    For me the loss of real ARs has been visceral and handling one of these is a eunuch experience. Personally I’m holding out hope for ACTs new Arms Act with the change of government next year.

    I'm looking at the Kriss AR in .22 and Warwick wfa1 rifle in .223. Was advised to get a new firing pin for Kriss though, not sure why..

    Because they have a habit of breaking. Supposed to have improved them since the earlier ones. I got 600 rounds out of my first one. Ticked over 700 on the second so will see if it lasts. At least now it makes it through a full mag without a missfire after fitting a complete new bolt assembly as well.

    Interesting, was about to take the plunge and buy a bolt action 223, may just wait and see the accuracy review on one of these first.

    I think a blazer system would work out more comfortable to use then the ar15 with charging handle on the side. Miss my old DD tho

    Everyone needs to start contacting National, ACT and any other party you're interested in and put pressure on them regarding some easing of firearms laws. We've got nothing to lose.

    Agreed, a friendly call or meeting with your MP to remind them that you are a single issue voter and if they don't pull finger they will lose your very vocal support is never amiss.

    Bagging the thin blue line, the force that keeps us separated from those dangerous animals, is non sensical when the alternatives are terrorists.
    If our folks in blue are that much of a hassle for you, what illegalities are you involved in?
    Are you serious?

    I suspect it's the police being around that keep those sorts alive. The alternative is dealing with this sort of thing ourselves. Have a look at what happened with the Glasgow razor gangs at the end of WWII when the boys came home for an illustration of what can be done.

    I just have a bitter taste in my mouth.
    It seems any time the police do anything they screw it up royally.

    What do they do to prevent crime?
    Not much, they arrest people who have already committed crime.

    I do see the police as being useful, just not so when shit really does go bad. As they just turn up afterwards on those occasions.
    If they could be run a bit better I would stop bagging them.
    Use enough gun

    ive thought about one especially with delta mikes new one, but for me i keep on coming back to whats the point for the money, your spending pretty much minimum 3k when ive already got a bolt 223 that i can use for hunting and i would feel like a complete cuck on the range trying to shoot a ipsc style course with one, maybe when i can justify spending the money on one after ive sorted out my other priorities ill get one...

    I remember looking at Aus with their restrictions back in the good old days and swore I’d never be cucked like that. Now that Aus is our reality I still feel the same way. Getting rid of labour and getting ACTs arms act across the line is the only return to centrefire ARs I’ll accept.

    Looks like you'd need to let the buffer spring carry it forward like a regular M4 and use the forward assist if trying to do it quietly. You can't just push on the charging handle.

    Be better off having the charging handle attached directly to the bolt.
