Now triple the barrel length and remove the folding stock

Yeh I realise the barrel is WAY too short, but I presume a welded (shut) folding stock would be OK... You still get the look then.

If you plan on competing in PSG with one then just remember it puts you in Open class and I'm told they all smell ;P

I'll fit in just fine then...

What have you put in for?

8 Weeks! Christ!
Just a 1-for-1 plus the mods they missed off the grant and slug allowance for PSG

I don't read my own signature!

They quoted 10 and no guarantees at that. My original application only took 6 weeks. Hopefully yours will be a quick turnaround.

What are the general rules for slug and PSG? Someone at our club was explaining that you're not allowed slugs for metal targets, is that right? If so what are some of the targets made of?

Slugs (and buckshot) are generally used against card targets like this;



Slug can be used against steel but i think there's a minimum distance requirement of 40m (like the 5m one for using birdshot against steel - well, in IPSC matches anyway). Most clubs don't use them against steel because it dents/bends the sh*t of of them and the large steel gongs they're used on are bloody expensive!

Understood and thanks for the explanation!
