Leave to appeal out of time was granted; the Court found the trial judge properly rejected the applicant's explanation but gave insufficient weight to the rudimentary home‑made nature of the pistol and set the appropriate starting point at 8 years' imprisonment; applying the one‑third guilty plea discount produced an effective sentence of 5 years and 4 months, which substituted the original sentence of 6 years and 8 months.
