From the late 70’s onwards, a number of AR-18 derivative rifles start to appear on the world markets. Given that Armalite’s patenting game around the AR-10 and AR-15 systems was so on-point, how come they didn’t have a patent preventing such things as the Steyr AUG, Enfield SA80 (L85), Sterling SAR-80, Leader T2 and others?

Switzerland’s most popular native-English-language guns & shooting channel! Probably. Maybe. I guess. A somewhat off-the-wall and tongue-in-cheek look at firearms, military history and shooting, and a jolly good tilt at the windmills of fuddlore to go with it. And the odd off-topic vid about Switzerland, or whatever happens to take our fancy. We normally launch “in-series” vids on a Friday (early launch on a Wednesday via Patreon and the FB page https://www.facebook.com/Blokeontherange/ ), out-of-series vids launch precisely… whenever.
