kent Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 (edited) The issue is your too young to purchase ammo for anything but an FAC rated airgun. No ticket holding parent etc. no shooting without ammo. Off my head i think its 14 but check with basc- the ammo thing is the critical bit if your 17 Oh dear you also need to be 18 to buy pellets Edited August 6, 2012 by kent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-ben- Posted August 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 guess i will have to wait till im 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bedwards1966 Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 (edited) You can phone BASC up and ask them, they should be able to answer any questions that the website wasn't able to answer. I think that your stuck until you are 18 without anyone who can buy you ammo, but as I say BASC will be able to tell you more than me. You can probably get your FAC before you turn 18 (might be sensible to put it in before your birthday, depending on your force area and how long the waiting times are).
