    Osprey MK4 - Legal?

    I cant give you references for what GeorgePlayAirsoft is talking about but i remember back around 2012 there was a lot of dramas with UK and US kit being found on dead Taliban fighters. The kit was acquired in the US and UK and sent out to them.  I'm not sure owning any of the kit is an actual...

    Osprey MK4 - Legal?

    So plates (whether it be ECBA, Osprey or Virtus) are classed as ACTO and you will find the bizzys get extremely twitchy about civvy's owning it.  The plate carriers are not.

    UKARA Verified player bought a gun off me but payment sent from another paypal

    The whole thing was just absolutely bizarre I have sold 4 RIF's on this site in the last 2 weeks and for every one bloke I sold too I would have 3 really strange people try to buy. The reason for the edit if anyone was wondering is on reflection i don't really want to be a drama queen.

    UKARA Verified player bought a gun off me but payment sent from another paypal

    So the end of this story. The bloke paid me with his own Paypal when he got home last night and all the details matched his UKARA.

    UKARA Verified player bought a gun off me but payment sent from another paypal

    Again guys thanks for all of the feedback. The whole thing just feels off to me and pretty irregular so i am going to refund the transaction.

    UKARA Verified player bought a gun off me but payment sent from another paypal

    Thanks for all the feedback guys. It sounds like i just need to refund the transaction and ask the buyer to pay with their Paypal. It seems like i am leaving myself open to either a Paypal charge-back or possibly being on the wrong side of the VCRA if i go ahead.

    UKARA Verified player bought a gun off me but payment sent from another paypal

    Ok i would like a bit of advice. A bloke made an offer on one of the RIF's i am selling. He gave me his UKARA and address which i dutifully got checked and it all came back verified and valid. Unfortunately though he has just paid for it with someone else's Paypal account which has a name and...

    Imports on inactive UKARA

    So my two cents i sent two RIF's this week via PF48 and declared them as low powered airsoft guns and they took them without batting an eye.

    Trying to sell a RIF but am I doing it wrong?

    I'll revise my statement it is an offense to sell or manufacture a RIF, toy or not. I'm not willing to be the first bloke who gets fried as the test case.  If people want to be blase about selling a "toy" because they will never be the one who it bites in the arse than that's their decision...

    Trying to sell a RIF but am I doing it wrong?

    Correct fella a toy gun which under British law is illegal. Illegal in my world is not good.

    Trying to sell a RIF but am I doing it wrong?

    That's alright mate. It's not worth losing my job/liberty or the sport being outright banned.

    Trying to sell a RIF but am I doing it wrong?

     Had another one tonight. His proof that he played airsoft was a couple of pictures of him in mtp sans weapon. Got very upset when i said no.

    Trying to sell a RIF but am I doing it wrong?

    Clearly should have checked that title before posting haha. So then the general consensus is name and UKARA? Do i not need their postcode to match against the database? 4 of the 5 people that contacted me were all new users on this site with no posting history which was one of the reasons i...

    Trying to sell a RIF but am I doing it wrong?

     Morning guys. In the week I have put a few RIF's for sale in the sales section of this site.  I started getting enquiries straight away and i think gleaming, they will be gone In no time!  Wrong.  I have now had 5 people agree on prices with me and then pull out when it gets down to brass...
