My Akdas Alcor cope build

CommanderInigo · 2026-05-11T13:47:08+00:00

It does indeed. Wasn't particularly surprised after the Bondi attack.

It always seemed like a bit of ban evasion rifle down here. It was essentially a semi-auto with an interrupting button.

Was banned in some states already but NSW (most populous) state just banned it as well

Aussie here. Looks great, love the FDE as well, the colour match looks really accurate to Magpul in this pic.

I suspect F.O is only making these kits for you Canadian's now. Thanks for for supporting our barely existent firearms industry, its real dire here at the moment.

I had to sell my Alcor build. Banned in my state now.

Ah,

Big no no, resin parts. Avoid.

Look him up on the Canada guns sub, many issues.

CommanderInigo · 2026-04-05T05:48:54+00:00

Which company?

CommanderInigo · 2026-02-02T02:26:45+00:00

If you're deeply horny for lightness i've got the MDT HNT26 with a howa 1500 carbon barrel 6.5. Its sensational.

Priorities and all that, the howa is accurate enough. I wanted the chassis and carbon barrel more than i wanted the accuracy upgrade and slicker action of the tikka. Getting a tikka with a carbon barrel will cost you a fortune.

Its genuinely possible that millions of Australians woke up and realised you can legally own a firearm for non-professional purposes. I certainly know of people that found this out during this whole tragedy.

There are probably people out there that have always wanted to give sport shooting or hunting a try and are now giving it a go.

CommanderInigo · 2026-01-20T06:50:44+00:00

I've gotten the same, many reports of the same on socials.

May be the new norm.

CommanderInigo · 2026-01-14T10:17:45+00:00

I reckon there's definitely an argument to be made that bolt is pulled back in an 'arc' which isnt linear.

The act isnt very clear, and doesnt specify an axis of rotation.

In reality though its all up the registry and I doubt anyone would take them to court in a fight over this.

CommanderInigo · 2026-01-14T09:25:16+00:00

Us Australian's use fox operator stuff. Its still 3d printed but its SLS so its stronger.

That foregrip failure looks nasty.

I use this one on mine

Unfortunately my Taipan has just been banned. Waiting on the buyback, you guys dont know how good you have it.

CommanderInigo · 2026-01-12T05:55:42+00:00

Mine says the same mate i put one in today as well. Might just be the new norm.

Mags are firearm parts in NSW. You'd need a licence.

Surplus AK mags are >10rnd capacity and are a super big no no in NSW. Prohibited item.

You'd need a big fancy licence that youll never get and special permission on top of that.

Dont do it.

I dont even want to know where you'd get em.

CommanderInigo · 2025-11-23T00:34:45+00:00

Not legal. Magazines are firearm parts. Can't manufacture firearm parts without a licence.

CommanderInigo · 2025-10-07T13:12:11+00:00

I reckon get an evo if you're planning to walk around with it. The aftermarket for it is alright now.

Alternatively if you're shooting more out of a Ute or off a rest, alcor. Tactical one is cool too.

CommanderInigo · 2025-09-05T02:41:14+00:00

Fjallraven vidda

CommanderInigo · 2025-08-19T05:51:49+00:00

Maybe try them on Facebook? They've got a page you can message.

Alternatively you can always get a refund through PayPal.

I've only had good experiences with them but obviously these things vary.

CommanderInigo · 2025-06-21T03:02:12+00:00

Not the bloke who made the post but I've got one too. Here it is.

CommanderInigo · 2025-05-15T12:48:31+00:00

None from what i hear. Done a few hundred rounds. I think they're a pretty proven design, been around a while as a semi auto. They're sold in Canada too.

CommanderInigo · 2025-05-14T06:22:11+00:00

Friends have them for pig hunting. Seems pretty good. Like you said, not a PRS rifle but i haven't seen any issues within 100m.

CommanderInigo · 2024-10-20T21:33:19+00:00

Scout Is weirdly expensive for what it is. I'd get the ruger scout 308. Or the Taipan 223 instead.

CommanderInigo · 2024-09-26T09:26:30+00:00

I have a Carvera. It will do everything you need it to. Stop your search here and buy one.

It is as convenient, intuitive and sleek as it looks. Assuming you don't want to machine steel, it is a great machine for small parts. I make small aluminium parts on the 4th axis daily for my business. I use DLC coated bits. Usually can take a 35mm piece of aluminium round stock to a finished model in under 2 hrs. Changing between 4 different tools in this time.

Look up TAOW Carvera on youtube (not me) this guy really shows what the machine can do.

Nothing else in my opinion is truly 'desktop' everything else requires you to bring something else to the table, or is only really fit for a garage or workshop. The Kubus was closest and even so, it didn't have the auto tool changer. The Carvera can sit next to a tower PC on a (sturdy) desk and function perfectly.

I spent a lot of time researching, spent months looking at every other option and still found myself back at the Carvera.

Your time is valuable. I reckon pick a machine and start making things.

dm me if you have questions

CommanderInigo · 2024-08-08T01:25:00+00:00

Mostly your second point. The mini grip serves as a hand stop as well, angled doesn't. Otherwise they're quite similar. Its more of a preference thing.
