Thanks for this.
From this statement it appears that the Judge found that it was reasonable to believe that the Large Capacity Magazine in question "HAD" been fitted to the Semi Automatic Firearm.
This does not mean that if you had in your possession a large capacity magazine that "COULD Fit" a semi automatic firearm that it was indeed used in said semi automatic firearm.
A reasonable defence for this would be to maintain that said large capacity magazine was purchased with the intention to and only ever used in the Bolt Action Rifle Dannz described.
Without proof to the contrary I believe this defence would be sound as you haven't actually committed any offence.
Being in possession of a bolt action rifle with a free standing pistol grip that may or may not also fit an A Cat semi automatic rifle also in your possession does not mean you intend to fit said free standing pistol grip to the Semiautomatic rifle therefore making it fit the Ecat description.
I don't believe you have committed any offence unless you actually fit said magazine or pistol grip or what ever to the semi automatic rifle without holding the appropriate endorsement and registering said firearm as such.
Cheers
Pete
