I have a .177 Webley Raider 10 (gas precharge 10 shot mag, fully set up with silencer etc just needs a scope fitting, as mine was worth over 2k hence i sold it seperatly) also comes with gas bottle for refils, if you are interested for 350 quid

Oh and i am over in norfolk next weekend

What the hell did you add to that to make it worth 2k? I take it you just stuck a high end S&B on it? (and if so - why?)

High end Day/Night Vision scope for shootin bunnies

G_T you're talking st.

Even if my pistol is on the limit and is 6ft/lbs I've killed many rats with it and have shot other animals too, it would shred a cat food tin at 30ft which is more than enough to kill a small animal.

Just go hand it in, say you don't want it and don't want anyone else having it. The cops won't & can't chrono it, so won't care what it's putting out, they'll be happy to have 'taken a deadly firearm off the streets'!

The guy that handed in the sawn-off was playing a silly game, that's why he got shafted!

As an aside, you can buy a Crossman Ratcatcher, remove the stock and replace it with suitable pistol grips and itll be completely legal (although well short of 12 Ft/Lbs). The reason is that what it is cant be changed - a pistol doesnt become a rifle (and thereby legal if over 6 Ft/Lbs)) by fitting a stock, and the rifle doesnt become a pistol through the removal of the stock.

Though my memory of definitions is off, I'm fairly sure fitting a stock to a pistol would in fact make it a Carbine? Although my memory also reminds me that there's a ridiculous variety of definations for a carbine too...

Im fairly sure that is classed as manufactering a pistol, There was an article in Airgunner, A guy making a custom rifle had to ensure the action would not work with the stock removed so it wouldnt be classed as a pistol

An example of what I meant is this:



It's a carbine, but rather than being purposely built it is (as you can see) a conversion kit for a Glock.

I'll concede it also looks pretty epic

that looks awesome...but how do the spent cases escape the carbine casing??

Out the right hand side like they do on a glock

Beat me to it

Yes the ejection port is on the right hand side on a glock. From memory I can't think of any pistol that ejects out the left? Or any firearm come to think of it...
