How about Canadian made AR uppers?

[suprathepeg]

So would there be a market for AR barreled uppers or just the uppers alone in Canada?

I would say both. If someone would step up with the manufacturing capability there is a market for both. Armseast and Alberta Tactical should be a decent source of barrels soon, all we would need is a source of just the uppers. Doesn't Dlask make uppers already?

I thought Armseast was actually making the uppers as well or at least putting their barrels into Stag Uppers.

Both would be great. Although Walter is doing them, it is always good to have competition and variety.

Dlask does Uppers and Barrels, Armseast is going to (I'm assuming) use Stag uppers (if you've got top quality why not use it) with 'in country' barrels. ATR is looking at barrels. Generally speaking, things are definitely looking up for us.

We're turning barrels presently. No plans to machine upper receivers, neither necessary nor viable, IMO.

But you will be putting the barrels into Stag uppers is that correct? And in another thread you said they will be ready the first week of May. That is now so are they ready? Cause I have money in hand.

+1 to what Walter said, we've looked at it as a possible option once the DoS turns off the tap, but in the meantime it's hard to beat what Colt/Stag, etc can meet for a price point.

Anyone who comes up with a hammer forged barrel will take my cash!

I'll be needing a 10.5" Canadian made upper to install on my ATR lower

I need a 14.5" Canadian made upper to install on my ATR upper.

 

[Rotorwing_Savior]

I need a 6.5 Grendel barrel to install on my VLTOR MUR. Somebody help me.

Wow why don't you ask for the world too. I think the Canadian market is too small to justify using that technology.

+1.

My upcoming Retro C7 build needs the perfect barrel.

 

[ian_in_vic]

Well, the Norc M4 has a hammer forged barrel (per ArmsEast) but I assume you're looking for a better hammer forged barrel.

Cold hammer forged blanks are available. Noveske, LWRC and KAC don't hammer forged their own barrels either.

Don't forget Centurion Arms.

probably Chinese CHF - hey, they use the same Austrian machine........

and you cannot hammer forge crappy metal actually.

We can supply blanks from a South American plant if anyone wants to make barrels. Forged on a GFM machine.
