It affects all my adds.

Still not got the renew option unfortunately, just have to relist your for sale items at the moment.

Been using Firesupport for years, they are the best supplier of parts in the U.K. There tech, Ian, is excellent, had a few builds by him and they are excellent, nothing leaves him unless it’s working 100%.

At the moment you don’t get the renew option unfortunately, hopefully it will get sorted.

Lovely, many thanks 😁

The automatic renewal system is not worth doing, who wants the old system back?

You do if you want it to go back to the top as it did when we use to renew ourselves.

Airsoft will face further restrictions long before it happens to air pistols or air rifles. Not sure I agree with this statement. As I remember it was a Labour Government that was going to ban airsoft. At the time before the compromise of self regulation was agreed the owners of airsoft guns were told you can keep what you have but can’t buy anymore. I don’t remember if they had planned to actually ban the sport of airsoft. Does anyone remember. In Scotland all airguns are now licensed, with practically all the same requirements as FAC guns. Airsoft guns are considered toys I believe and are not included. I think airguns might be licensed in England & Wales, the only thing putting off any government is the numbers involved, approx 6 million airguns in circulation according to police figures. At the moment the licensing system can’t cope in many areas, with renewals and grants taking months and extensions being given as a matter of course. Some areas are taking more than a year before they even visit for a grant. I have no idea how many airsoft guns are in circulation, a lot I would think. And unlike bans on blank firers where the government can get away without paying compensation as they are claiming they can be converted to fire live rounds, any ban on airsoft would require compensation to be paid.

Let rip bonfire night.

I know that the air cartridge (brocock ban) was a complete failure as only a small percentage that the police thought were in circulation got accounted for. In the House of Lords a few years ago they were discussing the lever release rifles as that law was changing, one of the members obviously knew his stuff and reminded his colleagues that compensation would be needed to avoid the farce of the air cartridge ban whereb 60-80 thousand went underground.

The government were crafty with the brocock ban as you were given the option to keep them if you applied to put them on FAC. As I understand it, please correct me if iam wrong. If the government ban a gun because it could be converted to fire live rounds they don’t have to offer compensation. If for example they choose to ban replica airguns because they didn’t want them in circulation for some reason, then they would have to compensate owners.

Like a lot of these bans, some will ignore it and just hang on to them, it’s happened with all these types of legislation ideas. Had a guy come to our club a few months ago who still had 3 air cartridge guns, he hadn’t heard about the ban which was many years ago. He handed them into the police, they just took them & made no fuss apparently.

Nice dealer, getting rid of his stock of guns that will be banned in a few months. Bet he wasn’t passing on the information to the buyers.

Mmmmmm!

I worry about you.😂

I was more concerned that Border Force might think I and the seller were trying to avoid custom charges by declaring it as a gift, I would prefer they put down it was a purchase not a gift. Where did you find out about BF having a 2 week back log.

Royal Mail I emailed E Hobby Asia who I ordered from and asked if they put toy parts or the actual details on the declaration. They did list it as a Co2 mag along with the price etc. But, and I’am not sure if this is a problem, they choose ‘gift’ rather than sale of goods. I would have thought it they choose gift they shouldn’t have put down a value.

Are Border Force stopping gas & Co2 mags as well. Mines been held up for ages without any reason given.

You can delete your add and then re-list it, bit of a chore, especially if you have quite a few.

Think it’s because of the automatic renewal, if your item is on say, page 4 of parts it’s just stays on page 4 so a bit pointless.
