LWRC SABR rifle pics

Nice backpedal, I got a kick out of the attempted insults too. That's class and maturity right there. :)

48th Highlander Texas,

First of all if you go back to page 3 I mentioned what I believed were the pros/cons of the rails. Yes I included ventilation as a pro. I take a fairly methodical approach when I research and buy firearms. Pros/cons of each including price. Please don't dismiss me as a joke because other people twisted what I have said. Especially considering I am definately a possible future purchaser of this product.

Another mistake. I didn't bother responding the first time I noticed it, however you've carried it on so it's becomming internet gospel when it's incorrect. I was referring to the FN P90, not the Swiss Arms/SIG PE-90, which would make a crap entry weapon. So please don't laugh at my thoughts on that when you guys have mistaken which firearm I mentioned. I also mentioned the round which wasn't 5.56 or .223 so that should have tipped people off about which weapon I was referring to.

I just bought a PE-90 Swiss Arms Black Target. By the time these LWRC rifles come out I will easily be able to afford one if I want one. That's not an issue. It's not a matter of one or the other. That being said if the new product doesn't offer significantly more then I won't add to the collection.

Has a good point. If this firearm is restricted, which is a possibility considering how retarded our firearms laws are. Then a lot of the advantages just went down the toilet. Don't trash him for that. It's a very legitimate concern and was worth mentioning. Hopefully it won't be classified as that, and there does seem to be a very real hope that it will be non-restricted. :D

Now back on topic.

I love the left side placement of the cocking handle. The piston system is good for reliability. I do agree with that. Originally I thought maybe it was a liability then I realized I was mistaken. If it's not restricted then excellent. Good choice on the stock, I like it. Overall a lot of positive things. However...

Rails on this type of rifle. Not for me. On a shorty 9mm or .223 yup. I like them. I've already listed my thoughts on that. It comes down to personal preference and my uses for this type of rifle.

The real holly grail and deal maker for me is accuracy. I'm not going into Afghanistan and the range isn't a very harsh environment so accuracy is king for me with quality, reliability and price being close behind.

Of course I appreciate any new product available to the public and am interested in it. However I'm not a fan boy like Ardent. I always make the best business decision based on the information available. If the LWRC rifle meets my criteria, I'll buy one. If not I'm happy with what I have. By the way I think you should send Ardent the "official" LWRC knee pads for his die hard loyalty. :D

Does this use an AR style buffer, or is the tube just for stock compatibility? Are the barrels proprietary or are they the same as the used in 308 AR's?
 
I would be really hard pressed to lay off this. I'm thinking both the variants have tickled my fancy! The saving has commenced. Thank goodness for the dollar right now. Hopefully it holds strong until the introduction.
 
You get this up here and I'll move heaven and earth to get a set (Lower and Sniper/Assaulter uppers) into my safe.:)

'48, you deserve a round of thanks. I'm gonna mention this to my bosses and see what they say.

A non-restricted "black" 308 is the holy grail for a lot of guys, I hope it works out!

You can say that again! If they come in NON-RESTRICTED I WILL (And that's a guarentee) be buying 2. One .308 and one .223. :D

So now I suppose I'm waiting for either a Tavor, XCR, or the Teleportation device (if it's non-res). I'm having a hard time trying to decide between one of these rifles. I might just take the first one to actually make it to Canada.

Yup, that's where I'm at! (Except I'm not really interested in a Tavor.)

It makes me giggle like a schoolgirl whenever I picture myself pumping 7.62 with a 12.5" right next to these anal people who are too "senstive to noise and blast" at a GUN RANGE.

Can these things come with factory installed Vortex Suppressor and matching color Troy front and rear sights? Factory Dark Earth finish will be awesome with matching color CTR.

+1 to all that... And make sure the gas system is rigid enough to handle 180 gr loads...

Again, LRIP short stroke piston operated rifles. Hopefully we can export some to Canada by Feb. Hopefully unrestricted.

These are the military version, the export/target/civvie versions will vary and have different nomenclature.

Get me one of these with a 471+ mm barrel and I'll be the happiest Gunnut on my block.

I am doing this because I am Canadian. Not because I think it will be a home run money making venture in Canada.

I love you, man. Now take my wallet and send me a rifle! Credit be damned, these things are too damned ###y to not buy

I didn't mean to be harsh, but I want a fair evaluation, and with the public making comments such as this I am not sure that will be possible.

So comment what you will on the rifles themselves, but leave the analysis for the RCMP.

Speaking of analysis by the RCMP, do you think you could make a pistol version of these commonly available for sale in Canada? :runaway: :stirthepot2: If ya know what I mean! :D
 
Hide all the pics of your rifle...
..make a bunch in plain dull grey/gray..
..take off all the tacti-kool stuff...
...make a 5 round only mag....
and a fixed stock.

THEN and only then..give it to the RCMP for Classification

Amen! Although, then we have to hope the RCMP are idiots and can't imagine what these things will look like all dressed up again.:D
 
I just went through the whole thread again and I didn't notice if an importer was mentioned. Does anyone know? I want to get my deposit in so I can get this rifle as soon as possible. Provided it's Non-Res.

It is not an AR10. Nothing else fits on it. Completely different operating system. Yes, I have help up there, but I will leave it to the involved party to out himself if he so sees fit.

Come out, come out, whoever you are. I want to put down my deposit.

All right. all right! We're bringing them in.

There will be no deposits taken until it's time. What needs to be done is ongoing with the powers that be.

Please continue the discussion... (!)

FWIW: The Insurgent to Virgin Teleport attachment is only for US Domestic and GOV end use. The general export version is limited to sporting use only.
