What's involved in having a gun deactivated?

 

I've got an old SxS that I never use and is probably best destroyed. I'm off to the gun smiths this weekend anyway but thought I'd ask on here first. Just wondered about having it deactivated instead of destroying it.

I believe (and someone may know better) that de-activating involves welding a solid lump of metal down the barrels, and also either welding in the firing pins to prevent discharge, or welding the head space to prevent a cartridge/round being loaded into the chamber.

has to be done by a certified gunsmith and must meet certified requirements with a certificate of deactivation being issued

Sounds a bit of a ball ache for a shity old gun...... I only wanted a deactivated sawn-off as a bit of a conversation piece. :laugh:

As you said it sounds a pain unless theres a bit of value in a old gun
