20×102mm Vulcan
Straight-pull and “naked” AR15 from Oberland Arms
Oberland Arms from Germany are on the offensive with a lot of new product launches at their home market, at the IWA Exhibition.
They have developed a straight-pull rifle called OA-GZR. It’s not a pump, like the Troy PAR, for instance.
The rifle is not a rebuilt semi-automatic either but designed from scratch as a manual repeating rifle.
However, the design is clearly the same as an OA Black Label M5. My understanding is that the rifle has to be loaded manually via the normal AR15 charging handle, but I was not able to see so cannot confirm it 100%.
Below: On the wall, OA-GZR manual. Prices around 1,900 USD.
According to Oberland, this rifle will end up in the EU Firearms category C.
Without going into the totally confusing (and soon changing) EU firearms legislation it can be said that A is where the soon-to-be-banned firearms can be found. B is getting there and C should be fine for a while. It seems this is called “yellow license” in Germany.
In Germany and some other EU countries, getting a firearms license for a manual rifle should be a lot easier than a semi-automatic. However to my knowledge, larger than ten rounds in a magazine might still pose a problem (or rifles that can accept such magazines). But as the legislation in many EU countries have not been written yet it is difficult to say for sure.
