What's the state of play with this new RIF legislation that's now here in the UK. Can you say buy a PR kit like this one of Spat's ( which i would be sorely tempted to do in time ) and get it through ok ' as long as , ahem, errr, it stays in it's kit form and then you don't turn build the thing and make it look like a RIF?
Just wondering cause I've apparently won this Imperial Toys VP-70 via Doc's lil competition thing so wondering what to do next.
The two parts of Spat's kit that will come under scrutiny are the Thompson lower receiver and the SPAS cage sections.
If the legislation is anything similar to what we have here (and from what I've read it's practically identical) these two sections could be considered components for a replica.
It's a real catch 22 situation- the Pulse Rifle as a completed unit does not resemeble an existing firearm (which should satisfy the legislation that it is not a replica), however broken down certain parts do. In the same breath- the kit probably stands a better chance of getting through disassembled (but don't quote me on this as it is taking a chance at best

).
Safest bet is to contact an official providing pictues of the kit, and ask if it is ok to import.
And I never thought I'd hear myself say this...
But it looks awesome Spat! Very well done! Like Russ said, blows the last Spulse out of the water!
