That is the best bet, it just needs either the stock fixing (its oal when fully collapsed is 22.5 inches) a brake welded on the threads that is about 2 inches long or a new uk legal barrel. I mean rudefatdog on their facebook page was on about a uk legal KSG that would be the worst thing to come here. Somebody talk some sense into him or someone else and get us the CMR carbine. It would be ace.
Just looked at and my eyes are bleeding!......it looks hideous!!!*

The Ketec CMR-30 just needs an AR buffer tube grafted to the rear of the reciever, then it will make Min OAL easily. Be a better cheek weld too methinks.

The factory stock looks kinda like an MP5 stock to be fair maybe?
Review here

Also the concept seems to have been around for a while

It seems like alot of Kel tec concepts date from George Kellgren's time with other companies. I wonder why he's never tried to revive the old tec 9 (I know a crap pistol and controversial at best). He also seems to try and improve things as well.

If you think a MP5 provides a good cheek weld then carry on, but I've seen a few people turn up with a M4 adapter on their rimfire MP5 at the range. It might be an airsoft part for all I know, but they seem to like it.

I wasn't saying it was a good one, in fact it looks god damn awful to me. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. I just don't know if an AR stock adapter exists for a CMR 30 yet. Could be knocked up easily enough. Just wondering who we talk to about getting some into the UK, that would be a start.

Adler/Armi-Jager AP80, rare in .22wmr as most are .22lr.Production ended in the early 90s so they are getting on a bit now.
Mine in .22lr

I just saw a review of the CMR-30 on the YouTube Military Arms Channel. I would love to have one but unless they welded the 2 inch muzzle brake before they were imported, sadly they would stay section 5 would they not?

Correct that is what I was trying to get at, either a longer barrel or a 2 inch brake welded on (pinned too before the welding to make things a little more sure). That is the most cost effective option and brakes that long do exist. With that out the way, its a case of actually finding someone to import them now.
