LordRonin 7 Posted February 2 So I’m starting out at airsoft and I had some money to throw away so I bought a £200 mystery box (I know you shouldn’t buy mystery boxes but it was more of a fun thing) Now when I bought the box it said if I don’t include a UKARA number then I will get a Two-tone. This didn’t bother me as I’m new. The mystery box arrived and I got over like £250 worth of gear. But one of the guns I got is a almost fully metal M4 worth £180 and it’s all black. Have I done anything wrong buying a black gun even though I thought I’d be getting a Two-Tone Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Asomodai 440 Posted February 2 You haven't done anything wrong. The seller has. If you start walking around in the street with it then the seller could get prosecuted as they sold it to you. You would get in trouble for brandishing it in public like any of us would, regardless of having a defense or not. 1 1 Rogerborg and Tackle reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tommikka 447 Posted February 2 You have done nothing wrong, and as long as you are old enough then strictly speaking the retailer has not necessarily done anything wrong. As a seller they can be held responsible for selling a RIF to a buyer that does not itend to use if for one of the uses under the VCRA defences. UKARA is just one method for retailers to show that they were reasonably sure on the intended purpose Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rogerborg 2,291 Posted February 2 Yes, you're absolutely fine to buy, own and use it.[*] As per anyone else, make sure that you have details of the site and ideally a booking confirmation to hand while you're on the way there or back - we all need a reasonable excuse for being in possession of any RIF or IF in a public place. 1 Tackle reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Iceni 546 Posted February 2 Legally you'll be fine. It's the sellers responsibility to ensure you have UKARA. They will probably argue that the gun was a "Gift" and you paid for the mystery box. Provided it shoots I wouldn't sweat it. Pop up some pictures of everything you got in the box, and we will tell you if you need anything else to play.

Jedi_Master 2,461 Posted February 2 As long as you are an adult (18 years old) then not a problem. If a child then it is illegal to purchase airsoft guns, or be sold them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LordRonin 7 Posted February 2 This is the gun and pistol I got, the photo doesn’t include the extra battery, sling and bbs they included 1 Tackle reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tackle 761 Posted February 2 Looks good mate, don't know much about the brand, initial digging around seems to suggest golden eagle has links with JG in relation to their gbb m4, maybe their aegs are too ?, wouldn't be a bad thing. what site are you playing at next ?, I ask as if any of the "old hands" on here play there, maybe they could give it the once over with regards to quality etc, put your mind at rest. what brand/model is the pistol, looks like a usp, but I've smashed my screen so nothings that clear lol.

Planning on Starting at Halo Mill in leeds area. The pistol i couldnt actually find on Extremeairsofts website as the box has no branding, so unlikely for me to find it. its a Gas non Blowback pistol though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Correct. Its essentially a rebranded JG. Pretty quality rifle. 1 Tackle reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LordRonin 7 Posted February 2 i got the mystery box from Extreme airsoft, not one of those crap 'BB' websites. all the reviews are good on the mystery boxes and everyone says they got there money worth or more, id say i did from the fact i got a good AEG to worth nearly the £200 to start off with anyway Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Immortal 498 Posted February 2 If you're happy with what you got then it doesn't really matter. Go play and the rest is history. 1 Tackle reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They are still considered to be a "crap" bb website. You got lucky this one. JG are fairly good for a starter rifle. You need to check the FPS on both of them though. The pistol could very well be shooting hot as a NBB. Interesting slim M4 style. Looks almost like an MP5 if you squint REALLY hard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Musica 31 Posted February 2 the seller is the one who is liable for the sale not the buyer. The laws are around selling NOT owning. Anyone can own a RIF. Just because you now have a RIF doesn't mean you can do what you want with it. Showing up at your local Tesco with strapped to your back would count as doing something wrong. As people have said you have no idea what fps your gun shoots at and it's possible it fires over the uk LEGAL limit of 373~ fps on 0.20s which would be a problem I think as this is classes as being in possession of a firearm so get it chronod so you know what you are dealing with.

Rogerborg 2,291 Posted February 3 I've never heard of the brand, but if it's got all the right bits then it should do as well as any other toy gun. I would urge you go get it chronoed before you rely on it though as various BB sites quote that brand at anything from 320 to 420 fps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hitmanNo2 9 Posted February 9 No one else seems to be concerned a retailer is sending out RIFs to someone with no UKARA? 1 Mad Rag reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
