Why not just make another model with a non match thinner barrel for the average guy that wants to blast off alot of cheap steel cased ammo just plinking or training drills, It would make a better lighter brush and hunting gun anyway, dont care if its 2MOA gun , Not everyone is a precision long range shooter or have the distance near them to do so. Your limiting your market greatly with only having match grade target barrels. If you think people wont pay that much for a plinking gun that shoots cheap ammo your crazy , look how much people spend upgrading m14s, i know many people that run cheap commie ammo through pricey guns like Tavors , Swiss arms and FAMAE. And barrel replacement should be easy on this rifle anyway right?

One. Simple. Solution. Buy something cheaper. Why would you pay over 3k on basically a plincking rifle? Makes no sense.

That's like telling Mercedes they should be making Volkswagen Beatles.

Well AR10s are NOT non restricted, XCRMs suck , RFBs suck , SG542 is almost just as much money as the modern hunter and the M14 is dated .. What other options am i left with!? I spent almost 3k on a Tavor to plink with so whats your point?

Thats a pretty retarded comment lol , take KAC SR25 for example the barrel options range from a match grade target barrels to a normal profile chrome lined carbine barrels . Are you comparing Knights Armament to VW then ?? Most all company's that make modern .308 gas guns offer a standard barrel . The FN SCAR has 2 barrel profiles too.

Buy the modern hunter then slap on a cheapy barrel. Done. Problem solved in my mind. Put the match barrel back on and resight when you need to hit your target.

Not at all in my plans, but to each their own.

It is slightly more complicated than that as we did not use a standardized AR10 gas block, on purpose. Just 1 of the many differences that allowed us to achieve NR status.

Will you eventually offer left-hand ejection?
I would take one left-handed in .338federal.
Browning offers that with a custom BAR but I'd really prefer an ATRS rifle.

I seriously doubt it as there just is not anywhere near enough demand to invest the money needed into completely re-doing all the machine programs and building all new fixtures.
The rifle can be built fully ambidextrous short of the charge handle and the shell deflector sends the casings all forward and to the right anyway.

I don't think you have read the details of what we are doing.
We DO offer a light contour barrel, the contour is NOT what makes a match grade barrel.
It takes EXACTLY the same amount of work and time to turn a less expensive barrel as it does a proven performer.
The cost between a less expensive barrel and the barrel manufacturers we have chosen to deal with is about $50.00 per blank, so as you can see a tremendous saving.
The real difference is that we use the best barrels available and cut chambers that are not sloppy as are commonly found on the surplus conscript guns or the modern day spray and pray guns.

We "could" add an option if the demand is there for ubber loose chambers and cheapest crap barrels on the planet, but the guns would also then come with a host of legal papers to be signed by the recipient holding ATRS free from any liability in the event of any problems from functionality to bodily injury of death.

We are NOT building a battle rifle or a spray and pray rifle in any way. We have spent a GREAT deal of time and money here so we can supply a modern style semi auto that is NON Restricted to the Canadian gun culture. It would seem very counterproductive to now re-invent it as a modern SKS.
 
Its funny the this project is a purpose built platform to fill a very narrow whole in the Canadian firearms market.
1 Match grade. 2. Semi auto 3. NR 4.Large cal ( .308)
And now that new comers are finding out about, they are trying to get there personal preferences put into the project, taking it out of the designed niche it was purpose built for.
If you ant a NR .223 theres lots out there.
If you want a NR .308 that shoots surplus ammo like a scatter gun there option out there to. M305, FNHR XCR-M...
Use the right tool for the job.

I want one of these so bad I can taste it. Incredible quality at an incredible price. I've been putting off any new purchases in favour of this and as soon as I finish saving, I'll be camping your doorstep.
 
I just woke up, pulled my head from my ass and realized that this gun is semi auto. I thought it was a straight pull bolt action. Duh for me. I have to say I am very excited about this rifle, and I think ATR has done an amazing job. How many threads are there about people wanting a black rifle that shoots 1/10th moa? This is a fantastic rifle and I will be seriously condemplating buying on in the future.
 
2015 should be a great year to be part of ATRS. Seems like allot of your projects are coming to life at the same time. The modern hunter ( so close I can almost feel the recoil ) , the ATRS AR pistol mags, and your new long rifle bags. I could see buying another bag but shorter to fit the modern hunter. I cannot believe how solid and well thought out this bag is. It's almost going to hurt to get it dirty.
Good luck to you and the crew in the new year.
