Did you mean for the MSRP on the Troy Industries Optics Ready AR-15 5.56 NATO Pump Action Rifle 16 Barrel 10 Round Magazine TRX2 Style Hand Guard/Integrated Pump Action Matte Black to be $100 less than what you’re selling them for? Or is it the other way around?
The Canadian dollar fluctuates, therefore advertising in Canadian funds when you pay in USD in not accurate and would cause more problems.
Creditcards also have different transaction fees, some have none. I would recommend using this link https://www.google.com/search?q=us+to+canadian&oq=us+to+canadian&aqs=chrome.0.69i59j0j0i433j0l5.2531j1j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 as it will get you in the ballpark.
All in, these rifles are cheaper than the $1849.00 offered in Canadian funds elsewhere.

It's a bit annoying but understandable, paying twice is also a pain in the butt, specially when the capta part doesn't work for the second payment minutes after the first where you know have to pay a second time for GST and shipping.
I can't think of any other transactions I've had where the shipping and GST with a separate invoice.
The parts I ordered should fit in a relatively small box.... the cheapest shipping option was over $40.00, expedited or regular shipping was the same price.
Shipping has gone up for sure recently so maybe $40 for a small box is as good as it gets for online retailers in Canada today?
One more question to clarify - the foregrip: is it the cylindrical foregrip, as seen in your website picture (which allows those little panels to be removed, for example, to attach a vertical grip) or is the particular model you're selling the more recent molded foregrip pump with the big curved ridges on the front and back of the grip? I'm thinking of placing an order, thank you, and just looking to clarify
A friend has one. He has had it for a few years, bought it from IRGs. Nice rifle, shoots very well. Only draw-back is if you reload, they have a fluted chamber to make extraction easier, however these flutes imprint themselves on the cartridge, making them exceptionally difficult to resize. Intrepid re-loaders have told me that repetitively reloading of these for the PAR yields much shorter brass life.
Also, a couple members on here have had issues with the rather frail action rod failing. My friend has not had that issue.

I have the PAR in 308, I can’t give you exact accuracy results at this time but sighting in my scope I was getting average one inch groups at 100 yards,IAM not a great shot but I try. This was on a bench rest with a 1-8 viper. I harvested a 300 pd black bear at around 100 yards from a blind that was about 50’ above target across a swamp.One shot and he only ran about 50 ft with a 190 fr round.in my opinion the 308 version is accurate enough for hunting although IAM going to replace the barrel.Iam thinking an IBI carbon wrapped in 308 at about the 12-14 inch length.I want the rifle as short and light as I can within reason,I don’t shoot long ranges so IAM not worried about ballistics with a shorter barrel length, carrying it in thick northern Ontario bush will be easier.I have to figure out what length will work with my muzzle break and hand guard. I only shoot the AR style platform and I would of preferred my old stag 10 but running a pump has a couple advantages,barrel length ,mag cap and should never ( hopefully ) be an issue with the FRT changing to prohib being a pump.Iam also swapping out the trigger to a trigger tech. Hope this insight helps.
