I thought this was cool, until I saw the price. More than a real AR.

guncity just being guncity

Yup. It's a bit steep to pay that for a 17WSM in that configuration but hard to justify when there are other sporting semis in wmr out there for way less

wonder if there are magazines for "something else" of high capacity for sale on same shelf YET.......

Not saying you are wrong or that you do not have a point.

But, the ideologues that wish to further restrict legal gun ownership will do so regardless of what loopholes guncity tries to find to sell ars...

its called poking the sleeping bear.....

I wouldnt have one for a wart on my arse -end of stry .inever liked the m16design -a prick to fire cackhanded-(scars on chin to prove it) climbed like a mortgage interest rate on fullauto and a right c u next tuesday to clean.also a piss poor chainsaw for felling trees.now a good old SLRfor me please.this desaign is so dated shit a brick no doubt even the green party would want to market a version -vegan of course.

@Micky Duck well apart from at least three 22s that look zackerly like an AR, one retailer is also selling 22 semis that look like G3s AKs and several other types that wouldn't have been allowed just a few years back on appearances.
The bugger of a thing is in at least the case of the Tippmans, some of them are quite reliable and accurate

Bloody hell. Who in their right mind would pay that?

There have been rimfire AR 15s ever since the the great guy "buy back".
17wsm ARs came in quick smart to fill the void, along with many 22s and a bunch of straight pull centrefires.

go on educate me what is cool about it - looks like it would be a right pig to carry - real pain for a lying down shot with the pistol grip set up - so ?? what does it have going for it

Alot of money to just look cool. Alright for a photo of yourself walking up a river or something but practicality wise, there are plenty of better options.

I think it would be very practical in the right situations. My dad is full time pest controller and shoots for a helicopter outfit also, his main tool is an AR15 (a "proper" one) but there are situations where a centrefire is not practical and sometimes not allowed when completing contracts for doc etc. An example is a contract he has where he has to do a lot of shooting around the Mt Cook Hermitage and he is not allowed to use a centrefire. He started off with a CZ semi but got frustrated with it as it didn't fare well with high volume shooting and required fiddly breakdown for cleaning etc. I then showed him my Tippman and he went out and got one and reckons its awesome, it's the exact same feel, weight, operating controls etc as his ar15, he even runs the same ASE suppresor on it. He can use it in the dark no worries and is very familiar with it, he runs the same optics on it including thermal, he can pop the rear takedown pi, drop the bolt out and give it a wipe on his shirt in the dark without even looking. I think I've even heard him say "now if they made one of these in WMR they can take my money!"

yeah I think if I was going to spend that sort of money I would go for a Volquartson and decent scope - so much better to carry
