Just looking for info, I couldnt find anything online. If I was to get a barrel ported would it require re-proofing?
Regards Chris |

As I understand it ( though I may be wrong ) it is an offence to offer for sale, sell, transfer etc a firearm which is not proofed ?
Does that mean one can POSSESS an unproved firearm having ported it themselves without committing the offence ? I would imagine that a person other than the owner of the gun who carried out the work would be transferring the firearm when returning it to the owner and would commit an offence if unproofed ? |

As long as the said firearm doesn't fall foul of the FA you could in theory port it yourself as long as it stays in your possession or it will need to be reproofed ( according to the 2006 Rules of Proof )

Hey be careful agreeing with me. I need a reality check apparently.
