    Your faced with 2 issues.

    1. Try and get any FAC application processed. I am in Gloucestershire. Not a chance at the moment.

    2. Try and get an account from a wh9lesaler if you dont have a shop or RFD Either

    If selling airguns or silencers and some component parts as a business retail etc you need to be a RFD.

    There also might be a bit of a loophole in the law as well - perhaps someone with a better understanding can expand on it, but I believe you can be an 'Agent' of an existing RFD with little or no checks involved.

    I believe that some RFD's have exploited this loophole and made all of their delivery drivers 'agents' so they legally fulfill the face-to-face only requirement.. since the delivery driver is an 'RFD' he can sell face-to-face at your front door.

    No, unless they are selling tuned airguns. It is all about commercial selling. If you are fixing up someone else's airgun there is no need. No need either if you want to make an airgun for yourself (good luck with that!).

    Just read a BASC page that says you don't need one for fixing airguns.
