Spectre Ballistics Light Practical Carbine - NR Receiver Set

[SCDL]

.458 pistol version in the cards?

One question. It’s hard to tell from you CAD drawings, does the buffer attach to the upper or lower? The drawings almost make it look like the lower is flat and doesn’t kick up in the rear to hold the buffer.

Could you post a picture of the cad model from the rear end angle?

The buffer tube attaches to the upper. We opted for this for several reasons, but importantly it saves quite a bit of stock and brings the cost down. This gun is very much nothing like an AR.

No.

Love the idea and the name. With a straight pull, how compact can the BCG be? Does it need to use the buffer tube or could you put a folding stock on?

If it's compatible with AR uppers it's an AR and this is a non-started.

The design is not changing, this is what we are running with. Minor changes may be made to facilitate production and improve reliability.

Makes sense. Thanks!

I'll take 3 please.

Can you clarify how the bolt handle will work? What locks the bolt in the forward position when firing?

To clarify my question, I understand the bolt lugs rotate and lock, I'm asking what will make them lock and unlock.

It works exactly how your AR works now, when a round is chambered the carrier rotates the bolt using a cam.

This reciever concept sounds good to save part from ar but if the barrel is under 18" it has to be regastered as restricted or am I wrong?

 

[Saintly]

I like it. Tagged

Yep, I understand that principle.

On an AR, I understand it is the buffer spring which applies continuous forward pressure on the BCG, thereby keeping the lugs engaged and locked.

My question is what takes place of this system?

I'll just wait for more details I guess. Either way, I want one

Incorrect.

Restricted is:
- handguns which aren't prohib
- Semi auto with barrel under 18.5 (key word being semi auto)
- Overall length under 26"
- Anything else they dislike.

 

[MJS]

If take one of these now if they were available just for the cool factor.

Would make a great bench rifle with a 18” barrel

LPC - liberal politically correct firearm!

 

[Patt08]

One of these with a 16.5” barrel would be slick!!

Is this how it’s going to operate? Sans bolt hold open and bolt release? Go to 1:15 for operation of the action.

You misunderstand.... If we're selling a gun with an FRT that means the RCMP have given it the a-ok. Should legislation be passed that changes that, we're not responsible, we designed a gun to meet the requirements at the time. However, if we make a gun and sell it without an FRT and then the RCMP decided during the FRT evaluation it is in fact prohibited we would be responsible to get the guns back, therefore we would need to keep track of them. Unlike the WK180C, our gun is a 100% novel design. It's not a variant of an existing Non-Restricted gun. While I am 100% certain it will be Non-Restricted since it's a bolt action, and can't be converted to anything else, as a company we have decided to not sell it without an FRT.

I understand your position with it being an entirely new platform. Both the WK180-C and the Modern Sporter were based on previously approved models of non-restricted firearms. The chances of them receiving an undesirable classification were, although not guaranteed, slim to none.

That being said, I think your (estimated) release date of Q2 2020 is VERY optimistic for the path you have chosen to take.

 

[K-C]

I would buy a receiver set and a couple of addition uppers, ban or no ban....

 

[cwblackwell88]

Yeah, I am interested even without a ban as well.
