@40mm how you getting on with this project

Legislation only tells you what you are not allowed to do. Unless something is specified as illegal, it is OK. If you have a standard firearms licence then you are allowed to make A category firearms for your own use. You can subsequently sell them after a suitable period of time. Bear in mind that any commissioned officer of police has the power to check (and reject as unsafe) any firearm (Arms Act, Sec 59).[/QUOTE]

well if an officer of the law were to say my home made firearm is un safe then i would expect that officer to be a qualified/experienced gunsmith.
