Modern Sporter Update April 5th 2018
- Thread starter alberta tactical rifle
- Start date
He can't really give a solid time estimate because it's all in the horse police hands.
He does, however, unlike the SLR crew, have production experience and it's a design he's been manufacturing for a while, so I'm guessing his turnaround from the time he gets the FRT to the first finished receiver sets won't be that long at all.
I sure hope he’s first out of the gate
I think he may just be 1st out. Saw the production unit at their shop. Really well made and finished.
Rumor has it they may be taking one on the road to some of the ranges in the very near future.
Like the modern varmint it only uses a front takedown pin. If that's what you're asking.

You can put whatever safety in our STRIPPED lower, that you wish to. ANYTHING AR 15 will fit this lower and upper.
I'm sure for an extra 500 USD, ATRS will "provide" you with one. When I get my Modern Sporter, I'm getting one. I'm also going to chamber is in 8mm kurz , because that's a better round than 7.62x39. Cheaper too.
Damn this receiver looks like its the tits! Closest NR copy to mill-spec AR receiver thus far. All we need is a forward assist and it would be perfect, but I guess that would require a fair bit of extra material
Are we expecting the RCMP to delay another 120 days on classifying this beauty?

Thanks to Rick for allowing me the pleasure of field testing a Modern Sporter this weekend!!
Functioned flawlessly and is extremely well machined. The ingenuity of this upper and lower is simple and brilliant. They claimed all AR parts will fit and it is true. The unit I got to use has a mil trigger which I would replace with something better and very basic furniture, but as they are selling these as stripped uppers and lowers, the end user can put in whatever they choose.
Great work guys!!
And thanks again.

Any more thought go into making some uppers with forward assist? I know it's not needed AND it will cost more BUT I'm willing. I'm sure there are others out there that would also buy it
IF enough demand is there we may make a run with the forward assist, but the pricing will be increased as to make uppers with the forward assist requires not only larger bar stock but 2 more stages in machine work. Both have costs.
Once we are getting closer to the end of the machining on the lowers we will be reaching out to everyone to see what the numbers dictate.
