Just getting into this Chuck, can we have the next instalment tomorrow please?

Clearly unlike L85's, the cricket bad is still an effective weapon in the dust bowl, all it needs is a little occasional linseed oil!

Can someone who's read the latest edition of the EU document and who's perhaps more up to speed with their proposal, advise what they're still proposing to ban or limit please?

1) Converted SA > FA rifles (banned)
2) Anything else?

Also... what about the issue of defining lethality and putting obsolete calibres on ticket? Do we know what they plan to do?

See what I can do, but don't want to hijack the thread

Weird reading it now - I used to lap that stuff up.

Dated 1st April but unfortunately doesn't seem to be an April fool's gag:

http://www.armietiro.it/moduli/articoli ... 4-2016.pdf

Latest draft looks to prohibit any semi auto with a capacity of more than six rounds, any semi auto with a pistol grip and any semi auto less than 830mm in length. They also appear to propose that existing owners of the stuff they want to ban would be able to keep it, but that they would not be able to transfer ownership by any means. So it would lose any monetary value and presumably have to be destroyed. Time to write to your MEPs again.

no, you need to read point 98

Suggest to delete A7 and re-instate B7: BG, EE, FR, IT, LT, MT, SK, FI, CH
.
SE: ”Semi-automatic long firearms for civilian use which have or can be equipped with magasines with a
capacity exceeding 5 rounds, or firearms which are constructed in a way that they are more appropriate for
combat than for hunting.”

Category B — Firearms subject to authorization
B7:7. Semi
-automatic firearms for civilian use which resemble weapons with automatic mechanisms


so they are suggesting that any semi auto that resembles a full auto needs to be subject to authorisation as a cat B firearm. Which is what it is at present. Rather than they original, where it was a cat A - banned

Are you sure? They appear to be the 'technical specifications' discussed at 3A (page 2) and I don't remember them from the last draft.

Brad's right, the proposed A7 which would have been the ban is removed and B7 reinstated in their proposed directive, just seems to be technical specs as stated.

B astards.
