Unfortunately they are, we do not normally have lectures with displays of deactivated weapons, but this is the only way we can own bren guns, last months talk was on the Boys Anti Tank rifle which concluded with shooting one on our 30M indoor range using the .22 adaptor. Several of our members have these including one chambered in .50 BMG.

Very basically: The barrel is slottted, pinned to the receiver with the pin through the front of the chamber so that it can not chamber a round & welded in place, plus the breach block face is ground approx 45 deg. The barrel can not be removed.
