L86 Deac for sale

[bigduke6]

As we have gone past the 2nd May, for those who have deactivated firearms/weapons etc, (although it ceases to be a Firearm after deactivation) we are basically stuck with them, but I was asked the question in a Military fair not so long ago regarding a *"Defective Deactivated weapon" of which they are all classed as now if not deactivated to current EU standard and you wish to sell, trade or pass on etc *so if a supposedly post 1995 deactivated weapon was more in line with an old spec weapon, IE, the trigger mech was working or the welded bolt had been removed or similar, obvious its not correct to the spec it should be, but in all tense and purpose it will be a Defective Deactivated weapon as much as any other, so where would one stand......... if they were planning on keeping it ??

To me if the person bought such a weapon I would suspect fowl play somewhere along the line but, with the new EU spec in force , I said I doubt it would raise much concern, as anything not to current EU spec is upon sale or transfer etc "Defective" and at the end of the day it still is rendered incable of discharging a projectile.

Anyone any thoughts ??

It may be a bit to digest, and I can hear the Dremils firing up as I type this added bit, but think again, caught with a Deac in bits and the Hum of the dremil I could only surmise it would be classed as "intent" .........

Must admit I've seen such cases over the years at fairs and shows etc where something was a miss with the spec and normally replaced them back on the rack or bench and wiped off my dabs.......

*The classification of " Defective " only comes into place if one is trying to trade, sell or pass on a weapon not to EU spec, anything in a collection etc is fine, but will need to be up graded to the new spec if one is to sell or trade etc.
