    Another legality question

    This is a question I’d rather ask here first.

    I recently bought a secondhand BAR imported and modded Edgun Leshiy (Huma reg locked off and anti tamper fitted to the power adjuster). Fantastic little thing and had at a good price with some toys with it.

    On chrono-ing it, it was too hot for me at 11.8. My initial thought was worry as it would be non adjustable, I’d need a .177 barrel to bring it down to 10-10.5 fpe.

    However, the adjuster anti tamper has either not been fitted or has been removed. The thing is minty with no scratches from any attempts so I assume the AT wasn’t fitted.

    The serial number is correct for the box and paperwork and this is marked BAR Huma regged and UK sub 12 fpe.

    I have set the power to 11 fpe and blanked the adjuster hole but frankly all that is required is a swiss army knife and a 6 mm allen key to adjust it again.

    Question.

    Given almost all rifles can be adjusted somehow, how would the law see this possible adjustability?

    Needless to say I would not be carrying a 6mm allen key in the field BUT I have lots at home, where I store my rifles. However, from sad experience, I know the authorities will fiddle and tweak to get any adjustability to the maximum.

    Thanks for any clarity you can give.

    AT is not law, if you need a tool to adjust and it's below the limit when tested then its legal right?

    Is it that simple?

    In a nutshell, yes.



    And before this turns into another pointless AT debate I'll close this thread off.
