Delivery

Buying your air rifle or air pistol from us

Since the introduction of the VCR bill in October 2007 all air rifles, air pistols and component parts must be sold face-to-face by a Registered Firearms Dealer (RFD). To enable you to buy your air rifle, air pistol or component part from us via our website we offer an RFD Delivery Service where we will personally deliver your order to you on a face-to-face basis. Alternatively you can collect from us in person.

Delivery of orders that contain Airguns or component parts

Since the introduction of the VCR bill in October 2007 any persons selling air weapons by way of trade or business must be a Registered Firearms Dealer (RFD). As Registered Firearms Dealers we can personally deliver your air rifle or air pistol to you on a face-to-face basis. Once we receive your airgun order for home delivery, we will contact you to arrange a mutually convenient time for us to deliver your airgun to you at home. We charge £19.95 to deliver and cover East Sussex, West Sussex, Kent, Surrey and Hampshire only.

Once we arrive at your home, you will need to provide us with proof of age (You must be 18 years or over to purchase air weapons in the UK) We will only accept proof of age in either drivers licence or passport formats. Please note, we will need to see both parts of your drivers licence, not just the card. We will also ask you to complete and sign a declaration stating that you are aged 18 years or over. Only when you have provided us with the relevant information and proved your age, will we hand over any goods and claim your payment. The information you provide will be recorded in our Statutory Firearms Register along with details of your purchase. This is a legal requirement and will be made available to the relevant authorities if legally required.

If for any reason we are unable to complete the sale of your air rifle or air pistol due to inadequate proof of age or you are simply not home when we arrive to deliver, your £19.95 delivery fee will still be taken and your air rifle or air pistol taken away. If a redelivery date is required you will be liable for a further £19.95 delivery fee.

In the event that you need to send your airgun back to us, it is your responsibility to securely do so. We are legally allowed to then courier it back to you after any repairs or servicing etc have been carried out.
