Mungler Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 I don't want one but just wondered what the legalities were of a folding stock like that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bob300w Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 Small firearms (the 1997 Act) 2.24 The 1997 Act prohibited any firearm which either has a barrel less than 30cm in length or is less than 60cm in length overall, other than an air weapon, a muzzle-loading gun or a firearm designed as signalling apparatus. The intention was to prohibit certain particularly dangerous firearms which were easy to conceal. In general terms, this has meant the prohibition of handguns but it is important to remember that the legislation does not refer explicitly to handguns; instead it refers to small firearms.

nthor Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 Hi There, i got one, u get a few looks when you first get seen with it, also where i shoot there i a public footpath so I have had MOP see me with it in the field that gets a real funny look. With a sling you can pop it under you coat if it rains so the scope is clear when you get a shot, just watch your fingers when you extend it back out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spynappels Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 In the latest Airgunner,(or is it Airgun World?), there is an article about a bloke who put an air rifle action onto one of these stocks and he reckoned the magic number is 600mm too. He made a good job of it too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
