Not sure what to think about this pump action rifle

[molldog06]

Maybe this is just new to me but figured I'd share it anyway.

Troy Defense came out with a pump action AR. Do no think I would want to own one but would not mine holding one in person or firing a few rounds through it. Not sure if it uses the standard AR lower receiver or not, but it does use AR style magazines. I will post the link to the article about it if I can find it again.

shoot, pump, reacquire target, repeat..my question is why?

I suppose for the same reason people choose pump shotguns over semi-autos, which I've never understood myself.

Wait... It's a joke isn't it?

I agree FrankT, only thing I can think of is for people in California and other states which have ridiculous regulations for semi-auto guns with removable magazines. If I were in one of those states think I'd rather have a pump action shotgun or a Remington 7600. Can not remember exactly but think the MSRP was over $1k

As long as you're in a ban free state you don't need to worry about this.

I'd rather have one of these.

11 hundy! Wow, not so much.

I guess it's no sillier than a lever action, but more capacity.

seems it may have been an exercise for Troy with pending gun legistlation. I like the idea. If/When semi-auto AR's get banned, this is a viable alternative.

How about one of these?

So, which one is faster?

I can see where the UK legal version would better for follow up shots off a rest. Hopefully, we wont be faced with having make a decision between the two.
