Got a .22 air rifle I want to sell but with all the new laws I haven't a clue!
Anyone know?
Anyone know?
Crossman phantom .22 and Norica rifle bag.New laws (sec 31 of the 2006 violent crime reduction act) do apply but they're not very well enforced, what is it that you have to sell Jon?
I'm guessing that was meant to say combined? And if so yesCombien?
Just stuck it in auction at Peter Francis. Goes up in about 2-3 weeks.I've finally had an unofficial response from the Firearms Licensing Department of Dyfed Powys Police (Jon's Police authority). They only take any interest in the sale of air rifles under 12 f/lbs if the person selling them is doing so overtly as part of a business. It isn't that it's legal to sell them (the law is wide open to interpretation around the term "trade") just that it's tolerated for a person to sell their own airgun, unless a person has multiple air guns offered for sale, as a business or a complaint is made.
Also the Firearms Licensing Dept. are not yet responsible for reviewing the RFD's records on air gun sales and the police have no interest in them unless they're part of a larger case.
The opinion of my Firearm Liaison officer is that it was a matter of the UK government taking half a faltering step toward the Scottish system and then not following through as the administration costs would be too high leaving a large grey area that no one wants to look at.
