surely that would be classified as an illegal pistol ? seeing as it can be fired in its taken down state ?

The nut on the end of the rather short barrel adds a touch of class.

I went through this with my Bergara single shot that was non takedown version, even though you would be mentally retarded to try and shoot it with the but stock removed it was possible and being shorter than 762mm it could see you foul of the law if you were pulled up by the wrong plod with an axe to grind.....

That sums up quite a few firearms - many semi auto 22s, shotguns are like that.

But the crims seem to prefer a ‘mean-as’ pistol grip at the blunt end, regardless of barrel length.

Well hopefully I'm wrong but that is what I was told, I certainly don't want to test the water, even if it is ok. Not worth the heartache, anyway lets get back to ugly bubbafied guns :thumbsup:

Dont know...but 1) it would take a special kind of stupid to fire that without the stock fitted, and a similar but also special kind of dumbass to fire that with the stock dust taped on...I can see the recoil pivoting back and 'hingeing' on the tape...Blinded or a scope kiss like you have never seen.....

Too many bubba lawyers, too.

It was on a thread here possibly from when I sold it, I really don't care enough to go trawling around looking for it. There's always someone on here who knows better.

so pretty much ANY shotgun with barrel and action shorter than 7.62mm would run fowl of the law...the "batman special" ranger from gunshitty definately would....you can fire shotgun without butstock..... once .... without forestock isnt an issue but without butt would be painfull.

I feel like this deserves a place in here. May be done well, but just doesn’t look right.

It looks like a CF2 to me, but anyway there were a few gunsmiths doing extended mags for BSA's among others. One actually would cast Aluminium 10 shot mags. So I guess a few still floating around
