2 tone silver legal?

[Tshirt456]

Well i want to buy a gun from Evike.com and it's painted silver and black. Will it be legal for me to purchase it and have it shipped? They're offering a 2 tone service but its bloody £25 which is a complete rip-off.

 

Thanks =D

 

I'll post a pic of the gun!

Has to be a bright colour like lime green, blue or orange. Silver would still be a RIF.

Silver or chrome finishes are still a realistic colour and therefore would be considered a RIF (realistic imitation firearm). Many many guns come with a silver/ chrome slide and black lower frame or vice versa.

 

UK law states if you hold no defence to own a RIF your gun must be coloured 51% in a NON realistic colour and as said above, that is bright green, orange, red, or blue.

 

If you attempted to buy that pistol or any other which resembles a "realistic" firearm, UK customs will simply seize and destroy it.

(Bright) Yellow, (bright) pink, (bright) purple and transparent too.

 

A few places cheat though and use "bright" dark green though.

That's UPS actually. Though no doubt there is some kind of kickback as they don't use any other carriers.

The law states you need a defence for a shop to sell you a RIF. Not for you to own one; you don't have to hand the things in when your site membership expires.

 

I know it's pedantry but that's the sort of thing that gets spread and before you know it it's all "ukara lisenz!!1" everywhere you go.
