Wrong answer. Advice provided earlier is the best course. You may be right, you may be within the law, it may even be a 'no brainer' to you because you know the intricacies of the law, but to the avergae bystander it is a 'machine gun' and you aren't allowed to own it.
Most police officers don't know the detail of the gun laws and will seize it first and find out later -and their bosses will support the decision as will the Crown prosecutor and the judge (as he grudgingly agrees that you can have the dewat back). Meanwhile, it costs you time and money because you wanted to show everyone that you were 'right'.
If you can, transport the 'toys' as cargo and install once you are in place.
Oh, and to add to Seatyger's list of destinations NOT to go to with your MG openly displayed is Parliament Hill - 'nuff said.
