hunting 5 lp50

[gingernut]

You certainly won't be reading about it on the North Yorks Police website.

I think a hunting scout 5A is going to be my next rifle!!

I wonder if other manufactures will follow suit?

[gingernut]

I imagine Steyr have Patent Protection.

[angrybear]

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.

Presumably that decision has come from the police who were investigating the matter, and as such would appear to show/set legal precedent

[Jerry Cornelius]

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

I can't see this ending well.

I wish it would, but for all sorts of reasons it won't. I can see the front page picture of a grim faced copper holding one and the BAN THESE WEAPONS OF DEATH headline already.

If it's true, maybe.

The HO Guide to Firearms Licensing is published each year, so we'll see.
I'm certainly not going to go by Mr Preston's Internet posts.

Seller of questionable item now says item is no longer questionable. Who benefits?

Conflict of interest?

I see no robust information stream.

Time will tell.

Don't sound so disappointed - Owners of LP5 & LP50 benefit from a GREAT Importer who provides GREAT Service

[maxtich]

May be we can throw the brexit fiasco/ Exchange rate into the equation,and it certainly is not any good for any of us who wanted to import these??

We'll see what ??

If it has been legally established that the action is self indexing & therefore legal, rather than self loading which would be illegal then that's that.

Not that I can see any point to it myself.

I'm not disappointed, Mr Snap. I'm up for clarity and standardisation of our overly-arcane gun laws. God knows we need it!
I don't yet see a robust, centralised statement that we can refer to.

Until then....

Quite. ''If''.

[RichardH]

He would be very foolish to have put that statement up if it's untrue.

[snock]

If that's the case we'll quickly see more reports corroborate the story.

Well, I'm willing to celebrate by opening a tin of peaches.

Any other quote I have from Deadwood would result in an instant ban! Still, in the words of Mr Woo: you are all..
