LOL a 410 AR-15!
Now that sounds like fun!

Imagine if it would cycle .45 colt too!

If you take a look at the barrelled upper photo without the handguards, it looks like they are using a variation of the VZ 52 (52/57) gas system. Hard to tell but if so an interesting approach!

I like, How much?

This was posted some time back. Apparently very expensive.

They retail in Czech for 1265 based on today's exchange rate.

By the time a dealer has it here its on par with a 223. Who needs a restricted 410 that cost that much? Not many people.

Are these not the legal AR's for the Brits? As they can own shotguns and this one qualifies as such?

Seen them, had them offered to us. Price was near US rifle prices, for a 410. I think these might be good where:

1: you can hunt with you AR (USA etc)
2: you are not allowed to own a semi rifle. (Turkey, etc)

But for Canada, I think the market for restricted .410 which cost as much as a rifle, would be extremely limited, to say the least!

The quality on those was NOT equivalent to the pricing they were asking... not really a viable product for Canada.

The Turks do make what appears to be a very nice AR in Mil-Spec (or as close as can be expected) quality... the specs look very good... but the pricing is simply not competitive.

They are higher priced than US guns and the import costs are higher as well. Just doesn't make much sense.

They are offered in 10.5", 14.5" 16" and 20" (CHF barrels, etc.).
