I thought this was cool, until I saw the price. More than a real AR.

guncity just being guncity

Yup. It's a bit steep to pay that for a 17WSM in that configuration but hard to justify when there are other sporting semis in wmr out there for way less

and here we go again......watch this space. same shit different flavor.....anyone want a bet on how long it will be untill ALL rimfire semis get banned now this is going on??? AGAIN....
wonder if there are magazines for "something else" of high capacity for sale on same shelf YET.......
I better shut up now before upset a fan boy.

Not saying you are wrong or that you do not have a point.

But, the ideologues that wish to further restrict legal gun ownership will do so regardless of what loopholes guncity tries to find to sell ars...

@Micky Duck well apart from at least three 22s that look zackerly like an AR, one retailer is also selling 22 semis that look like G3s AKs and several other types that wouldn't have been allowed just a few years back on appearances.
The bugger of a thing is in at least the case of the Tippmans, some of them are quite reliable and accurate

There have been rimfire AR 15s ever since the the great guy "buy back".
17wsm ARs came in quick smart to fill the void, along with many 22s and a bunch of straight pull centrefires.

its called poking the sleeping bear.....

I wouldnt have one for a wart on my arse -end of stry .inever liked the m16design -a prick to fire cackhanded-(scars on chin to prove it) climbed like a mortgage interest rate on fullauto and a right c u next tuesday to clean.also a piss poor chainsaw for felling trees.now a good old SLRfor me please.this desaign is so dated shit a brick no doubt even the green party would want to market a version -vegan of course.

Bloody hell. Who in their right mind would pay that?

Pistol grip makes it better for prone shooting. Look at the grip or grip angle on every firearm stock that isn't based on an antique design.

Okay take ya word for it mate - just trying to get my head around why someone would want to buy an AR 15 look alike over a more conventional wood blued - I need convincing they are not just wanting to look Rambo like - perhaps I need to use one - they just look awkward to me -as if they would not handle well

Because I like Toyota's and my mate likes Nissans - same, same. We all like different things and just because somebody decides they dont like a certain configuration, look, colour etc, doesnt mean we all have to follow that persons likes. Be a boring old world if wee did eh........and dont forget the "15 minute city". I've never fired a real AR, would love to. I can see the benefit in a very fast 17. I happen to like semi's, just cos I can. But, those that know me also know that wood/blued does it for me too. Lets not jump on the bandwagon of the anti's and continue to vilify our fellow law abiding LFO's just cos they dont have the same tastes as us. Lets all stand together for once and stop giving the anti's and the popo fuel for their warped arguments as to why we should not owb firearms at all.
