I'd be interested in your review upon arrival, I had been considering one of these as Scott is just up the road from me.

Is that your unloading drill for when you get a bullet stuck up the barrel...?

I am hoping that the rifle arrives before my next trip to Severnside. As soon as I have it in my mitts I shall take pictures and post my initial thoughts. I must say dealing with Feroza was an absolute pleasure, both her and Scott were very helpful indeed.

I, for one, look forward to seeing one of these splendid rifles (yours Ray, to be exact on our next range day mate), the feedback is overwhelmingly positive, both for the Rifle and Company involved, good to see in this day and age!
Camera will be with me again!

Just had word from the ever helpful Feroza that the shipment containing my rifle has been delayed a week (the shipping company changed the route of the shipment to go via London then to Glasgow which has meant a new permit is required) so no new addition to bring to Severnside next week :(

Ordered in .223 1 in 9 as I can mostly lay my hands on 55gr Barnul at a very reasonable cost, 16inch barrel, Magwell Adapter, Ar stock and adapter with ergo handgrip. Side rail mount and Red dot rail (will be sticking a second Vortex Strikefire on it) I got a FAB defense polymer hand guard set of a mate in the US who had a spare set. Have two mags SA80 RG and a Sabre Defense mag (bought for £15 each)

When I spoke with Feroza they haven't got them yet they are switching to a UK manufacture and when ready she will let me know as I am after one. She did say that the extended charging handle will be and easy to fit part.

I should imagine it will require some modification to the upper and screwed directly into the bolt side charging like ar15s. Cant wait im going to have one in 7.62 x 39
