    Exclamation The Sterling Arms TR Intro..... Well hello world... and DONE

    So..... with the recent change to the FRT, we are unsure as to the status of this firearm, so we are voluntarily ceasing any further sales. We have engaged legal and are in discussions with other affected parties to challenge this, but the risks to continue selling are too great.

    Everyone who bought one, will receive their receiver set/s in due course.

    Thank you for your continued support!

    Sincerely,

    JR


    We were going to wait and have a fancy launch in a week or so, but given the antics of the RCMP, we decided we needed to do this today!

    Introducing the newest member of the Sterling Arms family!

    The SAI TR (TR stands for Target Rifle)

    The SAI TR is based on the proven and beautiful ATRS “Modern Sporter” (FRT # 194622)

    Calibre: Whatever you want, but it is perfect for the 5.56mm / .223
    Action: Semi-Auto
    Upper Receiver: Aircraft Grade 6061-T6 Aluminum
    Lower Receiver: Aircraft Grade 6061-T6 Aluminum
    Finish: Hard Coat Anodized Class III – Black

    Yes, this is non-restricted today, but we expect it to be prohibited anytime now.

    Retail price for a receiver set is $799

    Each set comes with:
    1 x upper
    1 x lower
    1 x 2 piece rear takedown pin.

    This receiver set is interchangeable with the ATRS MS…

    Yes the pre-production models have a different marking... But the production ones are marked "SAI TR"

    It builds with any standard AR15 LPK.

    Just to make sure the design and build were proper… today 4 of us sat in the rifle bay and each put a rifle together under the watchful eye of Eddie… not a hiccup, nor snag! We did just use the rear take down pin and a piece of ape... yup classy... as our two piece rear pins were not back from the oxidizers yet.

    Heck ya.... the dust covers also fit with no issues!

    And then we shot them.... each 20 rds... not a stoppage... yes I know that is not a high round count, but better than the 3 rounds others shoot before they shipped to us.

    Do we expect to sell any? Not really.... but when Trudeau decides to cut us a cheque 2 years from now, it will be that much LARGER because we have hundreds of these in stock being finished up.

    No, this is not a "licensed" copy. I spoke with Rick at ATRS to see if he would license it to me.... long story short, he wasnʻt interested and even stated that the design was in the public domain, so anyone was free to copy it.... I tried to give him money... honest...

    Basically, we have a Sterling model in with the RCMP that should for all intents and purposes be non-resticted, but itʻs been in for about 18 months. When the talk of a ban started, we switched gears to get, what we hoped was something out to market asap.... we misjudged obviously.

    yes, weʻve also heard about the ATRS Sporter being deemed prohibit today internally with the RCMP, but nothing has been "published" yet. On the FRT I can see through the dealer portal, it is still non-restricted. In order to ensure we are on the "list" we felt we had to get this out in the public domain today... basically proof of commercialization and retail.

    We donʻt expect to sell many, if any, but Trudope and Billy the Bully Blair cannot avoid paying us our pound of flesh now... If we lose our court challenge...
