Thanks for the intel. Glad I bought that $1700 STG77 instead of waiting, now I can start saving for it again.

More info from TFB
Looks like the bolt carrier is the registered and serialized part. Hopefully barrel assemblies will be reasonably priced. Looks like the shell deflector isn't molded in anymore but it looks like one can be clipped on via the slots in the ejection port. |

With the barrel being made in the US ,no export stock and parts being made in SK I’ve kind of lost interest in it.

I'm looking forward to it. DASAN has been making firearms parts a long time, and they're working diligently to compete with S&T Motiv (formerly Daewoo), so they have plenty of incentive to produce nothing but the highest quality parts.
Do we know who's producing the US barrel? |

The real question for overall quality will be who makes the barrel, and whether its CHF and chrome lined. I'm hoping the barrel is made by FN like the AUG. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Ugh. The bolt carrier is the serialized firearm? That’s a terrible idea. Also, if it accepts a standard AUG bolt group one could swap out the carrier and have a completely unserialized rifle. It works just fine - I doubt you'll see many, if any, AUG carriers that have worn out. Considering that they run in a plastic stock. |

No integrated shell deflector is weak sauce.
 Why the change??....But looking at pics, it appears it may be a snap in part anyways?
Still holding out for a 20inch barreled version..preferably in the nasty tan color the Aussie's are using.

I will also have to unfortunately hold out for a 20 or 18” barreled version with the export/Nato stock in a tan/mud color.
The barrel change has basically become a barrel & chassis change that is no longer $500 or less. Even if they offer like a $800+ barreled option in the future dont think that will be attractive to me. It took me years to finally convince myself I seriously wanted my 16” AUG to grow to 20” But I have to admit that does look great in the green stock. |

I want the shortest barrel length offered (14.5") and it won't be growing unless it gains a sound suppressor.

Saw these for $2000 preorder on Brownells. If that's what they are going to go for when they finally hit shelves, I'd pass and just get an AUG.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Just from all the pictures I have seen. I have yet to find a naked barrel photo without any of the receiver parts. I only see the center part of the chassis (pretty much the charging handle guide) if you call it that as polymer - and by all the pics I cannot tell if it is just two halves that clamshell the barrel assembly and bolt together. It could be that slides down the barrel and is only bolted to the rail at the top to secure it. You still have the pressed on trunnion on the rear & gas block assembly at the front. I dont see anything quick or cheap about changing a barrel in that assembly. I will still pick up one. But I will hopefully hold out for something like below with ideally a slightly longer barrel & matching stockset. http://soldiersystems.net/blog1/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/img_4018.jpg 
So the "QD" bbl claim is somewhat an exaggeration. QD upper is probably more accurate. |

I really don't think it's a big deal either way. It's super easy to gain access to the barrel with either of them.
They had to redesign it to save weight when they added all those rails. That was the correct decision. I like the rails. If you don't want the rails, and aren't going to mount a 40mm launcher, then it offers nothing over the standard AUGs. |

Still no brown/green Aussie color scheme, no 18”/20” options, actual Australian content unknown? Not knocking Dasan, I know who they are, but I wanted a Lithgow/Thales rifle within the limits of 922r.
No care anymore. Not sure why they want to compete directly with Steyr with a black 16” AUG-mag rifle.

Update-
I spoke to the Dasan Rep yesterday at the NRA show. They are targeting June 2018 for a release date of the Atrax.He said the ATF hasn’t fully approved the bolt carrier as the “registered part” of the gun and this is what has held up the release of the Atrax. Per the Rep it will only have 10 Australian made parts on it. I was hoping for more but that’s not that big a deal They had a tan stocked example on hand, the trigger was nice but not life changing also It had no shell deflector installed on it. I will definitely pick one up once they become available. |
