Are you disillusionised when shopping for a black rifle?

I can think of a few Korean War veterans who would disagree.

First of all it is the US and the USSR that divided Korea into two. Three days after the Korean war started in 25th June 1950, the US sent the 7th Fleet to Taiwan thus getting directly involved in the Chinese civil war.

The PRC told the US through the Indian ambassador that if non-Korean troops crossed the 38th parallel they would intervene, and they did.

Going back to topic here. Unless, Canada bring back conscription and has a hundred thousand men infantry force, there is no way a Canadian made or designed service rifle could be made. The Swiss and Israeli have their own design because they actually have the requirement of hundred of thousands of rifles.

Rivy i see your point! but a used bushmaster with 3 to 4 thousand rds through it will last longer than a norinco ever will!

I know a guy who bought one, great rifle for the money, but he is already replaced so many things on it that were already wearing out.

For me it really comes down to not wanting our small arms being made in China, who are only interested in ruling us one day. Sorry not for me!

:ar15: to be bought in North America & Europe only!

A bushmaster? No

A Colt? Yes

I wouldn't trust a bushmaster any more than a Norinco...they are not the quality end of the american manufacturing pyramid by any stretch.

this is gonna be outta the blue but as Canadaians we like to shoot just the way it is. Also Canadians despite the whole world view of us being tree hugging living in igloo type people(although for some in the hardest hit winter areas may it may be an idea creeping in). My point is that some of the greatest fighter pilots of ww2 and ww1 were Canadian so were our cobat soldiers in ww1 and im not sure but ive heard an old saying "Give a Canadian a bottle of whiskey and he'll be in Berlin in an hour". We also had a great military leader in Rick Hillier who i had the pleasure of meeting once through my job. My point is that for some reason and some dont want to believe it but we have an inherient ability to fight wars(who can remeber the war of 1812 where we beat the yankees and im not sure but we may have even burnt the white house to. Something no other nation has ever done).I beleive that we should use it to our advanatge take the lessons learned and produce a battle/assult rifle capable of being used in any theater and one that could entice our forgien allies into purchasing this rifle in bulk numbers for there own militaries.If we did that not only would it inspire our Canadian brothers and sisters itll show that you can never count out a country filled with vast spaces and full of hunters. We dont need a huge army like the yanks or the peoples republic our nation is the army. This is something that i have learned from ironically enough the Taliban they are not by any defintion a convetional army they are imbeded in the general population. Thats besides the point though the main point is that it is possible but it takes risk something that unfortunately the people/investors/people with manufacturing businesses realize but being the true Canadians they are understand and choose to play it safe. If i was the owner of a company i would definately take a stab at it. But in order to maximize the chances would have to be offered internationally. This is just my long opinion though i could go on forever but i figure you wanna go shoot something by this point. Sorry about my weird speeling mistakes

Hello, I am relatively new to the CGN forum. I am wondering if a side charging AR receiver, like this one, would be classified as restricted?http://www.americanspiritarms.com/products/ASA_AR_15_M4_Side_Charger_Upper_Receiver-38-4.html
I'm pretty sure the answer will be yes but any help would be appreciated.

We live in a consumeable wares society, we have been for 40+ years. Most people do not know what to do with quality made products, we simply don't understand them, we forgot. People have been conditioned to use and throw away stuff, so we can't deal with something that lasts or costs more for that reason. We look to the next latest and greatest thing to pop up in the market place, so that we can replace our 'old, used up, last years thing'. People will buy the same low quality thing every 6 months rather than spend a bit more the first time for something that will last. Rifles are no exeption to that idea. 'You' can scream quality and longevity till you're blue in the face, and you will only be heard and understood by very few. That is the main reason why companies stop production here and move to Asia (no offence meant, they do try) or worse yet just simply shut down. Mass production will never yeld high quality items, but big companies answer to investors not the consumer.
Having said that, I have access to some high end CNC equipment, any one want to send me some ideas for the new latest and greatest black rifle....must be non-res..:)
 
A 'homemade' gun for yourself, yes. But don't even consider making anything to sell. That is a WHOLE 'nother ballgame.
 
Not worth building one of anything...I'd build for people, I'm not that selfish to do a one off and then brag about it. Besides, I'm no expert but wouldn't the paperwork required for something like that be the same as multiple builds. Anyway I'm just being wishfull, like the man said ability is not capability, and still no buyers anyway.
 
I'm in the same boat. I've been kicking a design around in my head for a while, but it ain't worth doing unless I had some serious time on my hands.
 
Gotta put it to CAD and tweak it for a while. I'm a year out with the amount of time I've been devoting to it.

Basically, I've been thinking of doing a roller delayed blowback on a rifle that will accept AR15 peripherals like LPK, magazine, stock, and furniture but vastly different, of course, in the action and how the receivers mate (think more of rails like a hand gun sliding together rather than pivot pins).
