[blaxsun]

Yes, can someone please take a picture before a few folks have an aneurism?

That's pretty cool. Now if 308 wasn't so expensive I'd seriously consider one. Maybe they'll make a 556 version.

You can get bulk 308 for 50c/rd and .223 bulk right now is at cheapest 46c/rd so not a huge difference these days.

I haven't seen bulk 308 anywhere for less than $0.75 per round.

The norinco steel cased is .50c per round if you look around

 

[Sunchild2071]

I got the Norinco at $475/1000 in GP. The stores regular price is $535.

However, I feel that I may be interested in getting into reloading.

If you shoot enough it is worth it. It is still very difficult to reload for .50c/rd for .308 though. Bullet prices are the limiting factor. The great part is you can create very good quaity ammunition for the price. You can have premium quality ammunition for 75c-80c/rd though which is where you get massive savings.

Was in the store yesterday and got to fondle one. Much nicer than I expected! I found it balanced really well, the handgaurd filled the my hand perfectly and didn't feel like it weighed all that much. I'm in love! Got my order in, now hopefully they are done in time for me to take it moose hunting up north...

That's awesome to hear. 8.9 lbs is reasonable for an AR10 in a similar config with a 18.5" medium profile barrel and similar furniture. Take the POF 308 Edge SPR at 9.5lbs for example. Or other SR25 / HK417 stuff. If this thing shoots straight and chugs through ammo reliably, it's going to be such a win for the black rifle guys in Canada.

I'm in on the first batch of black ones, trying to not get my hopes too high but goddamn is it hard !

Great to hear. Interested in the rifle but I think I'll let other people fund the pre-orders and I'll wait for reviews before I put any cash down.

I weighed my work C8 the other day. 10lbs unloaded. This rifle with my scope and mount I have will be 10.9 unloaded. Not too bad.

I'm surprised that nobody from southern Ontario hasn't gone to pick there's up yet and done a bit of a review.

Agreed! If OD Green was there, I'd already have picked up my rifle! AND posted pics...

Will a Magpul Battery Assist Device fit on these rifles ??

https://www.wolverinesupplies.com/ProductDetail?LineUID=636374749933764864267

$480 for a case.

with shipping etc its more like 64 cents a round though

Link for cheap bulk ammo doesn't work for me and I can't find anything on their site for that price.

They're all out looking for XCR-M magazines...

Use this link.
https://www.wolverinesupplies.com/P..._Norinco-7-62x51--145-Grain-FMJ--1000rd-Crate - steel cased, .48 cents a round, surplus


Other choices, local for you:

https://www.reliablegun.com/en/barn...00rds-case-lacquered-steel-case-non-corrosive - steel cased, .77 cents a round before tax, non surplus
https://www.wanstallsonline.com/aguila-7-62x51mm-nato-308-win-150gr-bt-fmj-500-round-case.html - brass cased, .80 cents a round before tax, non surplus

Use Campro 147 gr and range brass.

My figuring is I am reloading for about 40 cents a pop. 4.8 cents for the primer, 10 for the powder, and just about 25 for the projectiles.

You end up with very consistent, brass cased, non steel-core, and non corrosive ammo - that doesn't make you flinch over the cost of pulling the trigger.
