stonecutter Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 (edited) Hi Guys & Gals, been a long time visitor who has just now joined. Coming from the UK things are a little different for us on the wrong side of the pond! Despite the restrictions I have been an active shooter at home and abroad for many years now. Traveling to AZ to shoot in several comps in your country " the Ernie Hill Dessert Classic" to name but one! Look forward to getting more involved.

Hi-Power Jack Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Welcome aboard, Mate Whatja shootin'? Allowed to reload in the UK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stonecutter Posted October 3, 2016 Author Share Posted October 3, 2016 Hi Guys, yes fortunately we are still able to reload here in the UK. I have a Dillon 550B & a Dillon SQDB. Our firearm options are a bit limited compared to you guys, the only semi auto firearms are .22 only so we have Ruger 10/22 & Smith M&P 15-22 & the pistols have to have a long barrel and a long rod sticking out the back! With an overall total length of 24" the same goes for revolvers but a least than can be in proper calibres, 38,357,.45, 44 etc... its bloody ridiculous but them's the rules!

Not sure how they'd categorize a 24" gun as a "Pistol" ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure that the bad people out there would just take a hacksaw to both ends! They call them Long Barrel Pistols" LBP's" or Long Barrel Revolvers "LBR's" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
