Hence in illustration, take a lower, machine it, fit a full auto trigger and attach it to a straight pull upper, that conforms to length demensions, then the firearm falls under s1 and is not prohibited. Likewise, the component part are also s1.
You would have a Sec5a, full auto Straight Pull. You cannot legally possess the lower receiver without Sec5 authority.
In this case its irrelevant how you assemble it, the lower component is illegal.
How do you even think its OK to possess a complete lower receiver assembly of an M4 or M16 assault rifle without Sec5 authority? Im staggered.
c. under section 5 of the 1968 Act, it is an offence for a person to possess, purchase,
acquire, MANUFACTURE, sell, transfer, possess for sale or transfer, or purchase or acquire
for sale or transfer, a COMPONENT part of a PROHIBITED WEAPON without the authority of
the Secretary of State for the Home Department or by Scottish Ministers in Scotland
How can the MANUFACTURE of a COMPONENT part of a PROHIBITED WEAPON be controlled under Sec5 if there is no such thing exists until a complete gun is made and then stripped to component level.
