Brings back some memories mine had a folding stock in the early 80s and my tiny little shotgun certificate I got from the post office, happy days. Have a bump on me.

Yes - never seen a UK one with the push button. They have a second 'Quick Safety' lever on the other side that people use instead (as it's quick!) - although the main safety still works on this one!

What is that muzzle device? That's not the standard UK model extended brazed on choke.

I'm guessing as its a 1983 gun it was extended in the UK with a tube, rather than the post 1987 ones that came into the UK with the extended choke already brazed on.

Remember reading the review in 'GUNS REVIEW' in early 1980's when they first arrived in UK .

When pistols were very popular and semi auto rifles too - sadly lost to us .

Pretty sure it's been min 24 inches since 1968.

You could have a semi or pump action on FAC with a sub 24" barrel before the 1988 Amendment Act was enacted at which point they became section 5(1)(ac) prohibited weapons.

Correct - You could have shorter barrels on an FAC pre '88...

This is disgusting, not only the further restrictions on overall length but the price vs inflation! born to late in my case
