LWRC SABR rifle pics

[Satain]

The LWRC forums are talking about a $3500 price tag. If this gun is non-res then I think regular guys will still buy it. If it's restricted then I think only the rich guys will buy it. I mean why buy a restricted rifle like this for $3500 when you can get an AR for $1500. If I can use the LWRC for hunting, plinking in the woods, gofer shoots, tactical rifle courses, shooting pumpkins and milk cartons filled with frozen water, then it would be worth $3500 to me. If not, it's just another range only firearm, and there are lots of others that will fit that bill.

I agree. But $3500 was for the counter sniper version or there 223 version? I would only buck up for the counter sniper. The other varients I would wait tell ammo prices come down or Norinco ships there version.

I believe the $3500 was for the SABR (sniper version). It has the uber cool UBR stock. The SABR is the one I want. The insurgent teleportation device is pretty cool though.

That about covers it.

If it is non restricted I buy one without hesitation maybe 2. Restricted I don't even consider it.

 

[RevolverRodger]

+1 to what he said

 

[sogetthis]

I'd buy one no matter it's classification, as long as it's priced a lot less than the HK417.

 

[mquality]

ya non restricted = excellent hunting rifle i would be in if under or around 2500!!!!

 

[mrsmitty]

If non res I would pay up to 4k for it. Restricted if it were 1k I would buy it but only an uber short version of it.

 

[Mercury0_0]

Hey Mrs. Mitty, that's quite the price range you're lookin' at there.

 

[mrsmitty]

its not mrs. mitty its Mr. Smitty
Well its the truth I won't likely buy it if its restricted.

 

[Mercury0_0]

its not mrs. mitty its Mr. Smitty

I know, I was just razzing you.

$3500 for the SABR counter-sniper version sounds good to me.

Compare it to the AR-10 super SASS which is a $3300 rifle.

Add a short stroke piston to the super-SASS and thats more or less the SABR (and still way cheaper then the HK417 civilian model, if it ever comes out).

Super-SASS:

$3500 for a fully done up and kitted out rifle is not out of line. I try not to think about how much picatinny coolness I've bolted onto my ARs. it adds up in a big hurry. This thing includes a FF rail and Magpul PRS stock, MIAD and Troy flip sights from the look of it. That adds up to somewhere north of $600 or so. If it is deemed to be a "New design" and not a derivative or modification of the AR15 and therefore non-restricted... I might spooge on my way to get my credit card

 

[Satain]

Stop it!


I am going nutz over this rifle!

It's like the sun shining after a rainy day
Maybe one day we will get to play with this awsome piece of technology...
Maybe!?!
Please...

 

[TheHolyLancer]

yeah but the res/non-res issue is the line here, not that i could muster that much money but...

 

[teenahlake]

So, is it restricted or non restricted? enquiring minds want to know

 

[mr_trout]

It is just an AR-10 with a short stroke gas piston. There is no way the SABR could come in non-restricted.

There's more too it than that, apparently.

It is just an AR-10 with a short stroke gas piston. There is no way the SABR could come in non-restricted.

Its NOT an AR-10.

It doesn't use a single AR15 or AR10 part. Its been designed and engineered from the ground, although it 'appears' to look similar to an AR-10, mechanically its completely different.

Just like the Sig Classic Green/Black special compared to the Sig 550.

They appear the same, but are mechanically different, Hence the B-S and C-G (as well as the other full length ones) are non-restricted

Well I hope the SABR will be able to be exported - but I would not hold my breath.
