Mos Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 Hey guys, I bought this ICS CXP08 (it's awesome) anyways, for some of you that have been involved in the threads I have made regarding what gun to buy, you'll remember me but it is two tone red, yet the paint rubs off very easy, I'm not gonna lie, I like it rubbed off, but does this mean anything legally ? The paint rubs off very easily. (I am quite pleased it does though) I don't have a UKARA. Thanks. proffrink 1
dex Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 Don't worry about it. Ukara is there to protect sellers of rifs. Esoterick 1

Mostly Retired Moderators djben9 Posted September 25, 2015 Mostly Retired Moderators Posted September 25, 2015 Did my wife paint it???!!!! Just use it for your 3 games and then no worries, you can't help the paint job. Just be sensible with it and kep it under wraps

Just don't go boasting about it to anyone.Just make sure you dont accidentally get some fairy power spray on it and remove the paint when wiping off your accidental spillage. Dont tell people on internet forums about your mishap either, it might give the wrong impression. Mos, GingerBreadMan, Esoterick and 7 others 10
Mos Posted September 25, 2015 Author Posted September 25, 2015 Ah right, I do see it as a bonus lol. But, yeah, I guess it's their fault that their paint is bad. I'll just wait the 3 games and maybe sandpaper the paint off? I scratched a bit off of the hand guard off with my nail to see how weak it was... I guess sandpaper after 3 games would do. Thanks.
Colonel Kurtz Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 I wouldn't sand paper unless you like the worn look or plan on respraying it. Powerspray will do the trick proffrink 1

Colonel Kurtz Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 Indeed not, that'd be manufacturing a RIF which is illegal unless you have a valid defence. On a completely unrelated topic, intending to use a RIF for airsoft is a valid defence and UKARA is only a way for retailers to verify this intent from the general public Aengus and ImTriggerHappy 2

Root Admin proffrink Posted September 25, 2015 Root Admin Posted September 25, 2015 Er, on a serious note let's just remember that a valid defence isn't clarified but that doesn't mean you shouldn't be careful. Again, I've been without UKARA for going on two years now but I keep a copious record of my attendances just in case. If you're reading this in two years time and you've just started airsoft then firstly, well done for getting the search to work in IPB. Secondly, if airsoft isn't banned already then don't be naughty - have a defence. There - our disclaimer is done. JamesAirsofterAgent 1
Popular Post Colonel Kurtz Posted September 25, 2015 Popular Post Posted September 25, 2015 Wait a minute this didn't turn into the usual ukara shitstorm arguement... I'm gonna go look through zero in or UKAC to make sure I haven't quantum leaped or something. Esoterick, ImTriggerHappy, djben9 and 2 others 5

BigAl Posted September 27, 2015 Posted September 27, 2015 There easy enough to build, have a look on You Tube, considering knocking one up myself this winter to keep myself amused. lol
Mos Posted September 28, 2015 Author Posted September 28, 2015 Christ, thanks for the help, tbh, I'll end up sand papering it, but I'll be playing a game soon, so let's be honest, once I've recorded one game it shows I pretty much play air soft... If it's not enough, 3 games will come soon enough
Root Admin proffrink Posted September 28, 2015 Root Admin Posted September 28, 2015 Yup, you'll be fine. I'd consider the Fairy power spray first and about an hour of scrubbing - that'll get almost all of it off. Takes a long time, but it's worth it for the results - you could use wet and dry but that tends to be less effective though you'll get quicker results. Mos 1
