Rewulf Posted January 13, 2020 Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 Cant see why not, as long as the numbered parts and barrel are not kept, just take them to an RFD and inform licencing. But if in doubt, call them and check if its OK.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B725 Posted January 13, 2020 Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 Yes just tell them you can use the stock and forend that's why you have removed them after all it's only a bit of wood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodge911 Posted January 13, 2020 Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 ive just done 2 mate all I done was phoned firearms and asked if it was ok to drop them off at local station . their reply was yes that will be fine but to make sure they were broken down and to lock them in boot of car and go into station first to let them know I was about to bring firearms into building and once handed over they would give me a ref number to quote when letting licencing know the guns had handed in for destruction . which is exactly which I done and everything went fine could not have been easier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave at kelton Posted January 13, 2020 Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 Stock and for end are fine. The other bits to police or rfd as I understand the law, and get a receipt. If latter you will obviously need to notify fao. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steel100 Posted January 13, 2020 Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 I scrapped an auto a few years ago. I already had the same model and bought the 'scrapper' as someone had somehow blown up the barrel! The barrel was given to an RFD who wanted it to show customers what a bulged barrel could look like . I kept the stock, fore end, trigger mech and all the internal parts, plus the choke. The action body with mag tube attached and the bolt, minus useful bits was surrendered to the local FEO who was happy to take it off me and have it taken of my SGC. No problem and I got a load of useful bits for almost nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westley Posted January 13, 2020 Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 I bought a 'part auto' from a dealer, it consisted of stock, action, (minus bolt) barrel and 1 multi choke. Although the trigger assembly was fitted 3 of the major parts were missing, making it inoperative. When I bought it, the gun was sold as 'registered' as parts only and entered on my Certificate as such. I duly notified the local FEO who was not really bothered, as it was described as 'parts only'. I bought it to use as a pigeon gun, thus keeping my identical 30 years old model in mint condition. I just swap the trigger and bolt assemblies across, from one to the other to facilitate their use. I have also seen the locks from a derelict hammer gun fitted into a glass fronted 'box' after being polished, they make an attractive wall piece.

misser Posted January 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2020 Thanks gents for all the replies....I will take the general advice , strip it and hand the numbered parts to the local RFD...as you say they're only a couple of pieces of wood so cannot see a problem in retaining them...much appreciated...atb...missed.
