    Honestly It is worth the effort. Just take your time and do it nicely then you wont even notice it there. I used grey silicone hitemp and it looks like its ment to be there

    I believe if you have an A cat AR or other semi and you also have E mags in your possession for the same gun you have a problem if boy in blue arrive.
    Just get both endorsements (like me) then they can all live in the same safe happily ever after according to my AO, I don't need to store them separately.

    That is 100% correct, They can be stored together if you have same model rifle on E but YOU CAN NEVER FIT A MAG WHICH CONTAINS OR APPEARS TO CONTAIN MORE THAN 7 ROUNDS to ANY A cat firearm

    So if I have this right : Once you have E Cat licence to own E Cat firearm and if you wish to obtain and use 30 rnd mags youd have to tell AO that you want your "A" Cat to become an E cat so then you can lawfully own / use them ?
    But then what if you havee another AR thats "A"...Confusing eh ?
    Thats if they dont all become E Cat when things settled anyway I suppose..

    Not quite, you can't change an A-Cat firearm to become an E-Cat, except those ones from the thumbhole stock saga easy E-Cat endorsement.

    Going to be interesting times, what are they going to do about all the A cat ar,s i wonder. Im in the process of getting my E, will wait till the AO comes around to check my safe. And will quiz him, about my a cat ar, do i just wait till HQ deem them all E cat, or try and put it onto E?
    Are you allowed to store A cat rifles with E cat rifles in the same safe tho?

    Not mine, but my partner certainly enjoyed shooting a jungle lane event with it




    ... sorry but on advice, photos removed... showing responsible use of firearms in an enjoyable and safe environment is not worth starting an arguement over No, i have not removed them from everywhere.
