stig Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Not it doesn't. The two tone needs to cover 51% of the gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stig Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Yes, colour needs to be a 'bright colour' - red, blue, yellow, green, whatever really. But to obtain it in the first place you'd need UKARA or a valid defence. That said, the reality is that lots of RIFs get sold second hand. Up to the seller and their approach to risk of being done for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up to the seller and their approach to risk of being done for it. Under the VCRA the colours are specified, and strictly speaking they aren’t two tone but >50% in one of the bright colours, or clear Unless you are selling a RIF to someone without a defence under the VCRA then you don’t need to paint it (or the seller has a RIF and is painting it to become an IF to sell to you) The VCRA doesn’t cover possession so if you have a RIF you don’t need to paint it https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/the-violent-crime-reduction-act-2006-commencement-no-3-order-2007-firearms-measures Subsection 4 gives the Secretary of State a power to make regulations specifying dimensions and colours that will be regarded as unrealistic. This is designed to provide business with a degree of certainty over what they can trade in. The aforementioned Violent Crime Reduction Act 2006 (Realistic Imitation Firearms) Regulations 2007 specify the following dimensions and colours: a height of 38mm and a length of 70mm. An imitation firearm with dimensions less than this is to be regarded as unrealistic transparent bright red bright orange bright blue bright yellow bright green bright pink bright purple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
