Maybe sightpicture is one of the really unlucky ones who only had firearms that instantly became "illegal". We can only go by what he says here...
The vast majority of folks I know have at least a bolt gun or 2, and the odd 22 plinking rifle etc.
My service rifle(s) fall into the "not legal anymore" category. But shooting and attending shoots (and showing support for the local clubs) is important enough to me that I made a plan. It's taken a couple of months, but luckily I am back on track again. I could not afford to go out and buy a new rifle (like many did in the aftermath). So I ended up importing a 223 bolt head, and having an old 223 target barrel turned down so I can use it in my Savage. Also attended another SR event where we used 22 rifles (10/22, marlin 795 etc) at shorter ranges, but shot the usual type of match.
All of us can only go by what is written here.
My 3 instantly unusable.
Lever action mag capacity now illegal.
Shotgun mag tube size now illegal.
Pistol caliber semiauto now illegal.
