Gordon R Posted May 28, 2019 Report Share Posted May 28, 2019 Why can't Burnley Dave return? Now there was a thread worth resurrecting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildrat Posted May 29, 2019 Report Share Posted May 29, 2019 Sorry thought was place to discuss issues that pertain to shooting and try to avoid misinformation To stop ill-informed statements being taken as wrote, curtailing our sport buy allowing FEOs, dealers and others to assume what they know the Law is. I asked this question 5 years plus ago and had to ask my FEO whom passed it to the Force Weapon Examiner & Armourer who also referred issue to the Home office for clarification and got answer But still issue has people not knowing what is correct hence the comments just trying to help? Have PM to David BASC re information I was given to help anyone else that may wish to pursue similar aims I have asked dealer to order parts and been told are illegal but aren’t. Until all understand and is clear issue will affect us all. Until we all stand together as shooters we may go the way of the lever-release, MARS, !

It will only affect those who wish to fit exotic furniture to their weapons! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

praetorian48 Posted July 15, 2019 Report Share Posted July 15, 2019 Still at the end of this thread I can see zero black or white on what the answer is...a lot of speculation and inter-judgemental thought... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
English Posted July 15, 2019 Report Share Posted July 15, 2019 (edited) This is what got the authorities all hot and bothered about shotgun lengths and made a 40" minimum when drafting revised legislation post Hungerford A Franchi SPAS (Special Purpose Automatic Shotgun) with folding stock £325 back in the day and available on SGC that looked like a post card with no photo Edited July 15, 2019 by English Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steel100 Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 Slightly off topic but the SPAS 12 .... about the only polite thing I can say about it is, "Interesting". For the collector or arms student an iconic gun. Having handled and shot one 'back in the day', I have to say that personally, I think they were heavy, unreliable, uncomfortable to handle, ergonomically badly designed and very uncomfortable to shoot. That does NOT mean I disapprove of them. They were just designed by people who would not have to carry or use one! The Benelli M3 was a more elegant solution to the pump /semi-auto question.

Lord O War Posted July 19, 2019 Report Share Posted July 19, 2019 I have a deactivated SPAS 12, they look the dog dodahs but it is heavy. Not as heavy st the MG42 and MG34 though, the Germans carrying those things about must have been built like a brick outhouse! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
