tricky commercially with VCR act
Anyone know anyone who could thread an air rifle barrel by post?
Hoping I can find a place I can post it to and get it back in a few days to a week or so?
Thanks

Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.
a mate does mine for me.ive had a few services in owners also wanting to have barrels threaded
what gun is it for?
yea posting barrels is ok.buying a specific barrel commercially has to go to a RFD UNLESS its a blank then it can be sent to joe public
only when its for a certain type of gun,say hw8o/air arms s410 etc then the VCR act comes in to force
Surely if you are charging for a service you are trading and should be registered under the VCR act even if its only for working on sub 12 air rifles?
Which is the reason people are no longer advertising/making/selling those fantastic home build carbon mods of several years back.
If you take payment for doing something then it's not a hobby it's a business (that's the HMRC definition) & business rules apply.
But the VCR act allows you to send a part you own to be worked on & then have it sent directly back to you because you already own it, only buying extra parts is covered.
Good deals with these members
NO, not if you're a private individual who is legally entitled to own the item, It's not up to you to check the business doing the work has it's paperwork in order.
Just like the VCR act does not stop private sales being sent direct because it only applies to business sales,
just like it does not effect a foreign business sending direct to your door because it only applies to UK business.
It's a stupid act/law not fit for purpose.

Totally agree, it's about time it was abolished, I think the main reason it was brought in was to mainly make it harder for shooters to obtain the parts/rifles and services they need and so that they just give up the hobby because of the aggro involved, not to make it harder for criminals to obtain weapons, like they say it's supposed to do, because we all know that if a criminal wants something, then they will get it anyway, regardless of any VCR act or other laws.

Far too many rifles to list now, all mainly British but the odd pesky foreigner has snuck in
