Q1) Is an ambidextrous ejection port important to you when buying a firearm?
We want to ensure we have the features that most want, while keeping the cost as low as possible
Option 2: No, I would buy it anyways
Q2) Is an ambidextrous charging handle important?
Option 2: No, I would buy it anyways
Q3) Do you prefer side charging handles or an AR15 style charging handle?
Option 1: I prefer side charging handles (Left or Right side of the firearm)
Q4) Does "Take Down" matter? Do you care if you can separate the rifle easily to make it more compact?
We plan on developing a 1 second, tool-less twist lock release that separates the Barrel and hand guard together as one piece from the receiver Allowing super compact storage, and easy cleaning
Option 1: I prefer my firearms to have a "Take Down"
Q5) Does weight matter to you?
Of course we want to make everything as lightweight as possible, but we want to know how much it matters to you.
Option 2: I don't care how heavy it is!
Q6) Weight Savings - Would you pay slightly more to save more weight?
Option 1: Pay more for better lighter materials
Q7) What kind of barrel? We want to build the best rifle package at the most competitive price possible.
We feel that most companies uses cheap barrels. We want to use the best. If we can include a Carbon Fiber, SS barrel at NO ADDITIONAL COST to you, would you want that? Or prefer just regular steel, or SS?
Lifetime warranty on the barrel! and our Firearm!
Option 2: Slightly more expensive Stainless Steel - No Rust
Q8) What kind of forend / handguard?
Option 2: I only need a top and bottom rail
Q9) Do you care if firearms are made in Canada?
Option 1: Yes! I support Canadian Business - If price is fair
Q10) Price Point - What price do you think would be fair for an incredible Canadian made Non-Restricted firearm like this
Option 2: 1000-1300
Option 3: 1300-1600

First of all, I love that Canadian companies are taking on this challenge. We've got great skills here, and a fantastic shooting community.
If I can add my input, I would say: Make it simple and reliable, with good quality parts. Clever is no substitute for reliable. (I'm looking at you Kel Tec.) If take-down means parts that can wear or break, then no take down.
Rails top and bottom, or removable rail system.
I agree that it doesn't have to look like an AR, unless that makes machining/parts easier. If an AR-style lower means we can use drop-in trigger kits, then great.
I would say middle price range.

Ya it would be nice to have an update. Even a simple "we're still testing" or "it's at the lab" would sound great. Lately all I hear are crickets.......

Why you put mags in front of the grip? Put them inside like in handgun and save at least 4 inches in length. Also the bare mag will not stick out, but will sit protected inside the grip, which will reduce jams, mag losses, etc

Not sure if this has been brought up yet but the ability to run cast bullets would be a huge plus for me.
