You've got to take account for the fact that not everyone realises you can search on forums, espescially if they don't use them often. Younger kids don't have experience on the internet, and so don't understand how forums work. It could also be laziness to I guess, but I think it's more of the...

I see your point, but some people such as myself didn't have a dad around. My mum wouldn't have the foggiest about weapons, and so I had to look elsewhere to get my information. There's nothing wrong with using your initiative and not being dependent on your parents for everything. It's all...

Yeah, no surprise there. Well, if you read my other topic, you'd see that I plan to. You have no idea whether or not I have a defense under the VCR act. I was asking about the legality of importing, not the legality of having or buying one. I'm trying to find the cheapest price. The cheapest...

What exactly is your point here? You're just rambling on and your sentences are barely coherent.

And the point of that comment is? The blank firing RIF from spain is actually UK spec, just half the price. Was that supposed to be an insult or....?

So you're saying that I should surrender my rights to the police just because they're nosey? If I get stopped for a decent reason, I'd co-operate fully. If I am stopped for no reason, I'll challenge them on it. They can arrest me, but it'd be false arrest and then they'd have a real shit storm...

I have carried rifle bags, large camping rucksacks through cities past plenty of police officers and not once been stopped or asked what's in my bag. Police would have no reason to ask me and simply wouldn't care what's in it anyway... I can imagine however, that if I were to act like a dick...

https://www.gov.uk/police-powers-to-stop-and-search-your-rights As I said: if they have ‘reasonable grounds’ to suspect If you have done nothing wrong, and you are travelling to and from a location with your RIF stored away and out of sight, then there is no reasonable grounds to search you...

Well it would be against the law for the police to stop and search you without a reasonable suspicion of you committing a crime. I know that's basically what you said, but if you transport it in a container (preferably locked), I can't see you running into any problems. It's common sense...

No, you don't need a firearms license to own a blank firing gun, you can buy them legally within the UK, however they need to be two-toned due to the VCR act. I don't know if customs are going to like me importing one though, since it'll be black. As long as it cannot be modified to take live...

I wish to purchase a blank firing pistol from a french company, since it's half the price new of a second hand one over here. What's the legality behind this? Is it legal to purchase and then post over an RIF from France?

Sorry for being a complete idiot, but all it says is Semi-automatic, Co2, replica pistol which applies to the UK version too, surely? The only difference is Co2 vs Gas.

Anyone know the legalities of importing a Blank firing RIF from france?

Ah right, that makes sense now. I don't understand, was that to me? What about the description are you referring to?
