Selling firearm parts

**M80BHP** · 27-02-2019, 07:56

Is it legal to sell parts of your firearm that renders the firearm inoperable?

**Teamcam** · 27-02-2019, 08:16

as far as i understand, which i hope to receive some clarity, anything with the serial number on cannot be resold...
Springs, triggers, hammers, some frames, can be sold off...

The FCA lists which parts are controlled

Need more detail than that

Serial number is not the driver for this.

There are licensed parts, as per FCA, Barrel, receiver and frames
There are controlled parts, such as slides and bolts

Nonsense.

This would mean that certain pistols magazines and grips could not be sold.

You can sell any non controlled part to anyone.

You can sell controlled parts like slides and bolts to people with licences for firearms capable of bearing those parts.

You can sell barrels, frames and receivers to dealers and to anyone else provided they licence them.

Understanding the origin of why this question has come about too would help.if you're, say, handing it in for destruction, it must be functional.

Why must it be functional?
As long as you do not physically destroy the barrel deliberately or take a grinder to the whole firearm...

Functional? I think not.

What if I had a squib and blew up the whole firearm? I will take the pieces into SAPS for destruction only after I salvaged all salvageable parts.
