yes, but no...
as said in my post, they aren't strictly gravity knives. that said I think I will try and hand in an enlan or something that I've had a while and just see if I can take the £40. writing zombie killa on the desert dagger knock off might be worth it, if they pay desert dagger prices

I had my Uzi variant 9mm, ancillaries and handloads collected yesterday at 1pm. Already had an email confirming full payment awarded.

Cheers. Doesn’t make up for the prohibition but the pragmatic approach the Home Office appears to be taking to payment softens the blow slightly. Also helps mine was a 2009 original so the difference between the compensation compared to what I paid for everything is considerable indeed.

Wish I had included my labour costs for the production of said handloads though as the Home Office has now accepted that as a reasonable cost as well. Too late for me, but hopefully not for others.

When my pistols were compulsorily purchased from me, I made sure I shot off every last round of pistol ammunition I had before they went. They just got the empty cases.
Regards
Peter.

mine is the same vintage as yours, bought 2nd hand, so I'm in for even more profit. but can't claim handloads due to my other 9mms.

Section G - A18. I claimed 38 pence a round and included calculations to that effect.

If you have brass and primers available I’m sure you’ll remember you actually handloaded all your remaining consumables up to your hold limit some time ago.

It’s fair to say the Home Office doesn’t appear so far to be querying anything related to LR/ MARS rifle claims. There is even a suggestion they may be open to claims for reloading equipment in certain circumstances.
