Alloy should be forged

The bolt looks to be based off the ar-18 rather than the ar-15, meaning that it doesn't need a buffer tube. If a short stroke piston was added (which is what the ar-18 uses) it could possibly function as a semi auto, depending on other factors such as being able to fit the piston and the trigger group having a semi disconnector. Obviously you wouldn't convert it, just saying.

Probably could also be converted fairly easily using electronics, if someone wanted to go down that path (microphone, linear actuator, Arduino type of deal) That said given the price reductions in CNC machines, improvements in 3D printing and their associated price reductions, internet availability etc people converting registered firearms is probably going to be the least of the gun control advocates worries, or at least it should be.

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ndKTqLaBsqeleKc.html, if the kiwis can do it with a lee, "we" can do it with an "ar180"

Okay, but thinking from a realistic and practical sense, why would anyone spend $3200 on a straight pull bolt action to attempt to convert it to semi-auto when to so risks damaging it to the point of rendering it inoperable or unsafe in the first place. And in the event that it was stolen, do you really expect organised criminals who can import semi-autos through porous borders with far greater ease than gunsmithing a rifle that was never designed to be semi-auto into a semi-auto would bother doing so? Just because some NZers managed cobble some together doesn't mean it's worth destroying a $3k rifle to do so when all you'll get out of the bargain is WLB putting you in prison

its an ar180 without a gas system, the argument is not about a "would you", but a could you. and im sure you could...well not YOU.

haha these were built from the bottom as a straight pull if you think that's tragic check out what one Aussie gun company did to the Ruger 10/22

Or worse a Chev bowtie badge on your Commodore..

Or a straight pull thats made to look like a mil spec semi auto. I don't see the sence in it.

More surface area to grab on when reloading, and it just looks better.

More grab room for mag reload, can use it as a grip and imo looks nicer

@@Rumpole1000 So you can the combustibility and ergonomics of an AR platform in places (like Aus) where semi auto ARs are not widely available. Also, some people just want something different to from the turn bolts and levers every other guy at the range has.

Adam I’ve talked to a bunch of Australian manufacturers either in person or through messages and they are all not will to make a rifle which they see have the potential to be banned as it isn’t cheap to have r&d on top of tooling up and paying staff for something you may not get a return on because you making it has made the action banned. While I don’t see lever releases going anywhere any time soon I also don’t see anyone making one that looks like this at least. If you really want a lever release that looks like this I would look into getting a gun Smith to do it for you legally but be warned it isn’t a cheap exercise.

@@CrazyDog651 A cheap way might be to use an hpa tank to cycle the bolt. Just add an extra button to the lower and that should pretty much do it.

@@RNA0ROGER It may work and an extra button isn't needed you just need to alter the bolt release it will look ugly and i'm not to sure if it legally needs to be done by a gunsmith.

@@CrazyDog651 To be clear my idea is nothing more than a simple attachment. No part of the gun is modified in anyway.

Is that #10 option rhc?

ItsRiles I’ve had great accuracy results reloading with 62gr Hornady TAP’s - they seem to really suit the platform fantastically well.

Owned used and worked on both, the 7615p is a lemon, I only own one unfired as a collectors item.

@@stevedevice1866 yer that's fair enough I guess. The 7615 of mine has run 4 or 5 thousand rounds and it's been great and not one malfunction. Not to say they're all the same though I guess. Cheers mate.

@@davidfreese7681 I like to be able to take a shot at 150m+ with a 223, every non rebarrelled 7615 I've ever used puts em in a dinner plate at 150, not good. Up close, fine, but I'd rather have something else than 223 for up close. shrugs, each to their own cheers!

Unfortunately yes

ozziereviews does that just mean in NSW we can’t get it at all or is it just under a different class?

matt boxwell I believe it’s a prohibited weapons or cat d in NSW, I’m not 100% sure in the classifications down there other then don’t go over the border with anything that doesn’t look like a normal bolt action hunting rifle

Painted pink it's a cat b

@Moscow Man not allowed

@Moscow Man yea im not sure if thats in australia It looks like its from God himself

@Moscow Man yea australia is a joke

5 round limit? God we live in a strange world. So you can have semi autos there, but only 5 rounds. We can buy 50BMG’s but can’t have silencers. Other countries require you to use silencers. In France you can’t have a 308 or 223 because they are “military calibres”.

certianly i would buy one.

It would need a gas system and be even more expensive.

I believe it’s due to the look being too similar to R class rifles for NSW. Other states have similar restrictions for look but don’t have an issue with this beast.

Because obviously in Australia we are all total phsycopaths who have no self control & can no longer even be trusted with toy gun without a gun license (that part is not a joke) obviously the moment we got our hands on any type of semi-auto rifle we would all go total ape shit with it & murder every living thing in sight, that's if we were competent enough not to blow our own heads off first. I heard the goverment will be making all food come in bite sized pices soon so they can more easily ban all knives. lol

Action smoothness, compatibility with AR accessories, modular upper receivers are a few advantages.

If you buy the "off the market part" can you run dual left and right?

that would be illegal because its illegal to modify your firearms (which is just unaustralian evelyn owen is turning in his grave) and it would move it to a category D

Illegal, can be done but I hope you like prison food if you choose to do it.

​@@NovusRex1788 I am doing an internship for a company that has authorization up to prescribed weapons. So I mean I would not do this personally. But I kind it kind of unthinkable this would be considered semi auto. Since the energy used to cycle the action would be entirely external.

@@RNA0ROGER if it ejects the round and then pushes another round into battery with one pull of the trigger then it is a self-loader and a cat D no matter where the force is coming from.

@@RNA0ROGER That then comes down to the definition of semi auto by the state its in that's why revolving carbines are illegal in NSW even though they don't use gas to cycle at all.

Adam who knows in WA. They just make shit up on the fly ,don’t they? Worst state to be a gun owner.

@@Luke-mz5zt I did some research on this gun this morning, prohibited in WA...dont get it, its single loaded gun, will not do more damage than any other bolt action rifles...probably just because it looks like an assault rifle...

Adam I’m of the understand that they don’t like the over all look of the rifle on top of the fact that they don’t like AR-15’s magazines which is the reason why you can’t get a 7615 in .223 over there but the 7600 in .308 is fine. Hope this helps.

@@CrazyDog651 hey mate Remington you were referring to?

@@adam8074 Yeah the Remington 7615 is legal in every state but WA because it uses AR-15 mags so my guess this would be the same for this rifle

Yes, classed under the B licence as he mentioned in most states. Which is good because I now want one LOL

@ABCD ABCD you gotta move man

Max mag capacity of 15 rounds unless you have cat d license ( so semi auto rifles ) in qld

@@evictedsociety7709 better than the 10 in NSW

@@NovusRex1788 15 round for rimfire in nsw

Cat A in qld have no mag limit but EVERYTHING else is 10rnd limited

not my state, its state by state like the us

Cat B is 10 rounds for rifles.

Would love to see a review on the cz515, even though I’ve already put one on hold lol

3-3.5

That was only temp restrictions. I know this is 2 years old now but even the announcement said it was only temporary.

There's also the Ripley range at Ipswich, good 300m range and not as strict as Belmont.

And QMRC at the 300 meter. RANGE beyond the Archery and Cannon Hill Range.

Good one mate!

No. Banned under appearance laws.

@@B61Mod12 wait what the hell?

Yes

14"

because of the styling

No there might be another mass murder by john howard.

The operating mechanism and a ten round mag would be cat b in Tasmania but unfortunately it resembles the regular AR15 too much so has been either classified cat D or refused classification.

nope

@@jasoar1563 the thing that makes no sense to me is this isn't legal, but the berika is.

Average Aussie don’t try and makes sense of it, because it doesn’t, like juniors licence holders allowed semi auto .22 and pump action shot guns, til they’re 18, then you’re not allowed to have it. It’s actually batshit crazy.

Our laws don't make sense but any attempt to move pumps and semi auto .22 out of c and d is watering them down some how.. this country is no safer than it was pre 96

Jaso AR15 nope, they're full blown retarded. Journalists and politicians literally shit themselves when law abiding citizens ask to have some kind of consistency with gun laws, but when it comes to criminal gangs accessing illegal assault style rifles, they shrug shoulders, and have a stupid look of resignation on their faces. Shits me.

No

Not legal in Australia

Unfortunately I wouldn't prefer a Verney because for $3500 it's accuracy was terrible from my testing. So it's $3500 for either (a) an Australian made Warwick WFA1-L that I can shoot a 0.3" group with 3-shots @ 100 or (b) a French owned Verney Carron that I can't get any better than 1.5" for 3-shots at the same distance? For me the choice is easy = A.

@@ozziereviews Support the country that supports you, I agree, the latest pandemic is a good reminder. Now few contentious points, let's be sport! The exact same VC308 synthetic, just under $3000 not $3500! Now accuracy, it is purpose built rifle for moving game it is not design to be BR! it is accurate under MOA with most ammunitions. Norma is working with Verney Carron on all their r&d and tend to give excellent result. Usually most owners are happy when the rifle give them 2cm @ 100m and you did not find it, that's ok. For hunting purpose it's more than adequate and able you to shoot at 300m or more but it's not the philosophy of use of this weapon! See video of Shooting stuff Australia. Now VC give 5 or 6 years warranty, from experience not all manufacturers give you that! Also the gas system can be tune to the ammo and the port sometime needs a clean. Now $3500 for a straight pull Warwick is pulling you're leg. Now The VC system is as close you can be to a semi, it's more efficient and ergonomic than any straight pull system. May be Warwick should look in that direction.... People cry because the authorities castrated them by tooking their semi or prevent them to have some thematic accessories or ban suppressor...but when a company bring some real innovation to the market to remidy the censorship the very same people (in the comments section) start booing because it's not like the good ol' days... I find it a bit tiring. Anyway, love your work and what you do for our sport. Happy Australia day!

wouldn't we all but i've heard that Warwick said they wont do it

Given they were banned not that long ago in the UK and the NT's attempted reclassification, you can see why local gun makers who don't have Thales money to play with aren't going to take that kind of risk.

Burkutace27 meh that a22r has been out for a white and they’ve succeeded in fighting of reclassification. It’s a worthwhile risk
