Since October 2007 you can only buy a realistic imitation firearm (one that looks like a real gun i.e. black, tan, gold, silver) if you meet one of the following conditions:

• You have a current UKARA membership
• You have a current UKAPA membership
• You are a member of a fully insured skirmish site
• You are a member of a properly insured historical re-enactment group or society
• You are a film, television or theatre production company
• You are (or are acting on behalf of) a museum
• You are a Crown Servant in pursuance of your Crown duties

You will be required to select one of the above at checkout plus supply relevant information such as a membership number or documentation to confirm you meet the criteria.

If you cannot meet any of these criteria, you can still buy an imitation firearm, one which PRINCIPLE COLOUR is significantly different from that of a real firearm i.e. bright orange, green, blue etc.

If a black gun (RIF) is ordered by mistake, a £20 handling fee will be charged before a refund is issued. No charge will be added if an alternative two-tone gun is supplied.
