True...!
I wonder why they didn't just go with a pump-action, though - I understand those are already available (never seen one though)...

Pump action centre-fire rifles are banned in the UK. I had to give up my beloved Colt Lightning. There are a number of straight-pull conversions of AR's and Mini-14's available here.

The Yard had a Registration List. He got a Letter. He had to "turn it in" (have it stolen at gunpoint by the .gov) or get The Tower...
