That weird abortion of a 'honey badger' wouldn't have been the aesthetic example I'd have chosen in all honesty.

Greenside ops, LRRP's would be one use id imagine

Anytime ive ordered from them its always been 7 days.

Facemask if you dont like getting hit up the gob

For that money you could get a tm recoil

If you painted it into a 2-tone in that country and then brought it into the UK that would be legal, however, if you then wanted to paint it back to a RIF in the UK you'd be guilty of MANUFACTURING a RIF which is just as illegal as importing, so you might as well get a UKARA number or buy a 2-tone in the UK.
 
I'll reiterate what Mack said, stop trying to look for loopholes, it just makes you look like a dick.

^ The 'point of putting them in there' is to ensure that entitled groups (those with the 'specific defences') are not prosecuted, but not being prosecuted for something is not the same as not having committed an offence.
 
What jcheeseright is suggesting is also my interpretation of the law. The VCRA clearly defines importation of a RIF as an offence. Therefore it is illegal. It then goes on to note that those groups who have a specific defence against prosecution will not be prosecuted for this offence if they can demonstrate such as defence (such as the much touted 'airsoft defence' which is not one of those defences found in the original VCRA anyway but was later added here: http://www.opsi.gov.uk/si/si2007/20072606.htm).
 
The fact that you will not be prosecuted for an act does not mean that act wasn't an offence, and therefore against the law. It may render it 'de facto legal,' in as much as you can seemingly do something illegal whilst knowing you won't be prosecuted for it, but that doesn't actually make the act any less of an offence.
 
The term you used yourself, "answered for," highlights this; you can't answer a question if the question hasn't first been asked, and you can't answer for an offence with a defence against prosecution unless you have first committed an offence.

Having a defence against prosecution is not the same as not having committed an offence. Not being prosecuted for an offence does not make it any less illegal to commit that offence just that you will not be punished for that offence.

there's no part under that which makes the import of a RIF legal under any circumstances. It's ALWAYS illegal, much like the sale is ALWAYS illegal, we simply have a defence against prosecution for committing that crime.

Eye protection (Goggles or mask), Combat boots and Knee pads in that order. Gloves help with blisters but if I had to pick just three things and turn up in any old clothes I want those, not only for safety but comfort also. I'm a more confident diving about with ankle support or taking a knee when I've got a lot of weight on my back if I'm wearing the proper stuff.
 
 
EDIT: Ninja'd by Mack. Didn't see your post mate.

Would rather use the money to get my usual blasters than to just piss about in the garden.

Chock, 'Special Forces' when referring to US military units ( certainly with official sources) almost always means US Army Special Forces, other wise known as green berets. They're a specific unit split into 7 groups.
 
It's a common misconception that the term special forces refers to all SOCOM and JSOC units, or anyone that's not conventional infantry... But with the yanks, it's just that one unit; US Army Special Forces.

Legal to own... illegal to import without a suitable defence. Which as far as customs are concerned is UKARA or nothing.
 
No such thing as a license, never has been, never will be.

Here's the rub:
- There is no such thing as a a UKARA "license". You can become a UKARA registered skirmisher however...
- It's NOT illegal to own or buy a RIF, whether you are a registered skirmisher or not. End of story.
- It IS illegal for a retailer to sell you a RIF if you are under 18 or cannot provide a defence against prosecution under the VCRA - which is where becoming a registered skirmisher comes in.
- It IS illegal to "manufacture" a RIF without the aforementioned defence.
- Two tones are not considered realistic and therefore as long as you are over 18, a retailer can sell you one.
 
This stuff has been covered countless times elsewhere...

Cheers Mack, looks like you're on the money
