Sub Compact Bolt Action Rifles - Why?

Would be nice to have these compact units available here, but who knows the kind of BS to get them in. Easy to make sub compact with a barrel swap & shorter handguard. I'd like the SP25 version meself with a 16" tube in 375 Raptor. ;)

What does the SP25 do that the Canadian made straight pull AR's don't do?

Not sure what you are referring to Dan?

Are you referring to the spring that runs the bolt forward and chambers a round? Or some other technology that actually reloads the gun?

If we are talking remington sp25's, a gas powered bolt reloads them, and that is on the pohib list here. Unless I have the model name wrong, which is always a possibility. - dan

Thanks for clearing that up Dan!

I'll have to check out the Rem sp25,I didn't catch the double reference in ShellShuckers post where he seemed to be pinning for a compact straight pull rifle that can use AR parts like the Aussie unit in the video he embedded..... I assumed the Aussie Straight Pull gun in the video was an SP25.


Edit, quick search does not bring any results for a Remington SP25, It looks like the Oceania Precision SP-25 is the model name for the Aussie Straight Pull that is in the video..... not shure how it differs from the straight pull AR style bolts currently made and sold in Canada but hopefully ShellShucker will weigh in.

The Oceania SP15 in the video is the .223 action. The SP25 is the 308 sized version. If there be makers in Kanuckistan that make a unit that
has the same layout as these & with the same build quality, I would be interested. With all the gun ban crap going on now, that interest could
easily be just a dream.
f:P:

To add, the Remington semi auto AR10 based rifles are the model R-25 units.

There is another company as well that makes straight pull bolt action receivers for AR parts but the name escapes me right now. Macabee maybe?


MRA sells receiver kits so you can swap over your own AR parts or you can buy complete builds from them directly.
 
When you've got a forward pistol grip and you want the minimum overall length possible, a pump-action bull-pup is the logical choice.

So maybe a subcompact rifle shouldn't be categorized by barrel length but by a maximum overall length instead. If so, then by what length? Should rifles with folding stocks be excluded?

If you mean how should they be categorized legally, personally I wouldn't make any stipulation. Short bolt action rifles are not a public safety issue except in the minds of fanatics and control freaks.

To your first sentence: no, legally is not what I meant.
To your second sentence: ain't that the truth.
