    The uk no.8 rifles have not been destroyed yet......

    Hello

    Out of interest I submitted a FoI to the MoD.

    They have confirmed that they haven’t destroyed the no.8’s and they still hold 6956 rifles. 2065 unserviceable No.8’s have however been destroyed.

    They will be sending the remaining rifles to DESA who will then try to sell them sometime in the future. If the cannot then they would be destroyed at that point in line with govt. policy.
