Im Puzzeled BB A FAC rated airgun is not classed as a 'Air weapon' (As banned for sale for under 18's) but as a firearm, and is perfectly legal to be bought by someone of 17 years and older (with licences etc). This is as long as the Air-rifle you own is written onto your FAC. Edited November 3, 2009 by Bleeh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
