Yeah the price for the 308 rifles is pretty reasonable too even comparing them with the BCL 102s. I may have to pick one of these up and take it hunting this fall. Now to find a optic for it.Comment

I find your grousing of the "NR tax" laughable. Sure, companies like North Sylva like to jack the price up something fierce, and I agree, it's bullshit, but you get to decide with your wallet. You don't like the price, don't buy it. For the rest of it, you've got to factor in exchange rates (which fluctuate daily) transport costs, and of course, the costs associated with running a gun shop.
Remember the triangle of Cheap, Fast, and Well Made? You can only pick two. Well made is ALWAYS one of the corners for me. So if I want it fast, I have to be prepared to spend. If I want it cheap, I better be patient. But don't let my ramblings and grousing about the good old days stop you from ordering from someone who runs their business from a SeaCan and a PO Box.
Your triangle is hard to square unless we add in a side for “knowingly exploited by the middleman/distributor. They’re part of the reason why small shops all offer mostly the same low end selection, poor diversity, and poor prices.
Look at Virden MB, could they really support their size and staff without their online presence and efforts? How about Arms East themselves? You’d go to their store to get a Stag?
Many retailers have now bypassed North Sylva and others and are sourcing straight from manufacturers. They’ve adapted their business models. Some work, some don’t. ATRS development of the MH/MV line also showed a product opportunity. They didn’t want to lower their price point or even offer a much lower cost option. It’s a great product, but comes at a boutique price. Others found a way to do so economically. I think even ATRS has some options getting there now. Boolets knows the ins and out much better on most of that.
And the guys operating out of a Seacan are frequently fronting the cash themselves. Not making you bankroll part of the order for them. And if they’re successful they open a B&M. SFRC come to mind.
Essentially, you’re mad that IRG isn’t following an exclusive distribution agreement, that was thought to be there, but never was. How many have IRG put through the lab for approval themselves? Can that be checked? It might be surprising. Then again, I think a lot of theirs have been restricted, so they don’t get much attention in most circles.Comment

If the lower was capable of mounting an ar15 upper, even if duct tape was needed to secure it, then it would of been classed as an ar15 variant.the wild still lingered in him and the wolf in him merely slept

Canada Ammo sold/sell a single shot .50 upper that fits an AR-15 lower which makes it restricted. A Canadian company offered a lower which required permanently modifying the upper so it no longer worked with an AR-15 lower. Under those conditions the rifle now became a non-restricted.
There are a number of companies that manufacture a proprietary upper/lower that use a large number of AR parts but don't fit AR uppers/lowers. The Stag 10 is an example of this as to the number of DPMS 308 AR parts it uses but is not considered a 308 AR or variant.Comment
