    Yea, I would love a real one as well but self importing a single rifles is more drama than I'm keen on. If someone does bring them in I'll try and find the cash.
    But until then I'm going to do a aero upper

    Nzrac has aero monolith uppers and that's what most people seem to be using
    I don't really see the point in a "Mono" upper. I am going to build something similar but with a normal upper/hand guard. My 300AAC lower already has the Ergo grip and B5 stock. Nice stock by the way.

    There is no point other than it being the only way to have a free floated barrel in NZSRA service class-for some reason they voted that it had to be mono.

    Yes well I have a theory on why.

    It's fun to shoot the Service Rifle format but cant abide by their rules. I wish it was a "real" service rifle format and not the heavy barrel target AR's. They are definitely an advantage over things with a lighter front end. It would make the thing so much more interesting. The new standard format would have made it much more fun if it wasn't made exclusive by the need for a mono upper. Especially if they dropped the target AR's. It makes it even more difficult for non AR service format rifles to compete.

    I am really keen for something similar at the new Auckland range.

    Yea, I think making it exclusive to mono uppers was a mistake-a real chance to make the sport more assessable to all the people who already have rifles lost/delayed.

    Start collecting bits as supply is random,
    Www.nzar15.com has uppers and lowers ATM, the Uzi mag version.

    I think OZ GUN SALES - Online Firearms Classifieds - has complete ones in E cat format

    My theory about the HBAR thing is they did it because for some time there were restrictions on the types of barrels that people could get out of the USA.

    Really? That must have been 20 years ago at least.

    thats my understanding about how it came about as well,personly I have both hbar and a2 20" uppers and find that each is better than the other at diferent matchs so its fairly eaven over a day. I prefer the a2 profile as it just seems more right somehow
