Moderator question...

#1 Post by bhodge »

I recently bought a job-lot of air rifle bits off "the auction site". Mainly front & rear sights, but with a few other odds 'n sods thrown in. This included a moderator, on inspection I found that it has been proofed for 22rf.
Just so happens that I've got a slot for a 22 mod on my ticket. I've never filled this slot as my CZ452 22lr is pretty quiet without one! So, I have no intention of ever using the mod.
My question is this:-
Am I allowed to sell it for use on an air rifle?
Is there any restriction on me moving it on solely for air rifle use??

I have a similar scenario. I have an off ticket mod which was used on an air rifle. If I put this on my rimfire it will have to be listed on the cert. Does this then mean it is a section 1 item forever?
Sorry for the slight hijack bhodge but its in the same vein. :good:

I am assuming you don't have the mod on your FAC? does it have a serial number ? if NO in which case proofed or not, as long as its "in the wild" it doesn't exist,in FAC terms, how could it?
how can you prove it is not a mod proofed by the factory but sold for both FAC and non-FAC use? now should you put it on a rimmie then different story, but on an airrifle ? wheres the crime?
(if it has got a serial number then if it has ever been on an FAC then I would expect it to be always treated as a controlled item in which case you have commited an offence by possessing a controlled item without the correct paperwork )

My off ticket mod has no serial, no name and no proof marks.

It's not on my FAC.
The mod is proof marked, but has no makers name or serial number on it.
