Maccabee Defense SLR information and updates

I'd have to see the way the upper and lower interface to definitively comment. My initial thinking was it's just a stop pin to block the upper from sliding forward. If so, my idea was a lever actuated pin. Lever sits flush with the front of the mag well when locked. I don't know the actual mating system though. Just thinking out loud.

That being said, this is the initial introduction of the rifle. They built it simple to get a classification. In that case, a simple bolt works. Who knows, maybe needing to tools to disassemble appease the clowns at the RCMP. Down the road, they might change it. I'll reserve major judgement when I see the rifle.

I like your idea of a lever actuated pin or something similar that would have the same end result while eliminating the need for any tools for disassembly.

I'd rather they don't wait until "down the road" to get it right. I'd prefer they take a little extra time initially to listen to constructive criticism and feedback from people like us, the consumer.

What ####### would have reported it? The video was unlisted so it would have been someone on here.

that's a bit of a leap. the video could have been posted elsewhere, like ### or an FB group. If it was someone from here, I'd assume it is someone that has something to loose with a new, NR, black rifle coming out...

Face it if you think $1000 is too much you are A-Cheap or B-Broke.

I’m neither, so you may want to consider there exists an option ‘C’ or ‘D’. Lots have been around long enough to have shot gophers or coyotes in the patch with their ARs and AKs. And there is still a decent assortment of rifles out there that remain non-restricted.

Not sure what magic land you think these types of things come from. Shops cost lots of money to heat, Cnc equipment requires lots of electricty, inserts for tooling cost money, fixtures are time involved (read expensive) to build, journeymen machinists get payed substantially more than mexican or chinese factory workers, even used cnc equipment is in the tens of thousands of dollars, new ones cost more than houses in many parts of the country.

No one with half a brain will believe that all of the equipment, shop, training, etc. Spools up out of vapour for this one endeavour.

I look at it another way man. If I want a fun run n gun paper shooting rifle.... there's options that are quite affordable. We can't compare this offering to tavors and other rifles because they are proven in the field and marketplace.
I want a rifle like this purely for hunting purposes so I have to weigh that in to the whole thing. I'm having a bolt gun built right now for a specific hunting application that will easily surpass 2grand and will be 3 grand once an optic is chosen so it's not about being cheap or broke. I don't buy the cost to heat shops and pay employees and buy machines and all that jazz all rides on the pricing of this one reciever set.... that is fantasy thinking. I run my own shop, pay the bills to run it and offer custom products at fair but profittable prices. I'm busy and I don't even need to advertise on instagram LOL I know exactly what it means to run the margins on cost vs wholesale/retail ect ect.
Anyhow, I'm all for supporting the canadian firearms market and hope this one meets all your hopes and expectations. It "is" a pretty cool thing.
 
Pre-order in. Just hope they deliver these in time before the Libs potentially introduce some kind of restrictions on semis.

I put it on g o c, It's a bit of a leap to blame us over there for it too. Everyone is pumped for it.

Would you rather it had 2 pins instead?

When I first got it, I was using an AR15 lower that attached with the standard pins, so it only took 6 seconds to attach so it was slightly more conveinient :)

I would take pins over bolts, but bolts over restricted. Bolt isn't a deal breaker at all for me. :)
