Here's a good one. It is technically illegal to dismantle a cartridge in this country (under the provisions of the Explosives Act 1875, it is illegal to dismantle ammunition other than in a licensed factory). Which leads to two questions
1) What the heck is one supposed to do if a primer fails? Hand it in at a police station? They would be delighted I'm sure
2) Am I breaking the law when I fire a gun? Surely the act of striking a primer with a firing pin causes the cartridge to disassemble??
Okay, I am fairly certain this is because, when the act was passed one could recover explosives (black powder) from ammunition - now you cannot (unless its a black powder cartridge of course). Even BASC have never heard of a prosecution of a reloader with a kinetic hammer...but still....
News to me. I did however hand over a little pot of .38 ammo to my Firearms Licensing Officer last week that my Lee 1000 had Fubared and that wouldn't come apart.
Notionally you can do this or hand them in to a Registered Firearms Dealer who you can imagine as a small business will be only too delighted to take your crap from you.
