[RIF laws and returns, PLEASE HELP...]

I should of added more context to the 5 weeks, I was out of the country (always bad timing) which is why the rifle was only checked after 5 weeks.

 

I am thinking at this moment in time to just have it repaired and hope for the best.

[RIF laws and returns, PLEASE HELP...]

I attempted to purchase a two tone G36c (in green) from eliteairsoft.co.uk on the 21st February2016. When it arrived it was a full black rifle and also does not work. (it came in the wrong box so I believe it is second hand, which was never stated)

 

I contacted the retailer yesterday Sunday 27th March 2016, asking for a refund. Today (28/03/16) they very bluntly said "return it and we will repair it".

 

Now here's my dilemma, they have illegally sold me a RIF and the item does not work... Unfortunately I did not use the rifle for approximately 5 weeks. so I am beyond the 30 day return policy.

 

What is my best move here?

 

I want my money back or to have a rifle that works... PLEASE HELP?!

[PIF (new starter) Black rifle?]

I have recently started airsoft (still waiting for my first skirmish). I was given and old rifle to borrow by my cousin, as he no longer uses it, just until I get my own rifle and equipment.

 

Now the rifle is in black, it's a G36 GEN 2. I don't have UKARA membership does this mean I can't use it in skirmishes?

 

My cousin seems to be of the impression that UKARA is only for purchasing and as long as I am sensible and only use it for skirmishing (which of course I am sensible) I will be fine using the rifle until I get UKARA and purchase my own PIF. Is this correct?

 

Many thanks, S.
