One of the guys in the club bought an STG-44 straight pull. Yep, £4K custom rifle. It is rough as anything and perfectly replicates the proper version I had a go of a couple or three decades ago. He is really pleased with it. It is what it is.

Mini 14.
Not the most accurate in the world, but great fun, and look cool as heck.

Oh, the Mini 14!
We had a thread on here years ago. It was a “boomerang” between pe4king and myself. Every time one of us owned it, we did a little more customisation. Until it really could shoot half decently.
Ovenpaa lost a bet over that rifle...!!

I’ve fired a straight pull Imbel and a L1A1 and the extraction was.....er....”a bit of an effort” on both, don’t know if it was down to the ammo/cases but compared to my SVD they required a lot more effort.The 54r case has more of a taper than 7.62x51 NATO/.308 Winchester so that may make a difference.Practical shooter wrote:Has anyone used the straight pull fal

Oh yes owned 2 both were excellent shooters no extraction issues. If your thinking of getting one go for the 20" barrel version which is the standard the others are the Congo & Wasp they can kick.Practical shooter wrote:Has anyone used the straight pull fal
