Sat Rat Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 This was sent to me by a work colleague today interesting article, here is the link if you wish brush up on your Swedish https://svenskjakt.se/ License requirements for silencers are discontinued The requirement for the hunters to have a special license for silencers is eliminated. The proposal for implementation of the EU Weapons Directive, which was handed over to the government today, proposes that silencers and removable magazines be treated in the same way as ammunition. A comprehensive memorandum of nearly 300 pages on the implementation of the EU's new arms directive was handed over to Justice Minister Morgan Johansson, investigator Kazimir Åberg today. A change that is positive to the hunters is that there will no longer be any special license to hold mufflers. Like ammunition The new legal text means that silencers will be considered and regulated in the same way as ammunition today, that is, the buyer and the proprietor must have a license on the weapon for which the silencer is intended. If there are simplifications about silencers, it will be more difficult and more bureaucracy in terms of magazine. The proposed legal text regulates that removable magazines may only be held by the licensor for the weapon the magazine is adapted to. The same applies as described in the text as "firing mechanisms". Long-term question "The abolition of license requirements for silencers is a matter that the Swedish Hunters Association has been driving for many years, so that part of today's proposal is very positive," says the Hunters Association Communications Manager Magnus Rydholm in a comment. A hope of the change is that in many cases, the police will be extremely short handling times for license applications, by avoiding coping with a variety of applications for silencers. Swedish Hunting returns with further reporting on what the changes mean to the Swedish hunters, as well as the Swedish Hunters Association's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zetter Posted January 10, 2018 Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 If only they would do the same over here. Its always seemed nuts to me that I have a slot for a piece of aluminium and if I want to swap it I have to send my certificate back to buy a different shaped bit of aluminium Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
