OK got a response from Alan along the lines of it may but may not...

Well it's up for the above price for Spares, if doesn't go I'll have her fixed.

What would one need on one's fac to buy the 'spares'?

[craig9mm]

I suspect the FLU would req a variation as a whole unit not as spares......otherwise it could get v complicated.....

[thegreyman]

It is still classed as a firearm working or not so you'd need the 357 Muzzle Loading Revolver slot.

I have a .36 with a spare cylinder and have to have a slot for both.

[DedIdick]

Aye, but it's illegal to sell/offer for sale an out of proof firearm??

I won't say I'm a expert re: the legislation but me saying it's broken and hence I wouldn't recommend firing it should be a decent defence? I've got a 44 I bought from a dealer knackered a couple of years back to repair with no quarms? Could be wrong but least nothing under false pretences.

Doesn't look like it.....

The Proof Acts lay down that no small arm may be sold, exchanged or exported, exposed or kept for sale or exchange or pawned unless and until it has been fully proved and duly marked. The Maximum penalty is £5000 for each offence, but with provision for higher penalties where, for instance, the sale of a number of guns constitutes one offence. Alteration to or the forging of proof marks is a more serious offence.

Arms previously proved and bearing apparently valid proof marks are deemed unproved if the barrels have been enlarged in the bore beyond certain defined limits or if the barrel or action has been materially weakend in other respects.

The offence in dealing in unproved arms is committed by the seller, not by an unwitting purchaser.

The law refers to them as "Constituent Parts" if its a pressure part (Barrel, cylinder) or a serial numbered part (frame) then you are in possession of a firearm.
All the other bits you can have without a licence...but that's really just a pair of rubber grips, a couple of metal catches a small bag of screws and springs
