Many years ago, when Joe Green was the man answering questions it was commented that lengthwise sectionalising - as you suggest - was the only way they would consider a firearm deactivated and still recognisable.

This is purely hearsay and not legal advice..... just a comment i remembered from a meeting.

A firearm dealer recently told me to do this.

This is where we can get ourselves into trouble. A firearms dealer is not a Judge. A policeman is not a Judge. Even a lawyer with a legal opinion is not a Judge.

Has this ever been tested in a court of law? The proposition that a firearm that is cut vertically is no longer a firearm?
