bruno22rf Posted May 31, 2021 Report Share Posted May 31, 2021 I'm guessing that, unless it is recorded on his FAC, then yes . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wymberley Posted May 31, 2021 Report Share Posted May 31, 2021 I haven't a clue and am still wondering about the need for an RFD (Pellpax) to deliver to me a non FAC mod for my non FAC air pistol by their own in-house delivery service. I can only assume that they're legally obliged to and if this is the case it would seem that the law yet again is one of those donkey type things.

Walker570 Posted May 31, 2021 Report Share Posted May 31, 2021 I did not need a certificate to buy my air rifle mod for the AA S200 12ftlb so I see no reason why an air rifle mod cannot be sent by post. A piece of pipe isn't it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wymberley Posted May 31, 2021 Report Share Posted May 31, 2021 Not quite sure that I like which way this is going. Would be a teensy weensy bit annoyed if I forked out for the courier delivery if it was just to keep them busy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that rfds have to post them this way for some daft reason, better to collect it or have someone else collect and post, worth a phone call though, adding £20 to your costs is pointless.

Could this be because they need some a** cover and usually need to use that method for most items anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A moderator is a firearm component and is on the RFDs register, everything on the register can only be sold fact to face. Once it is sold for air use it comes off the register and as a private individual you can sell it to anyone over the age of 18 exactly the same as an air Rifle.

So, I could buy, say, 100 at a discounted price for my non FAC guns, having them RFD couriered to my door and sell them on at a price having fired one shot so second hand and have them delivered at Royal Mail rates.

strimmer_13 Posted June 6, 2021 Report Share Posted June 6, 2021 As a private individual, technically yes. Freeads (before the ban), people used to 3d print them and do exactly that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much discount do you think you might get and do you really think you would make sufficient profit to make it worth your while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would hope to make nineteenandelevenpencethreefarthings. On the other hand, it would be safe to assume that I was having a poke at the donkeyishlikeness of the particular legislation.
