    As an alternative to welding, use high grade Loctite retaining compound. It was accepted by the Police in the 10 round magazine fiasco, and specifically mentioned in their official paperwork. If they...

    Where did you take that quote re. galvanic corrosion? I would think that galvanic corrosion would be the least of the potential issues. Firstly, galvanic corrosion requires dissimilar metals,...

    If there was any galvanic corrosion between the suppressor and barrel, then it would also occur in the other contact points, namely the threads, but it just doesn’t happen. It doesn’t need to be...

    I’m pretty sure a judge ruled In 2018 that a permanent fixture is included in length. Can’t remember the details but it was part of a court case I was involved in over legal definition of length....

    If you want to cut through the red tape whether the suppressor counts as part of the firearm length... Cut the barrel so rifle is still >762mm. Counterbore it from the muzzle end but know what...

    The term 'overall length' has already been tested in Court and the Judge agreed with me and accepted the it meant the maximum dimension between the two extremities of the firearm and did not have to...

    The 2nd part to the qualifyer for a pistol is "and includes any firearm less than 762mm in length" Unarguably if its written in legislation even if it is against normal convention for measuring...

    Police 'policy' is not law but the Police only need to suggest it to Parliament and it could be pushed through. At present the law states 'overall length' which can include screwed on items if the...

    I'd err on the safe side and assume. E it is to the muzzle. If police choose to "clarify" the policy with an order in council, you will have a very hard time making it legal again.

    COLFO got that directive from the Police in 2017. Its not in the legislation, it was Police 'policy'. However, there have been two amendments to the Arms Act 1983 since then. So err on the side...
