Sec1 shotgun length

[Blackstuff]

Any shotgun with a magazine capacity exceeding 2 cartridges must have a 24" (or greater) barrel.

S1 semi's and pumps must have a 24" barrel or greater AND have an OAL 40" or greater, otherwise they're S5.

S1 lever action guns must have a 24" barrel or greater but don't have the 40" OAL restriction.

O/U, SbS, single barrel etc can be held on S1 if they have a barrel shorter than 24", at which point they then must obey the 12" barrel / 24" OAL restriction.

Not quite, Mark.

Lever or bolt shotguns on s1 have to comply with the 12/24, not 24/40 rule.

?

Not sure what you're getting at. I'll reiterate...

Section 1 lever guns do NOT have to comply with a 24" minimum barrel length...

[Blackstuff]

It was implied that i'd said lever guns have to comply with the 40" OAL, and that i'd said bolt guns don't have to comply with the 12/24

I'll bow to your superior knowledge on the lever gun barrel issue. Its a pity no one appears to make a decent lever shotgun as a 14" barrel 5/6 shot would be booootiful
