Any UK members gained VCR exemption?

Hi, have any UK members gained VCR exemption just to build prop guns and did you go the air soft route? I'm planning to build some nice E-11 blasters using as many genuine Sterling parts as i can find, and the last thing i need is the police to beat down my door last thing at night to be led away in handcuffs just for making some toy guns:wacko

What i have done with my sterlings was to purchase 2 deact sterlings with the newer deact specifications it is illigal to alter it to fire again but not to purchase/own deact guns, obviously dont carry it around in public.

the trouble is I'm a Sterling collector and i hate to mess around with one of my guns, so I'd like to make one from scratch. I would also need to change the barrel which is illegal to do on a deact.:unsure

unless someone is selling parts on here the best thing is to get a barrel made from scratch that way you could get away with it esp if it is made from alluminium. as the barrels are made from steel. Ive seen quite a few photos of sterlings that people have had made up from replica parts.
