We can own centre-fire battle rifles here in the UK, but they must have been made from new as 'straight-pull' versions. Conversion of a semi-auto to straight pull isn't allowed, so that does limit options, as not many authorised manufacturers will make straight-pull, but there are straight-pull version of AK-47, L1A1, Garrand, M1 Carbine, AR's, Dragunov's, etc. here in the UK.
I've even been on one of the firing points at Bisley ranges next to a guy with one of the SSD Stg.44 repro's

While not the same as semi, its better than nothing.
