spandit Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 I've taken my .22LR (Anschutz 525) to pieces as the stock has always been tatty and I'm going to refurbish it, and give everything else a decent clean in the meantime. Just wondering what bits need to be locked up. I've put the barrel, receiver and bolt in the cabinet but not sure if this is overkill. I'm presuming the barrel needs to be secured as you can't buy a spare one without a spare slot (or is that wrong?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saddler Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 Pressure bearing parts = bolt & barrel...plus in most cases the receiver/action too as they're normally permanently attached to the barrel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brett1985 Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 I know when it comes to shotguns, the general advice is that as long as the barrels are locked away and the rest of the gun is in bits then its all good... not sure on section 1 guns though! a quick call to your FLO should give you the official answer... it will probably differ from force to force, just like everything else!

Pressure bearing parts ... though an instant 'apart from' is a moderator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spandit Posted June 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 +1. Pressure bearing parts ... though an instant 'apart from' is a moderator. Does a mod. not need to be secured, then? I lock mine in my ammo cabinet, as it happens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spandit Posted June 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 My airgun mod is locked up anyway (does seem a bit bizarre that my PH mod could be bought without a licence to put on an airgun but suddenly becomes restricted because I want to fit it to a firearm) Thanks for the replies, anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbiep Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 Sorry. I meant that I generally take what would count as a firearm (or part of), and thus subject to security requirements as 'pressure bearing parts'. But I was pointing out that a moderator is not 'pressure bearing' but IS viewed as a firearm, so security applies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
