Any updates on Troy Sporting Rifle (PAR)

The best solution would be to just get an unregulated pistol upper for your rifle lower and make sure you have the rifle oal. Forget the hassle of the pistol marked lowers.

Yup, let's get that done. I want me a non res pdw. Plus theoretically it would save cash I you have one lower and multiple uppers. (Depends on what they charge for it obviously).
 
So has anyone seen Pictures of the .308 with the rail covers off? I am curious if there is room to mount a bipod in front of the pump mechanism.
 
How fluted are the chambers (sorry if this has been answered already)? I am looking at buying one, but plan to reload; if the fluting is so severe that the brass is not reloadable, that is a deal breaker for me.

I think basically we will have to find out ourselves. There is 0 info on the .308. the fluting on the 223 is minimal. If you are like me and reload most of your ammo I think we may have to consider a barrel swap. I would like to test it first though.

I was thinking this as well.
 
Sucks though to have to plan to replace the barrel even before you buy it. It is one thing when you buy the gun for the action alone, but I had planned to buy it, pull the scope off a rifle I was going to sell to buy it, and be done.

Who even makes replacement barrels for them?
 
Well, the fluting is probably needed for extraction. So it may not work properly with some ammo if a regular barrel is installed .

This is true, however a few folks have done it in the states and have not reported any issues. It would be worth keeping the original barrel just in case though. Assuming you would only get 3 reloads with a fluted chamber, I think it would be worth it to switch. I would like to try reloading with this rifle first and see how long it takes for the brass to become too stressed before I decide to re-barrel. It might be just fine the way it is.
 
American forums reported like 3 reloads being the max...but not supporting information (Internet forums eh)

I would like to see how they work. Other pump rifles out there (various Remingtons) don't use fluting and I have never heard of problems.

But then, why would Troy bother specifying them if not needed. Hmmmm.
 
People who buy this kind of rifle most likely will feed steel cased ammo into it.

I saw a buddy of mine shooting steel cased ammo through his precision bolt action. In quick order the cleaning rod had to come out multiple times after the rifle cooled down and was shot again. People just don't know.

If I am Troy Ind, I would make sure I spec this into my design, knowing what the intended market will most likely do.

I just read that the 300BLK has no fluted chamber, hopefully the .308 is the same... I wonder why they would have one cal a fluted chamber and not others..?
