Do you know if they will make one in 6.5 Creedmoor or 5.56

u/LumberjackCDN Gold'n Loan Outfitters & Pawn Jun 18 '26

They make em in 556 but probably wont see them in Canada because of the stupid ar mag thing. Im not sure if theyd do it in 6.5 creed cause of the short barrel length but you never know

I have a 5.56 on order with Irunguns right now. Seems to be the only option for getting one.

So the ar mag thing is after 2023 new designs can't take ar mags right for some reason I thought it was only for semi autos only or is it for all new designs

May I ask why ? I heard that the Gen 2 has nice features like a cheek pad and fluted barrel, but I prefer the Gen 1's look. I'm curious on people's opinion on both

I've been in love with the American Ranch for ever now, I'd really love to get my hands on one !

u/fishinguy44 Jun 19 '26

It is nicer forsure but almost double the price

u/IntrepidKitchen5322 Jun 18 '26

Did you get this imported or are these slowly hitting Canadian shelves now?

2

u/Stryker1-1 Jun 18 '26

Wondering the same been looking but perhaps I haven't looked hard enough because I don't see anyone with stock in canada

u/ClubDeTirDeMontreal Club de Tir de Montreal (Verified) Jun 18 '26

u/IntrepidKitchen5322 Jun 19 '26

Wow hot commodity! Are you folks expecting the 556 models at all?

1

u/BigCyanDinosaur Jun 19 '26

They've been coming in for over a year, they just sell out quick.

u/IntrepidKitchen5322 Jun 19 '26

These were just shown at SHOT show this year and there's no search result of this before 2026 afaik

u/Standard_Ganache_714 Jun 19 '26

338fed or 358win would be interesting in this rifle

u/waitwhatnothing Jun 20 '26

They have short barrelled 16” .358 Win as an option with the M77, both blued and stainless.
