    Brocock air revolvers : did they become 'illegal' ?

    Had a Brocock air revolver back in the 90s, seem to remember they became 'outlawed' : am I correct ?
    ps Found the charger pump recently ~ if anybody [ in UK] wants it they can have it for just the cost of delivery, the pistol itself I no longer own

    Scgc air guns were made sec5 in 2003 by anti social behaviour bill if i recall correctly.
    Owners were anle to get them on a sec1 fac for a brief period but they are sec5.1AF to all others.
    Even sec 5 rfd cant generally handle them as they are a specific category for which only a couple of RFD tickets were granted.

    The bonkers law makes my essentially deactivated lee enfield saxby palmer more dangerous in the eyes of the law than the sec1 original .303??? Madness.

    The really wierd thing is because they are on my fac they are cheaper to license than 'normal' airguns now thT the fishy one has triumphed with the stupid mckaskill bill on licensing airguns.

    More bonkerz
    Gun control means using both hands.

    Yes please to the pump!

    They are still legal in the more democratic parts of the world, and I am slowly gathering the pieces tobether for use in France.

    Just need a pistol now, but the German online retailer sells them to non-uk countries.

    Just out of interest how much power did these pistols shoot at, and were they consistent .
