I really hope that the UK doesnt try and take these away from you folks over there. Seriously the AR platform is so versitile and at the very least you are able to own a straight pull varient or a .22 semi-auto

I'm sad to see a place that makes semi automatic unobtainable in an ar15 platform in 5.56 but im glad to see that there are many...kind of adaptations so you can still use the platform, even not in its full form nice demonstration ive never understood british gun laws but im glad to learn just a bit more about someone else's gun laws.

Nice! Thanks and let us know how you get on!

I find it fascinating that there aren't any magazine restrictions in the UK. In many US states, the magazine capacity limit is 10-15 rounds. Alot of states don't have them but i find the mentality difference fascinating. The UK gun control mentality seems to focus on action types and mechanical restrictions rather than magazine limits as an experienced shooter can reload quickly. American gun laws also seem to focus on the appearance of a gun rather than its functionality.

Like U.K. and its views on moderators in the U.K. we are encouraged to have them it’s not even a licenced part on shotguns it is on rifles but that will change soon I believe

If you can get a side charging upper from Bear Creek Arsenal the easy way is just taking a bare gas block and mounting it backwards so the gas port is blocked. I do this on my AR chambered in 300HAMR. The added benefit that I seldom hear mentioned is that without gas being wasted the accuracy is much more consistent and muzzle velocity is a skosh faster. With the exceptional accuracy and effectiveness of the 300HAMR round I have no need for rapid fire capability.

Hey, at least your bolt and receiver stays cleaner after more rounds than one with the gas system installed

Build out your rifle using mostly standard components. Swap the standard upper receiver and BCG for side charging versions. Forget any gas system components. Either find a way to sealnthe gas port or get a custom barrel without a port. I think you could skip the buffer and spring too, but your bolt would only return to battery manually. I'm thinking of doing this for a moose and caribou gun when I get to Alaska.

Very interesting.... a single shot AR-15.. great for country's and state's with restricted laws.. but honestly I'll stall with my semiautomatic..

amazing how they can turn an ar 15 into basically a bolt gun

As the AR15 is now prohibited in Canada, straight pull will be a big deal here. If you get a chance, check out the Maple Ridge Renegade. It's probably one of the absolute best straight pull rifles on the market.

Hi, I dont have a Ruger rifle to compare to but I do have a bolt gun. However accuracy is really more about the specific gun itself rather than the type of action. There will be bolt guns that are way more accurate than a straight pull and there will be straight pulls that are way more accurate than most bolt guns. Due to so many other factors. What I will say is, a good quality (and usually expensive) bolt gun will in MOST cases be more accurate than the majority of AR15 pattern rifles (so that includes straight pulls). As with most things though there is no "one size fits all"

The rifle itself is no longer in production. It was made by a company called Decade Corp who just shipped in AR's from the States I believe. They are out of business now though but there are other UK based manufacturers such as Southern Gun Company and many others. The scope is a Vortex Strike Eagle 1-6 which is purpose built for the AR platform. Other parts are a VISM Grip, Magpul MOE SL stock, Hera Arms muzzle break, ambidexterous charge handle, Jewell Match Trigger and then I have a Quad Rail with Magpul rail covers but I am thinking of swapping this for an M-Lok handguard.

Hello, the manufacturer no longer exsists. However there are several others who make the AR15 in the UK such as Guncraft, Southern Gun Company and Schmeiser. There are also other smaller shops etc who make custom made AR's.

I've only seen 1 of these rifles before in a movie (The Town with ben Affleck) s.w.a.t officer uses a rifle and then pulls the charging handle back. At first it didn't make sense (unless he had a problem with the round) until I watched your video and connected the dots!! Thanks for the info 👍 On the other hand that sucks you guys can't have handguns or semi auto, full auto is expensive and a hassle to deal with (5 minutes to fill a mag, 2.8 seconds to empty it all)🇺🇸
