Bolt-action rifle ordered turned in by Australian officials as it’s too ‘assaulty’ (VIDEO)
The Australian Border Force is giving owners of Riverman rifles 30 days to turn in their operator-assisted firearms as they look too much like banned weapons.
The Riverman Gun Works’ OAF series rifles are made in Idaho and about 100 or so (numbers vary) have been imported into Australia. Now, as reported by News 7 Brisbane, although a straight-pull bolt action, the gun is now outlawed and officials want them turned over to Border Force.
The “bungled buyback” could cost tax payers down under as much as $1 million Australian (about $790,000 US).
The two-page letter sent to Riverman owners officials state that the reclassification “has been made due to the firearm being substantially the same in appearance as a fully automatic firearm, specifically the Stoner CQB Mod 2 rifle.”

I never thought that Aussies were a bunch of Pussies, but I am being convinced to change my opinion.

Assaulty?
Isn't that what Aussies call a salt-water crocodile?

too ‘assaulty’...? What butt pirate come up with that definition?
To: WayneS
Exactly, this is a bolt action being banned because of how it looks.
They are not allowed to have semi-autos anymore.

That is one butt ugly rifle. I think you have the definition of "assult rifle."
To: Dalberg-Acton
It shows up fairly small on my screen. When I posted it from the site without sizing it was tiny.
