No problem. SGC have reinvented the UK firearms market, they deserve credit for that. Yes the UTAS XTR-12 is made of billet 7075-T6 aluminium, she looks lovely and the XCR build quality is excellent. Who doesn't want a self-unloading-rifle in that form-factor? Hopefully I can add both to my cabinet next year.

It is interesting to see that SGC has been breading his unicorn and is mentioning tale of having a rifle calibre lever release. After saying for so long that it could not be done to anyone who waved money in his direction.

The shotgun also looks good if it has a metal lower. My Bora looks very similar with the after market fore end but the last time I shot it I was still having difficulties with the magazine well.

Welcome back!

Sadly the XTR in the video, and even more naughtyily, the ones shown on the website are not the UK versions, which have our stupid 24" barrels. I'd guesstimate those shown have 18" barrels :p

I know someone who aquired an XCR a few weeks back, I had it in my sticky mitts and it is a very nice bit of kit and nicely balanced.
