Reloading liability insurance ?

[tacfoley]

Can any of the people on here stating that the proof of ammunition (offered for sale) is a mandatory legal requirement, actually point to the relevant Statute?

This took 0.000015 seconds to find. Are you calling us out on this as a bunch of stumblebums?

Extract from the Firearms Act -

Business and other transactions with firearms and ammunition.E+W+S(1)A person commits an offence if, by way of trade or business, he—
(a)manufactures, sells, transfers, repairs, tests or proves any firearm or ammunition to which section 1 of this Act applies, or a shot gun; F4. . .
(b)exposes for sale or transfer, or has in his possession for sale, transfer, repair, test or proof any such firearm or ammunition, or a shot gun, [F5or
(c)sells or transfers an air weapon, exposes such a weapon for sale or transfer or has such a weapon in his possession for sale or transfer,]
without being registered under this Act as a firearms dealer.

We don't make this stuff up, y'know, just to make you feel bad.

Also, please note for future reference that United Kingdom is one of the signaturees of the CIP - please read -

The Commission Internationale Permanente pour l'Épreuve des armes à feu portatives (Permanent International Commission for the Proof of Small Arms – commonly abbreviated as C.I.P. or CIP) is an international organisation which sets standards for safety testing of firearms. (The word portatives (portable) in the name refers to the fact the C.I.P. tests small arms almost exclusively; it is ordinarily omitted from the English translation of the name.) As of 2014, its members are the national governments of 14 countries, of which 12 are in Europe. The C.I.P. safeguards that all firearms and ammunition sold to civilian purchasers in member states are safe for the users.

To achieve this, all such firearms are first proof tested at C.I.P. accredited Proof Houses. The same applies for cartridges; at regular intervals, cartridges are tested against the C.I.P. pressure specifications at the ammunition manufacturing plants and at C.I.P. accredited Proof Houses.

A sample batch of the manufactured ammunition, usually 1000 rounds of each type - is submitted to either the London or Birmingham Proof Houses for testing.
