No, it's not. That's specifically why the name was changed.

Of course, it is Australian-centric from a practical standpoint.


Lol. I know theres variety here but the top header does say Australian shooting community so I assumed it was Australian only when I first came here too. I dont mind as gives more perspectives.

Haha, that's a good point :)

But I'm sure you remember when the name was changed we were told it was for that reason.

It is Cali. I asked once because it loads fast for me. But that doesn't really mean much ;)

my understanding is that the PAR was restricted due to some of its parts being compatible with the AR platforms, trigger group was one in particular that po po didn't like

I wonder if it would be possible for someone to produce the Troy AR under licence in Australia. Small volumes just for the Australian market. Would get around the customs issue. Would be expensive, but surely cheaper than developing a rifle from scratch.

How many people would buy it?

I think that's a barrier to spending the money to tool up.

Damn!! Well it looks like if I ever move back to Australia, from the US, I'll have to leave my range toy behind.

Buy a remington 7600, or if you can an old savage 30/30 pump.

Wedgetail Industries have started producing a pump action look alike of a AR-10 called the MPR308. It is curretlly legal in every state expect WA, NSW and TAS, but may become legal in WA as they plan to make a version that Doesn't have a barrel shroud that covers the top of the barrel. There have also been hints that a lever release version may be out in the future but anything can change. Here's a photo and video from their Instagram.
