    Also as soon as we can we are adding another CNC. We need to finish renovating our shop and running power. We have plans of adding up to 4 more machines.
    I'm super-stoked for this. I was in early but unsure if early enough for first batch. Love watching the progress/pics/etc on IG. I can't wait to build this thing and get some rounds downrange...and take it innawoods.

    (btw, one cannot go onto any Cdn gun online community without seeing something about a damn SKS. Every. Damn. Day.)

    “Hey thats a really cool msr style reciever set you making, any chance you can make a chassis for a 70 year old $200 sloppy toleranced soviet carbine?”

    I swear anytime someone brings a new product out people want to know if the company will make something completely unrelated.

    What about making an improved sks clone?

    When will you people accept the fact the SKS cannot be fixed or even marginally improved ??? It is 75 year old design for illiterate peasant who could barely tie his shoe strings and has never seen running water. It served it's purpose, it used to be cheap, it has the accuracy of MOA of a barn, it's simple, needs very little maintenance while incredibly reliable and will shoot anything you insert into the chamber. A crow bar is a fine enough tool for its disassembly. If you run out of ammo, the stock has been built in such way so it could be used as a club. That's it, live with it, it's as good as it gets and spending more money on "improvements" is an equivalent of Liberal federal budget, a.k.a. a universe black hole.

    Just to clarify for everyone....

    1. We're not going to make a precision rifle chassis for the SKS. It wouldn't make the rifle better and you won't like the price.

    2. We're not going to make a new SKS. Nobody wants a $3000 SKS.

    3. This a thread about the Light Practical Carbine! FYI, we're almost done uppers for the 2nd batch, then it's onto lowers.

    4. If you really want to improve your SKS, get one of our AK style magazine releases. They're on sale even! https://spectreballistics.com/sks/26...e-release.html

    In my ~20 years on internet forums of all kinds, this is legitimately one of the best posts I've ever seen. Well done, sir. ��
