Spielvogel pointers Posted April 23, 2016 Report Share Posted April 23, 2016 Well bit of forward thinking really but basically I bought my 595 18months ago and I've no idea as to its round count so my line of thinking is, have an ear open for a barrel blank in a decent make and should one arise then bag it and sit it till its needed. Now the real question is can I store a blank ''unchambered'' barrel without having to go through the rigmarole of a variation? At this moment If I remember correctly ''and I may well be wrong'' a barrel isn't a firearm until it's chambered and until that happens it's just a metal tube with a hole in it All help greatfully received SP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashcroft Posted April 23, 2016 Report Share Posted April 23, 2016 Correct, unchambered is fine, as soon as chambered its a pressure bearing part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradders Posted April 23, 2016 Report Share Posted April 23, 2016 Not exactly correct as a revolver barrel for example doesn't have a chamber, and would only become a component part when threaded. You have to take the particular firearm in question into consideration, but if it isn't chambered or threaded then you are OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grum87 Posted April 25, 2016 Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 Where would an old barrel that's been cross sectioned at the chamber and up into the throat fall within the law? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradders Posted April 25, 2016 Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 Where would an old barrel that's been cross sectioned at the chamber and up into the throat fall within the law? I personally wouldn't consider it an issue. A RFD has the legal ability to destroy components such as barrels, and in my opinion this would be the case here. When I destroy a barrel I buy a bandsaw through the front of the chamber end threads, effectively cutting the chamber in half, and thus with no threads and only a bit of a chamber, it's 'destroyed' at that point. But as I also mostly distraught profile barrels, it's no issue for me to also bandsaw through at all the profile steps, which makes it look much less like a barrel when I take them in for scrap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Re-Pete Posted April 26, 2016 Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 Anyone know where barrel blanks can be bought in the UK without getting the "we only supply the gun trade" routine ? H/man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
