Just looking at a copy of Shooting Sports (January 2019) which I was given at the club last night...

Southern Gun Company has an advert that says "WAIT FOR NEW MODEL 9mm and .45ACP"......

Is Bob now going to be doing straight-pull versions of our Lever Release rifles then?

I remember that.... He didn't describe the actions and was not at the practical show he was supposed to be at. Might be something else.....

Nope. Once a section 5, always a section 5.
But you could do the work before they are banned, however it could be better and most likely easier to get the compensation and buy another rifle.

Good deals with Paul101, Charlotte the flyer, majordisorder, Charlie Muggins, among others. Thanks everybody.

The real problem with this type of legislation is it's being pushed through because of a perceived problem, not in response to a real problem. When the next Home Secretary needs to be seen to be "tough on gun control" to placate some ill informed but loud minority group, what's next? Banning hand loading? Lever actions? Military looking rifles? Licencing air guns?


I really don't know what the answer is - we've lost so much ground over the years and will continue to do so unless there is some sort of cataclysmic shake up in politics and those that control the media.
THIS!!!!

I don't think people are grasping what has been achieved by the government here, this is a precedent. There was no incident driving this and previously the government only 'dared' to ban things through having a 'good reason' to sell it to the public e.g. Hungerford, Dunblane. Now the de riguer is that they can claim that terrorists/criminals MIGHT want to get hold or particular guns, and provide NO evidence that this is the case, they can effectively now just work down a list every couple of years and cross off various guns/actions/sports/uses etc. And wobitide an actual large scale incident happens. In conclusion. We are f**ked. :cry:

Here's another worrying (and surprising) example of political manoeuvring.
