Today's the day!

Let's hope the SAS3 builds will see a good faith.

Today's certainly is the day, well it was yesterday at least.

Things got off to an awkward start when I had to object to the crowns witnesses being in court before they had been called to give evidence.

After a while when things eventually started to get going and I revealed what I intended to show in court the judge asked me if I would be willing to have a meeting with the firarms people. I said that I had been trying to talk to them for the past six months but that I had continally been stonewalled, and the only reason we were all in court today was because they would not speak with me. He asked if I would meet with them now if he adjourned the hearing. I stated that I would like nothing better and the hearing was adjourned.

I was able to have a very productive conversation with representatives from the FRT group and the CFR. The end result being that we were able to able to come to a mutually acceptable agreement. I then officially withdrew my application.


What really ****es me off is that this could have been sorted out six months ago with a simple telephone call. What a waste of everyones time.

Anyway all's well that ends well I guess.

PS, I half expected some kind of communication before the hearing, but I did not expect it to happen when I had taken the witness stand.

So, what are the implications of your agreement respecting your Stens? Are they being reclassified as restricted?

[Mick]

We were able to discuss what was acceptable and what was not, and it was determined that gun that I sent in last thursday would make the grade for restricted status.

Well, its going to be a bit of work to rebuild your earlier guns to the newly agreed upon design, but that is preferable to losing them as prohibs.
How is your Suomi affected by all this?

Modifying the stens I have built is not really that big a deal in the scheme of things, the mods are nothing I would describe as major. I am just happy that I will be able to get up and running at last.

The Suomi is toast, but it will rise from the ashes

Well done Mick, you went to court for all who want to legally build an open bolt semi-auto sten

Thanks.

Let's hope they will cooperate with everyone now, there is no need for any of us to be at war.

Titiaq, What's with the negative things you have been saying on CGN ? It makes no sense
