This reflects the email sent out by police where A-cat just need to hand in their "illegal" firearms with no mention of compensation, while E-cat states "to participate in the buy back".

He also said the local engineering firms have been approached to cut up the rifles.

I would suggest this is probably just gossip/speculation. The notion of a buyback was communicated from the very beginning and the option included on the form. It would be legally tenuous at best to refuse reparation.

Nothing to gain from it for the government really when most of the rifles will be cheap crap old rifles anyway and there were what like a few hundred handed in? Pennies in the scheme of things.
