    Oh those questions opens up a can of worms. I suspect that you could not register a firearm without a serial number. The FSA/TTP require an identifiable serial number / marking so you could make up...

    It's an interesting one, most rifles that one would be confident in at range are not close in or easily carried firearms - generally longer barrel with a heavy profile (even if carbon wrapped or...

    The young lad in the video pulled off a great shot. Personally, I stick to 200 metres and that's when everything is right. I know my limits.
