If it comes in non restricted I would buy one.If not RPAL here I come.

 

[driller212]

not too shabby.. if only we had a distributor who would get these things up here.

 

[Ohno]

Mmmmm 32rd mags.

 

[fireball]

Years ago I put between 650 to 700 rounds through my bullbarrel Ruger 10/22, wood stock, before it would no longer feed. Wood doesn't get hot.

Sweet! If those bad boys came up here it would likely impact my Kel-Tec plans.

 

[mlehtovaara]

And that hand guard is the fail in the design!

To thin, and close to the barrel, and made of steel so it heats up!

Other questions remain, like is this brand new out of box, or a demo that has already been broken in?

Is it just like factory, or has it been tweaked at all?

Still a cool gun, and hoping for a non restricted model to get here.

 

[ESQ]

Do these take a pistol mag again?

400 rounds before it gets too hot? I wouldn't give that a fail. Looks warm where he is, too.

 

[driller212]

it takes "modified" uzi mags. so unless an uzi is considered a pistol, they would be 5 round mags.

Their site says that it also takes mags from 9mm AR-15 carbines. I'm not sure but aren't there some 10 rounders for them kicking around up here? If so, that makes the Thureon even more tempting.

EDIT: I see Questar has the 10 round 9mm AR mags.

I agree. 400 rounds non stop is quite a workout.

 

[driller212]

yea if there are, and someone imports that thing i might have to pick one up!

 

[fnrob]

Me too, man. There's just been so many new models coming in that it's hard to decide what to save for first.

 

[driller212]

I know eh!!! im so excited, but i have no money! haha hence me scrambling to try to sell stuff lately!

So these are officially coming in?? If so, who is carrying them?

 

[driller212]

no not that I know of. We are just getting all excited is all but i have emailed them and they seemed willing to make a special model for the canadian market.

According to this thread, Dangertree said there is someone supposedly working on importing them.

However, there hasn't been much word about them lately, so who knows when they'll be coming in.

or IF they will...

 

[fnrob]

True. But with new stuff getting the green light this year like the Hi-Points, MR1s, and the Kel-Tecs, I could see a good chance of us seeing these in the future. At least I'm hoping so.

 

[driller212]

yea, we can only hope we get as many of these scary looking demon rifles as possible before they start trying to ban them. its only a matter of time, we need to put commercials up or something...
