Just a quick question about the latest batch of straight pull SKS rifles. Using a bore scope you can see there is still a gas port in the barrel but the barrel is rotated so it does not line up with the gas block. I presume as it's built up from parts overseas and UK proofed then it's all above board ?

Seems the ad has been pulled was on Gunstar.

They were being made by LDT same company that made to first few priced around the £700 mark, but the new ones the price was £2000 so maybe no takers. Some of the other rifles the dealer was offering the ads have gone as well.

Crazy that!

Last I was in the states they were around $150 for SKS variants.

Pretty offensive that castrating a rifle adds around the £1800 mark...
