    It's not a Replica Imitation Firearm (RIF) so doesn't need to be silly colours

    My walther LPM1 is a firearm even if it doesn't need a license and the "hammerli" is a fair copy of it so it could be considered a realistic imitation firearm.

    Understand what you are saying- but in any event I ordered one with a Blue cylinder so it doesn't look like a black gun!

    It'll be here in a few days- I hope!

    Did you order a AP5 or the one from Hong Kong?

    Best of luck with it Tony, I hope it's a good one. I would be gutted if I had posted a link to something not very good!

    I really hope you receive it but I have some reservations. It is an airsoft pistol so you will need to provide a defence under the terms of the VCRA. You'll also be liable for import duty & VAT. There is also the possibility that HMRC will confiscate it, then press charges for attempting to import a RIF. Like I said, I hope yours will get through.

    Been held in customs since the 22nd (only took 3 days to get there which is impressive) Checked the tracker a couple of hours ago and it's been released to the 'inward office', so presumably Parcel Force. Just wait- I expect I'll get a demand for import duty, vat and 'handling' next thing

    I'll let you know when I know more!
