hi. I'm in the UK and trying to get a civilian legal mr556.
current UK law means anything above .22lr cannot be semi auto.
there are plenty of straight pull AR15 uppers to chose from over here and I'd rather use one of them than pay £3000+ on a mr556 upper and then have to take out all the gas/piston parts to make it legal.
so I'm looking at making a clone.
what I need is the iconic 416 forearm.
our straight pull AR15 uppers are compatible with all or most usual AR15 accessories, but I'm not sure if the 416 forearm is attachable to an AR15 upper, or if not is there is some sort of adapter so it can be done.
any help or info will be much appreciated.
p.s. please no one suggest i get the .22lr 416. I'm after a 556 rifle.
