lavishfeast Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Evening all, I have recently returned to the airsoft fraternity and having amassed a number of guns in the past I find myself with an excess of weaponry that I'm keen to sell on. Without a UKARA licence personally am I within my legal rights to sell an RIF so long as I ensure the purchaser is licensed and has all the necessary certification? Many thanks.

Supporters sp00n Posted October 30, 2013 Supporters Share Posted October 30, 2013 It's not a licence it's a defence It is not illegal to own a rif It IS illegal to sell a rif to someone who dose not have a defence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters jcheeseright Posted October 30, 2013 Supporters Share Posted October 30, 2013 Yep, all you need to do is make sure the buyer has a valid defence, there's nothing required to sell. Also, just as importantly, no such thing as a UKARA license, it's just a database! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavishfeast Posted October 30, 2013 Author Share Posted October 30, 2013 Many thanks gents! Rather than start a new thread, I had attended the required skirmish dates to be eligible for the UKARA database but work took me away from the pastime until now and I never pursued acquiring my number, is it as simple as contacting the site and providing my name to get a hold of it? Cheers in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longshot Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 How long was it since you played the required games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavishfeast Posted October 30, 2013 Author Share Posted October 30, 2013 Approximately 3/4 months. Edit: Scratch that, time flies - 7/8 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longshot Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 In that case you should still be eligible. Best thing is to call the site where you played the games and ask them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

assassin0001 Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Ukara is for the retailor alone and being on the register simply helps them to know that you have a defence and they can legally sell to you BUT providing the contact of your site owner to confirm you are a regular skirmisher is a perfectly acceptable option providing he can prove who he is.
