I don't think anyone is trying to stop anyone buying a pretendy AR, I don't sense any form of firearm bigotry on here. There are certainly strong preferences but I haven't seen anyone on here saying that people shouldn't have any legal gun they want, well not since nfrancis was posting here.safetyfirst wrote:Gosh, you know there's no other kind of rifle that can cause people to become so rude as an AR on this forum.
Please just let people buy and shoot whatever they like, if you see a thread about a rifle you don't like then please allow people the freedom to discuss it without having their thread derailed.
Not as fast as straight pull AR except maby an Enfield or a blazerAlpha1 wrote:I have to ask what is wrong with a bolt action .223.
With regards to the lmt, just get them to mill away the forward assist !longrange223 wrote:Thanks for the replies. I'm both considering purchasing a straigt pull upper, or convert one of my semi uppers to straight pull. Buying a finished one is of course the easiest. After some searching I've come up with the following manufacturers. Are there any other right side chargers that I'm missing?
- Bradley Arms
- Lantac
- Lewis Machine & Tool
- Southern Gun Company
Is a "slickside" upper preferrable? The LMT design in the picture below has kept the forward assist and part of the case deflector, but maybe that will be bothersome and get in the way when cycling the mechanism fast?
I am wondering about building my own upper using a regular barrel, so this is interesting. I will try to close the gas port on my rifle next time I'm on the range, and see if the extractions are tough. Hopefully that will give an idea if chamber polishing could be a thing.safetyfirst wrote:chamber polishing and carefully tuned bolts etc. The trick is to buy an upper from someone who makes them specially for straight pull operation I'd say.
Did a little reserach on the POF roller cam pins, and it seemed like they were meant for piston uppers. In case of a DI upper with a gas key, the gas key has to be taken off to mount/ diassemble the roller cam pin. That's not optimal for maintenance. Another option I found, that maybe could have worked, is the Hydra-Fire Roller Cam Pin, which can be assembled/ disassembled on regular bolt carriers.BamBam wrote:If building one yourself, remember to remove the gas rings from the bolt and installing a POF roller cam pin can smooth things out.
Does anybody happen to know what threads the different manufacturers use to connect their handles to the carrier? I read on some U.S. forums that side chargers using 1/4"-20 screws (1.270 mm pitch) more easily stripped, while this seldom was a problem with 1/4"-28 (0.907 mm pitch) due to finer threads. Armi Dallera Custom use M6x1 threads on their side chargers, which is quite fine. So if I were to do this project myself I think I would choose either two regular M5x0.8 or M6x1 hex screws. Common is always nice, easy to repair and find spares.
Pictures below are of a homemade side charging handle lent from a forum post at snipershide. Wonder how hard the carrier surface is.
No, we have proper ARs here in NZ. You can even have them on your basic (A Category) firearms licence provided they do not have a 'freestanding pistol grip', flash eliminator, bayonet lug, or a magazine that holds (or even appears to hold) more than 7 rounds. So you can't pin a 30 round magazine to only hold 7, for example, and still meet the requirements.dromia wrote:Do you have proper ARs in NZ or are they pretendy ones like we have here.
I'd have a proper one in a heartbeat if I could. However when it is just another single shot there are other far more interesting guns out their for me to play with.
