New Or Secondhand

Hello guys

I am not sure if this daft question but as you read the law and rules it is making me think about the Legal power limits. When buying a car you can tell a lot about it from the address and owner and the HPI

checks etc but as I see it if the gun is over then you are in bother big time.

If you buy of a gun smith/ trader and all the factory seals are on and you have the papers etc, it's a worry as fire arms offences are a place you can't go if you want to work for a living ?

 

can you guys tell me how it is. If I get it wrong I get it wrong for all airsporters.

Buy a chronograph, then you`ll know and be able to rectify it.

 

Edited to say - If you do buy one, test your rifle with a range of pellets as, your gun might be up close to the limit with your usual pellet, It could be over with the type the police may use for the test.

Hello Bob

I had thought about that but as a beginner you don't no what should be done.

I know quite a few people with air rifles but they don't have that bit of kit.

I also would not know how to temper the power of an overpowered air rifle.

The only thing I could think of would be to leave the spring compressed for a length of time but that

dose not sound very good for the gun.

Hello Tim

I am not sure what an A/T is ?

 

Bob

I have just re read your post (could go over with the pellets that the Police use)

This is starting to spook me as I do not want to be any where near getting into any kind of bother but thanks for the advice.
