\"Troy<\/a>Troy Defense’s new pump action sporting rifle reminds me of the Remington 7615P patrol rifle<\/a>, that was marketed to law enforcement as an easily transitioned rifle that was identical in workings to a police 870 shotgun.\u00a0 The Troy model is obviously more AR-15 than pump shotty, but you get the idea.<\/p>\n

Troy Defense says their sporting rifle “is complaint in areas where legal ownership of standard semi-automatic rifles have been legislatively limited.”<\/p>\n

I don’t see this as something that is a replacement for the standard semi-auto AR-15’s used by law enforcement, in fact, if you can think of a reason a department should buy them for duty use, leave a comment.\u00a0 I would be interested to see if a justification can be dreamed up.<\/p>\n

In the video below, the rifle’s recoil looks about the same as either a direct impingement or gas piston system.<\/p>\n
