The new NR NoDak Spud NDS 18SC

[SupaHawt]

Why dont we ever get rifles like this or fx9 with shorter barrels? Is 18 the magic number to the RCMP for "hunting" or something? I want a 16 :/

Restricted vs non-restricted

It’s a pretty big deal to most people.

The appeal to most people for stuff like this is that its a Modern Sporting Arm that you can take with you in the bush and have fun with. Like if it can be helped I personally prefer getting a NR over and R but sometimes it cannot be helped like in the cases of the AR15 prior to may 1st, If I COULD have an NR AR15 (ATMS and SLRs arent ar15 mmkay guys) I would've gone with an 18.6"barrel rather than the 12.5" I did go with simply because "oh well its Rd anyways might as well make it a compact range toy"

Each to their own. Carried an L85A2 for many years on Ops and I'd take a good gas piston gun over a DI gun any day of the week. UK SF replaced the C8 with the HK416 for the same reason (in part).

I've got a 180B and it got a lot more use than my Norinco CQ. Great ranch gun but vulnerable to dust, sand, straw, grass, snow, hay, bugs etc in the truck. Of course the CQ was only allowed to the range until the OIC, but even if both were non-restricted, I'd still take the 180 over the DI AR-15 platform.

I just don't like the lack of dust cover (I'm looking for one I can get mounted to my 180B) and a bolt release. If this new rifle has the BRN dust cover etc, it'll be a big step forward from the open action of the 180B, WK, MCR variants.

uhhh UKSF doesn't use the HK416
