Dave, not at all mate, some days I just can't believe some of the things I read on here. I got this picture in my mind of using a BB gun as a part of the 3 gun and thought FFSdave_303 wrote:Blu wrote:I shot a 3 gun comp yesterday, S1 shotgun, S1 semi auto 22LR and a fecking BB gun - how stupid is that

A rifled tube only becomes a component part when it is chambered and becomes a barrel.Grima wrote:A rifle barrel is classed as a component part because it has rifleing

A rifled tube is just that and not a firearm component, ie a blank, and uncontrolled.Trident wrote:A rifled tube only becomes a component part when it is chambered and becomes a barrel.Grima wrote:A rifle barrel is classed as a component part because it has rifleing
However, a firearm barrel doesn't have to be chambered to be a barrel. If it is threaded it is still classed as a barrel and not a blank. Some firearms do not have a chamber in the barrel.
