Now is that a sign that modern military kit is in short supply, or that there are jihadis who are firearms enthusiasts?

I think the guys in the pic are Syrian rebels, and are using anything that will go bang I suppose.That Garand looks to be in good condition and the guy has what look like original bandoliers for it so I wonder if it has been lifted from a museum or collection.

Or it's a gift from Iran, Israel, Saudi Arabia or Jordan from their old stocks.

How can you tell they are Syrian rebels? The cut of the balaclava? The shade of black? Or that they aren't wearing US desert boots captured from the Iraqis?

No, the picture was taken in Brighton local shooting club at the last CSR comp last sunday. Since Caroline Lucas was elected as the Green Party MP, wearing a balaclava & not carrying any form of ID is now "de rigueur" for all the currently frighten & persecuted competitors awaiting for the out-come of their "persecuted refugees" status from the Swiss & Czech embassies ...

You're on the wrong forums, try ones centered around connecticut and you mind find some info and and yeah you didn't fall, but I think I've found your bat-signal.

And there is a good reason to wait. A reason that makes ownership more likely. I stumbled on it really. It was all one big accident really.

So the information is already out there in the public domain via "Internet Land" and you are playing at "keeping secret"....? A bit of effort with a couple of search engines would obviously turn it up in that case.

Surely you can see why the Bull$hIt Meter is reaching the top of the scale for some....

You make a good point !!

So, Sixshot - if its already on the internet, where is the harm in giving us a link ?

Its either a secret or its not a secret ???

Interesting .... I have also heard persistent rumours of a few potentially UK Sec1 compliant "Interrupted Semi" designs eminating from the States, via some Fal-files mates, (lever, not trigger by all accounts) I would love to be able to see something tangible though, instead of just rumour control bulletins !

I probably had a hand in those. And what are they taking about. Show me the posts? What I do know guys is be patient, you'll see the proof of concept for what I've talked about in the second week of June. Its gonna be an AR10 for the proof of concept, so with that keep an open mind as it will be just that, not a full production prototype. I'll link to it when it appears and yes I have got someone interested on the UK end who might even be able to find a US company to get them built on a larger scale, not just for us, but NY, CA as well as CT.

So lets all wait. We can fight like ferrets in a sack afterwards. Plus the guy told me it wasn't a lever or MARS and was pretty ambi i.e. lefty user friendly too.

Its only partly public domain also. The guy has mentioned he's making on the forum he's on, but he's not said alot more Sim G. I'll explain a bit more, he would have liked to have unveiled it sooner..... but he's had to wait until the second week of June, why you ask? In the guys own words "if I act not, the legislators might do what they did with Stag when they brought out the 22lr AR's in CT and legislate against them". The session for the CT lawmakers ends next week. Would you rather our chances of having it be better Sim?

I might as well show the links where they start talking about and I will, just give me a sec.

Here is the post

http://www.ctguntalk.com/smf/index.php?action=forum

You'll all see an interaction between me and the forum members emerge. After a while Madsmith, the gunbuilder mentions a system he's working on. The more detailed stuff is in my PMs. And I don't see why I should reveal those at all. But my conscience is clear now. So turn the bull s*** meter off. Its all true.

Looks too Metro-sexual for Brighton (even they have their limits).

My info comes via an exchange of pm's over on the files (and an informative discussion with a UK based RFD).....very interesting times people......one issue for any US designed "semi/interrupt" is the extra hoops it will have to jump through to satisfy the Home Office.

By way of example, an AR based interrupter will have to have steps taken to ensure the upper can't be made to work with an equivalent UK based straight pull AR lower....any subsequent re-engineering will adversely affect the retail price.

I very much look forward to June!

thats why I wanted to get this guy in touch with a company with good manufacture. Hell they made a legal AR15 for their state they are based and still made it harder to put a 223 upper even though the law didn't require it (they are very careful like that). I had one idea that I formed as the guy also said it might work with an AK based system. That got me thinking. The US 89 and 98 import bans don't apply to manual ops or pistols (see those pump action Ak's that came into the US in the early 2000's) and as such don't have to have the stuff like only taking a 10 round single stack mag and then needing modifying when in the US. The proposal I have there is for both the UK and US AK versions be made somewhere like the Cugir plant (if anyone knows how to pull that off). Does that part of my idea sound feasible for both countries? But first lets see his proof of concept and yes the RFD I won't name might have some idea to get it going smoothly. Do remember interest also exists in ban sates like CT, NY and CA so I feel its a good opportunity to get a system made that is actually relatively affordable for once.
