I'm not sure that's correct, Beerhunter... as far as I know, anything that replicates a semi-auto centrefire in design, function or appearance is a Category D/Category R and miles out of reach of the average shooter. Doesn't matter if it's straight pull, pump action or actually a semi-auto. Surely if it were otherwise half the shooters in Australia would own a "straight pull" L1A1, AR-15 or Kalashnikov-type rifle?
