If the pupose of the post is to simply show the diff between the two products, why post in ATRS forum?

Post it in an open forum, where sh!t can’t be deleted.

There's nothing in this thread that ATRS would want to delete IMO, and if you think posts can't disappear from the other forums, I've got a bridge to sell you.

I seen your work and it’s very nice, but I got to disagree about the tools,
I’ve been doing carpentry work for 35 yrs and good tools do matter.
I’ve seen King Kanada chop saws that couldn’t cut a piece of 2x6 square.
So ya , King Kanada can eat a bowl of #### soup.

As for CNC machinery, I don’t get how there can be so many different issues , is all.
Is it more of a sh!tty tool issue? Or inexpensived apprentices ?

I think i just pissed myself....#### soup....lol!!!!

I chose to post it here since one of the products in my post is an ATRS product. If the other guys were on CGN and had their own forum I might have posted it there as well.

Didn't think it mattered so much what forum I posted it in??? What are you, the internet police? :jerkit:

Lol , nope .
I just thought the thread would have been more entertaining??? if it were in the open forum.
You know what I mean.

I thought the cartridge style triggers didn’t fit the SLR? Or is it just some?
Click to expand...

Yes they fit real nice, but you have to, and I only know about the Trigger Tech:
Remove the two set screws that provide tension to the unit, put the trigger assembly into the housing, turn it upside down and place in a vice.
Pick a drill bit that clears the threads in the set screw hole and CAREFULLY drill through the top of the housing . Remove the trigger and re-install the set screws, put back in the housing , install unit into the lower. Now you have the holes for the hex key to adjust the tension on the set screws.

Im excited to get a ATRS as well however, and not to be a #### and maybe I'm wrong but If it wasn't for macdef submitting this through it wouldn't have opened the doors

ATRS were working on the Sporter before macdef submitted anything. IIRC

And the Modern series LONG before that.

Don't know how I missed this part of your post but anyways....

Reality is if it weren't for the Modern Hunter we wouldn't have ANY of these products. Before the MH (and even during the process of bringing it to market) the mere thought of this type of firearm being approved was thought impossible and mocked by many. Once it was successful others started to think that if ATRS could pull it off then perhaps they could as well. So when talking about giving credit where it's due, ATRS deserves their due.


If it weren't for them the closest thing to a DI "ar style" rifle we would have had would have been the Jard J48 and we all know how wonderful they turned out to be (yes, I had the unfortunate pleasure of owning one). Thankfully we now have Canadian product that is actually worth owning.

Why don't we have a LIKE button yet??

...I am actually glad this thread has generated responses by a lot of people who actually DO own either one or both of these products and we have ended up receiving a lot of REAL feedback both positive and negative...

I've learned a lot in this thread and see myself going the MS way. I'm also seeing a lot of SLR's on the EE.
Ever since NEA, I have learned to sit back and watch the 1st Gen Pre-Paid phenomenon.
ATRS has already worked a lot of this out. Thanks

Interesting.
Mine is in the 59X range as well, and the only issue I found was undersized gas tube holes in the uppers I bought. I drilled out my safety in the trigger box, simply to use the screw, but it wasn't necessary.
Anodizing was perfect, machining of the magwell was flawless, the only mags that are a bit tight are the Heras from my WK, the pins were tight but not awful at all, barrel extension went in by hand with no issues and functioned without any issues.

-Mag well would take about 50% of my mags, some metal, some polymer, but not necessarily two of the same brand. Badly machined corners and what looked like a glob of Cerakote. I introduced it to Mr. Dremel.
-Gas tube hole undersized. Had to be drilled out
-Bolt catch pin hole undersized. Had to turn down the pin to get it to fit
-Buffer retainer hole undersized. Currently running it without the retainer.

The comments about the SLR being "NEA" quality, aren't fair to NEA. I've had 4 NEA ARs over the years and none of them had the spec issues of the SLR.

"MDI" should replace NEA as the go-to for describing bad quality control.

I totally agree with you.
 
Well said. Agreed.

Instead of drilling and dremeling,you should be sending it back for warranty,God knows what else can be out of spec.I check mine for mag fitment and all off them drop free,hopefully will get all the needed parts to start the build.By the way my upper came with already drilled gas tube hole.

Thumbs up to you sir!

The OP has posted a thread about his SLR in the general forums, it turned into a near legendary thread with bans and suspensions (himself included) . He asked if we would mind a comparison thread in our private forum to ensure it can't derail into an absolute #### show. Up to this point, to the best of my knowledge, nothing at all has been removed or deleted. But thanks for playing.

That’s what I’m doing, waiting to see what they say. Drilling out the gas tube is something I can easily do, but I shouldn’t have to. My biggest issue is the barrel nut threads, shouldn’t have to use a wrench to install barrel nut the entire way.
