Buying & Selling Modelguns / Replica Imitation Firearms in the UK


Most of us living in the UK will be fully aware of the Violent Crimes Reduction Act and the implications it had when it directly affected Replica Imitation Firearms in Ocober 2007.

However, as this forum is growing steadily with more and more new members coming aboard (great to see cheers ), I thought it best to remind folks of how the Law affects any replica gun bought and sold by UK residents.

All Sellers (Dealer or Private Seller)in the UK must ask for, and will need to see proof of the buyers:-

1. Age (minimum age 18yrs)
2. membership of a group (Re-enactors or Airsoft skirmish site)
3. details of the groups PLI (number and company its held with)
4. contact details of membership secretary


The Seller then needs to confirm the buyers' membership before the sale can take place.
If a buyer isn't able to prove legitimate membership then he / she is NOT legally entitled to buy.
Be warned that illegal sales carry heavy sentences, the Law WILL come down on you like a ton of bricks.

Importing COMPLETE replica firearms into the UK is also in contravention of the VCRA unless the buyer provides HM Customs with the above listed details proving entitlement to import.

Spare Parts and accessories, cartridges and caps are unaffected by current legislation so no such constraints apply.

Sales OUTSIDE the UK may well be subject to the Laws of the Countries involved so please make sure you're fully aware how they affect you before making any purchases guys.
