    Kwa M226 (Sig P226) Ptp Venting Gas

    I have a fairly old KWA P226 that’s always been solid, but now is giving me issues. It’s a gun based issue and not mag based (tried 4 of them). Essentially it just vents all the gas in the mag on one shot. From what I can see, the piece in front of the hammer that hits the gas release on the mag...

    UKARA is not the defence, it's a way to prove the defence.

    I came here to be pedantic but a different pedant has already done the pedantry that I wanted to do, so I'm about to deal some double pedantry: it is you that needs the defence when importing or manufacturing.

    New to the Game

    As above Donzie, the VCRA is the relevant piece of legislation here, not UKARA (which is just a database). Weirdly, as long as you're over 18 it's never illegal for you to buy a RIF, so you're covered either way. For your friend to have the defence he'd probably like to have as a seller he...

    Donzie, have you already been playing airsoft at a site and was this potential seller there with you?

    Has the forum gone to the dogs?

    I don't post much about airsoft because I don't like airsoft very much.

    Two Tone I Ordered Wasn't a Two Tone on Arrival

    Which is why the 'law' section on any airsoft forum is always the place to be! (Fires AK into the air as if he's at a wedding).

    Two Tone I Ordered Wasn't a Two Tone on Arrival

    So, just to be safe should I send the AK back? Also, I've eaten the fruit salad sweets now and I fired about 20 rounds into the air at a wedding I went to (everyone else was doing it), will that affect me getting a refund?

    Two Tone I Ordered Wasn't a Two Tone on Arrival

    Should I two tone it myself just to be sure?

    Two Tone I Ordered Wasn't a Two Tone on Arrival

    I don't play very much anymore so when I wanted an Cyma AK47 for Christmas I ordered one as a two tone. However when it arrived it wasn't a two tone and it was an actual real AK47. Because it was Christmas they also put some fruit salad sweets in there as a treat and a wooden box with 100 7.62mm...

    Travelling with a RIF

    It would be an odd choice. I don't carry my real guns in "proper gun cases" and there's no law that says I have to.

    Disabled people simply cannot obtain an R.I.F through UKARA.

    I agree with the OP. I did some DEEP research into this and did you know that the UKARA licensing board is also speciesist? If you read the wording of the VCRA that they use to inform their actions you'll see that gorillas also can't be given the license, even if they play their three games...

    Does A FAC/Shotgun License Count As A Valid Defense?

    Ahh! No, don't apologise; that endangers the sport even more! The police, the Daily Mail and all 650 MPs (and possibly the FBI and CIA for some reason) are constantly monitoring all airsoft forums in the UK. If you apologise for something you are, in effect, admitting you are guilty of...

    Does A FAC/Shotgun License Count As A Valid Defense?

    No thread is complete without sarcasm. No thread I tell you! Not having enough sarcasm is endangering the sport!

    Does A FAC/Shotgun License Count As A Valid Defense?

    Be realistic! What's a FAC worth? All it means is that you've convinced the police service that you're qualified to possess, safely store and safely use a range of dangerous killing machines including .50 calibre rifles that can fire accurately and lethally to distances of over a mile. That's...

    Is this legal?

    It is manufacturing, but the defence against prosecution for manufacturing is simply that you were doing it for the purposes of "the acting out of military or law enforcement scenarios for the purposes of recreation" (an example of which is 'airsoft skirmishing') at a site with third party...

    GBB Pistol age limit?

    They seem to go harder on the seller, but 24A (i) here certainly has the buyer at fault if they are under 18 as well: http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2006/38/section/40

    GBB Pistol age limit?

    Not correct on the above actually. If you're over 18 then only the seller is committing the offence (unless under very specific circumstances) but if you're under 18 it is illegal to buy a RIF too, so both the buyer and seller would be at fault.

    UKARA site with range enough to get registration?

    That has nothing to do with it in reality though. If his site signs off on it then they sign off on it. I doubt they will, but then again, business is business.

    UKARA site with range enough to get registration?

    Depends on how the site feels about it. Ask them.

    Teen carrying RIF nearly shot by armed police in Birmingham.

    Also (having now actually bothered to watch the link) why the hell is the Daily Mail reporting this now when the incident happened years ago?
