fortune82 Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 A gun maker? Unless it is a really expensive gun or of real sentimental value it probably wont be worth it financially. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Majyk Posted September 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 IGI Domino o/u 12 bore has a lot of sentimental value to me and ive found that getting spares is quite difficult? picking up the same type is fairly cheap so i thought buy a second and have it de-activated then use it for spares and repairs?

harv Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 Get a spare one but why deactivate it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Majyk Posted September 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 Get a spare one but why deactivate it? De-activate it as i dont think the law would like it if i were to buy another gun then take it apart for the spares and not tell them? if its de-activated then surely theyd feel more comfortable with that rather than the parts of a gun just seeming to disappear?

harv Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 You would always have all parts for both guns working or not and to deactivate it do the barrels get plugged/drilled? I have an old beretta pump which I've had for yrs in the cabinet with the action out and has become a joke on my behalf by my feo about not getting it fixed yet.

Mr Majyk Posted September 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 well lets just say in theory i have 2 guns, on one the barrels get damaged so i take the barrels from the other i then have an incomplete gun right so wont the law get funny about that? (i get rather paranoid about the law as id rather like to stay on the right side of it!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(i get rather paranoid about the law as id rather like to stay on the right side of it!) Both are licensed to you so I would think be ok??? Hopefully somebody on here has bought replacements and can clarify. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Majyk Posted September 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 maybe i should ask my fire arms officer??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekers Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 maybe i should ask my fire arms officer??? YES! However, if you have the appropriate paperwork and own both guns you can in essence do what you like with them. If you destroy one to make the other work simply write to your region and tell them what you have done, let them sort out the paperwork.

fortune82 Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 Deactivating the second gun would ruin it for spares. They plug the barrels, take the firing mechanism out and then drill the breech face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Majyk Posted September 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 well thats a very thorough de-activation! i'll see if i can e-mail my fire arms officer and ask him in detail whats best to do and how to go about it? my guns not worth much but id love to keep it working as its worth quite alot sentimentally.
