I can's seem to find much info on the new Imperial Defense Ar's listed on Frontiers webpage as "coming soon"

A quick Google search found Imperial Defense ...but they don't state which of their items they've 'procured from outside sources' or made themselves.

Anyone know when these babies are coming in? Or what to expect?

Well Done Frontier!!!
 
If they are assembled in UK, where are the parts coming from?
And what are the specs?

Aren't they imported by North Sylva?

Why even bother talking about them if they will be $1600+
Just about everything else is cheaper....Stag, Armalite, RRA, Bushmaster...

Is it because you can get a shorter barrel???

Actually once the reality of the higher $US starts affecting the new imports from the US, the US made stuff will be about the same price. Also you are going to get a collapsable stock, bayonet lug and short barrel stock so no need to pay for upgrades. They look like a bargain to me.
 
For that very reason we have with held the price until they are in. We have a very limited order that will not last long. This is not an exclusive import for us. We are one of many dealers who will be handling this product. However I would advise anyone interested, the 10.5" models will not last long. If you can find one thru your local dealer, jump on it like a liberal jumps on tax payers money.
 
Yeah, but you can find allot of info on the Sabre Defence AR's such as the fact that the uppers and lowers are matched at the factory in the UK to get a better fit over milspec. U.S. stuff, so you should expect a higher price because of obvious QC improvements..Personally I'd spend a couple hundred more on a quality UK built (anything) over a generic poorly fit (anything) with the same purpose...the exact reason I can't see the value in Cheap Walmart crap.
 
WICKED ! thanks to frontier for bringing these in .. will have to wait to see the prices though. i am interested in the 10.5.
like redleg said . you can get the american stuff if you like the way we are getting them here. long barrels fixed stocks. . i myself would love to have a short barrel and tele stock and threaded not fixed flash hinders.

please keep us posted on when these are coming in.. what sorta time frame we looking at ? and do you plan on these being less $ than the sabres ?

people stop doing currency conversions.... your forgetting taxes,duties,shipping fees, plus sellers fee.

lol finding a 900 dollar AR is like finding a p7m8 brand new for 500 bux GOOD LUCK. stop dreaming ,

and dont kid yourself.. british sterling may be down right now , but ive been dealing with the UK for a long time ..plan on it getting back up closer to 2bux to a cdn dollar. just a couple years ago it was at 2.50 - 1cdn dollar. im not saying those days are coming back anytime soon.
