12" barrel...24" overall
FAC and SGC pump/semi
24" barrel plus overall minimum length of 40"

Correct. 20" barrels on a pump-action > prohibited under Section 5(1)(ac)

This seems to happen every other month on GT, some RFD gets a US spec pump-action, sells it on GT, they get reported and said shotgun immediately gets pulled from the ads. See you in 2 months

Sorry to hijack the thread.
Now I know that others cannot use a S1 pump/semi shotgun or LBR/LBP without having the slot on their certificate.
How about a short barrel S1 shotgun, IE sxs 12" barrels 24" OAL. For instance could a non FAC holder use it with the supervision of the owner that has it on their ticket?

Nope - club approvals are for rifles (of any legal type) and muzzle loading pistols.
S1 or S2 shotguns and LBR / LBP's fall outside of that and exist in a grey area for us all to misunderstand and argue about. :cheers:
