phantom2755 Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 So I am not licensed in any way with ukara and I would like a RIF weapon. I am also under 18. So if I wanted to get one, could a parent/friend gift me one who met all of the requirements (18/+ and licensed). I wouldn't pay them for getting for me, they would gift me an all black weapon. Is this legal or not as my cousin might actually stop playing airsoft now and has lots of RIF weapons he would give to me. Just to clarify, is it legal to (under 18): to be gifted an all black weapon by someone who is legally allowed to purchase one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Head Moderator Jedi_Master Posted March 28, 2019 Head Moderator Share Posted March 28, 2019 Welcome . There is no "license" just a defence. It is illegal for any under 18 to buy or be sold any airsoft gun, whether an IF (two-tone) or RIF. Yes, you can be gifted a RIF as you describe above.

Musica Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 you can be gifted a rif but just because someone is over 18 doesn't mean they can buy a rif to gift to you they require a defense to purchase it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just don't do anything daft with the RIFs and it won't be an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
