variation question - straight pull

[kennyc]

So why have West Mercia specified bolt action and straight pull?

why do most Police Authorities do what they do ? because they can! don't try to work it out , you'll only get headache

So i could replace the Mosin Nagant with a Dragunov with no problem regarding the action?.Also with a 7.62/.308 i take it that refers to the calibre as opposed to any reference to case length?.....if thats the case bye bye Enfield hello SVT-40! (sorry if this question sounds a bit stupid)

If its a one for one just put down what you FLO wants to call it, Bolt Action off, Staight Pull on.

Down here you probably could...Couldnt vouch for your force area.

Durham make you specify exact calibre & chambering as well as action type but class a straight pull as a bolt action.

That said, when I asked for my 300aac Blackout slots they said it wasn't on the NFLMS so couldn't put it on, I said just put 30 cal but they insisted they couldn't do that, instead they found the nearest thing which was "300 calibre" which I suppose means I could get anything in .300 including 300 Win Mag!. I spoke to Wayne at NorthWest Custom parts about it when I was ordering my Handi Rifle, he said Manchester have no problem putting it on tickets, maybe they are sensible and just put 30cal?.

My two "straight-pulls" with Police Scotland are down as Bolt-Action rifles. On the application it was wanted to purchase/acquire one 7.62/.308win rifle and one .5.56mm/.223 Rem rifle; I did not specify action type as it's not normally necessary to do so.

Kent don't require action type, my .223 straight pull is down as a .223 rifle.

I had two 7.62/.308 slots and bought a mosin nagant sniper rifle (7.62x54r) and a straight pull AKM (7.62x39), had no questions about specific calibre or the action, if the seller is willing to sell to you then I can't see a problem, if the force say you have to specify the action then so be it.

On mine (Norfolk Police) both my 30 carbine and my .223 are both listed as:
Type: Rifle
Action: Straight Pull
