Re: Hunting PA with a semi-auto???
Any exemption for pest control?

Re: Hunting PA with a semi-auto???
Even if you load each round by hand it still not completely manually operated since it will eject the round for you.

Re: Hunting PA with a semi-auto???
My point is that it doesn't matter if it feeds, ejects, has a mag etc, etc.
The design is a semi-auto. IOW: the fact it extracts the shell on firing if single loading is NOT the reason it is prohibited. You could remove the extractor and single load it and it is STILL a semi-auto (but broken) firearm. = Not legal for THAT reason.

Re: Hunting PA with a semi-auto???
Ah ok, gotcha I didn't understand what you were getting at. PGC is really stringent like that? I was under the impression that people could make permanent[or really hard to reverse] modifications of semis which would then be legal for hunting.

I don't have a short temper, I just have a quick reaction to bullshit.

Re: Hunting PA with a semi-auto???
by "permanent" they mean the gas system is permanently deactivated, like welded over, etc.
i myself have a 20" flattop AR15 upper that I use to hunt ground hogs.
the barrel is free floated, and has NO gas port, gas tube, or even a gas block.
effectively, its a straight pull bolt action.
it will "auto load" under spring action, but i have to pull the charging handle for each shot to load and eject, so something like an EXTRA power recoil spring is handy also.
I had a game commission officer FREAK when he saw it, but he calmed down quick enough, luckily i got one that wasn't a complete thickhead moron when it comes to guns, like most of them
i need to get another flattop upper and have the side slotted so i can install a left hand holt handle for easy loading."Oderint Dum Metuant" - BMFH
