what is the law regarding buying a spare barrel for section 2 shotgun ? and the same for a section one shotgun ?

As far as I am aware barrels are pressure bearing parts and require to be entered on your certificate

Discussed not too long ago,

Postcode lottery when it comes to S2, some put them on your SGC, some don't. Every one I've heard of insists for a S1 shotgun spare barrel.

The REAL fun comes in if you have the same make/model shotgun in S1 and S2 formats

Yep postcode lottery ive bought spare barrels for 3-4 of my semi auto shotguns and a spare set of o/u barrels two insisted on putting them on ticket two not bothered but i didnt argue the matter and my flo did say "its a spare barrel it doesnt need to go on ticket" when i asked but stuff changes daily it seems.

Shotgun barrels regardless of S1 or S2 are not licensable items. Having said that I remember reading of someone who was nicked for having the sawn off section of a shotgun barrel in his possession :)

If any one bought last weeks shooting times in the questions page this question has been asked,and it says you do not need any authority to acquire another barrel for a shotgun unless its a sec 1 shotgun and then obviously a extra variation would be acquired,but itl still be a postcode thing for some.
