The moderator situation does seem more than daft, and to add even more to the stupidity, the moderator only becomes a firearm when attached to the firearm, take it off and it is NOT a firearm. Hence why you can legally sell/buy one if it's going on something which is not on FAC. But as with all firearms, once it's on your FAC, it is a firearm! Confused? To get back to the original question, almost every RFD, and a few sports shops as well, will sell you a SAK without needing to see a FAC! Quote Link to post
