Where the hell are all these bits coming from?

SA80 gas cylinder

And

Gas plug

Plus assorted furniture items

Taffy

ETA

This is part of the gas workings of the rifle and is inert as it requires the Gas Plug ( which is not supplied as it contavines ebays regs) to fully form the gas recoil/reloading system.

and like magic there is one for sale too

It's completely unregulated part.

So he's within the law I think. (that is, if he owns the part and hasn't stolen it)

(P.S. I had three, so when one got dirty I just replaced it and cleaned others at my leisure).

EDITED - Because I re-read it and it seemed rude at first glance

N.B.

Don't try to use a mag coupler on an SA80, it covers the mag release when fitted!

Sorry to disagree, but these are controlled components, just not 'on ticket' items.

Yup! An SA80A1 would be a Section 5 weapon. All working parts thereoff remain so. You cannot 'down convert' a weapon. To be deactivated all the guts are taken out and the reciever is welded up. AFAIK, only some LSW's were deactivated.

They are nicked parts that somebody is 'aquiring' when they upgrade the A1's to A2 specification.
