The gun that sums up specialist rearms best is undoubtedly the mann-opp, hybrid AR15, here we see the authors Southern Gun Co custom Speedmaster

Special Firearms Guide

Welcome to the Special Firearms Guide, which takes a different direction to the other books from this stable. Whereas before the subjects were specic hunting, optics, reloading, boltactions etc, it occurred to me that there are a fair number of gun types that are; shall we say slightly left of the middle! Often treated with prejudice or distain by the more uptight members of the shooting community; something I and many other owners of this sort of equipment have experienced rst hand. They are none the less legal, Section 1 rearms and used and admired by more British shooters than you might imagine. This sort of gear has always interested me and over the years I have collected, shot and owned most self-loading practical ries, carbines and shotguns and used and have rst hand experience of most designs we can own today. In this book I will be looking at pretty much everything that is not shall we say mainstream from hybrid straightpulls to Practical shotguns with a lot of weird and wonderful stuff in-between. I hope you will enjoy it and maybe if you have not sampled the delights of this sort of equipment give it a try, or at least look with more tolerance on we who enjoy being left of the middle! Cheers Peter Moore (Editor)

Prejudice a lesson from history

Just a word of warning before we go any further about the effects of prejudice. As I said some, so called, responsible shooters feel that some of the equipment contained within this book should not be allowed; for the simple fact they personally disapprove of it. This attitude also extends to some shooting organisations and even importers. Who of my generation can forget the; then NRAs comment to the Government after the 1988 Hungerford shootings. In essence it said they could see no reason why civilian shooters needed self-loading centrere ries and that as we know sealed the fate of this sort of equipment. Plus placed more restrictive laws on others and gave the government the idea that it could do what it liked to shooters as no one ofcial was prepared to stand in their corner. Many more remember the handgun ban, which could probably have been less catastrophic if more ofcial bodies and non-affected gun owners had given their full support. This attitude still lives today and there have been moves afoot over the last 10-years by some members of our community to try and get items like lever-actions, straightpulls and military-looking 22 rimres banned. I am proud to say that I have done my little bit to help out in this area, though the real credit must go to the late Pete Bloom (BEM), who made me aware of one highly devious plot and stopped it in its tracks, which was exposed in Shooting Sports. It is also up to the users of this sort of kit to act responsibly, but by the same token not back down when challenged over it. Ideally we should all be pulling in the same direction for the good of shooting as a whole. However, the sad truth is we are not and as long as petty-minded, self-seeking bigots are tolerated within the shooting community; at all levels, we will see more gun types disappear and more restrictions placed on the shooting sports in the coming years.

Good example of a pre-sidecocking AR, this rie is probably an Olympic Arms; note the extended T-handle, which helps operation a bit (Pic Mike Dunstan)

Straight-pulls
The ries that perhaps sum up this book the best are the hybrid straight-pull M16/ AR15s - a design born out of a need to continue a discipline. They should not be confused with the true, sporting straight-pull designs like the exceptional Blaser R93 and similar guns. To understand this type we must go back in history to the post-1988 world of Practical Rie (PR). Pre 1988 most PR shooters used militarytype self-loaders (SLRs) for PR AR15, FN FAL/L1A1 SLR, M14/M1A, H&K 91 & 93 etc, primarily in 223 Remington/5.56x45mm and 308 Winchster/7.62 Nato. Guns like the excellent Ruger Mini 14, M1 Carbine and AK47 did not get much of a look in as they are by nature short range performers that did not t in well with the 100 to 600 metre ethos of PR. Though at club level they were far more popular, due to shorter ranges usually encountered. Over night this whole infrastructure was destroyed and to continue we had to go back to bolt-actions. Suddenly the Lee Eneld No 4 and derivatives; in fact any rie that had a detachable magazine became the hot item; if you liked that sort of thing! One highly favoured design was the Steyr Mannlicher SSG, which had been popular even in the self-loading/gas-gun days. Though a few forward thinking individuals were already ahead of the curve. Pete Sarony (Practisport, now Armalon) was already producing modied (PR-ready) Remington 700s with hicapacity box magazines in 223 and 308. Great guns no doubt, as they gave us back a high-capacity repeater; albeit a manual one. Its interesting to note that Pete had at this stage already tried the feasibility of hybrid straight-pulls with a Colt AR15 and Springeld

Special Firearms Guide

This, in theory gives the calibre more ability; though the truth is the 5.56x45mm is probably coming to the end of its military life. However, 223 Rem is still top choice for the sports shooter and hunter the latter where fox, muntjac and roe (in Scotland) are concerned Already the US military is considering other calibres, with both the 6.5mm Grendel from Alexander Arms and the Remington 6.8mm SPC (Special Purpose Cartridge) in contention. Though it looks like the 6.8 SPC is going to get the nod, if anything does! The idea is to give a heavier and more effective calibre/ projectile of around the 100120-grain area, but still work within the 223 Remington COL and AR15 platform. So all that is required is a new, calibre-specic upper/ barrel and magazine, on the existing AR15/M16 lower. This naturally has ltered through to the civilian market with Alexander Arms offering 6.5mm Grendel-chambered AR15 derivatives. Likewise both 6.5 and 6.8 barrels and chamber reamers are available to the gunsmith, meaning its quite easy to re-barrel a 223 version and get a new bolt head and mag to suit. Some more, technical-thinking, British PR shooters are seeing these two calibres as the way forward. Since these two have appeared I have tested an SGC

Cactus Arms AR, just a bit different, as it only offers a left side, integral cocking handle

Different strokes
Theres little doubt these modern AR15 derivatives are a far cry from the original Colt rie with its triangular forend, lightweight, 1-12 twist barrel that red the 55-grain M193 ball cartridge. Heavy barrels, fast riing twists, bigger and more ballistically efcient bullets have turned what was in truth a 300/400 metre gun into an easy 600 meter machine and even something that can reach out to 1000 meters; I kid you not! Though chambered in 223 Remington, the basic AR15 chassis is capable of supporting other calibres of a similar cartridge overall length (COL). Over its 40year + service history the 5.56x45mm (military/223 Rem designation) has undergone a few changes. The 55-grain M193 load has now been superseded by the 62grain, SS109, which is better for the faster riing twists military ries currently employ.

Speedmaster in 6.8 SPC and a Dave Green AR in 6.5 Grendel. There is however a problem with both these calibres and its our old friend primary extraction! Fine in a gas gun, but to ensure reliability in a mann-opp you do need to ensure its loaded to the correct pressures. I found this as there was the occasional hard extractions in both cases; even with selected handloads. Personally I think the 6.5 Grendel is the better design, if nothing else down to the more ballistically efcient bullet it uses. However, if you are having to down-load your ammunition to achieve reliable operation, then some of the advantages offered will be negated by the fact the bullet is launched at less than optimum speed. Liking the Grendel as I do I had a custom CZ527 bolt-gun built in this calibre and its 22 barrel tends to get the best out of the calibre. But being a little cynical both the 6.5 and 6.8 are no more than clever/improved intermediate calibres so in effective on the same line as the Russian 7.62x39mm. Plus with the obvious popularity of carbinetype ARs with 14.5 and 16 barrels the Grendel and SPC would be at a further disadvantage due to the lower velocities produced in these abbreviated tubes. A slight aside with these two is muzzle energy, which is really the realm of the deer hunter, though serves to illustrate the general problems with intermediate calibres/cartridges. I tested both calibres - the 6.5 in my CZ custom and 6.8 in a bolt-action, 20 Remington LTR (Light Tactical Rie). In terms of accuracy the Grendel out shot the SPC by 20%, but and even with reloads I could not get it to make the magic 1700 ft/lbs. Best bullet weights for the CZ were between 85 and 100grains the heavier turning in around 1600 ft/lbs; so no cigar! The 6.8 just scraped in at 1703 ft/lbs with a 110grain Hornady V-MAX reload.

Its not all about PR either, this Speedmaster is chambered in 17 Remington, note the long barrel and freeoat forend (Pic M Jones)

Another option is the Armalite AR10, which is just a larger AR15 chambered in 308 Winchester. They are big and heavy with all the handling abilities of a leadlled dustbin, though SGC also offers a lighter option, which is marginally better. In truth and with most types of ammo primary extraction is awful and the gun too big and physical to be considered a truly Practical option. Given they use a 308 Winchester bolt head you could in theory get one built in something like 260 Remington or 7mm-08, which might be better. I have shot an SGC AR10 that was chambered in 243 Win, which struck me as a reasonable compromise As I said you do have to consider if non-223 calibres ARs are worth the effort, given their potential, primary extraction problems? However, Pete Sarony (Armalon Ltd) has come up with a solution in the form of his EasyCam. Designed to t the SGC-style Mk III receiver the unit consists of a compound leverage system that uses the front face of the ejection port as a hard point to work off. The unit bolts to the standard rear carrier hole that accepts the original, dog leg handle, which it replaces. In use it really works and solves those tight chamber problems caused by highpressure ammo. The EasyCam was made with the 6.5, 6.8 and 308 guns in mind, but in my opinion is equally viable on a 223, as it allows the use of almost any ammo.

Its also worth it for the hot weather where pressures will rise any way due to the higher temperatures the ammunition can reach if left out in the sun. Armalon also offers a version for the standard build (light receiver) too, though this is slightly different. Calibres for AR15s have also gone the other way, as many cartridges use the generic 223 Remington case head. I have seen guns chambered for 17 Remington and 204 Ruger, as both COLs are within the limits of the 223 magazine. These have mainly been made for both accuracy and probably foxing or long range rabbiting etc. Quite the most unusual is Mark Bradleys .30 Whisper, which is an out and out sub-sonic sniper round. The 223 case is cut back so the shoulder is removed leaving a straight-walled build. The neck is reamed out to accept a .30 cal bullet, which in heavy format can be launched at sub-sonic velocities that gives a near silent discharge. Marks gun was built in the 14.5 M4 format and came with a moderator and is ridiculously quite He also offers a wide range of 223 guns too! As we have seen the generic AR15 is a true movable feast with more options on barrel type/length/twist, forend, butt, pistol grip, bullet weights, optics receivers etc than you can shake a stick at. One of the real beauties of the build is that you can use one lower assembly (butt, grip and lower receiver) with any number of barrelled actions, as they all t. For example you could have a 24, heavy, uted in a 1-6.5 twist purely for the heavy Sierra 90-grain Match Kings for long range. Then swap it out for a 14.5, military-style M4 with an ACOG on top, or go iron sights with the classic, 20 M16 A2 look. Plus and as we shall see there are a number of 22 rimre conversion that will allow you the pleasure of a semi-auto rie; albeit in 22 long Rie. In truth most 223 ARs are semi custom and built to the customers needs. No other modern rie system is quite so versatile, but we have not nished with hybrid straight-pulls yet, as we are moving on from what I and many others consider - the best to the rest!

These days AR15s come in a number of calibres from the original 223 Rem to 6.5 Grendel, 6.8 SPC and 308 Win and its derivates, though here the rie is based on the larger Armalite AR10

AUG and beyond

In terms of 223 hybrids the AR15 did not have any serious competition that could push the range out from 100 to 600 metres for PR shooting. OK as we shall see there are the Saiga AK74 and Dragunov derivatives, the Ruger Mini 14 and even versions of the FN FAL. However, this year saw the long awaited introduction of the mann-opp, Steyr Mannlicher AUG (Armee Universal Gun) Z SP This is the second . bullpup design to hit the PR scene and by far the best; as the ill-favoured Bushmaster version from Empire Gunsight Company was a real dog; that should have been put down at birth The term bullpup describes a rie that has the magazine behind the pistol grip and uses the receiver as the butt. The advantage is a considerably shorter overall length when compared to the conventional butt/receiver/barrel layout of the AR15. It also means no loss of barrel length; often it can be longer with no handling penalties. So a good design

The latest mannopp hybrid the Steyr SSG Z SP, a rie with a deal of potential;, but let down by the rather short sighted lack of understanding for what a straight-pull needs to offer in terms of shootability

16

Special Firearms Guide

for the military and those sports shooters who want compact. The real downside is the fact that the trigger has to be connected to the hammer mechanism by a long linkage, which does little for the pull. This is one concern for a hybrid mann-opp; the other of course is primary extraction. The AUG Z SP is a well presented rie with a black polymer stock and 20, 1-9 twist medium weight barrel. Cocking is forward and on the left so pretty good for both right and left handers. The UK version comes with a raised Picatinny rail as standard and a fold-down front grip, as there is no forend to get hold of, or even t a bipod! Feed is from 10, 30 or 42-round magazines. Also useful is the fact the AUG can be easily converted for left hand use, as all you need to do is replace the bolt with a mirror image component that has the extractor on the left of the face and the ejector on the right. Then swap the ejection port cover over from left to right and youre done. Priced at around the 1100 mark its no more expensive than a decent AR15, though and as we shall see it does have some problems which are not insurmountable. Unlike the evolved and near perfected, straightpull AR15s the AUG is a good example of lack of vision at point of design and manufacture, as little thought has been given to the end user. The cocking handle is too small for repetitive hand operation, which combined with its heavy return spring system makes for some serious effort in cycling the action. Add to this the potential of hard extraction and you feel like you have been lifting weights after a couple of 30-round mags through the gun. The military-weight trigger is heavy and does little for precision shooting either. Which is annoying as the rie shows a high accuracy potential. With my standard AR15 reload - 69grain Sierra Match King (SMK) over 24.5-grains of Hodgdon Varget and a Remington #7 BR primer, the AUG when red from a rest with much effort on sight picture and trigger control was turning in groups at 100 yards. Theres not a lot you can do to fettle the all-plastic trigger mechanism, which was purpose-built to be heavy as bets a military rie. However a company in the USA makes an item called the Trigger Tamer, which is a drop-in, replacement component for the mech that reduces the weight from its abysmal 12 lbs+ to around 6 to 7 lbs. Far from amazing, but a real improvement from how it comes outof-the-box and a denite increase in shootability.

Top right: The Ruger Mini 14 BAO (bolt action only), unlike the original self-loaders the mannopp version proved very disappointing when it came to accuracy

Speaking to Mark Bradley (Bradley Arms) he told me that he is already making extended cocking handles for the AUG and is considering a right hand conversion too and maybe some sort of forend or bipod mount. Despite my comments on the more negative aspects of the design, I really like the rie and feel it has potential, as its accuracy is not in question and with a bit of experimentation and innovation it will evolve into a far more user-friendly gun. It is however regrettable that Steyr Mannlicher arent offering this from the factory, which they could well do, with a bit of consultation with experienced, British PR shooters Its plain to see that pre and post 1988 PR has been dominated by the AR15 in one form or another. Today the harsh truth is; theres currently no hybrid straight-pull out there to touch it! Though and with some development/ improvements as I have detailed I reckon the AUG could be a contender. The Armalon

hi-cap/DM bolt-guns are the conventional solution and they do have their following, as they are accurate, do not suffer from primary extraction problems and work very well. However, there are other options, which we must consider, as not everyone wants to pay 1200+ for the pleasure of a PR-type rie.

Sub culture
In terms of both calibre and action PR is dominated by the suitability of the equipment design. So lets now turn our attention to perhaps one of the most sadly disappointing modern ries - the Ruger Mini 14 BAO (Bolt Action Only). I say this as a pre and post Mini 14 owner. The original Mini 14 was Rugers answer to the current need for a viable, self-loading, 223-type rie for commercial and law enforcement/military sales. Typically the design borrowed from the old US M1 Carbine, M1 Garand and M 14

18

Special Firearms Guide

service ries, as is Rugers way. Sporting ries showed a plain wooden stock, whereas military guns had ash hiders, bayonet lugs, iron sights, side folding stocks, carbine options and even a selective re variant (AC556). With its 1-12 twist riing the Mini was set up for the then standard M 193 ball-type cartridge and proved amazingly popular with all users. In the UK they represented a highly cost-effective PRtype rie for the club level shooter. In my old club just about everyone who wanted a self-loader had a Mini, as did I, plus a Colt AR15 amongst other examples, but I just love automatic ries They were however and like the original, 1-12 twist rate AR15s not that good for much over 300 meters. But back then there where so many more rie ranges available and the long distance aspirations of the average club shooter usually did not extend past 200 yards if not less. In that they were probably more successful than the AR15, as they were cheaper, maybe more reliable and gave us a neat little 223 self-loader that was accurate enough for fun/PR-orientated shooting at sensible ranges. They also had a small following amongst some fox shooters, where a fast back-up shot is a nice facility. Ruger even made 222 Remington versions for countries like France that did not allow civilian shooters to own military calibres, some of these even ended up in the UK. With the SLR ban the Mini 14 disappeared from the UK, though with the advent of the hybrid mann-opps it occurred to me that a straight-pull version might have some potential for our market. I wrote to Ruger on numerous occasions on the subject and when I became friends with Edward Horton of Viking Arms (Ruger importers) urged him to push the case. After much rejection he nally succeeded and it was agreed that a man-opp, UK-legal version would be produced.

any mann-opp hybrid really felt like forbidden fruit in the mid-1990s; it was the Russian Saiga series. We have Guy Savage (Sabre Defence Industries) to thank for getting straightpull AK74s into the UK. I love the AK and still consider it the nest assault rie ever made and also the best looking. Not that accurate, nor with the longest effective range, what it looses here it makes up for in sheer toughness and reliability. I used to own the classic, folding butt, airborne version pre the 88 ban and though aware of its limitations really liked it! Made by Izhmash the Saiga series uses the generic AKM/AK74 design with the AK 103 and 104 models or M3 and M4, the latter showing a manual bolt hold open not found on the former. Conversion to straight-pull operation is simple as the barrels have no gas port and the piston is made without the all-important nose piece. Like the Mini 14 the Saiga series is very much a case of what you see is what you get right side only cocking handle, big and clunky safety catch, very short, low-combed butt, skinny pistol grip, 16 barrel and military iron sights. Feed is from 10 or 30-round magazines and

All AKs and SVDs come with an integral, NV mount, which will also accept dedicated scopes, which is useful

front improves performance astronomically, but thats hardly a viable option. Stubborn to the end I have got another Mini and am in the process of experimenting with practical ways of strengthening the barrel. You could of course rebarrel with a heavier tube, but that would be expensive and you might just as well buy an AR15. In its favour the Mini offers a reliable action, with side cocking as standard, so no real dramas on hard extraction. I got mine tted with a big knob bolt handle just to give me something better to hang on to. You can also get a 22 rimre conversion kit, to make is a semi-auto, but its a pain to t and set up.

Mr Kalashnikov
As you have probably guessed by now I am a bit of fan of military, self-loading and automatic ries and if
22

Special Firearms Guide

in the original calibre of 7.62x39mm ring a 123grain FMJ bullet at around 2300 fps performance was not amazing, with the rie struggling much past 200 yards to hold even a halfdecent group together. Saiga also offered a 223 Remington version, which I have never managed to get my hands on, however, speaking to those that have indicates this calibre is a considerable improvement. The problem here is trying to get hi-capacity magazines for it, as it appears 10rounders are all thats currently available. All Saiga M3 and M4 ries show the integral, military, night vision mount on the left of the action and there are a number of dedicated optics available to t it. The xed power x4 and x6 POSP sniper scopes for the Dragunov SVD sniper rie are two examples and there are even a couple of red dots too. However, the short butt with its low comb gives a very bad eye/scope position, which does little to improve performance in an already mediocre accuracy design. Another variant is the 12 carbine, here the barrel stops just in front of the gas tube and shows a cone-type ash hider/muzzle brake. It looks and feels very cool, but as you can doubtless imagine accuracy and ability problems are exacerbated by the shorter tube! However, given you keep the ranges sensible and are aware of the accuracy limitations the price and good availability of cheap ammunition makes the Saiga M3/M4 interesting options. Sadly effective range is the real problem, as theres no way that one of these ries could hope to hold its own in a 100 to 600 metre PR competition. The 223 version might be better but forget 7.62x39mm for anything much over 200m! What the Saiga needs is a course of re that it can cope with and its a pity no one out there has done such a thing, as it could also include the Mini 14. Make the maximum distance 200 yards/meters and play to the ries strengths and not its weaknesses. I recall Guy Savage talking to me about such a project a few years ago and I have been speaking to Oleg from FSU Connections, who also imports Saigas about a similar idea. Despite my comments on the Saigas abilities, I genuinely like the rie and own an M4 in 7.62x39mm, which I use more as a fun gun for 50/100 yards. As I said you get what you get in terms of accuracy/ performance, however and thanks to FSU Connections and Bradley Arms the rie can be improved considerably in terms of shootability.
23

Special Firearms Guide

Much in the manner of the British Light Support Weapon (LSW) which is a derivative of the standard L85 bullpup. I have used RPKs and they are good, offering as they do better accuracy and down range ability. I recall Decade Arms advertising something similar from a company called Arsenal in either Hungary or Bulgaria, though and despite many promises guns never appeared Pity! For those who want more from the generic AK design you can also get a mannopp version of the Dragunov SVD. In truth the SVD is not a true sniper rie and more a designated marksmans gun, as it cannot offer the accuracy/range potential of say a comparable M21, which is a sniper version of the old 7.62 US M14 Service rie, which was superseded by the M16. The build is just a bigger/ longer AK47 complete with iron sights and using the standard, side mount for POSP scopes, though it does offer a last round hold open facility. The butt is the familiar skeleton design that now gives its name to that build the Dragunovstyle. Notable is the rolling comb that offers an adjustable head position, though as ever the butt length is far too short. FSU Connections bring in two versions both military the xed stock and the side-folding airborne version. Feed is from a 10-shot magazine and the rie is available in both the original Russian 7.62x54mm R (rimmed) cartridge and I have also seen a slightly more sporting version called the Tigre that offers this and also 308 Winchester. Accuracy is not up to that of a decent bolt gun, but far superior to any AK I have shot. The Dragunov is quite light and recoil is reasonably hefty. I have to say that I have never seen one of these at a PR match, which does surprise me a little, as it offers the only, readily available, mid-capacity, detachable magazine, .30 calibre straight-pulls for the PR shooter. Its probably down to price and perception as the guns are not cheap and for the money you could buy a good AR15 that will do the job as well if not better This brings me nicely on to the other .30 calibre hybrids, which is where the PR hardware really ends. The Belgium FN FAL is one of the best known 7.62 Nato battle ries of the late 20th century, we British used our own, imperial version in the L1A SLR and both this and the FN were popular as iron sight ries in the pre-88 PR scene. I used to shoot the G1, which was made by FN for the Germans before they adopted the H&K G3 as their service rie.
25

Special Firearms Guide

Sabre Defence brought in the Brazilian Imbal FAL in three versions standard 20 barrel, the 16 Congo carbine and the 12 Wasp a sort of uber-carbine. Typical of a 7.62x51mm the action is quite strong and the left side mounted cocking handle a bit short for easy and long term operation. As I said earlier for the sorts of high round count courses of re PR generally offers these full power calibres and ries can be a bit much. As ever primary extraction problems will uctuate with the quality of the ammunition you use. Scope mounting can be a problem as you only have the thin, sheet steel top cover to t an optic, which is hardly a stable base to work from. However, B-Square does make a heavy, alloy replacement with a Picatinny rail that clamps to the upper receiver. I have seen some Imbal FALs modied with an SGC Mk III cocking handle, which does make operation a bit easier. Imbal did make a 223 mann-opp FAL in the folding stock, paratrooper version, which was very nice, but to my knowledge Guy did not bring them in apart from a prototype as they were very expensive. Like the Dragunov the FAL is a rare sight at a PR match or even on the range. Probably rarer though a real shooter in every sense of the word is the civilian version of the US M14 the M1A as made by the old Springeld Armoury. I have only seen one of these, which was owned by Mark Bradley and made I believe by Guy Savage (Sabre Defence). The right, side-cocking action proved smooth and easy with full power 308 loads, with recoil being reasonably mild and controllable, as with the original self-loading version. With a 168-grain, Match-type load accuracy was superb. However, not a cheap rie, though my choice should I have wanted a 308 straight-pull. Though no longer imported and never in quantity you might come across examples of the old, clip-loading, US M1 Garand in 30-06 Springeld and also the American, DS

From the box the Imbal FAL offers a short cocking handle, which is not ideal for repetitive, manual operation

Imbal FAL, here we see the 16 Congo version, this is a nice rie, but in 7.62x51mm its a bit lumpy to shoot

Arms FALs, which I believe were built with parts sourced from Austria, as they too made the gun under licence, before adopting the AUG. I have also seen a straightpull M1 Carbine (.30 Carbine calibre) and even an H&K MP5. These ries are rare and also of potentially dubious parentage, as back then some people did not quite interpret the dictates of the law as well as others! You must bear in mind that to be UK-legal any hybrid straight-

pull must be made as such and not from converted Section 5 components, or even from a modied selfloader. For example you could not buy a standard AR15 in the USA and simply remove the gas tube and block off the transfer port to make it manually-operated. As it has the potential to be converted back. Yes the law is an ass, but its still the law and we need to keep the right side of it

PR, Classic and Gallery options

The problem in writing a feature like this is knowing where to stop, as there are some bolt-guns and other actions that fall squarely into the realm of specialist equipment. Sure any gun can be modied to accept a hi-capacity magazine etc and I have seen a few; the most notable being a Schmidt Rubin, K31 Swiss Service bolt-action from the 1930s. The builder modied 20-round SLR magazines to replace the issue 6-round box of the original; he also built a scope mount too. However, this was a one off so of no real general use; even though highly practical. Today ex-Service K31s are available and do represent an interesting, classic/veteran alternative to the Lee Eneld No 4 etc. The action is fast and easy, the magazine change quick and they are accurate, however the availability of spare magazines is almost non-existent, which tends to rule them out for any sort of competitive use.

Given the pump-action gave way to the semi-auto as the action of choice for PSG in a reasonably short time, the revolutionary SPAS 12 incorporated both systems in one gun. Totally military looking (this gun always put me in mind of the American M60 GPMG). The SPAS featured iron sights, a pistol grip and folding butt, up front was a long, pump-like forend that by means of selector button would allow the switch from semi-auto to pump-action operation. The name of this type of mechanism is a combination. All it did was by means of a cam path and follower was to close off the rotary gas valve and connect the piston/action rods to the forend for manual operation. The original idea was the ultimate in reliability, which it certainly was, however and despite the guns huge popularity back in the mid 1980s when it rst appeared it was rather the solution to a problem that did not exist. Back then I was working at Delta Firearms and we used the SPAS 12 a lot and sold tons of them too. I always recall an owner who said to me he could never work out how I could shoot my gun so fast, which I could not understand. I asked him to show me how he shot his and he proceeded to pump all 8-rounds through the gun. I then asked him why he did not use it in semiauto mode and he said he did not know that was possible! This guy had been shooting his gun as a pump for six-months; go gure The SPAS 12 fell foul of the 1988 rearms amendment as it came with a folding butt as standard, also it was only made as a 20, but you could get a choke tube permanently tted to increase the length to 24. Add to this there were xed, pistol grip butts available and the SPAS still survives today, though is no longer mentioned on the company website so I can only conclude it has been discontinued. However, Franchi went one better and made the box mag SPAS 15, which was also a combination, as we shall see Today if you favour a combination mechanism then its available in the Benelli M3, which in

Franchi SPAS 12 in the mid 1980s this was seen as the wonder PSG gun, in truth it was too big, too heavy and too complex

Boxing clever
Now on to the elusive box magazine guns. The rst commercial design was Franchis SPAS 15. Congured similar to an M16 with a carry handle, iron sights and a top-mounted (under the carry handle) vertical cocking handle, the gun offered a similar, selectable (pump/auto) combination forend layout. Feed came from a 6-round box magazine, which was a bit low on capacity for PSG. Though the potential answer to our prayers the SPAS 15 was not that well laid out and very expensive as I recall, with spare mags being equally horrendous on price, at around 90 a hit even back in the late 1990s. Also availability was never good, so as an alterative it very much priced itself out of the market. Commercially the only practical box mag gun is the Russian Saiga12. Typically an AK47 derivative the gun uses an adjustable, two-position, gas/piston mechanism and feeds from a polymer, 8-round magazine. The original 12C version was not ideal with its short/ low butt and skinny pistol grip and no automatic hold open facility. It was however reliable and when compared to the SPAS 15 a far most cost effective option.

Too little too late the Franchi SPAS 15 box mag shotgun

comparison to the old SPAS 12 is a far better design. On that point Benelli are well known for their exceptional semi-auto, recoil/inertia shotguns and they offer what they call the M2 Practical model. This shows a 26, multichoke barrel, with recoil ports, iron sights, scope rail and a 10-shot tube magazine as standard. Quite the best thing about the M2 is the fact it offers their Comfort Tec stock design, which by means of rubber chevrons set into the butt really does reduce felt recoil. If you shoot 12bore slug as well as PSG then the M2 Practical is an excellent, out-of-the-box gun. Radical but more basic are their Nova and SuperNova pump-actions. Nothing really unusual apart from the fact they use a polymer receiver over a metal skeleton and are probably the most unusual pump design out there. The SuperNova offers a 3 1/2, 12-bore chamber and have a magazine disconector built into the forend, typically they can accept an extend magazine.

Special Firearms Guide

In recent years the 12C has been upgraded with the introduction of SWAT 12K version, which addresses most of the problems - AK-style iron sights are tted along with a full length Picatinny rail on the top cover. The magazine system has been improved with a deeper well and easier insertion/release, the pistol grip is larger and gives more control. The butt has been replaced with a TDi, CAR 15-type unit, which is length and comb height adjustable, a muzzle brake is also tted. The price is a little more than the old 12C but not that much, however the magazines are around 70 each, which means as you need the minimum of ve or six spares thats the real down side. Saiga also offers the 12C in both 20-bore and also 410. The latter uses a 10-shot magazine and though not as powerful as the 20 and 12-gauges is an amazing little gun, though far from ideal for PSG. As can be seen and costs aside; the box mag gun would seem like an ideal PSG tool, but it does have is limitations. However, in a discipline built around the xed, tube magazine the advantages of their quick change feed system are very much at odds with the current ethos of the sport. Many see the box mag as an unfair advantage, due to the speed of the reload. Likewise on stages where you start with an empty gun, would a box mag be required to be empty and lled by hand as a tube system? The other problem is how many spare mags do you need, as some of the longer stages could take up to 50-rounds? For example that would need a minimum

The Saiga 12 offers a more affordable and accessible box mag gun, here we see the later 12K SWAT version, which offers iron sights, scope rail and improved furniture

the 1897 is your classic pumper, though not the rst mechanism of its type; is probably the longest lived. In terms of modern guns the build is a little different with an external hammer and short receiver with the bolt sliding out of the back when it cycles. Filling is easy as theres no shell lifter to push past and the gun offers a slam re facility. Here and as long as the trigger is held back every time the slide shuts the gun will re; fast but far from accurate or controllable. Also you can by using buttons on the side of the action dump the entire magazine contents too. The 97 was probably the rst ever ofcial ghting shotgun, as it was used by the US Army from before World War I up to and including Vietnam. With its short, 20 barrel, bayonet lug and perforated metal hand guard it will always be the archetypical trench gun. The 1887 is perhaps more unusual, as it uses a lever-action mechanism and rotary, quadrant breech block with external hammer. It is said that Browning offered Winchester a pump-action mechanism, which was to eventually become the 1893 then 1897, but they said they wanted a lever gun which would be in keeping with their main product - the lever-action rie.

The Saiga mag holds 8-rounds of 12-bore ammo, big and cumbersome to carry they are also expensive, given you would need at least six or seven for a PSG jungle run

of six mags, which and cost aside; are big and heavy to carry and you would not want to lose them by accident either Saiga 12s aside, it seems unlikely that we will ever see PSG dominated by this system, due to the simple fact that this sort of technology is not mainstream and often developed for more serious needs only!

Golden guns
Now two blasts from the past, which offers that rarest of things; reproductions of two classic repeating shotgun designs. We are used to Ubertis exceptional copies of the Henry and Winchester, 66, 73 and 76 ries and Pedersolis Sharps, Springeld and Remington Rolling block repros. But in this case the thrust comes from China as Norinco make the Winchester 1887 lever-action and 1897 pump-action guns. Both designed by the great John Moses Browning;
36

Special Firearms Guide

Western Winchester from the east the Norinco 1897 pump-action copy from China

The 87 loads through the breech to its under-barrel magazine and is a bit different, but none the less is fast and efcient to use. The fact that both these classic designs have been re-created is down to the need and popularity of Westerntype shooting as practiced by the American SASS (Single Action Shooting Society), as both guns historically fall within the time parameters for use. Norinco offer a number of shorter barrelled guns, including the 20, 1897 trench gun, which are not UK legal. Over here guns are normally 26 or 28 and though of more appeal to our own Western shooters the BWSS (British Western Shooting Society) are equally as good if you want a classic repeater for eld/game use. Also an interesting PSG alternative if you wanted to do it old-style and frankly I do not think they would be a disadvantage in the right hands. Best of all they are very well priced and accept 12-gauge ammo.

One nal item, which is totally for the hunter are the Saddlery & Gun Rooms range of moderated (Hushpower), Mossberg pump-action shotguns. The Mossy 500 is an excellent pump, well priced, reliable and offered in both 410 and 12-bore options. Guns are modied with barrel ports to transfer the gas to the silencer, which as a unit is permanently tted, so does not require special permission to own. So it will go down on your ticket as a Sect 2, or if you want high capacity Sect 1 shotgun. The downside is a very long gun; normally around 50 +, but the moderation effect is useful, given the deep and rolling boom a shogun makes normally. Saddlery & gun Room also offer special sub-sonic ammo to suit. They also say they can pretty much moderate any smoothbore and that includes semi-autos, though here more work is potentially required to ensure reliability of the action.

Rimres
Theres little doubt of the popularity of semi-automatic, 22 rimre ries; especially those that look like military battle and assault riles M16, AK47 etc. This started many years ago with a company called Jaeger Arms offering a rather nice copy of the original AR15/M16. Called the AP74 it featured a xed, dummy mag housing that took a single-column magazine of either 12 or 15-round capacity. The gun was a lot of fun and you can occasionally encounter them today, though spare mags are almost non existent. This started the ball rolling and soon AK47s, Galil ARMs and even the French FAMAS Bullpup appeared, all based on the identical rimre AK chassis. Not particularly reliable they none the less proved reasonably popular, with some being converted to a 24 shotgun format for the tiny, 22 rimre shot shell cartridges. In truth these were about as much use as a chocolate re guard, but you now how it is? Pieta of Italy even offered a loose copy of the Russian PPSH 41 SMG in rimre with a drum magazine. Perhaps the best of the military looka-likes was the Erma M1 Carbine, which was a very good re-creation of the old .30 calibre US M1 Carbine from WW II. You can run into all of the above guns even today, as though no longer produced they are around. Some work others dont; the worst are the AK, FAMAS and Galil, but all will suffer from the lack of spare magazines so be warned. Moving on in this direction and much more up to date are two German ries the Walther G22 and the German Sport Guns GSG 5. The G22 appeared a few years ago and was a denite departure from Walthers stern and serious target ethos; we have come to associate them with. We probably have Umarex to thank for this who own Walther and are best know for their rather fanciful CO2-powered, rotary magazine look-a-like air pistols.

The standard V22 upper, mounted on an SGC lower, this basic rimre conversion has come a long way since its introduction in the UK

38

Special Firearms Guide

The G22 was a Bullpup design with a rather ugly and angular synthetic stock. Feed was from a 10-round magazine that tted in the butt to the rear of the pistol grip, behind this and built into the thumbhole-style stock was storage for a second mag. With a separate release catch this offered a clever onboard capacity with a reasonably fast and efcient change over. With high, M16-type iron sights, with the rear acting as a scope base the over all scope/bore height was a bit too tall. It was also possible to change the G22 from right to left hand operation, by swapping bolts and ejection ports etc. However, this was not a ve minute job and one best done by someone who knows what they were doing. In use the G22 suffered from the usual, Bullpup, long and mushy trigger system; though like anything it proved popular initially. The stock which is available in black, green or camo had rubber inserts and was covered with sections of Picatinny rail. This fact was not lost

on the designers as Walther offered laser and torch packages to suit along with red dot sights and scopes too. With both carbine and full length rie variants and threaded for a moderator the G22 is an interesting and unusual rie indeed. Probably causing more excitement was the GSG5. Made by German Sport Guns (GSG) who up until then had only made hi-quality, soft air guns, the new rie was a near perfect copy of the Heckler & Koch MP5 SMG and it looked the business. The only problem for the UK market was the fact that is had to come with a 16 barrel, which they wisely tted a dummy moderator to. The reason being that the GSG5 though coming as standard with the xed (A1) stock would also accept the collapsing design too. This when tted puts it under the UK legal minimum length requirement of 24, which would take it out of the Section 1 large rearm category hence the 16 tube. The dummy moddy

Bremmer Arms/Parker Hale got in on the act with their own, dedicated AR15 standard 20 rie and CAR15 16 carbine variants, which used a US military conversion kit not unlike the Ceiner. The major difference here was it only offered a 10-shot mag that tted inside the standard 20 or 30-round 233 magazine. Like Bob Clark they cut off the chamber adaptor and re-barrelled with a dedicated 22 LR tube. Ruger even got in on the act with a dedicated Mini 14 rimre conversion kit, which I think was made by Ceiner. It worked to a degree like they all did, but and unlike the AR15 took about 20 minutes to t and was not that easy to do. Truth is none of the pure conversions really work that well, with more potential being shown by the dedicated, 22 LR replacement upper. So lets move on? Once again SGC lead the way as Bob Clark announced a few years ago he would be bringing in the V22 conversion. Made of all people by CZ of the Czech Republic they were produced for a company called Victory Arms in the States. The V22 was a top half only and consisted of an AR15, free-oat type upper with a dedicated, blow-back action, which fed from a 10-round block magazine that was dimensioned for the existing AR mag well. Unusually the gun featured a side-mounted cocking handle and given it was made for the AR15 did not even try to offer a hold open facility automatic or manual. That always struck me as a weak point given why it was designed. The V22 was not the prettiest thing but worked to a degree, probably the biggest fault on the one I tested was the fact it would occasionally re out of battery (bolt partially open). This often as not bulges and or splits the case, which is a little off putting from the ring end, as smoke and blast leaks out. This obvious drop in power can seat the bullet halfway down the barrel and if you are not aware of this and dont remove it; the next one down will knock it out but cause a bulge in the process. This as I have said happened to me and also others too I have spoken to on the subject Wisely the V22 uses the same barrel/forend system as the 223 gun, so its not a problem to customise the rie with all the AR goodies forend, iron sights etc. Bob took this a stage further as he soon started building custom versions and in most cases just used the action and re-barrelled it. His latest is the M4 Military gun, which looks like the US M4 carbine. His other contribution to the design is a home-rolled, 25shot magazine, which is much better than the original in both capacity and reliability.

The V22 is popular and as long as you remember about the occasional ring out of battery and check the bore before shooting again it represents a nice 22 AR option. I have heard from Mark Bradley (Bradley Arms) he is in the process of building a dedicated 22 LR, AR15 upper of his own. Wayne Titterton (NW Custom Parts) brings in an alternative to the V22 in the form of the Tactical Solutions AR22. The AR22, unlike the V22 is a dead copy of the AR15 upper even down to the forward assist, case deector and ejection port. It uses what appears to be a Ceiner-type back end with a dedicated 22 LR barrel, you even get a partial hold open facility, which though not ideal is better than nothing. I thought where they dipped out was the fact the forward assist does not work, which would be useful on a 22 rimre, blow-back design. They all come with two, Blackdog magazines, which is nice! The one thing I found on my test was the fact the rie was very ammunition-sensitive and would not tolerate any nonUS makes. This fussiness is typical of any make of 22 rimre self-loader and my advice is to buy a cross section of brands and see what works best! The AR22 is available in a full-length, heavy barrelled, free-oating version or an M4 Carbine type. Like the V22 my tests showed the ability to re out of battery, this seems to be endemic with any form of AR15/22 rimre conversion as I have also found this on Ceiner and Atchisson kits and the Bremmer Arms ries too! One big break through in this area are the Blackdog magazines, which are imported/distributed by Bradley Arms. Looking like a 30-round AR15 clip they are made of polymer and show a 27-round capacity, though 25 tends to work better. They are congured for the various makes of 22AR and conversion kits and after a short running-in period work very well. They are also well priced at around 30. A nal AR-like rimre is the cactus Arms CA22. Run By Ron Flint, he uses the bolt and trigger mech from a standard Ruger 10/22 and has specially made actions with butt and pistol grip, with a heavy barrel and free-oat AR forend. I tested an example with a CAR15 (collapsible) stock, but like both the Ruger and the AR; the world is your oyster in terms of look and accessories.

GSG5, this H&K MP5 clone poses a few design problems due in the main to our laws on the dimensions of a Section 1 rearm

42

Special Firearms Guide

Browning made a rie out of it by tting a 16 barrel and an integral grip frame that mounted a wooden butt. With a 10-shot mag, this 22 semiauto carbine, to a degree bridged the gap between handguns and ries. This was not lost on some gunsmiths, with Alan Westlake (Westlake Engineering) making a rather nice conversion, which he describes as a long pistol. He removes the butt and permanently ts a stainless steel bar to maintain the 24 legal minimum, then cuts the barrel to 12 . The usual re-crowning etc is done and what you end up with is, though not to my personal liking, is non the less a highly effective, compromise, 22 semi-auto long pistol, that to a greater degree gives a practical handgun for target shooting. As the Buckmark comes with a scope base you can t what you like, or even get the irons put back on. Truth is Alan has been busy and also offers a range of in-line, single-shot muzzleloading pistols, as well as a 38 Spl/long pistol conversion of the Remington 1858 New Model Army muzzle-loading revolver. He can also offer nitro powder conversions for BP revolvers too. These use a new, two-part cylinder and shotgun primers as opposed to the old and inefcient percussion caps.

Also worth a look

Rounding off this book we come to the gear that though not truly off the wall, none the less deserves a mention. First up is the Browning T-Bolt rie, re-created from an older design it uses a straight-pull action that feeds from a double-drum, 10-shot magazine. Initially chambered in 22 Long Rie, the T-Bolt is now available in Hornadys 17MACH2 and 17HMR and it comes up as a smooth, slick and efcient hunting rimre. All you do is pull/push the side-mounted handle and the action cycles smooth and fast, which is far more practical than the accepted lift-pull, push and lower of a standard turn-bolt system. The 22 Long Rie is a great rabbit buster, but the 17HM2 is perhaps not the best choice, due to the fact this calibre has never taken off in the UK. What is going to make a serious impact is the 17HMR version, which we are still waiting for over here. This hard-hitting, rimre magnum in the T-Bolts fast action is going to make an awesome combination. Still with Browning we have the BLR (Browning Leveraction Rie) though looking highly traditional with its classic lines and external hammer, the BLR is in fact the modernist leveraction out there, as it uses a 6-lug, carrier-mounted rotary bolt; similar to the AR15s. This is operated by a geared, rack & pinion mechanism and is amazingly fast and slick, add to this a detachable box magazine and you have something rather special. The latest version of the BLR is a take-down, where barrel and receiver/butt can separate for easy storage/travel. Another design that falls into this category is the Marlin 1895 family. Chambered in big bore calibres like 444 Marlin, 45-70 Government and the new 450 Marlin they pack a lot of re power. Riecraft Ltd, perhaps best known for their Light Sporting Rie will convert an 1895 into what they call a Piginator short barrel, muzzle brake (very important) and compact scope. Another unusual re-make of an older model is the Henry Survival rie, near identical to the old Charter Arms gun; its a semi-auto, rimre design with a hollow butt that will accept the barrel, magazine and action for storage. What

Though a rimre hunter, the Browning T-Bolt (top) offers a fast, straight-pull action when compared to a standard, turnbolt design like this Ruger 77/22 (below)

Special Firearms Guide

Despite its classic lines the Browning BLR is a modern, leveraction rie, with rotary bolt, a fast rack and pinion operating system and detachable box mag

real use it is here in the UK is debatable, but it works Quite the oddest of all is the Stradivari Bullpup! This single shot hunter uses a falling block mechanism that is actuated by a hinged butt section. With a forward pistol grip, twin safety system including a gripper on the forend as well as a manual lever in the trigger guard, it also has a raised, Picatinny sigh rail, 30mm scope rings with 1 inserts and as you can imagine is totally ambidextrous. Chambered in numerous calibres I have tested a 308 Winchester version and its a bit of a kicker to put it bluntly. So much so that the manufacturers had to t a muzzle blast reducer to stop damage to the scope and also shooter. In calibres like 243 Win or 223 Rem the Stradivari is a useful rie, as its truly compact and very handy. I mention this more of interest as currently there is no UK importer, but it serves to demonstrate what can be done with a bit of imagination. Now another straight-pull - the Blaser R93 LRS (Long Range Sporter). Generally R93s are pure hunting ries,

which is attested to by their non-detachable, top-loading, low capacity, magazine system and sporting stocks. The LRS is a total re-think as it has a proper, detachable, 5-shot box magazine in a tactical stock, with the usual adjustments comb height, length of pull etc. To give good long range ability it uses a heavy, uted barrel with the option of a muzzle brake. The forend as such is vestigial and more a place to hang a bipod, as its just a short extension that comes no where near the barrel. Useful is the fact that the R93 is available in left or right hand operation, as Blaser make a left handed bolt carrier. Given this heavy rie is intended for prone use only; for the right hander a left hand bolt makes a lot of sense as you can maintain the rie in the shoulder and use the left hand to operate the
Riecraft Piginator, based on the Marlin 1895S this gun is cut down and tted with a muzzle brake and offers a fast and effective driven boar rie in 45-70 Government
