  1. VFC Pin Set For MP5 - Dimensions? Probably a long shot but does anyone have these and can tell me the dimensions…? https://www.ehobbyasia.com/products/vfc-pin-set-for-umarex-mp5-gbb?srsltid=AfmBOoqk6HS52lsRdgYvCglsSzzSV77uDCrsrH_SCurKJOlCH07H41ss
  2. Yes, as stated here - https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/firearms-law-guidance-to-the-police-2012/guide-on-firearms-licensing-law-accessible-version “Section 57A(4) sets the maximum permitted kinetic energy levels for airsoft guns at: a) 1.3 joules if the weapon is capable of discharging two or more missiles successively without repeated pressure on the trigger, and b) 2.5 joules in any other case.”
  3. My son has a couple of replicas of pre-1870 pistols and I had no problems buying them without a UKARA registration. If you’re literally only after a wall hanger, Kolser make some half decent replicas that are probably cheaper than this TM will be - https://www.battleorders.co.uk/products/replica-colt-navy-1852?variant=44059923677427
  4. It’s 1870, so you’re good to acquire one of these as long as you’re over 18, no defence required.
  5. This was before VCRA days so no pesky two tones to worry about back then 😄. I think I had one of the first JG G36s in the country. I imported it from Gunners if anyone remembers them.
  6. True story… a few years ago a policeman who used to go to the same airsoft site as me borrowed my JG G36C. His mate was applying for the armed section and they used it to practice drills.
  7. That’s two my son will want (SKS and FG42). Are S&T any good? Don’t think I’ve ever seen any of their stuff in person.
  8. If you’re over 18 you can buy a .22 air rifle, (which is roughly the same calibre as a 6mm bb) of up to 12ft/lbs, which is roughly 16 joules (vs ~1.1 joules for your average airsoft RIF or ~2.3 joules for your average bolt action). The law is very muddled at times!
  9. On the subject of Firearms Certificates and RIFs… there was a story going round not long after the VCRA came in to play about a couple of Police Firearms Officers who visited an airsoft shop. They wanted to buy a pistol to mount on a plaque as a gift for someone who was retiring. They were apparently very shocked to be told the shop couldn’t sell them a RIF, despite them standing there with their real Glocks holstered, because they didn’t have a valid defence. Not sure how true it was and of course they could have been doing some ‘mystery shopping’ in a bid to catch the shop out over the new law.
  10. I might be wrong but I always understood it was selling, import or manufacture that was an offence without a specific defence. So in a sale of a RIF to someone without eg. a UKARA registration, it is the seller that is committing the offence, not the buyer. The buyer would only be committing an offence if they attempt to import a RIF into the UK without a defence.
  11. THIS ADVERT IS 'UNCOMPLETED' - THIS MEANS THE ADVERTISER HASN'T BUMPED THIS LISTING, BUT IT COULD STILL BE WORTH CONTACTING THEM.

  12. I keep all my boxes. I think it’s better if you’re eventually going to sell them as it’s a good selling point and makes postage easier. If you’re never going to sell them then you probably don’t need the boxes but it might make it easier for your kids if they eventually have to sell them. I guess it depends if you need the space in the shed. You could try offering them for sale. Some people might want a box for an existing RIF if they don’t have one.
  13. I love the short versions. Reminds me of my JG M733 I got rid of years ago. Wish I'd kept that.
