riohog 5,818 Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 providing its under12ft lbs no you need no licence Quote Link to post
dso88 15 Posted April 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 if it was over 12ft/lbs how much would it be and how do you get one thanks Quote Link to post
daniel8822 0 Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 you would need a fac fire arms certificate if it was over the 12ft/lbs Quote Link to post
mattydski 560 Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 if it was over 12ft/lbs how much would it be and how do you get one thanks The emphasis is on you to prove you need one.. You would have to apply for an FAC, have permission to use one on someones land. The cost of the application is £50, you two witnesses to sign to say you are suitable to have one, from positions of good standing in the area. Its a whole load of hassle.. A standard air rifel...as I am sure you know...is quite capeable of taking a rabbit at 30-35 yards..so ask your self..do you need the hastle of an FAC?? The rifle its self may not cost that much more...!! Quote Link to post

Air Arms S200 0 Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 Hi mate, you'll be looking at a Firearms Licence, and there's a topic covering it all by SportingShooter. And the price for a F.A.C is £50. Hope that helps. Quote Link to post
