Semi automatic multi shot airrifle ???

[charub]

Correctomundo!! Cannot have a rifled barrel semi-auto air rifle here in the UK as it is deemed illegal.

Does this mean that one of ben taylors much hyped smooth twist barrels would bypass this law (playing devils advocate)

I would argue that the barrel is not a smooth barrel which does not impart any spin on the projectile.

It relies on a shape at the end to shape and rotate the pellet/bullet as it passes though and out of the barrel.

To all intents and purposes it is a type of rifling.

As for SA 22LR, your welcome to them. Bl00dy horrible things.

Steyr, Next time you are over my way. Kingston / Wimbledon or Bisley area... let me know and I'll convert you to a semi auto fan!!!

Many have tried to resist, and failed.

Will let you know as I'm seeing him this week but in all honesty the water is a bit murky here and as said by others, no manufacturer really wants to stick their neck on the line or break a gentlemans agreement. I have heard though that Daystate have been looking at a SA for the American market.
I'd go for a rimmie though as these are brilliant fun and do what they're supposed to. More to go wrong on an air rifle if you want SA especially at our lower powers plus it would push the price up too. Airrifles as you know are already dearer than firearms.

Nope, it spins the projectile so is "Rifled" just not as you know it.
