Folks,

My Remington 700 Police is factory screw threaded and with a slot for a sound moderator on my ticket I was wondering what type to buy (.308 winchester)?
Any ideas?

Mike

Are you referring to a suppressor...a can...a "silencer" so to speak...

Can you legally own them in the UK...?

Shooter,
Yes I'm referring to a "silencer" or sound moderator. You can legally own one if you have a valid reason (potential hearing damage being a good enough reason) you also need an available slot on a Firearm certificate specific for cal, sale or transfer is also restricted once purchased (if you don't like it you can not simply buy another type/manufacturer - you have to get it removed on a like for like variation with Firearms Dept!). I was thinking of ASE Jet-Z Compact in .30 Cal.

Yeah that is the one, I've ordered it should be in tomorrow.

I find it interesting that despite your gun laws you can easily buy a suppressor because the sound of the gun may damage your ears and on this side of the pond we can easily get the gun but the suppressor requires a lot of money and government red tape.

Of it it just as difficult to get there there?

He must be having too much fun to reply, but it appears that four days from decision to delivery means that they either don't have a BATFE or theirs is a lot faster than ours. And I thought the three month turn around time that I got was good.

You can apply for both at the same time. Our laws work on the rule that if you are a good citizen and you have a valid reason you can have them.
Its relatively straight forward process only problem is it can be slow depending on what police region you live in.
