JohnGalway Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 What're you going to be using it for? As I understand it air rifle use over here is different to the UK, as to what you're allowed legally to shoot with it. I think you may need a licence for it too but don't quote me on that. Someone with better info will be along shortly I'm sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr_colt Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 How would that work with a non-fac air-gun though? I thought euro-passes were only issued for what you have on your FAC/SGC? mr_colt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
