larson Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 you would need to chrono anything you get as they could have been tampered with/juiced up .. personaly i would expect them to be over as the power limit is a reasent thing.. theres absolutly no way you can asume its legal....

Doggone Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 I think the auction house would soon be in trouble if it were to sell FAC rated air rifles to people without permission to aquire such a weapon on their FAC, serious trouble!!
