Aye, Ill do that then I can paint it blue so it wouldnt look that bad and the reason why Im not purchasing it in the UK is because it is either out of stock or too expensive. Im also not trying to be a dick its just that I do not understand the laws completely regarding airsoft. Thanks for that advice anyway.

I was thinking what if I were to modifiy the RIF into an IF in the country of purchase and then import it into the UK? That sounds like it could work?

Im sorry but your the best user ive met online that experiance is too hilarious to imagine

I understand well that it was my fault that I stupidly forgot one of the rails in my onboard bag therefore on passing security that was when the problems occured however the constable (I forgot the chaps name) said that transporting a IF (Not a RIF) in checked bags are okay however it would have been better to notifiy the check in desk beforehand. However lessons were learnt so all good

I think that im not naive enough not to listen to expert advice from you guys so offcourse im not going to smuggle or do anything illegal. Ive had first hand experiance with the law at heathrow this winter whilst having a airsoft gun in my checked bag without declaring it the heathrow police came to have a chat but as soon as i showed that they were just 'toys' they were smiling away. (Unfortunately the plane was delayed by a half hour but defiantly not my fault that they had to take my bag from the aeroplane and check it )

Thanks I appreciate all the help It would be easier just to get a defence then go against the law. This is all i wanted to know

And if it were dissasembled

So if I were to drive onto a ferry in my car from france to dover that would still be considerd illegal? I also dont think that they will search the car untill they find the RIF

Thats what Im trying to ask say I purchase it abroad where the airsoft laws are more lenient eg Belgium and then bring it back into the UK in a car? Would that be considerd illegal or legal?

Wow guys so much information I appreciate it however I still dont understand Say I receive the product somehow is it illegal to own that rif without a valid defence? Some users are saying that you need an actual skirmish license where as some are saying that the sole airsoft reason is enough.

How long?

So I was wondering wether you need to have a license to own a RIF. As I want to purchase a airsoft gun from Taiwangun however would it be illegal to own in the UK without the required proof?
