Someone said we could not judge a person's Aboriginality on their skin colour.  Why isn't that applied in the matter of Pascoe?  Tsk, tsk, tsk...   Roll Eyes Roll Eyes

Australian AR-15 Rifles by Wedgetail Industries   

The WT-15s



...

       Quote:
Not deterred by now highly restrictive ownership rules in Australia, a new company called Wedgetail Industries has started manufacturing semi-automatic AR-15s for domestic sale. Named after a large Australian bird of prey, the wedgetailed eagle, the company is manufacturing many of the critical components for the AR-15 including, but not limited to:

    Barrel
    Bolt
    Bolt Carrier
    Trigger Group
    Upper Receiver
    & Lower Receiver.


Being that the weapon is already restricted, Wedgetail is offering the weapon in what the US would classify as “short barrel” and standard rifles. The first offerings include a 10.5″, a 14.5″, and 16″ carbine. All weapons are 100% ambidextrous, using an ambi charging handle, Norgon ambi-catch, and a Teal Blue Bravo PDQ style bolt catch/release.

Capture

Being manufactured for a highly restricted market with few customers to defray start-up, engineering, and other costs, the Wedgetail is not inexpensive. Retail is set at $5,800+ Australian dollars for the 16″ rifle. Stand-alone uppers are also available.

The targeted market is law enforcement, goverment, and private feral animal control. Generally speaking, there are few others who can own semi-automatic AR-15s due to Australia’s restrictions.

The Penuma procedure is expensive in the USA.

I guess guns are cheaper, and less painful.

Yes, that's what Mr Trump used to say, Mort, back when he was anti-corruption, anti-guns and pro-choice, remember?

Steve Bannon used to love this about Mr Trump. He'd say whatever he was told. He has no shame whatsoever in changing his stance - on anything. Largely, this has to do with him not understanding his stance in the first place. Bannon described a discussion soon after meeting candidate Trump. It went something like this:

The Bible Belt need you to be pro-life, Mr Trump.

No problem, I've always liked life.

Pro-Bible?

I love the Bible, great book. An eye for an eye - great stuff.

Pro-Jesus?

A great guy, a real inspiration.

What things inspire you about Jesus?

The eye for an eye stuff. Really amazing.

I think Jesus was against that, Mr Trump.

Yeah? Why would he be against eyes?

Er, don't worry, we'll get an endorsement. Benny Hinn said he'll do it.

Yeah? He's great - a great TV presence. He'll get the Latinos too.

He's Portuguese, actually, but...

No one'll know the difference, believe me. Pity he's not black...



Karnal make sure you get your facts right before you usher your bigoted left wing rants.

Jesus did not say "An eye for an eye"!

In Australia a semi-automatic centrefire rifle is a Cat D firearm.

"    semi-automatic centre fire rifles
    semi-automatic rimfire rifles fitted with a firearm magazine with a capacity greater than ten rounds
    semi-automatic shotguns fitted with a firearm magazine with a capacity greater than five rounds
    pump-action repeating shotguns fitted with a firearm magazine with a capacity greater than five rounds."

We can have these on Category D license in Australia much better than the AR15



If you wanted something lower powered like the AR15 then something like this is also Cat D



Fancy a semi auto shotgun with 5 rounds for Cat C Primary Production or Clay target shooting no magazine limits for Cat D.


What about a semi auto rimfire, Cat C 10 round magazine for Primary Producers Cat D unlimited magazine capacity

Cat D also includes AR15. That's why you can buy mags etc for them.
