I’m all for Canadian manufacture designing NR rifles for the Canadian market, But like to see them come out with a 308 platform for the Canadian market and not just 9mm and 556

I have often hear this comment, and then I often wonder if those who ask for this will be willing to pay the $3000+ price tag for one. What do you think? Still viable at that price?

Hey Cory, it’s Cory….Really, Really, hoping one of those .556 Uppers are on its way to NAS in Thorald…As you know, main reason I took a chance on the Spectre Crusader over 2 years ago, was the promise then of the Upper! 🙏🍻💯🇨🇦💪😎

Castle nut should NEVER come loose from normal use.

Looks awesome. Can you make a 7.62 x 39 version that takes the LAR- 10 round 7.62 x 39 mags? Canada needs a quality rifle in that caliber that isn’t the SKS.

I just learned about this, hope the special offer is still open

Nice build.

Does the charging handle lock back and up like an MP5 (or a GSG-16) so it can be slapped or not?

if you could do a 762x39 upper that would be a dream come true it would make it easier to take game like deer and also train with the 9mm if you could make that 100% I would buy it

We have a lot of 5.56 and x39 rifles on the market what is extremely lacking is a 308 semi auto rifle so a company releasing a 308 for a normal price would be very popular

i wasn't too interested in crusader 9....now with the 5.56 I'm deff thinking it might be a fun one

First get rid of that awe-full mag-well design and I might consider buy this product!!

Awesome!

How many parts of the Crusader Arms 5.56 are interchangeable with an AR-15? Such as can you use different AR-15 barrels

Looks pretty bulky. Wish we could get something in line with the brn 180 by brownells

got my upper two days ago i really like it.

I bought he Crusader 9 in February, then ordered the 5.56 upper in March, when it first came out. I'm still waiting fo the upper to ship.

From what I hear, they were originally scheduled to ship within 30days so the week of April 18th, but they decided to include a bolt hold open/release as part of the package which delayed the orders but value added for the customer who will get this at no additional cost. Sounds like you will be one of the first to receive them. I hear they are starting to ship at the end of this week.

I fire mine allot, you have to keep it clean and lubed, it is a heavy rifle (has a Square bolt, as opposed to tubular) , I found it malfunctions “ALLOT”, w/115 grain rounds…If you move up to 124 grain, cycles clean, NP….looking forward to seeing how the upper preforms 👌💯🇨🇦💪

If you guys could make a 7.62x39 upper as well I'm sure that would sell out. You don't even need a magwell adaptor as you can just use 7.62x39 xcr mags.

if that was able to use an AR-15 lower in my opinion would be allot better of a selling point. considering that the AR-180 has not really taken off here in the U.S.

Been waiting to see this. Got a heads up from local shop. Great idea and glad you guys are pushing on. Is that MLOK compatible on fore end? And I gotta ask ….. that 30 round?….

If the castle nut is steel, can't you use a punch and stake it in place? As for the screws, could put in some loctite on the threads.

Not sure if you realize that videos are filmed and edited out of temporal order. The gun had seen 1000+ rounds and on the production sample nothing was cranked down or lock tighted. Production sample was taken apart and put back together in the field to inspect wear and proper function. Production models will be torqued down to spec pressure and locktighted. So no not embarrassing at all.

1913 rail was discussed, they decided against it for the following reasons -Current 1913 stocks in Canada are limited and expensive. -the buffer tube gives several options in the way of stock choice to meet customers needs -Folding adapters are readily available. -Spectre already makes the GMOD Galil style folding stock that bypasses the buffer tube and affixes directly to the receiver.
