i work with baikal mp 153 semi auto, jsut takes the 3 shots mine is crimped like that so no 5's for me unless i get a new catridge tube, whats ideas do you have a for a shottie , presumably a pump or semi if your applying for it on a FAC??

ye semi-auto. dont see the appeal of a pump action in realistic terms for shooting due to loss of reload time and shooting position apart from the fact its a pump action (might appeal top some people ) yes 5 or 7 shot. as many as possible basically. does anybody find that using a moderator is at all effective? cheers jack

moderator on a 12 bore no idea on that one i aint seen one nor do i know how it works, as for the semi i think baikal make a 9 shot version but id imagine the weight loaded would be pretty serious.

....and gun balance will change with every shot.....FAC shotguns are not really designed for quality shooting...perhaps hide pigeon shooting at 10 yards or blowing doors off hinges...oh yes...and whist purchase price will be the same or more than a non FAC shotgun, the resale price will be about half...if you can shift it at all!!

thats what i would have thought but its literally for pigeon shooting. maybe thinking of getting a second hand one. i dont intend to sell it either so that wont be a problem. regards, jack

Hi can anyone confirm if you can have an fac shotgun for pigeons as i have been led to believe that i could not get one for this purpose i could only get it for practical shotgun?

hi, fac shot guns are allowed for vermin destruction and practical shot gun shooting on an approved range.mine i have on ticket for vermin destruction .ihave a 10 shot "commando" brand[very PC name!] pump action 12bore i bought new in the eighties,,when i bought it it came with a pistol grip which you fitted by removing the stock and bolting it on,great fun for playing rambo but a definite no-no since the 1988 firearms act .they are worth sod all secondhand but this is a bonus if you are buying used.it will vary form county to county i know ,but ihave found this is the only type of gun that firearms depts really do not like and will try and discourage ownership..cheers greasemonkey
