If you painted it into a 2-tone in that country and then brought it into the UK that would be legal, however, if you then wanted to paint it back to a RIF in the UK you'd be guilty of MANUFACTURING a RIF which is just as illegal as importing, so you might as well get a UKARA number or buy a 2-tone in the UK.

 

I'll reiterate what Mack said, stop trying to look for loopholes, it just makes you look like a dick.

Here's the rub: - There is no such thing as a a UKARA "license". You can become a UKARA registered skirmisher however... - It's NOT illegal to own or buy a RIF, whether you are a registered skirmish

Legal to own... illegal to import without a suitable defence. Which as far as customs are concerned is UKARA or nothing.   No such thing as a license, never has been, never will be.

more to the point, the OP doesn't have any kind of defence and therefore WOULD be breaking the law if he were to import a RIF.

Aye, Ill do that then I can paint it blue so it wouldnt look that bad and the reason why Im not purchasing it in the UK is because it is either out of stock or too expensive. Im also not trying to be a dick its just that I do not understand the laws completely regarding airsoft. Thanks for that advice anyway.
