Troy SAR (Side Action Rifle) ???

The spring assist for closing the action is interesting. I'm happy with my shorty PAR for now, but might just keep my eye on these too.....

I find it very cool that Troy is working around state restrictions with these interesting PAR and SAR rifles.
But I am also terrified that this may become the future of AR style rifles here in Canada.
I have mixed feelings about these obviously.

SHHHHH!!!! Don't give the powers that be any ideas.

But ya, I do agree it's cool that Troy is putting the effort into bringing products to market that are designed to circumvent pointless laws. Good for them.
 
A friend of mine got one a couple months back; he loves it, but I have not had a chance to get out to the range to try it (he has invited me)!
 
Can the folding stock be converted to a normal AR style adjustable stock with say a Magpul CTR?

Agreed.
Stupid laws.
 
I would definitely be interested in buying one if it is released as a non-restricted rifle. I like to hunt and shoot in the country and would get a lot more use out of this rifle. I would buy a normal AR in a heartbeat if non restricted, I had several while I lived in US. I have no desire to have a restricted rifle and only be able to shoot paper at the range. I hope is is released in Canada soon.

I think the answer would be yes. Seem like you'll need an extra adapter.

A friend of mine has the pump in .223, and while he loves the rifle for freehand, it is a pita for benchrest. I had no desire for the pump version, but, might be inclined towards this straight pull version in .308 (I already have a good bolt .223.

Obviously you haven't been harassed by LEO/Fish and wildlife before with a "scary" looking semi-auto......and tried to explain its non-restricted.

Some of us love the modularity and custom ergonomics of this "type of looking" rifle for hunting. You can build it exactly to your specs for what you need while hunting. I.E adjustable LOP (for heavy winter clothing to maintain eye relief), folding stock for wearing on your back (drastically reducing its length) while stalking that ram up some "hellish" incline, pistol grip for solid grip while carrying and for quick transition to the eye, adding use of a barricade stop on the railed forend ...so you can use any tree whatsoever as a rock solid rest...for those quick shots in the heavy timber........ability to have magazines...for a fast reload in case of a sketchy situation....I could go on..and on..

I am also very interested in how well the forward spring assist works with loading..betcha it's really smooth and fast

can't wait to get my hands on one :)
