Like all direct impingement operated rifles, this rifle works best with BTHP, polymer tipped and FMJ bullets and may encounter feeding issues with lead tipped, all lead, round nose or other soft point bullets. It also requires generous lubrication of the bolt assembly at all times. This is critical for the first 500 rounds as the moving parts break in.
These rifles have a MATCH GRADE barrel and chamber. The use of off-shore surplus or corrosive ammo is not recommended and will void any warranty . In our experience domestically manufactured bulk ammo will not harm the rifle. These rifles are all test fired for function with American Eagle 55gr FMJ bulk ammo.
As most know, the AR15 platform is a restricted rifle in Canada. We have come up with a modular rifle that shares many of the AR15 assets in so far as being very modular and it will accept the use of most AR15 furniture, but it is NON-Restricted.
The base model rifle is $3350.00 and includes, among other things, a match grade stainless steel barrel, Timney competition AR15 3lb trigger, and a JP silent captured spring system! A large number of upgrades are available at additional cost.
The base model rifle has the option of either an A2 fixed stock or a 6 position collapsible stock or you can upgrade to a Magpul CTR collapsible, Magpul PRS adjustable and KFS TacMod adjustable stock.
Barrels chambered in 223 Wylde are only available in an 18.6" length. Barrels chambered in 6.5 Grendel are only available in a 20" length.
All barrels will come standard with a threaded muzzle.
Stainless barrels will be available in 3 contours, light, medium and heavy.
We also offer an optional Proof Research Carbon Fiber Wrapped barrel or BSF carbon fiber Tension barrel, to keep the weight down.
Ambi bolt release comes standard on the base model and ambi safety and mag release are available upgrades.
The base model rifle will be offered with a free float tube style handguard, however Maple Ridge Armoury V1 handguards, JP Enterprise modular handguards, Fortis Mfg. SWITCH Keymod handguards and PRI carbon fiber handguards are available upgrades.
