which one tickles your fancy and why?

if you dont have an ar type gun,which one would you like to own??

Would be usefull to know where the listed FA's are available from as well, which dealers?

I am opting for the NEA, well constructed, smooth shooting and not heavy even with the RIS.

[Lurkhead]

price differences would also be interesting

I don't think all these models were available to us. Most of them were but not all and most of them are sold out. There is a similar thread somewhere.
My choice woud be HK416.

Luvo's AR clones are also available from MRST.

Is this meant to be a secret because I have not seen anything about it on the forum.
Anyway the more variety the better. Is there a link or pics available on the forum.

I had a look at these and they are very well built but are demos, and I am not aware of any more being ordered as of yet.

At least however we are starting to see some nice kit coming in and big thank you to all the dealers in this regard.

Regarding the Sig and Armalite I would be interested to know if and when those were ever imported; the rest I am familiar with.

Regards

Silly q maybe, but what would you need to do to qualify for a licence for one of these?

Cat B Collector or Dedicated Sport Shooter (in a dsicipline or an Association that presents matches where they can be used).
