Scully Posted March 26, 2015 Report Share Posted March 26, 2015 Yes. 2+1 is Section 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tattooed Posted March 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 The sales man in the local gun shop said you need a fac because it fires 3 shots. He also said that pump action shotguns are not welcome at clay grounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie092 Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 I'm sure others will be along to comment on your local gun shop but I regularly shoot my Super Nova at clay grounds. It is the gun I use for rough shooting so like to get a bit of practice in now and again. As long as you are sensible with it, keep it flagged between stands and be extra careful where you point it at all times then in my opinion you won't come across any problems at 99% of clay grounds.

compo90 Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 The salesman is a plank As long as the magazine only holds 2 (plus the 1 in the chamber) its a section 2 shotgun on a sgc, (unless it was shortened below a certain length) He is right about clay grounds though they aren't big semi auto fans .........

DeepThought Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 (edited) Granted I'm fairly new to all this but I'm yet to encounter any grief from anyone at a clay ground over use of a semi auto.The tweed army might look down their noses at you but you can just ignore them, as long as you're safe then as far as the ground owners are concerned your money is as good as anyone's and if they didn't want your gun there they wouldn't permit them.Certainly if I owned a clay ground and I found people bullying others on account of the value of their gun I'd be less than impressed.

compo90 Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 I very rarely shoot clays and was just repeating the stereotype ....... Its harder to tell a semi is safe than a break barrel gun, that's all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly if I owned a clay ground and I found people bullying others on account of the value of their gun I'd be less than impressed. Pump action and semi autos more often than not make a mess, cartridges strewn about. Untidy shooters expect others to tidy up after them, it is also true to say that sometimes the cartridges cannot be collected due to where they land. No one has mentioned value/price of the gun. If you use a semi or pump invest in a flag so it can be seen to be safe from a distance as well as up close, and a magnetic stick to collect your spent cartridge cases and you will not have any problems.

DeepThought Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 Look, lets not turn this into yet another drama over semi auto users at clay grounds, we're all grown ups who hopefully don't need to be patronised about range safety and picking up litter. I just wanted OP to know that semis/pumps are acceptable at most clay grounds if the rules are followed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bakerboy Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 No one was being patronised. Safe shots no matter what style of gun is used are welcome at all shooting grounds. As are tidy shooters, again no matter what style of gun is used, often O/U users are as untidy as any, with spent cartridges The only patronising statement made was perhaps,"Certainly if I owned a clay ground and I found people bullying others on account of the value of their gun I'd be less than impressed."

DeepThought Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 It does seem odd that someone who sells guns for a living would have such a poor understanding of the law. There are a couple of section 1 Supernovas on Gun Trader, maybe somebody somewhere got confused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaun4860 Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 It does seem odd that someone who sells guns for a living would have such a poor understanding of the law. I went into a gunship about 10 years ago to ask about his prices for transferring a gun up here, He replied "you can't do that it's illegal" Just turned around and left Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brett1985 Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 what the guy in the shop told you speaks volumes for th state of affairs within some parts of the gun trade.... some shops will employ anyone to do a job that realistically needs someone with at least a basic amount knowledge to be successful. luckily i have only ever been to a couple of gun shops were i have had this type of experience, but i can tell you for certain, i would never go back.

Mutiny Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 its 5 shot for section 1 mate on pump action sg No it's not, a magazine capacity of more than two makes it section 1. 2+1 goes on your shotgun certificate, 3+1 goes on your firearm certificate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
