Verdict
Adler Ad500 Tac 308 WIN 18.5″ Semi-Auto Rifle fills the traditional semi-auto centre-fire lane. The current listing keeps it outside the prohibited bucket, and the sporting profile keeps it below the tactical High tier. Medium is the useful reading: any broad move against semi-auto centre-fire rifles could reach models like this, while the current named-family pattern has not made this specific listing an obvious first target.
