On stripping it i found that someone had drilled the Transfer port, messed with the firing valve/pot and put spacers on the hammer spring. We got on the phone to the seller who basically said 'tough titty, sold as seen'.. I then said 'no worries mate, i'm taking the rifle to the police station now so make sure you have your FAC ready'. Oddly enough the seller then agreed to give £50 back to the chap and i fitted a new body and set the rifle up as it should be.
Good on you. I would have reported him too. I am in favour of upping the 12 ft.lbs limit but until the day, if it ever happens, that the authorities change the limit we stick to the letter of the law. No point in trying to cheat. Everyone will loose.
