If I were to import a .22LR semi auto pistol, add a longer barrel and wrist brace how would I / could I then get the pistol classified as Section 1? Is there any guidance on this, proceses etc.

Are you a Section 5 dealer?

No, but I know a man who is party2
So is it possible? Can a gun be re-classified S1? I thought I'd heard once S5 always S5 but is that just an internet myth?

CANNOT be changed from S.5 to S.1
MUST be MADE as a S.1 in one form or another (such as the .22 rifles THEN converted to LBP) & the LBP's MADE from NEW to comply with the 30cm barrel/60cm length criteria
Your S.5 mate should be able to advise more
DO WISH IT WAS DIFFERENT - I'd have a 12" Colt Python IF it were!

I wonder then that if all of the parts where purchased separately and it was assembled in the UK in LBP form that that would satisfy the requirements

Apparently that's how the straight-pull L1A1s make it through the system.

That's good to know, do you know who builds/sells them in the UK?
