After some meetings and consultations with an interested firearms manufacturer in Canada, it looks like the billet aluminum lowers for the AR180B upper will be made available to Canadian firearms owners. Depending on the other product line priorities we are looking at the first quarter of 2008.
This is the early stages of the process so no pictures of what the final product will be but my vision is a lower that looks very much like an AR15. So all you guys wanting a non-restricted AR type rifle should be happy. Capture pins, AR15 grips, CAR type stocks, etc. I'd hope to keep the price on par with an assembled AR15 lower, but most likely a bit more due to the custom nature of the product.
The final production versions will only be made available after extensive testing and evaluation. The company I'm working with on this will not sell an inferior product and strives for precision in their product and quality assurance. The company will be revealed at a later date when we have more specific plans.
As we still need to see if the market interest even warrants going ahead with this I have a job for you guys. Any one that is seriously interested in a billet lower that fits the AR180B upper, needs to send me an e-mail to brycevolk@sasktel.net and let me know your name. Please DO NOT send PM's to the Armedsask username. There is no obligation in this e-mail, it is just to gauge market interest.
If I have my way this will lead to a complete Canadian made non-restricted black rifle.
