UKARA help
15 March, 2014, 14:02
Hey guys, i live in a small town called Thurso In the north of Scotland it's about 30 miles from john O'groats. My question to you today is where would the nearest airsoft sight is that i could be registered to use UKARA. I heard that Inverness used to do it but they stopped doing it last year I believe.
the reason i'm asking is due to wanting a Umarex rifle and they don't two tone them, at least not that i know. And i would like to avoid importing a gun from China and breaking the law. Any advice for what i could do?

Re: UKARA help
I've no idea on the site but unless you're the luckiest guy alive there is absolutely no way you will import a rifle into the UK without a defence unfortunately. They check everything.. You'll also need to go to three games in over 2 months to qualify for a ukara registration.

Re: UKARA help
You would probably just have to travel a bit until you have gone enough times to get ukara

That's a good idea actually, or put a wanted ad on here, some one may have one they don't need anymore and that way you wouldn't have to pay full RRP.

Re: UKARA help
Do you pay to play at this site, if so then they should have insurance and as such be able to provide you with a defence to enable you to buy a gun in the UK. UKARA isn't always needed, just a defence.
the site you play at is I believe home to the Combat North Airsoft Team, have you asked any of them what they do?
or just ring Z1 or another retailer if such a thing exists and ask them to order you the gun you want as two-tone....simples

Re: UKARA help
Is the site you play at insured? Can you prove to another your an active airsoft player? If so legally you can buy a rif, ukara is just ONE form of defence.

Re: UKARA help
No, I don't pay to play our games are totally free which is good, we had a Vote at the end of the year and the majority wouldn't pay to get us insured and the rest of us weren going to pay so they could get a free pass.
yeah, We used to be called combat North airsoft but something happened which im allowed to say. so it's Banniskirk battle zone now
I forgot that Z1 have a two tone option, just a shame though haha

Re: UKARA help
You won't be able to get UKARA or any form of defence if you don't have site insurance, only option will be two-tone, you might want to look into insurance though as if there is an accident on site then it could cause all sorts of legal problems for you, your friends and site owner depending on what happens.

Mainly caused by this silly compensation culture we have where everyone has to get compensation for something.
