Where do you see that? When I go to the DDLES website they specifically state under their terms and conditions that they only ship to the US. Last time I spoke to them on the phone they were looking at expanding but I don't think they have yet.

Yeah, that last sentence would kind of make me wary of ordering though. Makes it sound like they don't care if it gets lost in the mail.

There are quite a few companies that have similar policies. Questar for example:
Questar International's responsibility ends once your package is picked up at our premises by Canada Post.

Never the less, over the last few hours I've had numerous emails with the owner and they have just sorted out their shopping cart system to allow Canadian orders. I've ordered an adapter and I will give it a try.

Now if TSE could just get me one of these new Swiss lowers...

we will likely stick with a 1:7... What twist were you interested in?

1:7 ;) I have good accuracy with my 14.3" Swiss arms Carbine with 1:7 barrel using 55g 62g 75g . The 553 having a shorter barrel maybe would suit 1:8 or 1:9 twist rate better?? Someone will chime in with more knowledge I`m sure.

What do the Swiss use?

I haven' heard it confirmed yet, but TSE is or is not planning on bringing these in non-restricted form?

I don't think Swiss Arms offers them in a non-restricted configuration. They do offer them as the lower receiver only so you could swap out your current lower. I think TSE would likely start with bringing in a few lowers and maybe a few complete carbines.
 
The original 552/3's were all 1:7. You wouldn't want to go with 1:8 or 1:9 on the shortest barrels... you need/want a faster twist on the shorter barrel for the same round.

Original 550/551's used 1:10 still... but they are available in 1:7.

SAN is still closed for inventory, so we won't get an answer back regarding more details for a bit yet.
The patience is appreciated.

I will definitely buy a complete rifle, non-restricted, if you bring them in.

Me too. And if that is even possible, I would want it in a standard set up. I.e. 1/10 twist, etc. Although I'd still be interested if they were only 1/7 or something, but I never see the point of 1/7 on these rifles. (Can't believe all this frigging hassle just to be able to use ten-round magazines).
 
Please tell me you'd be bringing in the (complete rifle) 14" carbine version.:)

For me, it doesn't matter if whole rifles are brought in restricted or not, as I'd switch my NR classic green upper for outside range use, and use the 14" SBR for CQB or other match use.

Not just the round count but the release system. I do want to get into the whole "which mags are better" debate nor do I have a problem with the AK/SA mag release system but I do prefer the AR mag release.

Most of us prefer the AR release...especially if you have the training and muscle memory built up. I do have to say though that of all the AK style mag systems, the Swiss is the smoothest!

I like this lower because it closes the gap just a little more between my restricted AR and the non-restricted Swiss Arms.

I guess this is just part of my never ending quest for a substitute AR that has none of the restricted BS.

I hear ya, bud !
 
I will certainly buy one of those lowers for decent price. I like the NEA ones, but didn't want to buy another AR stock assembly.
