    No FAC airgun will be sold to anyone unless they have at least either FAC registered or as where export is concerned they have to fill in a general undertaking which is a document containing all your details and the details of the gun and a question that this gun will not be used in a war etc etc. This form has to be sent to the Firearms Officer and he will grant permission for the transaction.

    As i said without this you cannot buy a FAC airrifle.

    Clary, you son of a gun, where have you been and where's my HW80K stock?

    You cannot buy a FAC airgun in U.K. unless you have the relevant papers. However, you can buy a non-FAC airgun along with the necessary parts that you will have to install in India to make the airgun an 'FAC'.

    Which beast are you thinking of buying?
