    look at Statue instruments 2008-2009 all RESTRICTED lists are on there, or look at Sparks moderators thread on the shooting forum

    Bullpup Rifles
    Folding stock shotguns
    Pistols over .22lr
    and Moderators on rifles over .22lr

    Just to name a few

    Only if the rifle it's on is restricted does the moddie become restricted

    At the moment for a new application realistically your looking at a .22lr ONLY restricted to 5 rounds.

    You'll have to be a member of an authorised range, have a safe installed, probably a monitored alarm system installed and almost definately have to have done a training course and hope your Super is reasonable

    I have had a few pistols previously including a .40 & a dreaded 9mm and 2 x .22lr's. I have today collected a Browning Buckmark .22lr, restricted to 5 rounds, and am as happy as the proverbial pig in ****e :)
