Have these hit the U.S. market, yet?

Wondering if there are any range reports out on the net, somewhere.....?

According to posts I've read on ar15.com one dealer expects to get his batch in January.
Someone says that there are 1300 units sitting waiting to clear customs.
I'm sure someone from arfcom will post a report as soon as they get their grubby little hands on theirs....:D

I have no way to confirm any of this... 'could be bullpoop.

I kinda agree... it's like the Kriniker - pretty cool but it's still a .22...

800$ .22LR Rifle

800$ 9mm Pistol

.22LR x 500 rounds = ~30$ max

9mm x 500 rounds = ~120$ max


Saved? 90$.

You can't help but save money and shoot it a lot more often than you would any larger caliber. A (perceived) slightly higher cost for the gun itself is a small price to pay: it's like a reloading press, in the sense that it repays itself very rapidly.

I really don't understand why people nag about a price like this, and then turn around, spend 2000$ on an AR15 and ~150$ for 500 rounds. Seriously guys...

On a side note, should we be expecting some sort of confirmation email that our names are on 'the list', I haven't heard back from anyone and wondered if that's ok.

I received a confirmation email shortly after requesting to be put on the list.

I don't know. I thought that's what it was? If it's more, :runaway:

You can get 500x.223 (dirty bird) at Wolverine for $200 plus tax & shipping. Cheers

Well I relaod so 500 rounds of 9mm would be less than 1/2 of that...but I can get a brick of .22 for a bit less then $30 as well...

But that was not the point, .22 just doesn't have the power of centerfire guns; that's why it doesn't cost as much. But you're rigth .22 is cheap to shoot, that's why I got my .22 Pistol - so I can save money on ammo. Wanna guess what gun I got? Hint; the name starts with N... ;)

To summarize: No delivery date yet. No pricing yet. Still awaiting RCMP forensic determination on status. If you want to be placed on our waiting list, the best way is to e mail jamesb@theshootingedge.com I'll place you in the order book. We will contact you when/if the guns arrive and you have first rights of refusal. As per our policy, we do not accept deposits on items especially when there is no hard delivery date.
Sorry for all the non answers, but these guns are not yet in general production.

I am not responding because volume precludes it. If you sent an email I placed you on the list. Please don't keep sending "reminders".
