derbyduck Posted May 14, 2020 Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 as the law on posting air guns changed recently ? the reason I ask is I was wanting to get a gun for my grandson but the dealer told me he could not post an airgun since the law changed about a year ago !

oldypigeonpopper Posted May 14, 2020 Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 hello, i am sure he can send to a local RFD when they reopen, but that would add around £50 extra, second hand can be sent parcel force 48 Hour, what air rifle are you wishing to buy ?

ratchers Posted May 14, 2020 Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 A gunshop selling an air rifle has to send it to a rfd. A private seller can send an air rifle by PF48 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gameking Posted May 14, 2020 Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 You can buy a new gun from a gunshop in the EU and have it posted to your front door - isn't the VCR ACT great 😒 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Private seller to private buyer Parcelforce 48, it must be declared, it must be labelled "Delivery Exception - Addressee ONLY - Do Not Leave With Neighbour" Edited May 14, 2020 by enfieldspares Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snipper Posted May 14, 2020 Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 What springer was you looking at ? There's a few eu shops that will deliver quicker than buying from the UK and cheaper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruno22rf Posted May 15, 2020 Report Share Posted May 15, 2020 Search the sales sites i.e. Gunwatch, Guntrader etc and buy used from a private seller - PF 48 is around £15 - I have bought/sold many guns this way and only ever had one turn up "not as described" and even then the seller refunded me. Look for something like the HW30 or Original 25. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi OPP, no it’s not been tuned but It’s only been used lightly, not even had a whole tin of pellets through it. £150? 6 hours ago, HDAV said: Also potentially interested in a price, SWS is a German seller often mentioned... https://www.versandhaus-schneider.de/index.php/cPath/40_1678_942_944_1671 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
