    Steyr Match Pistol Legality.

    Isaw a thread somewhere on here about a dealer just having his stock of Steyr LP50 confiscated for contravening S5. Is this true? What are the authorities basing this on? Surely and airgun of any type can't be classed as semi automatic as there's no cartridge involved?

    I know there have been discussions on BBS, but there is an active one on UBC which may be the same story:

    Hope the link works!

    Too many guns, or not enough time?

    Thanks Modski. That's the thread I saw. Just got my forums muddled up.

    I thought the idea was that they had to fire repeatedly without you having to release the trigger before an air pistol would fall foul of these regulations? The Steyr doesn't do that, does it?

    The NSRA home page has an article on this issue. The article follows a recent meeting with the Police etc. It looks like it will be a while before this issue is resolved. Peter

    That Article is worth a read.

    No doubt you will think what I think about the meeting,those present, and the action suggested.
    But then again you may not.
