brown dog Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 Two thick questions on shotguns (I’m not even vaguely up to speed on shotguns!): Can a 5 shot FAC shotgun be converted to a 3 shot SGC; or is it ‘once FAC always FAC’? And, for a pump on SGC is the requirement the same as the FAC requirement of 24" barrel 40” overall length (if I have that correct?) or does the SGC shotgun have different dimensional requirements?

baldie Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 Pumps and auto,s are both governed by the 24" barrel rule. Its possible to convert section one to section two, but not easy. The police do not like it. It would not be economically sensible either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldie Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 Is this for PSG Matt ? If so, dont even consider a 3 shot/sgc gun....its a complete waste of time for the sport. Get a variation and get an fac version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tackb Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 yes an fac scattergun can be reclassifyed as sgc and vice versa but i'm pretty sure the spas 12 was an exception in as much as if it had the folding stock then it couldnt be reclassifyed but if it originally had the fixed stock then you were ok? make sense(probably not) it's the same regs as far as i'm aware for pump or semi auto?

No, it's for a low hassle pump for poultry protection - putting a coop in - it's why I'm on the lookout for a beaten up 870 or similar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
