    You like to point out exact wording in statues. In the Arms Act 1983 they refer to them as "Weapons".

    I fail to see how the examples you have given show that they wouldn't be in possession of a firearm if the buried it. It would be an offence against s19 of the arms regulations.

    Suggest you look at Section 66 of the Arms Act and think of how that would apply if the weapons were found buried on your property.

    Remember ignorance/arrogance to law is not a defence.
