Posting an air rifle ? Help required

FFS.

To the OP. Why ask the f'ing question and then ignore the info others have given in good faith? Do a search next time and you will see it has been done thousands of times...

PF48 do not xray anything that is posted in AND delivered to the mainland UK, thats mainland which means not an island... hence the comment about pressure vessels can and do get delivered if you do it right.

Guys, I'm an ex postmaster of 10 years experience and work 3 days a week in my local post office as a retirement job. You come along with your low powered ie non-FAC airgun suitably wrapped and ask me to post it. I ask 'what's in the package?' and you say, 'it's a low powered airgun'. That's OK for me because it's allowed. I then send it off by by Parcelforce 48. Simples! I've done this for customers and my own packages many times and never had a problem because that's how it is. I simply don't understand the confusion and difficulty over this.

Problems can occur if it is a PCP but the rules are clear. Pressure gessels are prohibited whether full or empty. No argument. However if the customer tells me the valve has been unscrewed and separated from the cylinder, then it is no longer capable of being pressurised and OK to post.

I assume this what you mean by doing it right?

Yes you can post PF48 within the UK.

Print off their own T&Cs ('cos they often don't know themselves) and tell them what's in the parcel.

They put a "Restricted" sticker on the package and no issues.

Seemples!
