Just got my license renewals in the post. I presume the Telescopic Sight referred to in Section 1(g)(I) of the firearms act 1925 as amended it refers to on the front page in red print is a Thermal Scope ??

From the act, so any optic that has light amplification or IR devices.
So night vision, thermal, etc.

Never forget, the end goal is zero firearms of any type.
S.I. No. 187/1972 - Firearms (Temporary Custody) Order - Firearms seized
S.I. No. 21/2008 - Firearms (Restricted Firearms and Ammunition) Order 2008 - Firearm types restricted
Criminal Justice (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2009 - Firearms banned & grandfathered
S.I. No. 420/2019 - Magazine ban, ammo storage & transport restricted
Criminal Justice (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2023 - 2023 Firearm Ban (retroactive to 8 years prior)
