aaronpigeonplucker 32 Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 bring it to a gunsmith, they can tune it down for you, or you could get FAC Quote Link to post
Big bald beautiful 1,231 Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 depends on the gun A lot of new ones have anti tamper fitted so it will want sending back to the makers or your warranty is void Quote Link to post
clubshot 22 Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 All Uk Made and Sold Gun's are currently restricted to being Sub 12FP And Sealed Most are firing around 10.5FP with Standard Pellets Joys of Air Gun's is that they are greatly effected by weather and which pellets they Use A 11.5 in the winter could exceed Sub 12FP of a hot Day As Gun's are Factory Sealed it would have to go back to Factory And cost you Money...............

iguanaman2442 0 Posted February 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 Thank you very much. I have now decided againts getting that gun anyway as i thought it maywell just cause more trouble and cost me more than its worth. Cheers Rob Quote Link to post
The Caretaker 0 Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 It's best you didn't buy it anyway as the fact that you owned it would have been breaking the law even if you intended to get it chrono'd and de-tuned you have to have a FAC to buy a over powered rifle so the answer should have been. DON'T buy it! There are millions of legal air rifles out there so why buy one that could have get you 6 months in the knick and a £5000 fine? But you didn't get it so all's well Quote Link to post

clubshot 22 Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Often Read Shooters want the most highest possible Powered Guns Remember when @ 26th Middlesex - Supertens was wideley used Many used to have accuracy problems On checking found they was running hot On getting them reduced down Shooters found they was far more accurate and consitant BOB/R Quote Link to post
