Planning on filling my Sec1 slot in the near future and have been looking at what's around.
Wondering about the barrel and over-all length for a Sec1 semi.
Looking online the consensus appears to be an over-all length of 40 inches is required but some sites say a 24 inch barrel minimum as well - others say barrel doesn't matter as long as O/L is 40 inches.
I've looked in the latest guidance (2014) and under section 2.8 it says...
"the 1988 Act raised to the prohibited category (see Chapter
3) all self-loading and pump-action models which are either short-barrelled (under 24 inches)
or short in overall length (under 40 inches). For the purpose of calculating overall length any
detachable, retractable or other movable butt-stock should be disregarded. References to
‘shotguns’ in the 1968 Act may be taken generally to mean section 2 shotguns, rather than
those subject to sections 1 and 5 of the 1968 Act, unless otherwise stated."
Could I take the high lighted section above to mean section 1 shotguns aren't subject to the section 2 shotgun lengths stated?
Any advice before I treat Gwent Firearms Licensing to another round of 'I know the guidance better than you do'
FYI: I've won the last two rounds
