    MOD NOTE

    /sigh

    Lads, this user is a serial re-reg asking the same question as before. If you see any other threads asking about illegal activity regarding Glocks, Sigs, 9mm, 40 S&W, pistols, Northern Ireland, etc. just report it and a Mod will deal with it.

    Thanks.

    Until then bye bye OP.

    Short answer to first part Absolutely NO. Second part NO., unless you want to spend alot of money on a lump of welded up metal to EU standards.Which you will have to buy in the UK,and get permission from your local superintendent to own.

    Can you explain in detail the process for part 2? How would it be a lump of metal if it's decommed?

    Its completely butchered internally, then welded up, you could spend a thousand notes on a paper weight.

    I'm not interested in shooting.

    I have a decommed .22 with no visible external damage. I still have a licenced operational Mossberg 590.

    What would be different with a Glock 17 or Sig P226?

    Here's the EU regulations on deactivating firearms. Now see why it's better to buy a Airsoft version.
