Looks nice, but it would have to be £2K cheaper to get my interest.
EDIT - I've just noticed the handle on the left, I think I'd prefer the V.Z.58 now I've seen that.

Not sure what the issue is with the side cocking handle, its infinitely more useable than the T-handle of a normal AR. Or are you being purist tarts? :lol:
Still prefer the VZ58 though tongueout
N.B. If the bolt isn't captured by the mechanism, the hammer isn't cocked so fannying with the sear is going to get you anywhere other than back to SGC to have it replaced

Well, good luck with it anyway; too rich for my blood. I'd pay good money for conversion on mine though.

It's not a straight pull, so I see no reason for 2 cocking handles.

nice looking gun - but his customer service is the pits - so there is no way I would put £5K into anything from SGC - think its a V.Z.58 for me too.
