Thread: Can I still hunt with a 4 shot Browning BAR

Well mate,as another thread has pointed out,....deliberately worded and designed for confusion.!!!!

Basically,these jackarses have rushed this legislation through so quickly without doing their homework,and now have created a situation they are having a hard time justifying

ANY rifle or shotgun is able to be modified to accept an external magazine -- give me a grinder, some flat steel and a stick welder. A very wide ranging description, which is why it is used, it is designed to ban everything.

And make a submission and ask to speak to it , even if it is only to say you disagree with how this process is being handled.

I couldn't find the part to tick that said that. It always came up as saying that I didn't not want to make an oral submission

A lee Enfield can be modified to become semi
Where does this idiocy end

I don't think the pipe and end caps is anything new to the police they aren't that stupid

Its not necessary anyway.
The Police don't seem to know my address even after I've told them I've moved and they've come and checked my safe.

although i think stug is a dick, he is correct......it "could" accept a larger mag so its E-cat. (i gave up a woodsman auto because it could take a larger mag and was outlawed).

yeah big boy; i see what you are saying reign it in.

you are apply logic to an emotional liberal argument.....so either you are right wing and for hate speech or you are for killing people.........that's what the govt thinks.......not like you are going to vote liberal

Yea id put whatever you want to bet on it what would you like me to do ask a police officer if hes got any idea why someone would be buying large dia pipe and end caps about the length of a firearm when theres a firearms ban on

and some skilled guys doing the mad minute can cycle the bolt that quickly on there lees, the rate of fire is not far behind a semi!

@GDMP it could be argued that because it is still called a BAR, that it is in fact a military style rifle. Browning have taken a military designed rifle and turned it into a recreational hunting rifle. Browning Automatic Rifle is what the military called it, yes it has been redesigned. It still carries it's military name. That in itself will be it's down fall. Along with being a semi.
