Just done mine be in 5yrs .been better to just remove them all together and not still label them .
How much easier would be to get a new one should it go wrong and zero waiting time for a 141.
After all when its not on a rifle or shotgun all they are good for is a fishing weight! When on all they do is protect our hearing and keep the disruption down a bit around the grounds. In some cases help control larger caliber units.
Always was a stupid law
.Where does it say that?No, you will still need to show “need” in the same way as powders and primers etc
@maxwell ……… Postal Order.
When I started basic training in Nov 1971, my Mum sent me a 5£ postal order every fortnight for 6 weeks until I got man’s pay (17 1/2 years old)

So I'm guessing no Comms from any police or shooting orgs yet? Do we still have to keep them locked in the cabinet? Can they be posted? Etc
My guess is that, if kept outside of the cabinet then any member of the household could be "in possession" without a cert... So keep it locked up

That makes sense, but would be good to get an official comms from our licencing authorities and/or BASC

What’s the odds if you keep it unlocked you’ll forget it ? Ik I’ve forgot my shotgun ammo once
Arguably, you never had to unless they were attached to a rifle.

I agree, I keep mine in the safe, however on my last renewal the visiting FEO said it wasn’t necessary

I wish we could in cambs but they say they have to use their own private phones so unwilling to give out the number understandably
Does 'relevant accessory' here not mean a moderator which is actually 'an accessory to' a S1 firearm - i.e. actually attached to a S1 firearm?
A moderator which actually is part of a firearm (e.g. like on a Delisle carbine) isn't covered by this - I don't think detachable mods of the kind we're think about have ever been considered 'licensable part'?
A none-firearms, as far as I can tell, is still counted as a firearm when it is attached to a S1 firearm. That seems not to have changed.So a none firearm is still a firearm what's the point for the change
What does seem to have changed is that possession of moderators attached to S1 firearms is now allowed by any holder of an FAC (or, weirdly, SGC - thought as you'd still need the FAC for the S1 firearm, I'm not sure how that is useful) - which means that there is no longer any need to have a symbolically-occupied variation on your FAC for a mod used for a particular calibre or range of calibers.
It looks to me as though moderators attached to non-FAC airguns or S2 shotguns will still be as freely usable as before this planned change (i.e. you'll still need SGC for the S2 shotgun the mod's attached to) - and moderators of all kinds not attached to any firearm ought to remain as freely availble as before the change.
That, at least, is how I read it.
