I'll happily be corrected, but I personally have never heard of anyone being done for having an over the limit air rifle who wasn't already doing something nefarious (poaching or illegally converting). The one example of that I can remember was 25 years ago and that was a bloke who made a cottage industry out of turning out 20-24ft/lb HW80s.
Chris is right you know, ive heard stories where chaps have been cought with illegal handguns that only got 2-3 years max.
if a case of someone cought with an air gun a few ft/lb over ever even went to the court, the judge would probably laugh his head off.
