    In England it's not a restricted item & I really don't see why you should be expected to know the law of another country.
    Knowing this lot up here, You could be done for importing a firearm without a license

    But the seller/sender is in England so how can a Scottish law apply to him ?

    It's the buyer who would be breaking the law if he doesn't have a licence.

    Yes. They would be even if they have the authority to possess airguns on their FAC or SGC ( you can't buy a rifle ,component parts or a moderator unless you have a license ).

    And I was Joking about being done for exporting hence the smiley.


    I would contact the Airgun license people and ask AirWeaponandLicensingProject@scotland.pnn.police.u k

    And if they do reply please post the reply on here so others will know in the future.

    The receiver of the airgun in Scotland has a valid airgun license.
    He won't be breaking the law as he is able to own them and parcelforce are a carrier by which the goods will be sent within their terms so all looks good
