Non-Restricted ACR Barrels...

The RCMP are probably just gona reclassify the ACR to restricted anyway along with many others this fall.. beware ..
 
Dum Dum? That's mature. It was determined in previous posts on the subject that the picture that was posted for the ACR ad was indeed the rifle ordered. It was a typo about the standard fore end in the ad. I believe Sask. Gun works "Canadian" version does have the quad rail. Also since I do not work at Questar and am not privy to their stock of merchandise, I am unaware if they ordered 4 enhanced, 4 basic or a combination of said ACR's, making your assumption that all 4 of them will have the collapsable stock and quad rail speculation at best. My point in my last statement was that the only for sure difference was the izzy break and the extra 2.2" on the SS barrel.

Just kdding on the dum dum, shoulda used a :p

My point was that the Canadian versions are very basic and still worth a pretty penny. BTW another forsure differance is also the folding stock, IIRC Questar was the only dealer that managed to get any of the enhanced versions.
 
RCMP cannot reclassify whatever they want. Remember the RCMP will probably be hit by huge budget cuts and the fat that will need to be cut includes the huge firearms bureaucracy...
 
Baiting us with a non-rest. ACR with no dates and price is mean.




Actually they'll ban all firearms this fall so PM me your addy and I'll take away all your firearm to avoid you the hassle.

Since Questar's ACR's aren't the watered down "Canadian" versions, expect to pay about, $4,200 or more. I believe the base rat versions still go for about $3,900.

It's a tough call, they're nice units forsure but at those prices a Swiss rifle with NEA lower may trump it. The guys that pre-ordered the SCAR's paid about $4,500. If that were me, at those prices it would've been way easier to justify a battle proven SCAR over the new unpredictable ACR...

Jus my 2cents

I hate to burst your bubble or confuse you with actual facts but let's set the record straight on a few things...

  • The FN SCAR's sold for $3,699.99 (plus tax) not $4,500 as you stated;
  • On the Questar Non-Restricted ACR's, I have no idea where you pulled that "$4,200 or more" guess from, it's simply laughable.
  • We're expecting the Basic ACR with our 18.7" non-restricted barrel to be @ $2,899.99 to $2,999.99 (plus tax and shipping)

Most of the guns available right now are FDE/Tan versions... finding Black has been next to impossible right now.

Also, current export permit won't allow export of folding or collapsable stocks so the BASIC/ORC versions are all that are exportable for us right now.

First of all, those were the figures dealers and the likes were throwing around when the ACR was first a thought, your staff included. However, I should have been more clear that the numbers I was using were "to your door" pricing. I always use "all in" numbers because thats the number that counts on the credit card statement. My applogies for not being more clear.

There are still dealers out there that are pricing the ACR at about $3900 all said and done, depending on where you live. Also that's just for the basic version, I was told you guys managed to get some with folders and rails, so it was logical to assume that they would've been a couple hundred more. I wasn't totally out to lunch, but it is nice to see that you have lowered your pricing to be better competitive.


As far as SCAR goes my apologies, depending on where you lived they came in around the 4000 range. I should've known not to trust the internet, my bad. :redface:

The "Canadian" ACR version is black with the fixed stock and aluminium tri-rail/hand guard, just to clarify. Price was $3,125 plus applicable taxes/etc.

I don't believe there's a flash hider on the ACR, but since the plan was to always strip the factory barrel to utilize Questar's 18.7" NR match one instead - I didn't really care one way or the other (incidentally, the NR barrel is reportedly much lighter than the factory).

Add the folding/collapsible stock and flash hider and I'm all set.

Thanks for clarifying that, ;)
 
Mark, what are the chances of obtaining the piston and quick-release assemblies for the ACR from Bushmaster; slim to none...?

Doubtful... from what I've been told by at least one US aftermarket barrel maker, Bushmaster has refused to sell them these parts and has even told them that the parts are proprietary and protected by patent so that the barrel company can't make their own "duplicates" without infringing on the patents.

This would (just my opinion) be Bushmaster's way of trying to assure the sale of their own accessories rather than encouraging support from 3rd party developers. It kind of defeats the whole attraction that makes the AR platform so successful... but I think this will backfire on them.

For the moment anyway, the piston parts and locking lever are not available that we know of.

ACR Documentation

I have been waiting for the day to arrive for what seems like forever...really only 8-10 months. I swear I stopped thinking about the stupid FRT about a week before it came through, resigning myself to the fact that it might be another year, then lo and behold it came through. I'll do my best to take lots of pictures when the ACR arrives. Already have some kit to dress it up in :>
 
Mark,

Any possibilities of sending our uppers in and having your team do the barrel?

Thanks!

I don't see a problem with that, but no idea on what the cost will be. My understanding is that the Gravel imports will have pinned and welded Izzy Muzzle Breaks so getting the piston and locking pieces off the factory barrel will mean getting that muzzle break off.

Assuming you want to "save" your old barrel then it will be a bit of a chore to get the muzzle break off... the longer it takes the more the job costs. Easiest (fastest) solution is to just cut the barrel to remove the muzzle break and get the proprietary parts off that way. It would be up to you how you want us to do it.

Also, keep in mind that with the ACR the "upper" is considered the firearm (not the lower) and so you'll need to get an ATT to send us the upper. You don't need to send the whole upper though... ACR has an easy to remove barrel and all we need is the barrel assembly, not the whole upper receiver.

I'd definitely be interested in that 12" ACR. Also, anyone know roughly what it costs to get a barrel parkerized so we can have a black barrel on one of these?

EDIT: Also don't see the other ACR rifles on the website, are they in the process of being added?
 
Also, just curious as to why the gas block is hidden on the Canadian import models at Saskatoon Gun Works vs these? Is the rail shorter on these?

We have more people asking us for guns than we have guns to sell... no point in putting anything up on the website, unless we actually import some more guns and that's still up in the air.

I have a list of people, some going back to last year, who asked us for a crack at our ACR's if and when the RCMP released the FRT #. Those people are being given first chance at the guns.
