The R18 Mk2 Review Pt 2 Live Fire Reliabllity and Accuracy Results

Yes, the new production Lower Receivers will have the revised rear Picatinny Buttstock Rail with an additional setting at the top of the Rail. This will allow the user to place the top line of their Buttstock slightly above the recoil line of the Barrel and Bolt Carrier travel. This in turn, will greatly help to reduce muzzle rise when firing.

Any idea when we'll see receiver sets or full builds available for purchase?

Early in 2020 for complete rifles. No idea when or even if, Receiver sets will be offered at this point.

Just messing around today and confirmed compatibiity with the Troy Ambidextrous Magazine Release upgrade. For those who are Left-handed or folks who simply prefer a Left hand Magazine Catch, the Troy Ambi Mag Release is the perfect solution for both the AR15 and the R18 which lack full ambi controls. Low-profile, but there when you want/need it, the Troy Ambi Mag Release works exactlly as advertised. It is a great piece of kit - preferable (in my view) to the Norgon solution.

Neat

Everytime I see the thread bump I panic and reach for the creditcard...

I literally have nothing else on my wish list now and I'll buy this rifle the moment it becomes available with a medium barrel..

[Bartok5]

It is coming just as soon as those new Barrels and revised Gas Blocks are manufactured. Patience.....

Ditto.

I fear SA is going to miss the boat with the launch of this rifle being too late if it happens to come in the new year.

Sadly, that is the extreme business risk associated with efforts to bring new "black rifle" designs to the Canadian Market. We should all be extremely grateful to JR Cox for accepting the risk to his business (and income), even though he was also burned by the most recent OIC in Mar 2019!
