jim4244 Posted November 21, 2023 Posted November 21, 2023 (edited) I've been lurking around reading the threads on the forum with interest. I'm pushing retirement these days but in a previous life carried and shot many different types of real weapon systems/firearms and now am thinking of using RIF's as wall hangers in my study. Deacts are expensive these days and the legislation grows tighter by the year. I like the GBB pistols and rifles that are available as you can actually shoot a few targets in the back garden without upsetting too many people and have a bit of in the shoulder recoil. The ability to go full auto is a nice feature too.... Looking to pick up a M4 to begin with and may (if my knees, ankles, back and shoulders allow) nip down to my local skirmish site.

EDcase Posted November 21, 2023 Posted November 21, 2023 Welcome ? Yeah, they are more fun than deacts for sure. You can play at the pace that suits you so its not all rushing around. Shamal and Rogerborg 2
Colin Allen Posted November 21, 2023 Posted November 21, 2023 Welcome to the site. Please do give your local site a try; I am 60 and still play at least twice a month and know a couple of even more ancient players. It is a great hobby. As you are probably aware, in order for a seller to sell you a RIF (ie: a gun that is not two-toned) you need to demonstrate to them that you are going to use it for a legitimate purpose; the most common way of doing this is by getting a UKARA registration. You can do this by playing a minimum of three times in no less than 56 days at the same site; they can then put you on the UKARA database and might charge you a "membership fee" for the privilege.

Just managed to pick up a HK416 Gen 3 with a few spare magazines. Should be with me at the weekend. Let the mayhem commence! Jim
