The PH Gun Cabinet - Shooting Matters

I'm looking at yet more Aero precision stuff for it; the upper will likely be AP, as well as the hand guard. It should work out lighter - the complete upper plus BCG should be ~4lb.
I've got an AP scope mount on mine. Lightest one I could find!Same with the carbon fibre handguard I used.
For those following the recent gun ban I was told at my club last night that a UK gun company is working on a lever action AR15 for gallery rifle.
For those who regularly shoot lever action rifles you will know they are just as fast if not faster than MARS so what a total waste of time and money that's going to be for the UK tax payer if they do make it.
This country really does need to have a good look at itself.
What next they will have to ban all lever actions?

Pump action and straight pull AR pattern here. Why can’t we have these.

Mildly curious as to what the last comment was before editing....
I wandered over to the local Cabelas a little while ago, and was impressed at the range of stuff available (Cabelas is huge over here and best thought of as a gun warehouse. My Dad described it when I took him there last year as 'if the local Tesco sold nothing but guns and ammo'. You can walk along the gun counter at regular pace for a couple of minutes). I was looking out for a No.4 Mk1, but nothing in stock, alas. Several Arisakas (surprised at that - and at the length) but I was more tempted by the M1 carbines (silly money) and the Garands (absurd money).
Had a good heft of most of the used AR's in stock (a dozen or so), which was the main reason I was and decided the lighter the better. Some of the builds there were bloody heavy for what they were.
Cheapo .223 ammo starting at $8 for 20 in store, but I think bulk is best.
Memorial day sales force action and while I'd like to build the entire upper myself, I realise that I've set my sights too high in wanting something mid-range / decent quality wise, which means it's cheaper to buy it ready built. Charging handle ordered, I'm prevaricating on the exact upper (4oz and $100 between then), but I'll have it ordered by the end of the weekend.
I'll probably pick up another, cheaper lower at some point, and wait for a Palmetto State Armory kit to be on offer for ~$250, and build that from scratch.
My other project is still on back order.

I use a .223 "bucket of freedom" which is good value for rem.
I am not seeking that last 1/2 MOA though. I have used GGG in the past which is good don't know if you get that in the states?
"Bucket of freedom ". I like that :-)I am not seeking that last 1/2 MOA though. I have used GGG in the past which is good don't know if you get that in the states?
I the UK we can't even buy a bucket of dreams lol.

Its not bad value, I get it a smidge cheaper due to discount I get.
