We can only have a semi in .22LR.Any other calibre (centrefire) must be single shot.Either straight pull or lever action etc.Hi cap mags are ok and so are mods. I can legally use mine for hunting with a mod but would be asking for a run in with the cops if I was seen out with it. |

So is your Oly bolt-action? How does that work - a straight pull bolt with handle sticking out the right side of the receiver? |

I take it you disconnect the gas system?
For what reasons can you own a .22 semi auto? CRC |

Welcome. I too am curious about your single-shot AR. how did you make that work?

Yeah, the gas is disconnected.It has a "H" bar sticking out the back of the receiver which you have to pull back for each shot.
Southern Gun Company (England) offer left or right hand cocking versions that can be cycled without moving your face away from the butt.The cocking lever is bolted directly onto the bolt and you can keep your trigger finger close to the trigger whilst cocking.With the H bar type you have to use your trigger finger hand to cycle the action. The reason we only have .22lr in semi auto is because of a crazy law that was hastily passed without being researched beforehand.Simple as. |

I hear .22 semi autos are almost banned?
Any word on that? CRC |

The Government are preparing a consultation document and anyone can comment on gun issues pro and anti.The deadline for any correspondence is 8/31/04.After this date the Government are proposing a review of firearms law in this country.It has been reported (but not confirmed) that there is a threat of a ban on .22LR SLR's.At this time there are a lot of "rumours" circulating because there are many people with many and varied opinions of the shooting sports and what should happen to shooting law as a result of the forthcoming review.The shooting organisations such as BASC have been urging all shooters to contact there Members of Parliament and the Government to voice our concerns over any further restrictive legislation.

Sad to hear of your restrictive laws. One of my old British secondary school friends I met up with in London this spring thinks the world of Michael Moore and "Bowling for Columbine": poor soul is totally brainwashed.... thinks you can just walk into a bank in the US and pick up a gun for starting a checking account! What hogwash.

That stinks. I hear the number of shooters is low.
On the plus side they might have an epiphany, come to their senses, and allow handguns to be legal again. I doubt it. Keep fighting. CRC |

Clayo,
have you got anywhere with your search yet ? Thanks for the warm welcome guys. Q. How easy is it to get a bayonet for my Olympic Arms ? |

Hi there!
 If your Olymipic Arms has a standard Mil-Spec bayonet mount, it should be very easy to find a bayonet for it. The M7, M9, and M10 ought to work for it. Of all of them, the M7 will probably be the easiest to find and the most affordable. |

Brett_Bass, Thanks for that.I am not sure how a bayonet would fit to my Oly.It has a "Lug" under the front sight.How do the bayonets you have mentioned attach?

Slide ring on bayonet handguard over muzzle and guide metal lock-point on handle of bayo onto the lug.
