Brit,
You refrence getting your 6mm back in the Over 500 section, and so I guess we can take it that the police seized your guns and now it is up to you to prove you are not a Gun Maker? If all of your metal work is being done by a licensed gunsmith how are you a gun maker? Ed

Good point but I did the machining on this .280AI but did it under a dealers licence as his agent. Meant a lot of trips back and forth.
The other thing is that it seems the Police don't need proof they can just make the claim then it's up to the defendant to disprove the Police. We started down that route but it quickly became clear that we don't have the money to pursue the case. So I am hoping to strike a deal with a dealer to set up a small workshop at his place and do the work to finish off my projects there and maybe do up a couple of rifles to sell take on some cleaning of rifles etc. Have to explore all options to fight these thugs. Am back to the specialist at the hospital next Monday afternoon to see if there is still bleeding behind my left eye. That was the side rammed into the concrete path by the back door by the four "Police Offices" when I asked to make a phone cll to get the dealer out to collect the firearms. The dictators like Stalin, Mao, Mugabe, Saddam, and Hitler would be proud on them and their actions.

Brit,
Man I am sorry for your troubles. Reading this should give any American a refresher on how and why we got where we are. We are presumed innocent by our laws. It is a big, big deal. Now we have our government violating the law and trying to use their violations to pass more laws to reduce our rights. It makes no sense except to a very twisted mind. It sounds to me like your finish messed up due to hunidity. Here in FL we have a humidity problem and any wood finish can turn bad in several ways from moisture. England has a lot of rain and I would think a good wood finish could be difficult without a drying cabinet to hang the stock in while it is drying. To get around this, I use a mixture of mineral spirits (about 33%) and stock finish oil plus a few drops of Japan Dryer in a pill bottle and shake it well. It will dry quickly and unless it is raining it does not crinkle or turn gray. Ed

Well the good news is that the bleeding is healing and that the consultant discharged me. Don't need to go back. Now i can go ahead and get the specs made up. Held back on them until we had a decision due to not wanted to pay out for more than one pair.
The Finish on the 6mm is Yaht varnish. As it had the glossy plastic varnish look from the factory the ised was to restore it. The varnish had been in the shed unopened for a few years I think it's gone off. The idea will be to strip the varnish "again" then smooth the grain "again" then perhaps this time I used Tru-Oil in the spray form.. This is the first time that a finish has done that to me and have re-finished several stocks over the years. Mean while we are going softly and slowly on the workshop bit. Feeling it out.
