    The firearm I bought is a 6 shot .22 revolver, can I legally convert it to a 5 shot to obtain a non-restricted firearm certificate?

    Indeed you can,or better still get a gunsmith/dealer to do the job for you.

    Legally you cant, you would beed a RFD to do it. Do you already have a licence for it ?

    Firearm is in Northern Ireland, if I get a RFD to insert a metal bushing into one chamber will this comply with the law?
