So haven't started yet but I am stripping and re-painting/hydro dipping a semi auto shotgun just for the hell of it. Whilst its being done certain parts will be removed and the gun will be split into stock,action,forestock and barrel. What would be the law about storage. Problem I have is it will have to hang to dry at points and wont be able to be stored in a gun safe possible for up to a week . Some parts may even need to be left in my workshop overnight whilest they are drying and being washed or polished . The internal parts like the piston,spring etc ain't with the gun at all. Only myself doing the work and no one else has access to the workshop
