You can do a sub. Easy to do only takes a couple of weeks and will last for the duration of your existing licnece.

You can do a substitution but only if it's like for like.

Now the like for like depends on your Super.

Some will sub any unrestricted firearm for another unrestricted firearm. Others are more awkward and will only sub a .22lr for another. 22lr and so on.
