Saw this and thought it looks cool. Possibly a new addition to the Canadian NR receiver market?

What are your thoughts?

MIX IT UP: Monarch Arms ARG3 Receiver Sets Up For Pre-Sale

To me, the H&K G3 20 round straight magazine is one of the ###iest ammunition feeding devices on the planet. I mean, peel back that brown anti-corrosion wrapping paper, wipe it down with a fine terry cloth sprayed with a hint of Hoppe’s, dress it up with some surplus battle rifle ammo and you’ve found your own little slice of heaven. What? Don’t tell me that certain stamped magazines don’t move you the same way. In an unlikely combination, Monarch Arms is offering a unique AR10 receiver set that accepts these hot G3 magazines.


With surplus G3 magazines available starting at $4-$5 I am willing to bet Monarch Arms will sell quite a few of these hybrid receiver sets. A company representative on Instagram stated that magazines will drop- free rather than a more traditional rock in/out paddle release seen on the G3 and HK91.


Pre-order pricing is set at $550 with delivery scheduled for sometime in October.

The receivers are:

How's the G3 mag supply in Canada? Legitimate question as I do not know the answer.

Regardless I like what I see. I'd be in for 1 if it ever makes NR status. Don't need anything else I can't take out my back door and shoot.
 
I have no idea why I would want to use G3 magazines, other than that it is cheap in the US.

I predict this will die quietly. People in the US who likes G3 will buy the parade of clones that are out there already.
 
Another option is always welcomed. If the mags are dirt cheap in the US we can get them imported & pinned for not much more.
The Stag10 still looks like the winner to me.
 
If there is no last round bolt hold open, you need to have a forward or side charging handle for operation IMO. The old pull back on the AR isn't exactly quick. That would be a deal breaker for me, despite how pretty they are.
 
OHHHHH that is sweet. I would do everything to try and make a HK91a1 or HK41 replica. Although that PSG1 does look great. More options the better.
