reaper1064 285 Posted February 5, 2014 Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 Picked up a mint .177 Huntsman Classic today, it has a weirauch silencer and a mountmaster scope, which will be swapped with my Viper. The gun looks like it has never been used. Next is the hunt for a pellet that suits, so advice gladly received. Usually shoot ,22 so a change in style is in order. On a different note was just chatting with the owner of the gun shop and happened to mention I had sent a rifle via parcel force to some one. He tuts and tells me that it was illeagal, face to face only or to RFD. Is he talking crap or the truth. First I have heard of it. 1 Quote Link to post

Rubbish I'm afraid, unless that is of course your rifle is classed as a firearm (i.e over 12 ft/lb) Edited February 5, 2014 by Elliott 1 Quote Link to post

reaper1064 285 Posted February 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 Hi Skot cost me £36 insured to £500. Went Parcel Force 24 and I told them it was an air rifle, pack it well though 'cause even though they had it less than 24 hrs they still managed to damage the packaging. Quote Link to post

reaper1064 285 Posted February 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 Found it as easy as sending a normal parcel mate, like I said I got it there next day. Just make sure you insure it. Quote Link to post
