  1. I have decided to sell my .22" Beech stock Air Arms TX200, due to not using it. I have owned this rifle since new and it is probably 12 years old. In reality it has only shot  less than one tin of pellets. It is in decent condition with only a few very small nicks on the wood from taking it in and out of the gun cabinet. It will be sold with the scope  and sound moderator attached. (Scope is a an illuminated reticule 6 x 24-50 AO). I think £260 is a fair price for this rifle, so not open to offers. I will also include 2 tins/boxes of air pellets. I am located in North Yorkshire about seven miles from Wetherby.

  2. Herpes by a big margin are the worse courier company by far, but a lot of companies must use them because they must be cheap. No matter how times I tell them to leave my parcels in my safe place if I am not in, I will come home to find them in plain view on the front door step. There is no use in complaining, they dont listen and fob you of with some lame excuse (I have left numerous bad reviews on trust pilot to no effect). One time they said their driver could not deliver my parcel as my driveway was blocked, I have an open driveway with no gates leading straight to my front door. i was in all day, their driver just didnt turn up, and just made this up to excuse his/her short comings. I now contact companiesI I buy off and will request they dont use Herpes if possible for my parcels.  

  3. Just to mix it up a bit, there has been interest in these in the uk, technically it shoots a hollow arrow over a hollow tube. The arrow is propelled by compressed air just like a pcp, however if you were replace the arrow with an appropriately sized lead ball directly into the tube could it be fired,if so is this now a section 1 air rifle potentially (as it is reported the kinetic energy of this is in excess of 150ftlb).

  4. Regarding were this would fall within the Firearms Act 1968 it would firstly have to satisify Section 57 (1B):-

    In subsection (1)(a), “lethal barrelled weapon” means a barrelled weapon of any description from which a shot, bullet or other missile, with kinetic energy of more than one joule at the muzzle of the weapon, can be discharged. 

    If it fufilled this there would be other things to be considered such as barrel length and overall length, which may elevate it into Section 5

    The fact it appears it can be fired in full auto mode may also elevate it into Section 5

     

     

  5. The Policing and Crime Act 2017i inserts a new section 57(1B) in the Firearms Act 1968 to define the lethality by reference to the kinetic energy level with which it can discharge a bullet, shot or missile, as measured at the muzzle of the weapon. Consequently, the 1968 Act now defines a "lethal barrelled weapon" as a "barrelled weapon of any description from which a shot, bullet or other missile, with kinetic energy of more than one joule as measured at the muzzle of the weapon, can be discharged
