Custom home made airsoft

[Druid799]

the whole "manufacturing a rif" shit is BS, only becomes an issue if someone then goes on to commit any type of crime with it, & tbh I know the plod wouldn't care either if its use is just airsoft/recreational.

Mite or mite not be surprised the No of plod that know absolutely nothing about Airsoft in relation to the VCR bill , where I live every yr there’s an autumn fair (been going on for 100’s of yrs aparantly) any way last yr came across a gentleman of an ethnic origin selling cheap nasty springers and ‘B.B.gunzisbestest’ quality AEGs on his stall , so I see a roaming copper go up to him inform him and he looks at me blank , a lumpy jumper joins us and she looks equally blank , he gets on the radio to his Sgt who ‘vaguely’ remembered somthing about ball bearing guns being illegal to sell without a licence but really there’s equal lack of clue from him too ! ?‍

Couple of mins later gets back on the radio to tell the little boy playing policemen (he looked about 14 ! F**k I’m old !) to say he’d spoken to a firearms officer and I was right he shouldn’t be selling them on his market stall ! ?‍

Depends on your mechanical skills and imagination really .

i wanted an SLR but couldn’t afford one so I took a king arms FAL carbine ,

And made my own L1A1 F1 , was a slightly shorter SLR that was made in low No’s for the Gurkhas and jungle warfare .

Hmm there's just something about going to an airsoft skirmish with a unique gun that i find interesting. being different from the crowd. its already quite different when i take my KSG which there isnt any of on the site i go to. but most CQB engagements are really tight through wooded area's as well as most engagement distances being a little over the range of the shotgun. making me switch to 6 per and using quite a few rapid shots to hit a target. if only the Airsoft KSG was a 14 shot gun like the real one.. in the game i played i used it extensively shooting at targets to disorientate them while i rush in closer for a hit. It was the main reason i liked the KSG accuracy and ammo.

Anyhow i'll work on making an IF airsoft for now just to see what i can come up with.

Wait what you need some kind of paperwork for making an airsoft gun? i didnt know that. ive seen one youtuber outside of the UK make guns like the type 38,  the Ghost in the shell rifle and a china lake..

So altering an existing airsoft rifle to look like something else?? i don't get what this is about. Whats the law on turning a RIF into a different RIF like say an UZI into a Ruger MP9....

You would  need a defence.

For example, UKARA is a defence.

Do you have an active UKARA registration?

Yeah i do

now im more confused.

Just remember, it's still illegal to do.

You just have a defence against prosecution and UKARA is proof of it. Provided you follow the guidance you don't need UKARA, however you'll need to convince the judge of that proof and essentially leave it in their hands to decide what's acceptable or not.

However, we haven't seen it taken into court, we can only go by the Circular/Guidance Notes for Airsoft under the 'permitted activities' label.

I wanted to make a Rueger Mini 14 with foldable stock but gave up on the idea when I found out that sourcing a replica to carve up would cost more than a new RIF.

The legality of it... doesn't really bother me.

But then I am a gangsta. ?
