Re: Pictures of your Systema PTW

They're illegal, that's why. The lower receiver of an AR-15 in any country you care to name constitutes a 'firearm' in and of itself; you're not bringing one of those in to the UK legally as it's an illegally-held unregistered Section 5 firearm carrying a mandatory sentence if you're caught with it. The gas blocks are also (being 'pressure bearing' within the meaning of the Home Office guidance offered to the CPS) designated as 'component parts' (also legally a firearm under s.57(1)(b) of the 1968 Firearms Act) so carry the same sentence, and flash hiders are an "accessory [...] designed or adapted to diminish the noise or flash caused by firing the weapon" which are also prohibited under s.57(1)(c) of the 1963 Act.



AR-15 uppers were a bit of a grey area but I've been lead to believe that following the decisions in R. v Clarke and R. v Ashton that these are no longer OK. We'll have to wait for the release of the final portion of the Home Office, Firearms Law: Guidance to the Police 2012 before we can say for certain.

Technically speaking the Lower isn't classed as a firearm in the UK. Pressure bearing parts as you correctly mentioned are restricted.

Thanks mate - RS Matech. Pretty reasonably priced - about the same as a good quality airsoft rear BUIS.

Updates:


SMR WIP - I've just stuck the upper on a KAC lower, so it can be used. Still quite a way to go on this, to get it right.






Noveske build - final iteration, hopefully! Thanks to bladerunner168 for inspiration on the tweaks to this version.

Er, yes, it is. It's the serial-numbered part of the gun, and thus 'is' the firearm whose serial number is registered on your FAC.

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but as far as I'm aware lower receivers are not only 'firearms' in and of themselves (as serial-numbered parts), but are obviously additionally firearms as 'parts without which the firearm cannot function' (R v. Ashton, I believe).

Re: Pictures of your Systema PTW

Then thats where your priorities lie at the moment. However, I can almost guarantee once you've finished uni and are working a steady job with a steady decent income you'll consider it. That was exactly what I thought before going to uni.. Now I have 2 TWs...

Just graduated, and was given a PTW kit as a present for said graduation, now to build the blighter.

It's a part that is required for a firearm to function, as you've stated and thus is controlled due to it's nature as a serial numbered part that is required for it to operate not because we class it as a firearm.
