i think you're ok as long as its not live fire or a replica of something that is. you even have to have some kind of UKARA licence for bb guns now unless they are 2 tone in colour :( i started to get a nice collection of them till the law changed

£400 is very reasonable. That rig I said sold for £500 didn't come with a scope either. It came with an out of date gas bottle (which costs £30-50 to get retested) and no stirrup pump.

Any one interested in air rifles should take a look at this page http://www.airgunbbs.com/forums/showthread.php?t=244906&highlight=legal+muzzle+velocity&page=2

It really isn't very straight forwards at all. It appears to me that the type and weight of pellets you use can affect the speed of the pellet. If they take the gun for testing it appears that they test the speed of the pellet not how much air pressure its running at.

This particular air rifle is adjustable so before you use it anywhere you may get seen I would have it tested just to be on the safe side. I'd also ensure that the adjuster is not easily accessible because if it is and its not set up with anti-tamper measures it can be set to its highest setting by any investigating body to test it and they will apply the law at that setting (there's a case in Leeds court now where they've done just that).
