I really hope I am near the top of the list (regardless of when it comes out)....I added my name once when it came out, and then Justin took over and had a different list so I added to that one too. Probably both lists are missing now, but if there is a list = please keep me on it.

I doubt there should be any problems with this, considering Swiss Arms has done the dance before, they could even say it's a .308 variant of the current rifles. Both of which are based off the Sig 540.
Keep in mind, it took my friend over a YEAR to get a .22LR rifle based directly on the ruger 10/22 action an FRT number.
Patience!

How much longer is this expected to take? The initial samples arrived June of 2011, RCMP asked for more info in May 2012.. is it unreasonable to assume we'll have an FRT issued this summer? Some of the other rifles submitted in the same time frame, such as the SCAR, have already been issued numbers... I'm just wondering what the hold up would be.

Who wouldn't want one ? the techs in the lab are having too much fun with it and are afraid they will have to give it back once they make a decision either way .. must be nice to drag your feet on everything and still have a job . Yet another example of our tax dollars hard at work . They will be worth the wait
Considering it's been almost 4 years in the making, if not longer, what's another 6-8 months going to do really !!!
How many firearms could thier lab possible have to process in the run of a year? How many people does the lab employ or the services contracted out? What is there annual budget? It would be really interesting to knowing. Anyone know how to get information under the freedom to information act? Is it after all tax income paying for these services and I would also be interested in knowing if the lab is accessable for visits as there is nothing there which should be secret information. Why don't they disclose all the information or is it already listed somewhere?
If they are contracting out parts of this I would be really interested to know who is doing the work.
Also waiting to SAPR to be released. Thanks TSE for your efforts to date.

It really baffles the mind that this rifle has been in with the RCMP for YEARS and we've seen other been sent in and approved in a much shorter time frame.
Sad situation really.
Btw JR - I don't expect you to reply and agree with me; you may just put the SARP all the way at the back of the line! Just voicin' a disappointed voice t'is all.
Over a year ago someone posted an e-mail exchange between the RCMP member and Swiss Arms where the RCMP is asking for details on the rifle. The RCMP member asked clueless questions (obviously had zero clue how the rifle worked) and not surprisingly SA decided not to respond. The RCMP then have replied well we're waiting for info... If I as an engineer displayed such incompetence (especially not picking up the effing phone) I would be canned in short order. It isn't even a case of foxes running the henhouse it's more like lobotomized gnats running the hen house. Bureaucratic incompetence at its finest. So frustrating...

I am going to the Gun Factory in Swtzerland this April to buy some "Swiss Furniture" and other various goodies. Keeping my fingers crossed as if the SAPR comes through, my shopping list will just have to change a little.
