But it's all part of the fun, I just think that when you're bored with it you'll lose money selling it or find it very hard to shift. Otherwsie we'd have seen more of .22WMR Ruger 10/22s in the UK, which I would rather have as they won't cost as much as an AR, parts are easier to come by and the only down side is they hold 9 in the mag against 14 of the AR offering.
Spot on that.
Although I still really want one.

If we're doing bullpups in .22WMR, I'd like one that was 605mm in total length.

Rather specific? Just so it was as small as it possible could be while remaining legal length?
I hope NWCS/Wayne is going to import a serious amount of ammo for these guns as they are something I'd be interrsted in but only if I could reliably feed it. I've been keeping an eye out for .22wmr recently and have only seen it in small quantities and all of it has been expanding

BTW. official FB terminology is PARP gun (Pretendy Armalite Rifle Platform) or ARSP (Armalite Rifle Straight Pull)
The muzzle loading wizard will be out of his bowl of porridge soon and you'll see why.

The only advantage I can see is that the fired magnum brass suits reforming to projectiles (bullets to you!) better than the shorter rimfire cases.

Absolutely, so I could carry it in a backpack and ride my bike to the range. When I get a new bike that is.

So..what you need is L85AFV with extra but pad...can be done...most expensive will be "skin donor"-the worst job is trigger...
