From SI 21/2008



This is unrestricted, anything other than this is restricted. So the SR-22 is unrestricted.



Seems to be. Nice enough though.

just to go off subject for a sec but does this apply to . 22 handguns?

Going off topic......... .............. no need to be sorry. Have you seen my last 3 or 4 posts. . Nothing to do with shooting (really), but don't tell the mods.

If i'm not mistaken (fingers crossed) any .22 cal pistol with a mag capacity of 5 rounds or less (or single shot) is deemed unrestricted. Anything else is restricted, and as restricted licenses for short firearms (pistols) are not being issued anymore it cannot be gotten.

Question is what is a 5 shot .22 pistol. I'd like one myself. .40s&W ammo is not freely available so it would be nice to have the lighter option.
But 5 shot sounds like one of these pure comp jobbies

FYI have a look at this previous thread, which has some info about a couple of the non-restricted .22 target pistol. Hope this helps!

Ah there is two much reading lol
under a grand €€ and s/a or Revolver if available please.
Can i licence a .22 conversion for my glock LEGALLY and above board??
Or would a second pistol be the easier option??

I'll await your response Sir!:D:D:D

Cass

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm............... cgi-ed....................aaaaaaggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhh






:D:p

You will have to get the dealer / gunsmith to put in a block in the mag to restrict it to the 5 rounds allowed. This is easily done and any dealer worth his salt should be well used to doing this by this stage.

under a grand €€ and s/a or Revolver if available please.

Most of the ones mentioned should be in or around the grand - Definitely so if they're second hand.

If you have a glock licensed already, keep it! Good god, man, don't be giving that up too easily!:D

Not sure about the conversion kit side of things at all. So can't help there.

Cass

Here is an excellent option (i think).

Feinwerkbau AW93 Target pistol


If its as good as their rifles i cannot see a problem. Its in the shooting for sale/wanted section under "bits for sale".

im slowly swaying towards the hammerli x-esse only 675 from duffys

I'd do it myself but is it acceptable?


If you have a glock licensed already, keep it! Good god, man, don't be giving that up too easily!:D God no, I was thinking more like a sako Quad type job, On pistol 2 barrels

My glock is my pride and joy, 4 mags & Galco leather holster.
I'd just like more than 1, but I'd be afraid HIMSELF would say why would I NEED more than 1

On a related note to the OP, the SIG 522 is going a storm in the US right now.
Set you back about only $500 (My big boy version, the -556 cost me some $1500), not only is it nice and cheap fun, but it's also selling very well with dads who want to get their son or daughter a rifle that looks like Dad's, but when the kid is too young to really handle a centrefire rifle.

Shoots fairly well, apparently. You won't be winning Olympic competitions with it, but it'll do most else you may want.







GSG-5 sold very well as well.

What's the chances you could apply for a SIG-522 rifle, the Gard doing the paperwork would automatically assume that as a .22LR, it wasn't going to be an EBR (Evil-looking Black Rifle), and process it?

NTM

It wasn't me!

You'd be legally obliged to apply for it as a restricted firearm due to the ridiculous "looks like an assault rifle" criterion. Stupid, but there you go.

Going slightly off topic (kinda), if we are on the topic of nice rifle that we would like to have, seen 2 of these in Atlantic Sports in Carlow, brand new LRS2 Tactical .................



............. i've seen these before and seen lads getting excellent results with them. The ones in Carlow are .308 cal and if money/license was not issue i would like to have one.

Anyone any actual experience with them? They are around the Sako TRG money, but are they around the performance?

I shot the older model in 300 win mag.....
It was a peach to shoot....Very comfortable and the trigger is sweet as a nut and the action is typical Blaser(nice) it was stupid accurate.....

he is using sub sonic ammo.... same as a 22lr sub in velocity but with a heavier bullet head..most likely a cast lead head for expansion...

Whats the legality of buying a 1022 ruger and then an after market stock?
such as

http://www.cabelas.com/p-0050094228644a.shtml

or this (guy I know in California does these ad they really look and feel great, real wood and steel)

http://www.1022fungun.com/store/pc/home.asp

If you went with the chicago style, you could legimately say its not a military style look, more 1920s gangster!

It wasn't me!

If it resembles an assault rifle (You can already tell how hazy that's going to be, just at the thought of the clueless people devising a cosmetic restriction) then it's restricted, and if you made it look like an assault rifle after you bought it and licensed it as unrestricted, then you're in possession of a firearm for which you do not have a valid licence.

cavan shooter

if i read it right then the tommy gun has a dummy magazine, so its only 10 shot, Now the question
does it resemble an assault rifle???
Could you shoot targets with it or rabbits

The .mil version had the straight mag and no fore-grip.
So this one would be an "assault rifle"


But this one was never fielded by the military



You could legitimately argue that its a gangster gun

Then again you could argue that your allowed to carry a firearm upon your person if you are a knacker... crack out the track bottoms and preggers GF lads

Grizzly 45

I already have a few CF rifles, I was thinkng of something for plinking / virmin control to be honest

Grizzly 45

Personally.I'd stick with the ruger 10/22.you can trick it out to whatever you want it to be alot easier than this new one.Which is a 1st gen so it might have problems not yet discoverd.

You have to have a certain "class" to have a thompson.


Apart form the USMC in the 1920s down in Central America in the so called "bananna wars" in El Salvador and Nicarauga.
Not to mind our own Irish Republican Army in the war of independance who then morphed into PDF and Finna Fail:rolleyes::rolleyes: where it got the nickname of "the rattlebox".So unfortuneatly an army has used this as well.Not that it actually makes a blind bit of difference wether an army has or had used it to our crazy liscensing laws.:rolleyes:

Not so sure about that.
I think it was used initially by the US Navy, but also by the British.
