More choice :good:

Doubt i'd pay out for a Kel-tec though. Why no one has brought out a .22WMR AR-15 i don't know 5mith I know at one time Sabre Defence were looking to bring out a FAL/SLR copy in that calibre but it just never got off the ground. :cry:

Even worse- I believe that FAL/SLR made it to prototype stage as I remember reading a review of one a while back.

I had a 22WMR AK - made in Italy.

Fun gun - but not get any magazines for it. It eventually fell apart and got binned. Pity

Alexander Arms were looking at it. They have one in .17 HMR but we're having issues if memory serves, with the reliability of the straight walled .22WMR. The bottle neck of the .17 obviously aids reliability immensely. Bill Alexander is a former Brit army armourer and is well aware of the UK scene. Rumour was that he really wanted it to work, but it didn't....
In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?

Guns dont kill people. Dads with pretty Daughters do...!

I heard that too from someone who seemed to know bill a bit, but he gave up and focused more on his US sales stuff and who could blame him. To be fair the most reliable rimfire that isn't a 22lr out there appears to be the 17WSM super magnum that Franklin armory makes, but we can't have it for it legal reasons.

The CMR-30 gets good reviews though, only downside was in Hank strange's review where he seemed to think the manual wasn't enough of a good picture for how to clean and look after it. Upside Hank himself did show what to do.
