Lector, good job on the facts revealed in your post. Most of the facts match what I knew from other sources.

Dr.Lector the psycho,
You remember you have promised me a legal 10-22 bullpup, don't you? If you don't remember, there are witnesses to testify: Tom Grant and all his crew. And many others. Maybe you hope I forgot about it, but I didn't. And regarding the 10-22 bullpup you can't come up with stories or shift the responsibility.
Just get me one and I'll leave you alone.

I was wondering when I'd receive another CSSA Journal...I guess next week. I too would be up for culling the herd to make space (and $) for the bullpuppy in question. If only to squeeze off one round every 1.0 seconds and wield it in the general direction* of Mr. Grumpy at Victoria Fish and Game.

*-As in "I fart in your general direction"
 
If someone were to get their hands on one of the early RESTRICTED models ... what would the suitable value be? Given that the new 18.5" models are suppoed to be at the $800 mark, than the restricted ones should be cheaper perhaps?

Any thoughts on this?

The model in the ad was a restricted version
 
a bullpup .22 stock stock designed using a proprietary trigger housing built into the stock and non removable would be legal in regards to a 10/22....

basically you would have to design it so that only the upper of the 10/22 was used and that the trigger mech was built into the stock design and so that the rifle could not be fired out of the stock....

correct ??
 
As I see it from dealing with the FRT section, the gun must be of "modular bullpup design". Basically the stock and the receiver must be the same, a la the Tavor, T97, etc.

That is very interesting. After reading all the threads about bullpups, I might add that the upper receiver should be new build (as in NOT modified from an original one) and it should not accept a regular 10-22 trigger group.
There we have it. Thanks Westicle!
I wonder if Lector's bullpup was built like that. I just received news that he is on a business trip in Europe. I can't wait to see that bullpup.

In that case, it wouldn't be a 10/22, but a new design.
As far as modular design goes, a lower receiver group containing the ergonomic, fire control and feed components would be modular. Whether or not it would be acceptable to the powers that be is anyone's guess. Such a unit would certainly not be an aftermarket stock into which the complete factory barrelled action is assembled.
 
Being an importer is not rocket science, just do the paperwork, and have the money.

I want a non-restricted (proper civilian export) version of this rifle, some "importer" had better show me a reasonable price list, or I will bring them in myself. [throws down the gauntlet] :pirate: :D

I'm looking forward to reading that article.;)
As of Thursday, my issue has not arrived.

WELL..........

My issue finally arrived, a week later (Thurs Sept 13)

Naturally I am interested in seeing how my article looks in print.
Imagine my surprise when I see the table of contents refer to the "Tavor 97A", from Isreali Weapons Industries.

Somehow, the heading managed to get mangled to imply that the article is about one gun only, not on the TWO new bullpups on the market.
Fortunately, the main text portion of the article is intact.
But the really goofy part is that none of the photos of the Type 97A that I supplied were used. Only 3 photos of the Tavor are printed, so the reader cannot see what I am refering to in regards to the Chinese gun.
This is particularly unfortunate, as I made a special trip into Vancouver to photgraph the internal parts of the Type 97A a few days after the range shoot.
Oh well, such is the case when starting up a new publication, I suppose.

Oh yeah, there was also supposed to be the first installment of the new Know Your Shooting Sport series also. Somehow, it got spiked too.
 
I got my issue on Wednesday. I wish someone would actually proofread what they send out. The plea for funds "We Need Ammo" contains the classic line-

"Make No Mistake, The Next Election Will Be Crutial To Your Right To Own Firearms"

Glad you took one for the team. :D
Now someone give me a price list.
 
I have visited Lever Arms several times.
I was left alone to browse when I wanted.
I was also asked if I had any questions or needed any help as well.
They make an effort to keep 7.62 x 39 ammo in stock at a good price.


While I agree that there are more overtly friendly shops in Vancouver, I really hope they can bring in this rifle. We need to support the dealers, not bash them.
