Thread: Pump Action AR-10 Made in Australia

Could be improved further by a straight pull ambidextrous cocking handle for when you're prone and can't use the pump action so well.

My guess would be price point - change as much as is needed so the bureaucrats don't have an excuse to ban it, then use as many off the shelf components as you can get to keep your costs down. That said I agree, a folding stock would be the way to go unless that's a no-no in Aus?



Ultimately where there's a will there's a way. If it comes out cheaper than the PAR there's a market for them here.... or maybe an in-country manufacturer will be able to start up? I'd imagine that there must be a group of knowledgeable and experienced people who have both the legal and financial means to make it happen if the market is there.
