Give a man a gun and he can rob a bank.....give a man a bank and he can rob the world!.
More than a vested interest in 7.62x54r!

I really fancied one of these, but not at all keen on the green colour, pity black is not an option.

Thats what i have been trying to find out, + available calibres, barrel lengths and twist rates, but it's been said you have to phone or e-mail them, thought they would have a price list/option list on their web page. Anyone know if they will be at the Trafalgar this weekend.

They will not be at the Trafalgar due to other commitments.

The currently available calibres are; .222, .223, 6.5 Grendal and 7.62x39mm. 9mm should be available by the end of the year.
The standard twist rate on the .223 is 1 in 7, but 1 in 8 and 1 in 9 is also available on special order. The barrels are available in 16" or 18" on the rifle calibres. The 9mm will also be availabe in 12". Or you can obviously just chop the barrel to whatever length you want (12" or over).
If there's no investment in innovation, there will be no innovation. In 10 years time i'd like all straight pull rifles to be obsolete and trigger release to have replaced them
