bruce 0 Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 Anyone know where i can get a converted .22lr that started life as a rifle and has been smoothbored so can be held on a sgc These were available everywhere 20-30yrs ago but i cant find one Quote Link to post
Ratman2 2 Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 I remember having one of these as a boy but I believe they were made smoothbore and only fired dust cartridges, effective range of about ten yards. Mine had a skelleton type stock and that's about all I can remember as my dear old Dad decided it was time for me to have a 410. Hope this helps a bit. Rob Quote Link to post

camgun 0 Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 I have a .22 shotgun, has a short barrel on it so its on the firearms ticket. I to used it for killing foxes at the end of a dig, it takes a .22 short or long. I have killed rats close range before with dust shot. Quote Link to post

comanche 3,001 Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 I have a .22 shotgun, has a short barrel on it so its on the firearms ticket. I to used it for killing foxes at the end of a dig, it takes a .22 short or long. I have killed rats close range before with dust shot. Sure someone will put me right but is there not some ambiguous legal wording regarding" smooth-bore .22 rim-fire shotguns" and the 24 inch barrel requirements? Quote Link to post
