pop into the local feds - they,ll tell you - I know this for sure , cos I nearly got gripped using one......
don't think there are any laws to be honest.
now obviously if your buying a shotgun or a rifle then there are laws. but there'l be a legal limit on high powered Co2 rifles, like 12ft/lb or something
i know that the limit was always 12ft/lb but i have no idea if it's changed. I'd guess not or there would have been something in the press about it.

air rifle law!
anything over10Lb will need licensing from july 2003!,
they have to be over 3ft long, no pistols,
and have yellow or red painted barrel tips!
must have bear catches, and
break barrel or underrun
no bolt cocking!

What happens if i have an old one that i dont think is 3ft long, hast got a yellow or red end etc...Dont think its as powerful as a gas one. its a spring powered but got a high powered spring so the man in the shop told me when he replaced it. Oxbow rings a bell......

some pikey has really done your head in recently
i think the laws a due a change and it wont be long before you need a licence for any means of fire arms.
so get your new one asap.
