(2)It is not an offence under this section for a registered firearms dealer to shorten the barrel of a gun for the sole purpose of replacing a defective part of the barrel so as to produce a barrel not less than 24 inches in length.

'it is not an offense to produce a barrel of less than 24 inch if for the sole purpose of replacing a defective part'
