mp5a4 Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Law is a bit stupid, as I see it, what stops you being gifted an IF from a parent, then playing airsoft and keeping a record that you have been and then converting it to a RIF? Your defence is that you play airsoft and there is nothing in the VCRA that says an under `8 cannot convert their gun, only purchase is regulated.

Supporters sp00n Posted July 9, 2016 Supporters Share Posted July 9, 2016 Your defence is that you play airsoft and there is nothing in the VCRA that says an under `8 cannot convert their gun, only purchase is regulated. No, it states you cannot manufacture a RIF with out a defence. Converting an IF to a RIF is classed as manufacturing. Also it's the sale (or seller) that's legally (well covered by the VCRA) regulated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GearTech Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 I'm glad to hear this from you, as I had been itching to point this out to you for a long while, but I didn't give you the fairest shake when you arrived - but now someone's put you in your place (I know nothing about that), it's good to address to as an equal at last. And good to hear you talk about this, I imagine now you're making a business of it you're consulting a lawyer to get this opinion? I would hope the yellow gun above is two-tone, though I can see how the red one might not be "bright red" or might not be a solid enough block of red. Though to be fair, MANY airsoft retailers don't use "bright" colours, ie lime green, neon purple, cyan, yellow, etc. Can you give us some examples of your custom two-tones which have been approved - or you believe to be approved? I haven't any examples to be honest. I get plenty of enquiries but generally have to tell people that their desired finish wouldn't be classed as a 2 tone. In the end they go with a regular 2 tone but if it's done right and with certain colours it can still look ok. As to the red on the Mandalorian M4 not being dright enough that might be down to the photos. You couldn't really get any "redder". Latest 2 tone that I sent out last week was bright purple.

ik0uuu Posted July 11, 2016 Author Share Posted July 11, 2016 Update - After seeing me airsofting yesterday at my local site, my stepdad who was against returning to the sport has finally given in! He's making a return and is purchasing rifles accordingly & getting his UKARA registration in order! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aengus Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 I wish I had parents as willing to get involved in airsoft as the ones on these forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's making a return and is purchasing rifles accordingly & getting his UKARA registration in order!Hmm, been airsoft 2 years have you? Wait till I tell your mother!I didn't want to come back as it's an addictive hobby, plus Its been probably 12yrs since I last ran out on the skirmish field at spectre war games. I sold all my airsoft gear to fund a model railway, now I'm selling the remains of the railway to start airsoft in again. GAH, I must be mad doing this again at my age, and fitness levels. Better make sure the boys not in the will! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamberlin Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Just get a G&G Combat Machine. If paintball can make me feel euphoric, then surely handling something that feels like a real firearm and works similarly is fun...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seany.exe Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Not going to happen, I assure you Sacarathe XD This is a shame, I know you're just a kid and eager to play but you come across as a pretentious CoD kid that only cares about appearances. you ask for others opinions, get told cold hard facts and look to try breaking the law to get around this. You're nothing more than an arsehole and I fully back anyone that you consider was being "rude" to you. I'm out, please stop polluting our forums.

AndyGif290368 Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Yes. Drew quite often comes off as being rude, very rude or even obnoxious. It's not entirely his own fault, he is very high functioning autistic. Everything in his world needs to be perfect, if a gun is supposed to be black, then it has to be black. A two tone weapon is just wrong in his eyes and there is nothing you or I can do to convince him otherwise. Let's not get him started on uniform or gun stats or you'll never shut him up.
