Waterworks Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Can anyone tell me if a replica PIAT is covered by the VCR act as an imitation " firearm" ? What about spigot mortars , mortar tubes and RPG's ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waterworks Posted April 13, 2020 Author Share Posted April 13, 2020 (edited) Am I right that section 37 allows the manufacture of an RIF if it is sold to a bona fide renactor group ? I am a welder fabricator and have been asked by a museum to build a replica PIAT and STEN . Edited April 13, 2020 by Waterworks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Making for a museum is covered:- Section 37 provides various defences to the new offence. It makes it a defence to show that the manufacture, importation, sale or modification was only for the purpose of making the realistic imitation firearm available for: a museum or gallery theatrical performances and rehearsals of such performances the production of films and television programmes the organisation and holding of historical re-enactments crown servants.
