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.

I know.... (-:

I think these PAR type rifles will be easier to shoot prone if there is a small cylinder or even something like part of a Mapgul hand stop kit on the side picatinny portion so you grip and cycle it on the side. The only thing better than that would be a proper side charger linked to a pump action which is what I think you are suggesting. Gun Supplies may come out with something but I just can't see their milspec lowers being allowed to be used.
