lexikia Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 Excuse my ignorance, but why are silencers / moderators not availlable by post and on FAC must be stated on licence? Not as though you can do any harm with one? Regards Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bedwards1966 Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 It's one of those stupid rules that obviously came about on a Friday night when everyone wanted to go home, so they just threw something together. It is stupid. Air rifle ones can be posted (due to not being on a certificate), and as you say there isn't much harm you can actually do with a mod - apart from hitting someone over the head perhaps! They are classed as a firearm, so have to have a suitable slot for one on your FAC. The only thing I know of that may be the reason for it is that someone going on a shooting 'spree' could do so more quietly with a moderator, but it is not sensible or even thought out!
