For clarity this is an airpistol going from Kent to Durham
I've never had to specify that. Sent lots of air pistols RMSD, last one a month ago. I declared it correctly as a "low powered air pistol". I'd come prepared with a printout of RM's restricted goods leaflet just in case, but after that second's pause from the person behind the desk, during which you draw the metaphorical deep breath, there was no issue. There's always the risk if you get a new person who doesn't know the score, which is why it helps to go able to quote chapter and verse.
The only real issue is the size limits which rule out most air rifles, leaving PF48 the only option and under that service airguns don't qualify for enhanced compensation.
