Yes... we're just working out pricing and waiting on delivery of one component we're missing from inventory (the sight kit). All the other parts are here and ready to go. Should have complete uppers shipping by last half November.

Do your handguard caps freely rotate?

I ask because that one's upside down.

I'm glad that another Canadian manufacturer has gotten into the AR barrel game. Keeps everyone competitive. :)

You are comparing Apples and Oranges... different barrel material, testing protocols, etc.. Our barrels are the equivalent to something like a Sabre or Noveske (materials, stress relief, MP Inspection, etc.). The Wilson barrels are a very good but very basic commercial grade barrels.

In the US you can buy the Wilson barrel (in the exact same assembly configuration as ours) for @ $235.00 but the Sabre barrel (as an example) is $479.95 US.

We tried to price our barrel at what US pricing is (but in Canadian dollars)... so I think it's a great price... and a great barrel (of course I'm not really impartial) :)

We will also be offering them as finished (complete) upper halves... but customers can purchase the rest of the necessary components and finish the assembly themselves...

  • Questar Barrel Assembly... $479.99
  • RRA Forged Upper Receiver Assembly (with forward assist and port door)... $259.90 (in stock)
  • LMT Charging Handle $36.99 to $65.000 for Tactical Latch version (in stock)

Probably not long...

I have another 125 Bolt Carrier Groups arriving in a couple of weeks so want to clear out what I have currently to make room for the new inventory.

Take advantage while the offer is there :)

As I stated in the original POST, these are the only two variations that we are offering at this time... there is NO POINT in asking me about different lengths or profiles right now. What may or may not happen at some future time is unknown and it's pointless for me to speculate.

We have no intention of trying to offer every conceivable length, contour, etc. that people ask us for... we are NOT a "one-off" custom shop... other people out there are already doing that. It is simply not feasible for us to produce "one-offs"... we're just not setup for that. We need to have a reasonable quantity of a barrel to make the whole process economical... by reasonable I mean 25 to 50 or more. We knew we could use/sell that many of the 11.5" and 14.5" barrels that we produced so we went ahead and invested the time and money and we think the results were worth the effort.

We'll see how fast these sell and what happens in the marketplace. Right now we can source 16" to 20" barrels from the US without any problem... and inventory is starting to show up down there so wait times will be reasonable again. Daniels Defense and others are starting to offer reasonable deliveries on 16" Cold Hammer Forged barrels and at reasonable pricing.

As for "basic grade" barrels we can't compete with the volume producers. In fact the best deals are offshore... South Korea has the ability to make excellent barrels and will make barrels made to our specs (material, profile, etc. to our drawings) for unbelievable pricing, the only problem is that those guys want orders of 1,000 to 2,000 of each barrel print. There simply isn't that kind of demand in Canada.
