Any Plans for a .308 AR? MAJOR UPDATE MAY 8 2014

I would suggest offering this rifle if everything goes well in a 20" and 24" SS 1:11.25 twist barrel for accuracy and target shooting. Yes it's a bit heavier but the 308 does very well with a 20" barrel.

Also reviews of your product will be based a large part on accuracy. People wanted/expected the XCR-M and RFB to be non restricted sniper rifles. They aren't.

The use of the barrel choices I picked will allow people to put their 168 Federal Gold ammo or similar reloads along with 175 ammo into the rifle and shoot right away. This will give you the best accuracy ratings from the get go. 18.5" barrels with 1:10 twist etc require some fiddling with the ammo. It will take a long time to get good accuracy results. Initial sales may slow down or reviews on the internet may be unfavourable.

This also allows interchangeability between your accurate bolt action and the semi auto. Many of us like to only worry about a few loads rather than having to tailor a round for every firearm.

DI was a good call. It's much easier to get accuracy. Plus less weight and parts.

I would rethink the quick take down. It's nice to be able to break apart the rifle quickly for cleaning and in some cases transport.

Look forward to seeing pictures when it's complete.

Nope. Yet another month has gone by with no words at all from our RCMP lab folks. They used to at least acknowledge my emails of inquiry as each month went by, but no longer do they even bother to reply.

You could try sending them a notarized pen & paper letter. That way they can't deny receiving it.

They had to sign for the guns we sent them, and are not denying that they have them, they just seem to be ignoring my requests for updates as to if or when they may get around to classing them.

Its a long process. I waited for 6 months, and that was with weekly calls.

The lab will claim that your gun is the last in a long line of guns waiting for inspection.

In my experience, when they stop communicating, it means they are trying to buy time. Usually to find any possible way to classify the firearm in a higher category of restriction.

Or, just maybe, they ran out of duct tape, bubble gum and popsicle sticks, and are waiting for a replenishment so they can perform their full-auto mods.

YMMV. I hope you have a winner though!

I meant deny receiving your letters.

"I'm sorry, we never received your request for an update", etc.

I am annoyed, but not overly surprised by this.

My wallet is quivering with anticipation over this rifle. Good thing I didn't see the thread earlier this year! Hopefully the feds will come through with a positive outcome soon.

Hopefully it gets classified NR! The more scary it looks when done, the better!
