Barrel replacements & SAAADA's case

**moose** · 15-05-2019, 16:51

Some time back I was informed that the SAPS declared that you were no longer allowed to do barrel replacements. I had already got a permission in progress and today went to hand in the 521 G form. My Dfo called Bellville SAPS provincial branch and according to somebody there, there is no moratorium on Barrel replacements and everything is business as usual.

ANybody got info on this?

I specifically asked my smith about this, and he didn't know that anything had changed. He told me that it's business as usual.

This was of Martin Hoods page-Afternoon Everybody The barrel court case of the firearm dealers has received a substantial donation from SAGA and the Gunsmith's Guild headed by Terry Harrison in Cape Town.Many thanks to both organisations.

From Martin Hood's page on 29 May at 11h41:

Hi Everybody onto more topical and practical issues.
I received written confirmation yesterday that barrel changes are officially verboten by the cfr . This decision was taken without consultation, is contrary to past practice , is contradictory to what the act and regulations provide for and is simply inexplicable other than to conclude it is mendacious and intended to limit our access to firearms through a process of executive decree and intentional incorrect interpretation of the law. The decision maker is indicated as mabule so I sense another court fight and personal cost order against him.
Further information will follow.

This just in from Martin Hood

Hi everybody breaking news: The North Gauteng High court gave judgment in favour of SAAADA interdicting the police from stopping barrel replacements and costs of the urgent application.

There is a written judgment which I have not seen but I will provide more detail in due course.

Pls remember the dealers did it not only for themselves but for all of us. Pls support their main case financially on 5 August.
