Two Tone Modification

[Silent7Sniper7]

If you do get a 2-Tone gun you can temporarily cover it up at game sites but you must remove it before you leave.

Shinobi, if you don't ask questions how can you learn anything? Don't apologise for asking questions.

Aha okay! Thanks for your replies, they were really helpful!

Having read through many posts regarding the issue of painting an IF to become a RIF, this has cleared it up for me. Nice and clear. Thanks

Legally speaking, you can turn an IF into a RIF just because you're going to play airsoft at a site tomorrow or the next day. The idea of 'regular' airsofting is not mentioned in law, so theoretically you could do that before playing your first game.

Yes the VCRA only requires that you intend to use a RIF for skirmishing, The onus is however on you to be able to prove this and it is not clear how much proof you might need. UKARA registration is the safest bet but as long as there are records kept of your attendance, that might be enough. However as an under 18 year old it may be trickier. I would suggest that if you have a gun with bright orange stock and foregrip and change the stock and foregrip at the site and swap them back before you leave, it would be very difficult for anyone to make any arguement that you were not intending to use it for skirmishing.

Another possibility is that if you have a 2 tone gun and lend it to someone who modifies it to be an RIF before they use it to skirmish and then gives it back without reverting it to 2 tone, that would probably be legal.

I would go for the more cautious method and only modify it at the site until you are 18, as it will be hard to explain having an RIF as an under 18.

Yes. I added that for comic effect

(Just thought I would post on this thread instead of making a new one)

I've just purchased a G&G CM16 Radier two tone for my first gun.

Here's my question - Can I put rail covers onto the rails (which I presume will be the part that is two toned as well as the stock) when skirmishing?

Cheers

 

[jcheeseright]

yes, no issue with that at all as they're not a permanent modification.

Thanks for clearing that up for me!

What's the issue if he does a permanent modification?

I assumed (this could be incorrect of course) from the tone of his post that not only was it his first gun but that he had not yet skirmished it at all. While I don't subscribe dogmatically to the 3 games in not less than 2 months standard I do subscribe to the idea that if you're going to manufacture a RIF you should have some kind of documentary evidence you're an airsofter and not just someone who says they want to play one day.
