Just to put everyones minds at ease, no-one is in any trouble here. At all.
The lowers (2) are currently stored by a gunsmith, awaiting word from the Police Directorate on what specifically to do in order to deactivate them. The answer we got previously was from the Weapons License Office of Oslo PD.
The lowers are not mine, but belong to the company I work for. They were ordered in good faith, before I started working there, with no knowledge of the law having been changed. The owner was informed of this by the customs officer responsible for doing the customs tax on the shipment.
As stated, the intention now is to use them for the showroom, but in order to do that we need to deactivate them. We are currently applying for a firearms dealer license, but since we do not have one yet, we cannot have working weapon parts on display.
It might end up with us having to cut them in half, but I was just checking to see if anyone knew of a way to render them inoperable without destroying them.
I also find it odd that there are no specific guidelines on how to do this, but I have searched all over for any clues. All I find is a mention of establishing these guidelines, but that they currently don't exist; this is dated 2011.
