    The one in the back of the picture makes me drool. Tell us about it, please.

    Luton,UK allows semi auto's - I was under the impression that Semi auto's were restricted in the UK.

    Art ; They have no gas tube - they can only function by manually operating the bolt for each shot as per UK laws.
    No , I did not read that in a manual or stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night.... it's just the facts Ma'am.

    Well, that takes care of the AR and the AK, what about the 10-22?

    I heard about a conversion for an AR that makes it a pump action. That wouldn't be half bad IMHO! Think I might just build one someday for S&G.

    no semi auto centerfire over here so 22lr is aloud but everything else is single shot

    the CZ 455 at 50 yards produced that group

    For an AK not to bad but an AR in single shot I'd want a charging handle in the bolt carrier or on the side.

    You got some nice toys there - if you get out to Arizona send a PM and we'll let you play with some semi/full auto toy's.

    Be careful inviting these characters from across the pond.

    I got to meet a couple from Ireland at the Grand American and they have come across quite a few times. One guy is on the IRA hit list - he is not the kind of guy you want to tick off. Both can shoot and shoot well. Really good guys who envy us in a good way. It is humbling to have your butt handed to you by a guy still recovering from jet lag.

    Don Verna

    BTW, I am not 100% sure the guy on the hit list used his real name. His family is targeted too. What a way to live. And no.... he was not bs'ing.

    In some parts of Australia they had laws against autoloading rifles and came up with a manually operated version of the FAL chambered for the 7.7X54r (in Europe known as the .303 sporting) cartridge.
    An article on this cartridge, based on a slightly shortened .303 British case, told of other types of military autoloaders being converted to straight pull or single shot operation, also chambered for the 7.7X54r cartridge.
    Some Lee Enfield rifles were converted to this short case cartridge by setting the barrel back one or more threads and using a finishing reamer if necessary.

    I've seen ads for a Marlin lever action converted to .410 smoothbore for sale in the UK. Guess they don't want people owning lever action centerfire rifles either.

    Nice to see you enjoying it...
    how did it group?
    I see you lifting you head to charge it - Have you thought about one of these?

    Young Manufacturing chrome National Match AR15 bolt carrier with side charging handle
    The YM chrome NM carrier with side charging handle is identical to their regular NM carrier except for the addition of the side charging handle. This carrier is intended only for use in upper receivers that have a side charging handle slot, such as the Mega SBU side charge upper receiver.
