    What about people with early spec deac Brens that you can remove the barrel ......do the police regard these as a component pressure bearing part ?
    Both items submitted at a sanctioned proof house and both bare the proof masters signature.

    Do you think the CPS would let it get anywhere near court ?
    .......come to think of it they probably would under some health and safety issue !

    Hi Kevin, Well....When I left the Regular Army I joined The Metropolitan Police. I can assure you, that If they THINK they can get a conviction, Then they WILL press for it! PARTICULARLY if it is a Firearms Issue. It is a contencious & sensitive subject. The phrase used when I was in was: "We'll give it a go"! You see, they are using Public Money when Prossecuting, they dont care if they lose, because it's not comming out of thier Pocket! Where as you or I, have to pay for a Lawyer & the Extortionate costs involved in Defence! I can Assure you of this, I, Most certainly would not like to be the subject of a test case! I think we are all agreed about Barrels on a common sense collectors point of view. But ANY Governmant Department does' NOT seem to function on Common sense!!!
    After a Two year stint in the Met, with MANY other reasons & failure on my part to fit into a culture that I did not agree with. I resigned & went into the Small arms Defense Manufacturing Sector!
