So I have just seen that KM is now jammed from First and Only sites

I have used it and the liability is all on the seller. You aren't at risk

100% The law is actually written in a way that benefits players a lot I think. It is the retailer who just has to make some effort to prove it was sold to someone with a valid excuse/defence from the VCRA. It could have been way harsher and said to simple own a RIF you must be registered or licensed. Back to the OP for a sec, I think your best forms of "Valid defence" that you can get easily right now with lockdown is probably going to be 1: Just Cos 2: Sportmans association. I think sportsman's is more wild accepted but don't quote me on that and it is more expensive. I have Just Cos. Have only been declined by one retailer who doesn't even accept sales through their website and Facebook only...

I would be interested in it as long as everyone is still aware it's just airsoft yano. Would feel silly to take it very very seriously but of course if there are left tactics you can transfer that would be cool. Don't Spartan Airsoft have a training thing for AFO Police?

I can actually add some weight to this. I had police ask if they could speak to me. Because someone I used to associate with, who had seen the RIFs in my home had informed them that I had some kind of firearm. Two non armed police officers came to my door, no warrant, and politely explained and asked if they could see said firearm. Upon discovering it was a RIF they chuckled, had no further questions, didn't ask for a defence and simply left.

No email, but in your profile there's the "Certificate of insurance" and policy from Zurich. As far as I was aware by the writings of the VCRA there's nothing wrong with owning a RIF and you don't need a valid defence to own one. It is the sale and importing of them. Again could be wrong but I think the liability is also on the seller. So even if I didn't have insurance docs I think a police officer searching my home wouldn't have any grounds to ask for my defence. Could totalllllly be wrong about this but that has always been my reading of the law.

I agree that UKARA should consider the situation when considering renewals, It's a shame there is seemingly no guidance on new applications or amendments to the entry criteria. I think it will put off a lot of people from entering the sport/hobby, but then covid did that anyway.

Yeah it is accepted by quite a few sites at the moment Zero one Wolf Armouries Airsoftworld Action hobbies - I think

Yep exactly, now I know I am a legit airsofter. And the pic was me at a game when I used to play more. But to be honest I would totally understand if sites stopped accepting it. It is way too easy to get. But right now I didn't feel like I had an alternative.

I have a "Just Cos" account. Cost me like £20 and ordered a RIF that day. It's accepted by more and more sites at the moment but for those who don't then I am considering Sportsmans association.

Green only for the spitfire

😂😂, Yeah I think it's worth it. It's not just a small flash on the end of the RIF, but it actually fills the space around the muzzle, epically if there's any gas or mist in the air.

Lucky I caught this in time. ordered a guns modify T1 cover last week shipping to UK no problem. Already arrived. Looked back on the sight for a second and no longer UK shipping

Ahh cadets, those were the days

Or we could give them Nerf Guns

That does sound more enforceable Think I was the UKARA one there haha

I wonder how many other threads on an airsoft site have been taken over by gun control debates. Doesn't really matter what we think it's probably only gonna get tighter so lets enjoy airlsoft while we can.

Problem number 2: No UKARA due to lockdown, I only got back into the sport recently. Using some other defences which are valid and accepted here but I don't trust border force to accept them.

Yeah I'm just gonna take it to a shop

Haha so I recently thought, "I can't tell if it's me, but these videos aren't great" To put it politely. No Idea who KM is at this point. Discover KM through this lovely thread. And boom stumble across a video with KM and namesnicco. All of a sudden it made sense 😂Not a fan of either of their styles.

Anyone ever seen Name'sNicco?

I totally misread that as you should buy a TM then it slowly got worse haha. Cheers. Sounds like the MP5 wins just gotta find one in stock

Haha fair not seen that from other reviewers but sounds like it is easily resolved with this maple leaf. Presumably won't need the suppressor spacer on the A3
