Whats the latest Bill?

I've been CRAVING a .17HMR AR since they released the .22LR ARs. I am very interested and plan on getting one as soon as they are available.

Finally up, running and shipping the first units. Initial production is set up to fit a standard telescoping stock lower as I still need to get the spacers for the rifle buffer tube machined. Hopefully there is something on the AA web site by now and I will see what I can do about getting the photos up on this forum.

Interestingly once the units have settled in they run best dry and apart from wiping the chamber every 500 round or so we settled on Krylon degreaser and cleaner to blast the dirt off the bolt.

Forgot to mention we will have a booth at NRA and will have the 17HMR there for examination.

How much will they cost about?

The upper assembly with recoil cassette, mag block and extended magazine latch has an MSRP of $725. Complete rifles run $1175.

Would you ever consider consider doing some .22WMR Valkyries? I'd love one in HMR but here in the UK the law prevents us from owning semi-autos in any chambering other than .22LR and .22WMR.

There are plenty of .22LR AR uppers about, of course, but nothing in WMR (despite the modernisation of the cartridge's ballistics thanks to Remington's 33-grain and CCIs 30-grain polymer-tipped loads), and now that you've got a magnum rimfire system in production, hopefully it wouldn't be too big a step to cater for both cartridges in due course?
