Desert Tech MDR Pre-sale

[Paladin308]

There are no brakes on the hype train. I want this rifle so bad.

 

[ShawnC6]

you forgot to add the 1000$ Non restricted tax....

Damn this isn't going to be cheap.

Wonder if we will have a MDR or X95 first in Canada

The modern hunter like the AR-15 is a modular design with a removable upper and a lower. Selling restricted uppers becomes an issue as the question of "whats stopping them from putting a Short barrel upper on a registered NR lower?" Why muddy the waters when the ATRS has a unique niche. Basically an AR-15 that is Non restricted with a huge NR price point as well. A $4k ATRS restricted Modern Hunter or Varmint will be competing directly against the highest priced AR-15's...and loose, spectacularly.

Its a massive cash cow for ATRS and they have no intention of bringing their guns anywhere near "restricted" name tag.

With that being said, i predict 2019 for this beauty of a bullpup to be NR in Canada.

It doesn't muddy the water. Just like the xcr and acr and swiss arms and ar180b guns have both restricted and non restricted versions in country. All have upper and lower receivers that seperate just like the ar15.

It's a non issue being made an issue.

Bring a restricted in, get it classified and then go get a non restricted barrel made. Easy enough to add an extra line to the existing frt to show one barrel length as restricted and one as non restricted.

The action not being capable of being made full auto is what takes time at the lab. Not measuring the barrel length.

That's the problem with the RPD. The RCMP don't have a full auto version to compare it to. When you have a purpose built semi-auto that doesn't have a full auto cousin it gets a FRT faster.

Source for the info that the lack of a full auto rpd is the source of the delay for the lab? Assumption or sourced?

Say what?
Lever Arms K-12 Puma.
Non-R, as mspben said.

Oh Damn....I thought it was your old '95, I remember that you were one of the few that got a few rounds out of one before the hammer came down...

I didn't look close enough to the barrel but the trigger guard looks like your old '95, not to mention the words "Lever Arms" stamped on the receiver...

 

[tootall]

Ah, I see...
Not actually mine, it was also brought in by Lever.
That one was Kin Chung's own one that was borrowed for the day.

Man, a lotta .308 stuff on the horizon. It's like they are all colluding to temp and bankrupt me.

So frustrating when it's a "shut up and take my money" situation, but nothing can be done to expedite the process. If it ends up being three or more years, there will be a lot of innovation by other manufacturers made in that time.

They could buy one.
