No. All our firearms are inspected regularly to ensure they are safe to use and we cannot be held responsible for any possible incidents with air rifles/pistols or firearms that we have not checked or maintained ourselves.

Short answer is Yes.
We do not condone or entertain any illegal activity especially with firearms, this is our livelihood as well as our hobby. We fully comply with the relevant UK firearms legislation and we are fully insured to cover our liability should anything untoward happen.

Not with us on our Experiences. UK law does allow many of the rifles to be owned and shot in their origianal calibre or cartridge size but you would have to join a club or find a local club that is having an open day. The law only allows us to run the Experiences using the smaller cartridges.

Short answer is No. 
Handguns and machine guns are generally banned in the UK.

Real firearms. All our rifles are live fire ‘real’ firearms. They are adapted or built to fire the .22 Long Rifle (.22LR) cartridge making the experience UK legal.
