Hi all,
Well every day's a school day, new one on me and it will be facinating to see how much this BSA Long Lee Enfield, Air Rifle trainer goes for!
One of only 400 made by BSA prior to 1914...
I ran it past the 'chancellor', but was refused on economic grounds!

It was quite funny as the Police told me I couldn't use 7.62 on my land as it was only rated for 303.
I had to go "right to the top" and explain the difference in measuring the 303 and 762, such that if the same techniques are used the 303 is actually 7.7
In the end they gave me an 'open licence' allowing me to determine what land was suitable for what calibres and any land I shot over did not require a Police inspection before use.
How is one of these classed in the UK, i.e. as an air rifle that any adult, over the age of 18 can buy, or is it classed as a "realistic imitation firearm" with the associated restrictions on who can legally purchase it?Quote:

Unless you love in Scotland, as you need a special licence ... You couldn't make it up!!
You need a license to fart north of the border..
No, farts are the exception to the licensing rule. That's why we have so many wind farms up here. :madsmile:Quote:

You really couldn't make it!!!Quote:

But £3000 is one hell of a lot of money for an old BSA Springer at the end of the day...
