Licence free, What is an air rifle, What is a pistol?

[angrybear]

In sect 1 "handguns" are illegal so we have "long barrelled pistols" to make the 300/600 rule.

in sub 12fpe air rifles must be over 600mm & shoot from the shoulder, or have a min 300mm barrel, any take down or folding stock air rifle must have a lock to prevent it shooting without the stock in place or if it can shoot in "pistol" configuration it must be sub 6fpe.

There is no such thing as a section 1 air pistol, if over 6fpe it's sec 5 prohibited.

so if your cut down air rifle is still over 600mm & has it's shoulder stock it's still legal.
