Rather than everyone making the same “I can’t believe it’s not an AR-15” (there, I said it) and basically daring the antis to ban it, how about someone make something interesting like a Dragunov or PSG-1.
Yes, they’ll probably fall afoul of the appearance laws in NSW and WA, but realistically they’re not likely to sell large numbers due to our small market anyway so does it really matter if they sell a half a dozen fewer - especially if they’re the same ridiculous price all the other locally-made straight-pull rifles are?
I hope they haven’t used the same shitty trigger group as the turkish shotties, it would be really noticeable on the rifles. Not sure how I feel about the spring assist on the pump, would have to try it i guess.
I am assuming the REM 7600 is discontinued and they took advantage of the market gap.
