Feets / Collection / My build Australia’s weird AR pump/straight-pull

Had this for a couple months and ran about five hundred rounds through it. The original pump handles are goofy big but removing the lower one really improves ergonomics and lets you shoot off a bag a bit easier. It also lets your hand do the whole c-clamp thing if that’s your style.

It’s personally hard to justify double the cost to upgrade to the newest thing hitting the market when this has been working great for me personally.

No one prefers this over an ar15 or any other 556 semi. In case you haven’t noticed, all of the popular semi auto rifles were banned and are currently safe queens.

I don’t prefer it. Just can’t justify jumping on the band wagon for a different coyote gun/range thing right now. It’s more of a “well it does the job” and my son shoots the crap out of it.

Maybe the meme didn’t quite land for you, but Bart isn’t excited in that scene.

You’re in the Canada guns sub bud. You have a handful of options. Taipan, Troy and Renegade are your “AR” options if you’re not into .22

The list of semi auto .223, .300, .308 grows shorter every day. And I’ll say it and get down voted but the SKS is the biggest cope rifle in the country right now. It does the job.
