Howsabout just having a nice normal length gun? 762mm is hardly a punt gun now is it... Is this purely fashion? something for 3 gun playtime? or have you lot taken to wearing overcoats and hanging around banks :o
Reading these things makes me wonder if people WANT to have greter restrictions placed on firearms owners - take the piss and you get noticed and legislation gets put in place to cover the loophole - and probably erodes the status quo at the same time.
My reasoning to go super short is to keep all bullets subsonic, there is no need for another 6+ inches of barrel - maintaining legal OAL isnt really an issue.Quote:

The prob has been overcome in other ways, its now down to building another gas 45ACP to put into practice
Gun job #241 on the list :)
I'm short and skinny and I like my guns the same way, and there's no logical reason why I shouldn't be allowed toQuote:

hehe, i was tempted to ask the AO when he turns up to check things, but he might look at me funny..........
:wtfsmilie:
LOL, all these odd questions....like can a stripper clip be loaded in a car and whats the min gun length incl supressor....he might just carry my sad ass away there and then and introduce me to bubba my new best friend I dont need....
:sick:
better to ask and know I say.
Bear in mind we are more up to date than most police officers, Im pretty sure that the "check your thumbhole"poster is still up in our police station
It pays not to piss the bear off tho, sometimes they try to bite
Id really like to practice on a sks first, but chopping down their gass system may be hard with the piston set up
in the end the whole rifle would cost what a barrel would for an ar15
So what just don't be different?Quote:

@cyclist, sometimes ppl like to play with things to see how they work/ work out...surely asking means we want to be legal?
So what's the story with pistol-grip (no shoulder stock at all) on a shottie (mav 88 or whatever) for example. Is the gun not legal at all or just in no-mans-land? (they work out to be over the 764mm limit)
THe latest Hunting and Fishing cattledog has a whole page of "Tactical" shotguns with pistol grips.
Yeah I looked at them - they all have shoulder stocks. It's the pistol-grip option alone ie no shoulder stock whatsoever that I'm unsure about.
If it's over 762mm it's fine.
A pistol is 'under 762mm or designed or adapted to be fired with one hand'
Pretty hard to fire a 762mm long 12g one handed
PGO shotguns suck at everything though
iv had one of those 12ga 8 shot Mossbergs with just a pistol grip on.
very dangerous to fire with one hand let alone incredibly hard to take the weight
firing it one handed it nearly hit me in the face
utterly useless gun, with out the shouldering capability it is nearly impossible to hit anything
took it off and put the original stock back on.
Had a burn on a 590 with just a PG. Heaps of fun but as everyone else said good for fuck all.
