Airtech regged regal - my experience and not impressed at all

[Lucky Luciano]

Just a thought, did you send the mag in the gun or loose in the packaging? If it was loose it may have been thrown away with the packaging by mistake.

The action, each mod and mag were wrapped independently in bubble wrap and taped and then all wrapped together in one package and taped with the last bit of bubble wrap I had. These were placed in a grey plastic tube, the type used for contracting work,6 inch diameter, both ends had double thick cardboard ends with thick foam at each end. To stop any movement in the tube I padded it internally with old magazine pages. The end sections were then taped with gorilla tape over the top and around the ends

Fair enough mate. Like I said, just a thought, stranger things have happened.

Hope you get it sorted.

There you have it, he missed it, thought it was bubble wrap or packaging and binned it.... I would have put the magazine in the action....

Which is illegal if you transport or post it.

Only if the magazine is loaded and only a fool would put a loaded magazine in a gun and post it. If the magazine is empty no offence has been committed as the gun is not loaded!

Wrong you should read the law on magazine airguns

Many air guns have multishot magazines. The Firearms Act 1968 states that if you
have a magazine fitted to your airgun it is deemed to be loaded irrespective of
whether the magazine contains ammunition or not. Additionally, if a magazine
contains any ammunition (one pellet or more) the gun is deemed to be loaded even if
the magazine is not fitted to the gun. Never have in your possession a magazine
that is even partially loaded when not on your own property, a recognised club or
land where you have permission to shoot and never transport your air gun with an
empty magazine fitted. Despite the fact that there may be several feet between the
magazine and your air gun, it is still deemed to be loaded as in law the magazine is
considered to be part of the gun and you will face prosecution. There no defence in
law to this charge.

Just read this bit!

(3)This section applies to every firearm except—

[F1(a)a shot gun within the meaning of this Act, that is to say a smooth-bore gun (not being an air gun) which—

(i)has a barrel not less than 24 inches in length and does not have any barrel with a bore exceeding 2 inches in diameter;

(ii)either has no magazine or has a non-detachable magazine incapable of holding more than two cartridges; and

(iii)is not a revolver gun; and]

(b)an air weapon (that is to say, an air rifle, air gun or air pistol [F2which does not fall within section 5(1) and which is] not of a type declared by rules made by the Secretary of State under section 53 of this Act to be specially dangerous).

Under 12 ft lb, so you can put the magazine in the gun. Now as it is a pcp it should be transported devoid of air too, so it should also be in a condition which means it cannot be fired!

Sorry you can not have a empty mag in a gun unless you are on your ground or club you are shooting at

[Airsporter1st]

There you have it, he missed it, thought it was bubble wrap or packaging and binned it.... I would have put the magazine in the action....

So does the possibility that he "missed it" absolve him of full, or even 50% of the responsibility for losing an item which he reportedly specifically requested be sent?

Not saying it absolves him, just explains how the hell it happened though!

[Inspector 71]

You lads should get out shooting or walking instead of venting foul air on here.

If I was Carl, I'd stump up half for a replacement mag and be done with it.

I'm off to the pub...

I have already offered that but he choses to continue the slagging off. he is under the impression all this is going to shut me down. what he does not realize is i are just about to open the largest shooting range in Shropshire. along with a shop that will be stocking most pcp rifles made. i own a engineering company nothing to do with rifles. and he thinks bollocks over a mag is going to shut me down.. dream on he has been given options i will go half way in a mag. but why should i do that. your all saying he sent it. where is the proof. there isn't any. if it was wrapped up that well looking like rubbish then its very possible it could have been mistaken as rubbish. if your going to wrap something up that's important then it should be in a envelope or something so it cannot be mistaken as packing. he has also been given the option i will revert the rifle back to as it was standard give him a refund and he can go elsewhere,
