Gnome of the Woods Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 RM have to carry Non-FAC air rifles Parcel Force do not! If sending an air rifle make sure you have the correct compo and that the carrier (royal Mail basically) says in it's T&C's it will carry them, otherwise if there is a problem you have no recourse to compo!
