Application / Regulation advice Question about purchase risk?

So I have just got my PAL and I am mostly looking at buying a bolt-action historic rifle out of interest in owning one and shooting it probably a couple times a year.

One thing that has struck me is the posts about the new Mikasi and another which has a similar vibe to it. Are those of you purchasing these mostly just eating the risk of more confusing and random bans, or is there something about these rifles that make them a more safe purchase?

I was googling if it was possible to get a 22lr M1 Clone, which I found, only to realise it had been banned as part of sweeping regulation on M1 Carbine-appearing rifles, which is about as nonsensical as it gets.

You can get a ruger 10/22 then buy a conversion kit and do it yourself
