I saw a comment in another thread, but when I went looking again I could not find it.

Anyway, Saxby Palmer modified about 900, No.4's to take their air-cartridge. When the 'ban' on air-cartridge weapons came in these were, as were the pistols that people wanted to keep, put on firearms certificate.

It is technically a Section 5 firearm, but cannot be sold to anyone, it can only be handed in to the police, or deactivated.

One note if you have one, and take it to the range only you can fire it. Even a dealer with a Section 5 cannot fire it.

I shall sleep more soundly in my bed now.

Before the Government banned them, I used to lay awake worrying about Self-Contained Air Cartridge weapons as I am sure many others in the UK did. It is good to know that they have now been properly classified with Machine Guns and Rocket Launchers - where they belong!
