SSS Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 Not in this country. Only .22 rimfires can be semi automatic, for reasons beyond me. Someone will know why. :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welsh warrior Posted July 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 guess it must be to take down the fire power of the rifle ( ammont of lead sent down range) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rem223 Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 I believe the legislation came about after Hungerford. At the time there were no 17 rimfires so they only exempted .22 rimfires from the ban on ownership of semi automatic rifles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
