Pardon my ignorance...

Would it be possible, or is it even in the cards for ATRS to build a bolt action upper that fits into the MS lower? I know these platforms exist (AR15 fitment) and assume these being non-semi autos, clear of any sort of prohibited status?

Asking for a friend
 
When all semi auto are reclassified it will be the lower receiver that will be classified as prohibited, a bolt action upper wouldn't help.
 
I recall hearing somewhere that ATRS has built bolt action AR-15 uppers (or complete rifles?) and exported them to one of those cuck countries (probably UK) so they already have experience with this.

Problem we'll face here when putting a bolt action upper on the MS lower is legalities. According to thee almighty Mr. Smith the Modern Sporter lower (underlying firearm, as he calls it) is a semi auto centerfire capable receiver no matter how you configure the upper. Not that I care what he thinks anyways.

EDIT: never mind I thought you were talking about the current classification system. Didn't realize you were referring to the semi auto ban BS. In that case all I can say is good luck with that.

It would probably be like putting a bolt action upper on an AR. It’s still restricted as the lower is the firearm. They would pretty much have to make an entirely new upper and lower combo and make it bolt action. Then go through the whole process of having it approved by the horsemen.

Dlask did this 15 years ago. I remember seeing it in his safe. Said something about not being able to get it by the RCMP as a bolt action.

There is another company working on a complete bolt action receiver set. I might pick one up but admittedly I'm not overly interested, semi auto ban or not.

I foresee the possibility of extraction issues due to the AR bolt and carrier lacking primary extraction. The first stuck case and broken bolt handle will be all it takes to bring out the pitchforks and torches mob.

Yes, S.p.e.c.t.r.e Ballistics is waiting on FRT status of their bolt action receiver set that takes all AR parts minus the bolt (naturally). I think it's called the Light Practical Carbine.

Okay then why not run with this? New upper and lower configuration that all the AR parts everyone will have laying around could plug into?
 
Who in the fuc wants a bolt action AR??

You guys have already thrown in the towel FFS.

Pussies.

Just slow down a little here. I know all this ban BS has everyone's knickers all knotted up but there's still no sense in putting the cart before the horse.

For the time being let them spend 100% of their efforts building and putting this vaporware they call the Sporter in the hands of as many people as possible.

When (if) the s#!t flys south they can then focus on plan B.
 
Shouldn't be too hard. All you really need is a lower with the blocked off recoil tube so the plunger can't interface with the bolt carrier.

Aside from that I have converted my AR to bolt action when I was single loading extra long cartridges.

I needed to convert a charging handle to be able to push the bolt carrier forward on the return stroke and mounted the gas block backwards to block the gas port. Aside from that I've had no issues at all with extraction.
 
Why wouldn't you just buy a bolt gun and put it in a chassis. Or you can make your AR style upper and a barrel without the gas port and system and just cycle it one shot at a time like a bolt action. I seen someone do this with a SLR they set up for varmint hunting . But might as well just keep it a semi if your using the receivers . But hell if you want to do an actual bolt action upper try it out the more options on the market the better people always want to try something differnt . It cant hurt if you have the time and resources to do it give it a try.

The RCMP lab considers the lower receiver as the firearm and the upper receiver is not a control item, a bolt action upper on a prohibited receiver will be viewed as an veriant, perfect example of this is the SIG MCX, the MCX upper will work on an AR lower, but a regular AR upper will not work on the MCX but the lab still classified the SIG MCX as a AR veriant.

The only way to changed the classification is to modified the lower so it will no longer be able to function with a semi auto upper, similar to the Troy PAR where the buffer tube area is milled off so it can no longer accept a buffer tube, but at that point you might as well just buy a new bolt gun.
 
Ultimately you will never appease the gun grabbers - they want all firearms removed from civilian ownership and no compromises will be enough - the sooner you accept that the sooner it will all make sense.

Case in point, after banning semi autos in New Zealand the gun grabbers weren't happy that the same guns were being converted to pump action so they wouldn't have to be relinquished - they said such actions went "Against the spirit of the law"

With statements like that the end goal is clear.........
