So some .20 and .22 cal pellet guns would be classified as a firearm......Well well how does this read to you guys? Sounding a little better I think what do you guys think??   Posted: Sun Dec 27, 2009 9:42 pm rsterne Moderator Joined: 15 Jan 2008 Posts: 2998 Location: Coalmont, BC Quote: If I didn't have a felony I would have been by now.

Get a B-26 and use ammunition that is "standard weight" (ie 14.3 gr.) or heavier and you should be OK.... If they are fussy and insist that it can't even fire lightweight projectiles over 500 fps then you will have to go even less power.... If they go by the advertised velocity, then that's another ballgame entirely.... My guess is that to make it easy on the seller, they go by the advertised velocity.... Basically, you need to find out what the rules are, not just what the law says.... Bob _________________ Dominion Marksman Silver Shield - 5890 x 6000 in 1976, and downhill ever since!

They stated just the projectiles that at .18 and greater with 700 FPS are considered Firearms.   Posted: Sun Dec 27, 2009 10:00 pm rsterne Moderator Joined: 15 Jan 2008 Posts: 2998 Location: Coalmont, BC From Pyramyd Air's website: http://www.pyramydair.com/airguns-shipping-restrictions.html The following are prohibited: Illinois Airguns over 700 fps or calibers over .18 Aurora Foregrips Chicago Airguns Blank guns Blank gun ammo Cook County Foregrips Evergreen Park Slingshots Slingshot ammo & slingshot accessories I don't know if they are right or not.... but that is their policy....

I'm going to goto Gander Mountain tomorrow. I was told they sell them there. I will talk with one of there sales people and find out what the deal is. I think that would be much easier than trying to talk to someone at the police dept. They people at Gander will know I would assume because they have to know what the laws are out here to sell them so now I have to wait another day. I just want answers I thought I was in the clear with my first post about the RWS. Then I came across this law. Oh my well we shall see. Thank you for all you help and putting up with my dang questions.   Posted: Sun Dec 27, 2009 10:47 pm donwalk Veteran Member Joined: 09 Jun 2009 Posts: 247 Location: republik of kaliphornia you're gonna hafta balance speed, power and accuracy... get tins of pellets and start testing... just about the only thing I'd suggest is to avoid wadcutters and the very lite plastic pellets and make sure your scope is airgun approved and SECURE as pointed out, the 350 RWS is a massive springer and it WILL kill scopes. welcome to the world of airgunning...a never ending quest you've just embarked on... _________________ never squat while wearing spurs...will rogers   Posted: Sun Dec 27, 2009 11:05 pm Scrappy Member Joined: 26 Dec 2009 Posts: 47 Location: IL donwalk wrote: you're gonna hafta balance speed, power and accuracy... get tins of pellets and start testing... just about the only thing I'd suggest is to avoid wadcutters and the very lite plastic pellets and make sure your scope is airgun approved and SECURE as pointed out, the 350 RWS is a massive springer and it WILL kill scopes. welcome to the world of airgunning...a never ending quest you've just embarked on... Thanks for the reply but this thread has spun into a ton of problems for myself laws and everything else. So therefore RWS is now out of the question.   Posted: Mon Dec 28, 2009 12:39 am sniper Silver Status Member Joined: 28 Nov 2008 Posts: 3752 Location: Star, Idaho in california my .22 mrod was cash and carry without a receipt. _________________ I believe in gun control, If there's a gun around I want to be controlling it.......   Posted: Mon Dec 28, 2009 12:43 am Scrappy Member Joined: 26 Dec 2009 Posts: 47 Location: IL sniper wrote: in california my .22 mrod was cash and carry without a receipt.
