The rifle needs to be cocked initially, by pulling back on the lever. The gases blow the bolt back when fired but instead of it closing and loading the next round like a semi-auto would it locks in the open position and the operator has to press that lever to close the bolt again loading the next round. It's very quick after a little bit of practice and should do well in the competition.
It's actually a lot of fun to shoot with.
I have SK ammo, the red box, and i cycles and fires flawlessly.
Sounds reasonably simple and quick to operate. How long until the AU government bans it as a dangerous assault weapon? :P
Yes, that's the thing. At this stage it's legal...But for how long though.

I read that they moved a specific model of lever-action shotgun up a tier just because it was popular and gasp might be an effective repeating gun.
The Adler yes. One of my mates is a gunsmith and was increasing the magazine length too.
They are now 5 rounds I believe, he was making them 8. The law is grandfathered or some such dumb term. So, if you have an 8 round you can keep it but when/if it is transacted to another it has to be reverted. And yet, I have a sniper rifle that I am accurate on at up to a mile with a 20 round magazine as legal, semi-auto handguns and this 515 which a 25 round magazine is legal in.
