    I have a thing for bolts, so that's what most of my guns are.

A bolt with those limits works well and that's what most of the big calibres are anyway smile

    The shortest shotgun barrel we can have is 18".

    The restricted license allows you to own more stuff like handguns and short barrelled rifles.

    Some of the funny stuff you see up here is with guns like AK-47's and their ilk. Sold in semi-auto form and with a big clip that has a rivet in the side so it is pinned to 5 rounds, LOL!!

    We can have 14 inch shotgun barrels as long as overall lenght is 26" or more smile

    Interesting, that's not how it was explained to me by my PAL instructor but I do recall reading the overall length restriction as well so perhaps it is both column A and B? IE, if overall length is <26" but the barrel is >=18" you are OK? I can think that say a pistol grip shotgun that might fall into that category?

    OK, I found this gem:

    Yeah, looks like the rules are a bit Twilight Zone, LOL

    (Note the article is a tad dated and mentions the now obsolete registry but I believe the rules referenced haven't changed).

    Back in the mid 90's I almost bought a Rem 870 tactical with the 14 inch barrel at Ontario Sporting Supplies that was in Concord, but since went out of business. It was manufactured by Remington with the 14 inch barrel so it was completely legal. The price is what stopped me from getting it. I think it was around $1200 or so due to being rare at the time. I still wish to this day that I had bought it anyways!

  9. Electronic Muffs or Plugs?

    in Equipment and Supplies

    The big thing is the muffs do cover part of the ear and the bones inside I've been told by my Ear doctor.

    If it was up to him, foam plugs FOLLOWED by muffs. I've lost some of my hearing from flying planes, working in large Mainframe computer rooms and shooting. (and getting older)

    But I do have to wear a wide brimmed hat (family has a history of serious skin cancer) so muffs are out. (I guess I could mess with the sun block and then wear a normal hat)

    The closest I get to a fellow shooter is 100 yards unless they are with me. Then we just stand behind and the plugs work great.

    Like I've said before, I don't do formal ranges (esp indoor)

    Take care, Bill

    I don't blame you with the not "doing formal ranges" I go to my mother's farm to shoot. I like the freedom to shoot however I feel and not have other people around. Plus, it doesn't cost me anything other than the gas to drive there and back. In the future, I am planning on buying a piece of property (50-100acres) to build a house and construct a range on as well. Nothing like having your own private range!
