    He cant really legally purchase those unless riflemags uk restrict them to 5 rounds. otherwise he would be importing restricted mags with an unrestricted licence as retarded as it is.

    I believe he can bring them in as he is a restricted firearms dealer.

    I had assumed that it would only be illegal when inserted into a gun or if loaded by someone that has no restricted license. It never occurred to me that simple possession would in itself be an offense.

    I had limited the capacity of my own shotgun in the past (so as to comply with my license) and during disassembly for cleaning it would be capable of holding 4 rounds.

    I have asked several shooting supplies places in the Uk about buying stuff as varied as stock oil, or a barrel to rebarrel my rifle, all legally, nothing dodgy. They are not interested, its just too much hassle for the money they make.

    one of the good things about living in the wilds of Donegal is I can get parts sent to RFD in the North, no hassle with the UK dealers once they can send it to the North, RFD to RFD.

    Use parcel motel or an post address pal. Obviously make sure you have all documentation in order and comply with all relevant legislation.

    MY understanding of 10 round pistol mags is....
    You can have them and they are only illegal when inserted into the pistol (unless restricted to 5 rounds)

    Parcel Motel is your friend if you want certain items sent you from the UK.
    Not illegal to have mags if you have the license for the pistol.

    For an unrestricted license, my thoughts exactly.
