I’d definitely be interested in a bolt-action-like AR. I like the idea behind the Troy PAR but I’m not a pump fan in rifles.

Could I suggest that money could be made from conversion kits for PAR/SAR in pistol calibres? Bolt face + magwell block + barrel?
It makes sense for Troy because there are people that would prefer this setup off a bench and the bench accuracy potential is there for the PAR-SAR.
Pretty easy production modification and likely cheaper to produce and less weight. Looks like they are offering it in 14.5" and 16".

Our Government trusts rivets more then law abiding gun owners.
Try shooting a PAR laying prone.
SAR is a niche gun, but very cool. Good on Troy for being innovative.
Licensing in Aus (According to this TIME article: http://time.com/4172274/what-its-lik...gun-control/):
"Category A is .22s, shotguns and air rifles. That’s the easiest license to obtain. No semiautomatics are allowed.
Category B is for center fire rifles. You have to provide a reason for why you need a more powerful gun. I shoot feral pigs and foxes; that’s a valid reason. Again, no semiautomatics.
Category C is available only to farmers; they can own a semiautomatic shotgun or .22 but the cartridges are limited to five shots for the shotgun and 10 shots for the .22.
Category D, for semiautomatic guns and rifles, is only for professional shooters: you have to have a registered business and prove that you are earning an income through shooting.
An H license is for handguns. If you want to buy a pistol in Australia you’ve got to be a member of a target pistol club. You’ve got to do a minimum of eight competition shoots per year to keep your license. If you don’t, you lose it.
Category G is for collectors. For that you’ve got to attend at least one meeting per year."
Seems that only farmers and professional shooters are allowed semis. I could be wrong, but thats the way this article portrays it.

Looks to have a spring under the handguard, so straight pull back and let go to chamber the next round?
I hope its a simple barrel swap to 10 inches and then do a fixed stock for OAL requirements. Nice short barrelled Bush gun.
I find it very cool that Troy is working around state restrictions with these interesting PAR and SAR rifles.
But I am also terrified that this may become the future of AR style rifles here in Canada.
I have mixed feelings about these obviously.
Anxiousness is the axeman of accuracy.
