SOLD

 

I tried getting into air-rifles , till i hit the wall of legislation on owning "firearms" Are you allowed to sell it ? Suppose its a private sale , but i'm pretty sure you arent meant too ! Though i am in Northern Ireland were everyone runs round shooting and blowing eachother up.

 

lol you nutter,you dont need an F.A.C fire arms certificate unless the gun is over the legal limit of 12 ftlb's,this one is not over,so is fine for anyone to buy/use,iirc there is a legal age of 14 but it could have changed.

 

This was one of my dream guns along with the Rapid 7 when I used to shoot. Fantastic gun.

 

not what i was told by 2 shops last year . Anything is a firearm as far as they were concerened . Even the air pistol i have had for the last 15years , actually said i shouldnt have that as the laws have changed since .Told me i had to have a gun cabinet , have a Police inspection of the premisses it would be kept blah blah blah.

But as i said , maybe the laws in NI are different (as we just love shooting eachother)

 

United Kingdom
Air pistols generating more than 6 ft·lbf (8.1 J) and air rifles generating more than 12 ft·lbf (16.2 J) of energy are considered firearms [17] and as such require possession of a Firearms Certificate (F.A.C.). Pistols and rifles below these energy levels do not require licencing, and may be purchased by anyone over the age of 18.
The Violent Crime Reduction Act 2006 prohibits online or mail-order sale of new air guns; transactions must be finalised face-to-face, either at the shop where purchased, or through a Registered Firearms Dealer (to which an item may be posted and the transfer completed). The sale and transfer of second-hand airguns is not affected by these restrictions.
From 10 February 2011, The Crime & Security Act 2010 (S.46) made it an offence "...for a person in possession of an air weapon to fail to take reasonable precautions to prevent any person under the age of eighteen from having the weapon with him...".[18] This legislation essentially relates to the storage of airguns and the requirement of owners to prevent unauthorised access by children. Failure to do so renders owners liable for a fine of up to £1,000.[19]

 

you'd be surprised how soon NI can become seperated from "UK" when they feel like it !
