As I understand it yes, there is a special classification for an 'RFD' that deals only in non-FAC airguns.

People who have been there focus on the fundamentals. People who sit at keyboards all day focus on the trivial and inane.

Yes, because they still have to comply with the legislation regarding refusal to sell to people with previous recorded offences, keeping names and addresses etc. We used to have a dealer in Crewe who didn't even possess a chronograph, so that always concerned me slightly.

You also need to have an RFD if you want to sell or manufacture silencers.
That's because an Air Weapon is defined in law as a Firearm - and curiously, so is a Silencer, so you need to be a Registered Firearms Dealer to sell them by way of trade or business. ( 2nd hand private sales are exempt from that )

my mate was an rfd for sub 12 airguns only purely for buying in parts covered by the vcr act for the custom guns he made

If you have not got an RFD none of the wholesale trade will deal with you
I use to be able to get pellets and consumables but wasn't allowed sub 12ft air weapons as didn't have RFD from a local warehouse

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.
