Good news for UK lp50 owners:
BREAKING NEWS!!!!
Today Monday 26th June 2017 we have officially been informed that the Steyr LP50 is indeed self indexing and not self loading as defined by section 57(2A) of the Firearms Act 1968. Therefore does not fall within any category of Section 5 or Section 1.
As the Steyr Hunting 5 Auto is the same mechanism and sub 12 foot pounds muzzle energy this also does not fall in the Section 5 category of self loading.
As a consequence we have ordered some Hunting 5 Autos . Will be on the website shortly for pre-order with deposit
.177 STEYR HUNTING SCOUT SA FULL CARBON SHROUD BUSHNELL ELITE 4200
That's really good news indeed!
Does that also now mean that the FAC versions could be allowed on ticket

Info is on uk site?
Common sense comes good, well done those officials who chose to see through the paranoia from over self regulated manufactures and their spokes people.
I guess that'll be in the upcoming HO Guide to Firearm Licensing, then.
Until it's in a GOV.UK statement, it's one little voice on an internet site.

What a load of cobblers, Tone. Utter and complete drivel.
If this is, indeed the case, that the LP50 system has been deemed legal, it's come after a hefty investigation into the status of that model. Making sure an airgun is legal before selling it to people is not 'paranoia' or 'over self-regulation', it's called taking responsibility and forms part of the trade's duty of care. If the trade had just gone ahead and sold these guns and the determination had gone differently, there would have been all sorts of condemnation.
If you don't know enough to judge - don't judge

As Steyr UK and Harry P have borne the brunt of this for many months I highly doubt they would post anything other than the truth.
The expert forensic chaps were asked by the Police for their opinion and they will have given it.
In my view the right opinion and good luck to Steyr UK.
