BorgCymru Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Hello there, I'm really here to seek advice and find one perticular gun. Always since I was a 'yung un' wanted a mauser broomhandle. Never had the chance and with replicas being banned thought, after looking on the net, I could get a decent looking airsoft one. Have seen a write up on the Mauser M712 "Broomhandle" - HFC which fits the bill, but wondered if there was anything better around now, or where I could get one of these. Thanks.

Supporters Rock-climby-Dave Posted November 9, 2010 Supporters Share Posted November 9, 2010 very few companies make them, so if the HFC one is good for your needs go for it, also will it be used for skirmishing or a display piece? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BorgCymru Posted November 9, 2010 Author Share Posted November 9, 2010 Maybe a bit of target pinking fun but mostly display. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Rock-climby-Dave Posted November 9, 2010 Supporters Share Posted November 9, 2010 are you aware of the laws around UKARA and VCRA? Basically, the VCRA means that you can't purchase a RIF unless you have a valid defence. UKARA is the main body for airsofters and sites to continue to buy/sell RIF's (black guns) if you don't have that it is basically the gun has to be over 50% brightly coloured.

AF-UK Founding Member Deva Posted November 9, 2010 AF-UK Founding Member Share Posted November 9, 2010 He's pretty much just explained it to you. UKARA stands for United Kingdom Airsoft Retailers Association RIF stands for Realistic Immitation Firearm VCRA stands for Violent Crime Reduction Act edit: dave beat me to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BorgCymru Posted November 9, 2010 Author Share Posted November 9, 2010 Yep just read though, seems my idea of getting one to hang it on the wall is a no no here then. Or at least is to complicated just for an ornament. OK thanks for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
