[Pinfire shotguns]

If you read the "home office advice to police on firearms" which is freely available as a download on the internet you will read the following paragraph:-

Section 8 Antiques

Part I: Old weapons which should

benefit from exemption as antiques

under section 58 (2) of the Firearms

Act 1968

8.5 Pre-1939 weapons to benefit from

exemption as antiques are as follows:

a) All muzzle-loading firearms;

B) Breech-loading firearms capable of

discharging a rimfire cartridge other than

4mm, 5mm, .22 inch or .23 inch (or their

metric equivalents), 6mm or 9mm rimfire;

c) Breech-loading firearms using ignition

systems other than rimfire and centrefire

(These include pin-fire and needle-fire

ignition systems, as well as the more

obscure lip fire, cup-primed, teat fire

and base fire systems);

 

What this means is if you keep a pin fire gun as a curiosity or an ornament as per sec 58(2)of the firearms act 1968 it is exempt from certificate procedure. It does not need to be deactivated. The important bit is "curiosity or ornament" it must not be used. If it is used then it must be on a certificate.

[gun catching on vest]

A friend who has just started at sporting clays is complaining that the rubber butt plate on his gun is catching on his vest (leather panels) as he mounts the gun, spoiling his shot. He is looking for suggestions of anything he can put on the the gun which will stop this.I suggested he could put electrical insulation tape on it as that is what i have used in the past as a cheap and cheerful solution. No smart A*se replies please.

Thanks
