ASAP before it makes damage to their reputation plus dealers should check them before they ship. I just got my MDI and it's perfect, I really like a takedown screw idea, it can be a great backpack rifle.
I am glad we have more companies stepping up and manufacturing our own Canadian products lets give them a chance to survive.

Arguably, ‘long wait’ is relative.
ATRS is on run #2, and based on my numbers with them on run 1 and 2... they’ll be done approx 350-400 lowers by September.
An unknown number of uppers, as some people are ordering multiples, where as MDI is 1:1 ratio.
Latest batch from MDI has these issues, and is at approx 700 out the door.
This, since sept/oct 2017.
ATRS since August 2018 (not even a year yet)
My friend has been on preorder #1 for the SLR with CDN Gunworx since Aprilish, and still nothing. A year and a half waiting, nothing.
I ordered my first ATRS in Aug, and had it just after the new year. I’m waiting for my second set, and will have it in about 5-6 months (approx).
ATRS will surpass MDI on units sold and in the hands of consumers by early 2020.
I am happy to see MDI is still ‘successful’ - but for how long at this rate with ‘NEA quality’.
We’ve seen from this thread along, low 600 serials are happy with their product, and the lowest recorded ‘not happy’ is in the 50’s.
50/50 on it being a good firearm vs one with major QC issues that technically make it inoperable (gas tube won’t fit, barrel nut won’t thread, etc)
In a world of “I want it now” the ATRS long wait is a negative.
