The founders emphasize their commitment to representing Australian shooters and producing firearms suitable for the country, with the name “Eureka” also serving as a stand for rights, drawing parallels to historical events in 1851-1854.

Video 4: With 30 years of experience, Jim Cohen, known for his work with Viper Holsters, has played a vital role in the Eureka project during his five years at ASA. Leveraging his extensive background in gunsmithing, he’s excited about the Eureka product, highlighting its suitability for competition and hunting, and its unique qualities as an Australian-made firearm with a focus on quality components.

Video 5: The idea behind the rifle is to create a practical and usable firearm, with a particular emphasis on the Lever release mechanism, considered the best option for this purpose. The goal is to offer a product based on a solid platform, anticipating a positive reception in the Australian market for rifles, with a focus on product development and a belief that their rifle will stand out.

Video 6: The Eureka Stockade is a .223 lever release rifle, conceived to address challenges in acquiring firearm parts and to enhance efficiency and reliability. The design incorporates elements from the Australian-made AAA and ArmaLite rifles, opting for a gas impingement system with a push rod to minimize debris, aiming to provide Australian shooters, particularly hunters, with a powerful and effective firearm.

Video 7: From building the prototype of the Eureka Stockade model, we have learned the importance of versatility, offering receivers in various colours and considering Timber stocks for a more traditional look. After years of fixing others’ guns, our focus is on creating a bulletproof product that we are personally proud to use, aiming to avoid the common issues faced by others and dedicating our time to designing and developing new firearm concepts.

Video 9: A lever release, technically termed a “self-ejecting manual loading rifle,” is a system used in recent firearms from Europe or Turkey. In this design, the lever release acts as a safety mechanism, preventing the rifle from self-loading and incorporating a fail-safe double system to ensure reliability. When fired, the gas-driven mechanism catches the bolt in two places, providing a dual system for added security. The lever release is pressed to load the next round, creating a functional and reliable system that embodies the spirit of safety and functionality pursued by the Eureka Gun Company.

Video 10: The advantage of lever release actions lies in the gas system’s functionality, not only for the rifle’s operation but also in reducing recoil. By utilizing most of the cartridge’s energy to work against a set of springs, the lower recoil allows for more accurate backup shots without disrupting the shooter’s aim. Additionally, the lever release enables easy bolt operation without the need to take the hand off the grip, ensuring a fixed point of aim and shoulder position. The combination of reduced recoil, seamless operation, and reliability makes it an ideal choice for Australian shooters.

Video 11: The choice of .223 Remington for The Stockade prioritises its availability and suitability for Australian shooters over the less available 5.56×45. Future calibre options, such as 9mm, remain open, driven by market demand, and the Eureka Gun Company intends to involve users through their website for input on future developments.

Video 12: The forend features double rows of M-Loks on each side and a single row underneath, offering versatility for mounting various accessories. While the two panels serve to prevent gas exposure, the forend’s design, including a Picatinny rail and M-Loks, provides ample space for a wide range of gear attachments.

Video 13: We are currently testing an Australian-made barrel with a 9-inch twist to accommodate various bullet rates and types, focusing on ammunition that is readily available at reasonable prices. The flexibility in barrel options, ranging from 8 inches to 12 inches twist rates, allows users to choose based on their preferences, ensuring optimal performance for different types of ammunition.

Video 14: Cleaning and maintaining the gas-operated Eureka Stockade rifle is straightforward, with instructional materials, including videos, provided to ensure users understand the process. The design focuses on simplicity and minimal parts, making maintenance easy for users, whether in the field or at home.
