The new NR NoDak Spud NDS 18SC

Doesn't take long to do, but I get what you mean. They've been dragging ass on this for a long time. I know tons of shops that are aching for more work up here, no excuse for it taking this long aside from either being scared they'll be banned or not having the capital for materials and labor.

Yeah, this. It's been months. Competitors are releasing complete rifles now (thankfully) without building useless months of hype with no real updates.
 
Looks like the Sterling Arms and the NDS will both be competing for the premium 180 space. If NDS stays true to the previous pricing estimates it will come in $500 or so cheaper than the Sterling.
 
I am really hopeful that this offering follows the Brownells 180 very very closely but just with proprietary receivers that aren't AR-15 based. To me the Brownells 180 is the epitome of modern 180 perfection. Hopefully there is a new nodak lower to accompany this project with an AR-15 profile Magwell and 1913 rail on the rear for the most stock mounting options.
 
How does IRG intend to compete in the market at all if they cant even get a rifle to market in over a year? New options are dropping constantly, and still absolutely nothing on this.

Is this something that is worth following? Or is it just smoke and mirrors with no real hope of becoming a reality?

#### at this rate if they could just make a BRN180 style upper to mate with a Spec 180 lower I'd be happier than a pig in ####.

Same. I honestly do not get how no Canadian manufacturer has gotten this through their heads yet, the brn 180 is how many years old now. Maybe this rifle never comes, but im not settling for one of the underwhelming options currently at out disposal.
 
The Sterling R18 is nice lower but the upper is not I like the charging handle on the right side No ambi charging please or at least add some kind of panel.
 
Rifles I’m patiently waiting for..

1) CZ Bren 2 MS

2) The new Bushmaster ACR rumoured to be coming out next year

3) NDS 18S

4) B&T APC 300 SBR

Please just give me one.

This NDS offering had me excited back in 2020 following the cancelation of my BCL Coyote order. I wanted a more premium black rifle that was a step above the current 180 offerings. After waiting over a year for updates on this project, we have seen the latest generations of the WK and MCR improve their reliability, we have seen after market support for upgraded Uppers/Lowers (SBI, Spectre, TNA etc.) as well as seeing new 180 offerings that were announced after this NDS make it to the market already (Jard 180, Sterling Arms).

I went ahead and bought one of those other rifles because I was tired of waiting.
