This thread makes me want to get out and shoot the Gamo springer that I got fixed under warranty then it sat in the cupboard for 2 years because the only close place I could shoot was on Wednesday nights and if the guy felt like turning up.
The Air Rifles & Pistols thread

Hi,
Yes, I can recommend http://www.krale-schietsport.nl/en/ in The Netherlands.
I pave purchased a CO2 pistol (a SPA CP-1M actually) from them myself, as have many others in the U.K. and elsewhere, and was very pleased with the service I received.
Their carriage charges are very reasonable and they ship well packed items by courier (UPS from memory), directly to your door in about three or four days.
Another popular vendor is http://www.silesia-factory.pl/en/ in Poland who sometimes sell a bit cheaper, but then have a higher shipping charge. I have not used them personally, but again have read good reports about them.
You can save quite a lot by buying this way, and if purchasing from an EU country you don't have to worry about import duty etc.
Hope this helps!

There is an air rifle range near me, it's £25 for an hour, for 2 people including gun hire. Would it be any good? Looks quite underwhelming from the video but maybe it's better when you actually do it. The guns are semi automatic and there appears to be almost zero recoil, i would have thought it'd be a tad more violent? I dunno really. Any thoughts?
If it's your first time you might want to shoot a spring air gun as you'll get more out of it. I had a go on PCP (very little recoil) and it felt like easy mode at 25 yrds I didn't really see the point in it.

Sounds like airsoft or bb firing. Ronnie sunshines does something similar at their shops.
@kPATm. I bought my airsoft Umarex Colt saa from
http://www.ebairsoft.com/mobile/index.php
Iirc they had lever action rifles and the .177 bb Umarex Colt saa but I didn't see the .177 pellet version yet.

It looks as if this site requires a User Name and a Password!
Not such a tough requirement, is it????
Genuine question as I may be missing something.
Weird, I joined half way through the buying process having spent days browsing through my options.
so what are people's thoughts on this?
It was handed in to my local shooting ground last week.
the general consensus from the club is that the police would rather you just surrender your air rifles and pistols.
what riles me is the use of the word weapon. i do not own a weapon! i own an air rifle and a shotgun.

Makes me sad to think of all the beautifully engineered airguns that will be destroyed when the owners see one of these and are scared into getting rid of them quickly to not get into trouble. Probably loads of old Webleys out there in peoples lofts that could be going to a new home rather than melted down

The chavs with their rusty old B2 wont give a monkeys.

Looking at the police website it seems to mainly effect "back-yard plinkers" as those with a "proper" reason to own an air weapon (pistol or rifle) such as for FT/HFT target shooting and pest control, can apply for a licence, which is much easier to get than a FAC.
It stiill won't have any effect on the scum with their £50 B2's shooting people though.

I'm a back yard plinker . I have zero interest in competing in HFT/FT with all the silly rules. I just like collecting airguns and informal target shooting. Really hope this doesn't make its way over to England. I'd just have to join a club I guess as there is no way I would be getting rid of my airguns.

Quite fun to shoot, but really had to get all pelets into the target, at 10 yards, with a sight!
I traded it for a Hammelli/Humarex 850 -- same 88g CO2 cartridges, but hopefully a lot more precise!

I have had a BSA Airsporter in my attic for years. I wasn't going to sell it until this licence issue came up.
I don't want it to get melted, I would rather sell it so it can be used.
Where is the best place to sell an air rifle online?

Is it likely that this will affect England and Wales in the near future?
