Thank you. Do you happen to know what it worth ? Deactivated

A lot  less than if it wasn't. What sort of deactivation certificate has it got? Some forms of earlier deacts can't be legally re sold now. Its a bit of a difficult area, very confusing information from the powers that be

People are reluctant to buy deacts because they fear more legislation.

So does deactivated just mean the chamber is welded up?  If so could you not rebarrel it? 

There’s a lot more to it than that I’m afraid. Nowadays the whole point of deactivation is to render the firearm totally incapable of being reactivated.

Thank you for the info guys 👍🏻 I won’t be selling it was just curious. I will keep the gun for display because it’s a gorgeous looking gun. I will in the future look at getting it deactivated if possible with following all the right laws and regulations. Appreciate it guys 😊

That’s a shame.  But a lever action permit is easy to get is it not?  I would think it to be similar to a bolt action.  Plus the cost of a cabinet of course.  But I guess it would be to late now anyway.  I just hate to see family heirlooms destroyed.

I’m afraid in our nation of authoritarian bed wetters, ANY working firearm capable of using commercially available ammo is subject to the strictest vetting and legislative procedures. 
In view of the post below, make that read ‘ANY working or none working firearm’! See what I mean. 🙂

Louis unfortunately you can’t, you have to submit it to a RFD to store it or have it deactivated to current standards if it’s deactivated to old spec ( eg the action cycles ) 

 

Hi modafinale. Sorry don’t quite understand what you mean. Are you saying I can’t have it reactivated? Bit of a pain if not 😔 I’m happy to have it deactivated to current standards and report to home office that it is under my possession. That would be okay wouldn’t it ? So confusing all these laws. Thanks for your help though pal appreciate it.

Hi Louis 

if the rifle was deactivated before I believe 2016 it would be the old style ie- The action works 

it is illegal to sell, loan or gift 

has to be surrendered to RFD for either correct deactivation or destroyed 

(you can’t legally keep it unless it’s the newer deactivated )

the new deactivated firearms are welded so don’t work.

also the latest update 2020 you have to notify the home office that you have a deactivated firearm ( no cost involved)

 

hope that helps 

Dean

That’s interesting. I sold two in the late ‘90’s I’d bought in my teens. I wonder if he knows! 🙂
