I suspect the effective difference is whether you have to break your grip to work the action, with a straight pull you normally use one hand or the other to work the charging handle, with a pump action you can use the fore hand with out breaking your stance, also things have moved on since the legislation came in.....Obviously there is a technical difference. But could not all strait pulls be considered a "pump" action? Or is it only the position of the opperators hand that defines it?
Time for my tin hat!
ive seen a Ruger mini 14 in .223" with a slide cock front pistol grip technically speaking (under the letter of the law description) its not a pump action

hes a long standing RFD (yes i knw not automatic know everything Cert ) think it eh wording describing pump action being very specificSounds interesting but also sounds like the owner has argueably effectively turned it into a pump action.

Lever action is legal and faster IMO so a Browning Tube gun in .223 converted to run M16 30rnd mags is faster
What was the final word on lever release?
I know there was a 9mm SGC lever release at some point, which was contentious, but never saw the outcome.
not quite, Bob is happy to discuss and supply reloading components for them, its just if it blows up (has happened) or breaks in any way there may be no warranty unless you have used only factory ammo in it.Yes it is made by the Southern Gun Company but it hasn't been without its fair share of problems both mechanical and legal. They are certainly not cheap and from what I can understand there are several different versions with differing magazine systems, some apparently work better than others. The choice of ammo that can be used in them has be subject to a lot of debate with SGC suggesting that only factory ammo should be used.
A Blaser bullpup would be, in theory quite doable. Apart from the safety!
But not the only source, I believe Fox firearms also imported a few in various calibre's.As with Pfeifer, Global Rifle is the UK source.
