straight-pull actions?

I have a right side charging upper receiver from Bear Creek, which I am pretty sure is sold by a few other retailers under different names. I bought it because I am left-handed, and can hold the rifle in my left paw whilst charging with my right. No reason in the world why you couldn’t build the rifle with either an adjustable gas block or kluging up some means of closing the barrel gas port permanently. I imagine a barrel could be ordered with no gas port whatsoever without too much difficulty.

There is a lower on the market that moves the trigger group to the rear of the receiver, and has a conventional buttstock that was adapted from a Remington 1100 (I believe). Combine the two and hey, presto, a straight pull rifle that doesn’t have a “black” rifle appearance.

By the way, I’m not sure if you caught it, but I replied below to your post about a sci-fi novel. It really sounds like The Moon Colony might be what you were referring too.
