ATRS - MODERN HUNTER - FRT_149826 NON-RESTRICTED
Read the Modern Hunter Frequently asked questions here
Like all direct impingement operated rifles of this style, this rifle works best with BTHP, polymer tipped and FMJ bullets and does NOT work well 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. We have found that match grade factory ammo or handloads will produce the best accuracy. Decent domestically manufactured bulk ammo will not harm the rifle. These rifles (chambered in 308 Win) are all test fired for function with American Eagle 150gr FMJ bulk ammo. This ammo will not produce the best accuracy but will function reliably.
As most know, the AR10 platform is a Restricted rifle in Canada. We have come up with a modular rifle that shares many of the AR10 assets in so far as being very modular and it will accept the use of most AR10 furniture. AND it is NON Restricted. Below is the CAD model of the gun as it will be produced.
The base model rifle is $3650.00. (This may vary dependent on exchange rate) There are many options included at no added cost as well as a large number of upgrades available at additional cost.
The base model rifle will be offered with either an A2 fixed stock or a 6 position collapsible stock as standard equipment however Magpul CTR collapsible or PRS adjustable stocks are available upgrades at additional cost.
The base model rifle will come standard with a stainless steel match grade barrel. Minimum barrel length will be 18.6" to keep it Non restricted but are available longer if desired. Barrels will be available in 3 contours. Barrels can have threaded muzzles, we just need to know when the order is placed. We will also be offering an optional 308 caliber ,6.5 Creedmoor and .260 Rem Proof Research Carbon Fiber Wrapped barrel to keep the weight down.
This rifle will also come standard with a 4 lb match quality single stage trigger. This is the only option for triggers at this point.
The base model rifle will be offered with a DPMS free float tube however JP Enterprise modular handguards, Fortis Mfg. SWITCH Keymod handguards and PRI carbon fiber handguards are available upgrades.
