I saw this on gunbroker and was quite amazed at its beauty.
Very compact would love to see the interior workings..

Cool.

This is the pistol version of the "Leader" rifle. I had one of the rifles. A little rough, but a decent shooter. It's derived from the AR-18 design rather than the AR-15. Dual internal recoil springs and a gas piston, stamped metal receivers and (in the rifle) a removable stock. The non-reciprocating cocking handle is on the left side of the forend (like an H&K). Decent design.

Not an unusual circumstance. Para Ord pistols are made in Canada, where most citizens can't own handguns. Henry rifles are made in New York City, where most citizens can't own any guns at all. Same same the high quality Japanese made firearms.

Yeah and RRA is out of the IL. I guess you are right. Funny these governments don't think the poeple have the right to keep and bare arms but they have no problem taking money indirectly from us "crazy people clinging to our guns" (income taxes from the company's employees etc...)

Sorry, End of Hyjacked thread.

Wait.. We're crazy too? I was just coming to grips with being bitter...

Is this considered a pistol or an NFA SBR?
