Fuji Shooter Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Hi A friend has a Smith and Wesson pump for sale but its on an FAC - what is the procedure (or is it possible) to convert it to a 3 shot and move it to a SGC. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_b_wales Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 I have a shotgun which is FAC. I was told that I could not sell it as an 'ordinary' shotgun, not even if the tube was crimped. Check with your FEO or a gun dealer, they might say different.

Jonno243 Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 I have a shotgun which is FAC. I was told that I could not sell it as an 'ordinary' shotgun, not even if the tube was crimped. Check with your FEO or a gun dealer, they might say different. Steve I believe that this is the case. As I understand it, once something is classed as a firearm it will always be so, i.e. even if you crimp the magazine or have an FAC air-rifle downrated it still remains as a firearm. Like Steve says, check with your FEO and they should be able to advise properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the-12bore-kid Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 I saw i 9 shot mossberg 500 pump action for sale in my local gunshop i fell inlove with it and had to buy it but all i had was sgc. so gunsmith had it crimped and sent it to proof house to be proofed it gets a little stamp on the mag tube with the year it was done,it took two weeks once done i had a call and collected on my sgc. if you want it get your mate to take it to your local gunsmith and get him to sign it over to the gunshop and get it crimped then once done gunsmith will sign over to you for a small fee,it cost me £70 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuji Shooter Posted January 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Thanks for that info - I have a gun in with Potter and Walker (if they ever fix it) I'll ask him if he can do anything when I pick it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
