At 3-400 I would buy but not at 1000.00 way to much. Heck the ATRS is cheaper and of known better quality.

Atrs is $25 cheaper, hardly worth talking about. And i believe atrs is the sole source meaning they receive 100% of the profit. MDI has dealers which means they are splitting profit. So who is really over priced??
 
Slam them all you want, but my impression is that Wyatt has been pretty dam good about trying to answer questions and concerns as I have followed him on social media. I have been super impressed with a number of the things they have done and continue to do. Let's try and remember this is a small new company. Does it sux when you get something that doesn't work as you wanted.....sometimes there is a real problem and sometimes it's just our unrealistic expectations. Look at how slow the role put has been for the new ruger pcc, which is a "slightly" larger company than mdi. They also have seemed to fix the real issues people have found, and not taken months and months to resolve them.

For the most part the vendors like TNA, and RDSC have also been very good in how they have helped handle things and mediated between the end users and MDI as well. Why dont we sit back and hope they succeed and be happy if/when they do that we have a company offering us a sporting rifle that uses "men's lego" parts to build.

I don't get this. What does dealer pricing have to do with end consumer prices and the value they see in a product?

For example. If the slr receiver set costs $500 to make and retail is $1000, that means MDI and their dealers are sharing the $500 margin. Atrs receiver set is also retailing for $1000 and atrs is not sharing the profit. So if MDI is too expensive then what does that make atrs?
 
They cost the same and atrs is not the sole retailer of the ms. Rdsc will be selling the ms as atrs stated a few months ago. But enough talking about other vendors in tna's forum.
 
That depends on the consumer, dealer pricing/profit margins don't factor into it. If the customer thinks the product is worth at least the selling price they will buy it.

Not that it's relevant, but I also remember reading that ATRS was looking to sell to other dealers, I don't recall what came of it.

While some people act like children waiting for ice cream, I'm patiently waiting while the kids beta test the rifle and work out all the bugs for me!

Don't worry, I already did the beta testing. I had a early anodized set. First anodized set I got was missing the charging handle latch, the vendor exchanged it promptly. The 2nd set I got the magazine well was more generous, but the upper was machined such that some magazines wouldn't seat. Wyatt did take care of it promptly. I even sent him 10 different magazines to try with it. Mac Def has been good about fixing all the issues with their products. The stuff they are making now is much better than what us 'early' got. In my opinion it is still a #### design, but at least now parts & magazines will fit.

You dont have to wait.....its all already happening just take a look at the badger thread.

Us Canadian sure love to hate on ourselves. Thinking of that anyone see the Deadpool - Nickleback trailer?
 
I spoke with MD yesterday on FB apparently the phase two orders are being machined as we speak I couldn't get an answer as to how many orders have been filled though.
 
If anyone is interested I have an SLR thats complete minus the BCG, trigger and charging handle.

20" 1/7 True north arms barrel with a 17" Mlok rail with a Vortex crossfire red dot and everything else is basic AR15 parts

PM me if you want it
 
I stumbled across, an slr receiver at the stony plain gun show. Canceled my wk180 shortly after I picked it up. Mines an early 400 serial number. I transferred all parts minus the trigger from a Colt match Hbar. No issues with fitment. I did have to leave the trigger box screw out to keep the safety from being excessively tight. Hopefully going to shoot it at the range this weekend.
 
^^^ that looks sweet.

After being extremely dissatisfied with my early serial numbered SLR receiver set I will say that I'm glad to see that some of the issues seem to be getting ironed out and these things are going together better for people.

Hope you enjoy your new rifle Carter

I had the same issue with the safety being really stiff, but I just polished the drum of safety selector a little bit, and clipped about 2mm off the detent spring. That made it exactly the amount of resistance I wanted.
