    Germans have found a way around the new Euro Spec Deac Laws

    It looks like our continental friends have a new way to skirt the new EU deac rules. They are selling gun kits with the barrel and bolt removed so that under Germanicon law its not a gun and be purchased legally.

    Attachment 78368People are then buying deactivated barrels and bolts as spares (So I guess not covered by the EU spec) and fitting them. Zib are one company and have a disclaimer saying that these kits can't have the barrel or bolt fitted or else it needs to be covered by the EU spec. The funny thing is if you look at one of the kits on their site, it says underneath the listing that 'Other people who purchased this item also purchased.....deactivated Barrel'

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

    Where can I discuss politics and gun legislation issues?

    In this case, the closest would be ... U.K. Gun Control

    Thanks ...
