Thanx Olav,

I'll keep digging... What I would like to find out is, are these new AR produced in the UK or refurbished AR, if so where from?

Those are valid questions.

Why don't you contact them directly and ask?

Hi Olav;

I thought I'd ask about the forums to see what feed back I'd get, before I approached them directly.

A:YES

Q: Does the chamber handle and cope with pressure for the Black Hills 77 gr Sierra Match King (Mark262 Mod 0)
A: NEVER TRIED BUT CAN'T SEE ANY REASON WHY NOT AS THEY ALL PASS U.K. PROOF TESTING.

A:NO
