Albert 888 Posted May 1, 2016 Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 I know this is on gunwatch,but can someone enlighten me on the section 54 law. I am in position of a fac and quite fancy something a bit different for target shooting, this style of rifle would be ideal for the comps I do. Would I need a variation to make,hold and shoot the rifle target only. Also are they accurate enough to compete against enfields and p14 type service rifles. Cheers Albert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Albert if you wanted to shoot it would have to go on fac but you could own it as a collectable and not put on fac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Albert No idea what the seller is on about either. Think they're getting mixed up with Section 58 (of the 1968 Firearms Act) Edited May 1, 2016 by saddler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
