malkiserow Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 Jonny, you will need to check this, but I think you can add a tube to make it up to 24 inches just make the bore a bit bitter than .410. Provided you never sell them you do not need a reproof. Let's see what the others say............ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 The revolver being a magazine which can hold more than 2 cartridges will always be on a FAC. so you may as well leave it as it is. As you need an FAC for one why don't you keep them both original? Several people I know just had a piece of tube welded on the end when the law came in about the 24" barrel. The actual bore of the extension was irelevant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HDAV Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 seems odd they will let you have one oddity smoothbore gun and not allow you the other 2. I know FAC is stricter than SGC but seems odd for 1" do you have an SGC at the moment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
