    Nope these didn’t as far as I’m aware, the company made it as a Gen 5 Lee Enfield, but it’s a whole new rifle made from the ground up, awesome rifles one version even came with the M134 machine gun barrels but I think only about 150 were made.

    How are you finding it? They seemed to have a chequered history in OZ.
    I saw these come out years ago and thought they would be awesome but they died off over there with reports of dodgy importers and possibly poor engineering.
    That's why I'm asking as you have one and if they are any good I'd maybe look for one myself oneday.

    They are not legal for importation into the US since the majority of parts are made in Vietnam. They are strictly commercial products.

    Haven’t had any problems with it and the workmanship looks great as far as I can tell, where are you located? If you’re close by in Canterbury I’ll let you have a decent look at it and have a shoot

    Nope. The .224 Valkyrie does not interest me.
