Is his shop in London an actual bunker though? The facility I met him in in Oxfordshire was a disused Cold War RAF bunker, now used to manufacture barrels and magazines.

Just found this one on Gun Star for £760, which is the cheepest I have seen, by far - I note it does not say that it is an Armalon conversion.

Are you an NRA member?

We have two in the armoury for hire, one in 9mm and one in .45" LC (I think).

I don't think it is an Armalon conversion.
On all the Armalon PC rifles I have seen the mag is much further forward, and the mag release is different. In this one the mag is hard up against the trigger guard?

It might work fine of course.

The position of the magazine means its a similar modification as the De Lisle was, and as has been pointed out not an Armalon.

I'd take it. :good:

No, not another one!

Yes, afraid so collecting my 9mm Armalon from the Oxfordshire bunker on Friday.

Convinced myself that l need it and l am really looking forward to shooting it this Friday night at Glevum Club.

Will report accordingly, now what's the next one on the list?

How are you finding it now you've had a chance to shoot it ?

I'm thinking about getting one myself, so I'm really interested in how reliable the feeding/extraction/ejection is.

Certainly on paper it looks like a nice alternative to another lever action, so it would be nice to hear a range report.
