Gun and gear reviews New NR UTAS Straight Pull 556/308?
I've seen some posts from a firearms retailer in Alberta social media and website and a couple private sellers online selling UTAS 556/308 AR10/AR15 straight pulls.
The rifle from what I'm reading is essentially an AR10/AR15 without a gas port in the upper and proprietary sized pivot/takedown pins to make it incompatible with normal AR10/AR15 but is otherwise it's an AR10/AR15.
Does anyone have any more information on this rifle? I can't find much online and there's no public FRT, I would imagine there's a private one that has not been released yet as it would be needed for importing the rifle from Turkey. Seems odd RCMP would've allowed this to pass as NR.

If it’s a straight pull and over $1200 you might as well go MRA, SCSA, or Troy. Don’t think I’d want to go Turkish for anything too price if the reliability is a coin flip. Under a grand though…I might reconsider since this rifle is a looker
