make a cup of tea, sit down, and spend a minute or 2 thinking about the order of council process. do you REALLY think the government is going to let you keep your modified AR15, or are they simply going to turn around and list a whole bunch of firearms BY MODEL / NAME, and then say - oops sorry, you fucked with it, so now it is worth 80% less... ? here is your (tiny) payout, have a nice day...

Yes, too early to tell before the law is finalised.

Converting a semi to a bolt or pump action, well, suppose it would work, but would it work as well as a "born" bolt gun you can buy for your compensation money?

Of course, if compensation money turns out to be really crap then rendering your semi into a bolt/pump seems less risky and less abhorrent.

Problem is... you will not find out how little they are going to pay you until AFTER you have handed it in.
