RE: Oh how I lust after something like this
Ah you know full well I am fundamentally opposed to gun licencing, and believe it is against my human rights, if I got an FAC it would be condoning an immoral act by the state.

RE: Oh how I lust after something like this
Get Feinstein on the forum now! Pistol grips, adjustable stock, large capacity magazines and decked out with a baby killer scope all finished in black... Hold me, I'm too scared to move!
Nice. Would like one but yes, no need for me to have one in the city and all the other reasons. Yaaay uk!

Single action black powder IIRC so how can I buy and own and fuel one of those without a licence ? Fascinating. my old CO used to have a pair of BP revolvers.

RE: Oh how I lust after something like this
Ah I see, my mistake, besides I'm a Rifleman / Carbine type of guy not a pistolier
Still crave a .22 TDR or TDC, .410 pump and or a 9mm para carbine, perhaps one day the loony liberal left will scare themselves to death with their fear and hysteria driven socialist society and some common sense will return.

ahem....
Quote:In the aftermath of the Hungerford massacre, the Conservative government passed the Firearms (Amendment) Act 1988.[55] This confined semi-automatic and pump-action centre-fire rifles, military weapons firing explosive ammunition, short shotguns that had magazines, and both elevated pump-action and self-loading rifles to the Prohibited category.[56] Registration and secure storage of shotguns held on Shotgun Certificates became required, and shotguns with more than a 2+1 capacity came to need a Firearm Certificate. The law also introduced new restrictions on shotguns.
and...
Quote:The Firearms (Amendment) Act 1997 was introduced by the Conservative Government of John Major following the Dunblane Massacre.
It effectively banned the possession of all handguns other than those chambered for .22 Rim-fire cartridges by civilians in most of the United Kingdom by making them subject to Section Five (Prohibited Weapons) of the Firearms Acts.
Tony Blair's Labour Government followed later in the year with the Firearms (Amendment) (No. 2) Act 1997 which banned .22 handguns.

Just correcting some disinformation, but your instruction is noted.

The Ar7 and all its copies are imho a bit flimsy....to much steel pressings and plastic...they shoot fairly well but after less than a thousand rounds things are get sloppy mag springs are fading and the accuracy has dropped off...not a long term consideration to me ...i'd prefer a 10/22 thats been breathed on by syss.
This is the Henry Survival Rifle which breaks down into butt-stock, barrel and receiver sections. I use an accessory stock on this one, not because it offers any real advantage but due to the "cool factor"
In spite of what anyone comes up with they will always hold this rifle as the standard; its as light as the AR7/its as accurate as the AR7/ it is more reliable than the AR7/it is as compact as the AR7.....blah...blah...blah...
Yet they can not come up with a single model that has all the advantages of the AR7.
Why not just get an AR7?
