Spray Painting Guns Legality

[Jake117]

Im UKARA'd but I'm pretty sure even now I cant un two-tone a gun. If so how would I go about getting rid of the two-tone? Is my only option to send it back or am I just stuck with it like this?

You can spray a two tone once you have ukara, I remember someone emailing to ukara and they replied saying its perfectly legal

 

[Jake117]

Oh, wow. That was un-expected First time the laws about airsoft have actually helped and not hindered me.

Spraying a Two tone constitutes to 'production of a RIF' and is covered under UKARA.

now you can buy as many TT's as you can afford and spray them all black to make the world a better place.

 

[Jake117]

Its also legal to own a RIF if their not UKARA'd as long as they dont pay for it right?

you can keep a rif if you are gifted it , abit stupid if you ask me , but ya no

 

[M_P]

Well, according to finius (our resident law advisor) no

i rember a thread a while ago and someone said you could , im no expert but then again i ddo play airsoft and im not realy to bothered

 

[G-Force]

There are quite a few grey areas in the law regarding airsoft

 

[M_P]

I always thought you could too, buy apparently not, though as Alex says, the law isnt completely clear

Just stick to UKARA, once you have it for a year you can buy as many RiF's as you like! from anywhere that will export them. If you own a Two Tone then you can now spray it black or what ever colour you want (just not pink!).

Stick to UKARA and the airsoft community will have a far better chance of staying!

[do you think they will ever go so far as to ban airsoft ??

 

[Tristan Orr]

its been tried before and they have only just got away with it in the USA.

they tried a ban in the us ? is that a complete ban or just a ban on airsoft with rifs ?? i never hear bad press on tv or paper about airsoft , just the od kid shooting himself it the eye now and then ,

Click to shrink...

no they didnt, the sb98 bill or whatever it was called was just to try

and get all airsoft guns painted 1 bright colour (the whole gun, not

two tone) in california (might be another state)

lets face it, of all places the US are the least likely to ban it

 

[Tristan Orr]

lol, thats worse then having it banned all together!

the ukara seems to work pretty well , so lets hope it stays as is
