StretchWinters Posted February 14, 2016 Posted February 14, 2016 Hello all sorry if this has been asked before feel free to link it or if I'm being completely stupid. I have a two tone Cm18 and want to spray it black but don't know if I can till I complete my UKARA defence? Thanks, Stretch

Twice19 Posted February 14, 2016 Posted February 14, 2016 You need to wait until you have UKARA; because you will be manufacturing a RIF. If you were to use some Scrim Netting to camo it up, that is fine as long as you only do it when your on site (camo it when you get there, take it off before you leave). Once you have UKARA; spray away :-)
Sacarathe Posted February 14, 2016 Posted February 14, 2016 You need to wait until you have UKARA; because you will be manufacturing a RIF. I thought this was true for the longest time. ><
StretchWinters Posted February 14, 2016 Author Posted February 14, 2016 I thought this was true for the longest time. >< Shame the UKARA website is gone. That mean i can? Have you already played? Yeah played a couple of games and got a load more coming up.
Sacarathe Posted February 14, 2016 Posted February 14, 2016 That mean i can? No. It's just that UKARA doesn't really mean anything. /jaded https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/the-violent-crime-reduction-act-2006-commencement-no-3-order-2007-firearms-measures Notice how this page rarely mentions manufacturing and airsoft together (in the context of the defence of "permitted activities"), whereas airsoft and purchasing frequently together.
StretchWinters Posted February 14, 2016 Author Posted February 14, 2016 From what I can gather as long as it's for the purpose of airsoft skirmish it is aloud to be modifyed to become a RIF
Supporters Sitting Duck Posted February 14, 2016 Supporters Posted February 14, 2016 Another ukara vcra war on the horizon......... I think technically you can't remanufacture an IF into a RIF somewhere in the vcra it states that but does not clearly state that even if you have a defense/ukara you are allowed to turn an IF into RIF yeah kind of sounds daft but sure it reads something like that in there pages and pages etc...... so we have various posts/wars on the exact word for wording of the vcra how this will all be policed and implemented remains open for question Plus most sites won't care too much if you posses a RIF or a repainted IF you could have obtained the gun before 2007 or been gifted it even if you are u18 From a Law point of view - you are not allowed to remanufacture but where this may lead to if you have a defense - ukara is only one type of defense blah blah blah if you are a regular skirmisher then you have a sort of defense so you have some sort of reason to possess a RIF - how valid this is remains open for questioning but all the same you would have a reason or defense to be in possesion of a RIF Another factor is if the prosecution could prove that YOU actually remanufactured it or did the 2-tone ahem wear off so to speak..... The easiest answer is cover with tape at your site remove tape when you leave = IF still it - the vcra is not quite so crystal clear in every detail and can be read a different way or interpreted slightly differently I will sate right here and now I myself may have got it so very very wrong and in no way am I saying yes it will be fine It is down to you to determine exactly where you stand on a legal side of things.... I'm no barrister - no way.... The most important thing above all else is to ensure that don't be a dick drawing attention to yourself gun in bag and act responsibly on & off the field - thus drawing little attention to yourself The police tbh - won't really give a toss as long as you ain't a dick and can prove your defense/ukara/skirmish site etc... (most of them won't even know the full vcra and where airsoft fits in anyway) As to spraying the gun - keep the 2-tone parts well away from Fairy Power Spray as this can remove or erode the paint away (so I am lead to think) If after all this we have have another ukara/vcra bloodbath - just remember, YOU started it
StretchWinters Posted February 14, 2016 Author Posted February 14, 2016 If after all this we have have another ukara/vcra bloodbath - just remember, YOU started it Thanks for the advice as always and i will try and stay away from the drama I think as with anything, its open to interpretation, don't be a dick and take ownership haha Sitting Duck 1
