I like the sound of this!

@KalashnikovNZ can the manual operating ones be retrofitted to semi?

Like most things, with the right skill level, you can make many things! Essentially, the gas port is missing and it is our understanding that you would need to be able to dismantle the gas system and drill the barrel for the correct dimension port [and in the right location]. The balance of the conversion would be the insertion of the gas cylinder and the piston. if you could do that, then you could most probably make a TIGR from scratch.

We'll see if the factory can offer more information on this for you - NZ Police were happy that this was not a simple conversion job for eh back-yard hobbyist.
