    If you like them, take a look at Southern Gun Company [SGC], based on Bodmin Moor Cornwall. Be aware, though, that straight-pull firearms of any kind are very costy, and only for UK-based buyers due to the rather odd firearms laws over here.

    Apart from Bob at SGC, there are other folks here on mainland UK who can provide UK-legal versions of

    1. M1 Garand.

    2. Any of the AR variants.

    3. AK variants.

    4. Dragunov sharpshooter rifles with wood/plastic rigid or folding stocks.

    5. M1 carbine

    6. FAL in .308Win OR .22RF.

    7. Lewis Machine Tool [the BA's current designated marksman rifle] in .308Win or .22RF.

    Also available as lever release are various models of AR [SGC again] usually in 9mm Para, and the Czech VZ58 in .223 Remington/7.62x39 Sov,

    All are currently UK Section 1 firearms, and can be owned by anybody with a Section 1 FAC as a target rifle.

    No other restriction - magazine capacity as big as is actually made. Bipods? Forend hand grips? Lasers? Night Sights - if applicable to your 'good reason' for possession? Red dots? Holo sights? Not a problem.

    See them all on Youtube, many being shot as part of the CSR [Civilian Service Rifle] competitions.

    You could also have a look at Lantac in the UK. They are SGC competitors,but I dunno if they are doing the MARS system yet.Seeing that these are bespoke rifles I guess they will cost abit more.
