British Special Forces 3rd Gen Integrated Upper Receiver’s from Colt Canada

Could someone here please confirm if the dust cover on these uppers are loose enough that would pop-open when closed even with a slight tap on the upper, it would open up with or without BCG inserted. I'm not sure if this is common on these and I'm thinking it could be a weak detent spring of the dust cover.

I just checked ... my 10.5" dust cover is just as 'tight' as on my Danish upper and my SP 1.

Thanks for checking. Actually the issue is on a 15.7 upper. All stock pics of it I have seen online have an opened dust cover.

Dust cover should not pop open unless the bolt carrier moves and trips the cover.

Most likely, the cover is not "straight" and doesn't fit onto the ejection port perfectly- that causes it to pop open with any slight vibration because the detent is not completely engaged. This is the most common cause.

The easy fix is to drift it out, bend it with you finger until it works. If you don't want to drift out the roll pin, try to bend it attached.

Or switch it to a plastic one. yes, that's why HK416 uses plastic.
 
I cracked.

Here's my logical conclusion:

1. I remember in the not to distant past you couldn't even get Colt Canada (Diemaco) branded products. Or had to spend big $$ for the rare one that went to civi market.

2. I'm buying what basically amounts to the closest you can get to a British Service Rifle (L119A1). Try buying an SA80. You can't. These uppers are for the SAS, Para Regiment and other Special Forces of the British Military.

3. With the 10% off here at Nordic, it's the best deal on this upper.

4. Comes with CC charging handle and CC BCG.

5. Free Shipping (I hope is still on as of this writing).

6. No PST as I'm in BC. ;)

7. This upper is badass. I ordered the 10.5".

8. Good enough for the SAS, good enough for me. BTW, did I mention this upper is badass? :cool:
 
The last shipment of SAS Uppers just arrived late yesterday afternoon.
Pre-orders will be packed and ship out Monday.

We still have a few of each, both 10.5 and 15.7 up for grabs. Click on the photo below to go to

Very nice. I just picked up mine today.
I'm opting on copying the SAS trial rifle.


I resisted buying one of these retail as I had built a Danish 15.7 IUR at a great price but I found it too nose heavy. I waited for one to come up on the EE but I still haven't seen one for good reason. This SAS rifle is by far my most favourite gun I've owned. Unless Colt comes out with a 40 watt plasma edition I will never sell this one. Nordic has the best prices on these, trust me... you won't regret it.

Post some photos when you get it together.

We got some pieces in from Smith Enterprises today so I couldn't resist getting that vortex flash hider from them mounted tonight.
We have a whole slew of goodies in the works with Smith ENT including complete rifles.

Plus they have awesome stickers :)

After manipulating it through the day your hand will be bleeding and it will be caught in the webbing more than once.

LOL thanks I got man hands I should be good calus are a sign of tough durable man hands. I have shooting gloves I can wear though. I got them after the 3rd blood blister from Beretta 92 pinch lol.

I ordered a 10.5 and it had the bcg and charging handle but there wasn't any cc marks on the charging handle. Maybe my eyes are lacking lol
 
Thank you. All I needed, wasn't sure if I really was having eye problems.

Can't wait to get this little beast built and run it indoors at my range in low light with police flashers on.

Don't worry about the naysayers Keep6, have fun shooting that rifle. If you don't care for the charging handle latch, just change it out for one you do like. Easily done. These 10.5" uppers are great fun, enjoy.

Oh forgot to mention the latch has a tendency to break.

I'll have tons of fun or tons of spent brass :) naysayers usually are downers due to lack of budget or jealousy in my experience but I feel to each their own..

As for the latch breaking I'll cross that bridge if it happens and swap it out.

Wish I was allowed to dump the one on the c8 for a bcm gunfighter mod 4.

Don't worry if you run your gun hard it won't take long for that bridge to get there.
 
We shall see I suppose. Charging handle isn't a big deal to me...thanks for a heads up though I'll be sure to do a round count and see;)

I'll have my fun in the meantime and the quality of these feels and looks impeccable to me and I was only after a suitable trainer;)
 
I've had at least half a dozen Colt ARs and this SAS upper has made this the best AR yet. I won't sell it unless Colt comes out with a complete green 10.5" IUR rifle.

Oh you'll find the overall quality of the rifle to be absolutely superb. Ch. Not so much. Rest of the gun. I can safely bet you will probably pass that down to your grandchildren.
