In England and Wales, you do not need a licence to own or use an air rifle, as long as it meets legal power limits: 12 ft-lbs for air rifles and 6 ft-lbs for air pistols. However, in Scotland and Northern Ireland, you are required to have an air weapon certificate or a firearms certificate, even for lower-powered air rifles.
It is essential to understand local laws, as there are strict regulations around the ownership, and use of air rifles, including age restrictions and where they can be used. Always ensure you comply with these laws to avoid legal consequences.
If you have any questions contact our knowledge team on, sales@francislovel.com or call 01993 864 949. We’re available Tuesday to Saturday from 09:00 to 17:30, excluding bank holidays.

A standard service for a well-maintained firearm typically takes up to one week, depending on availability. However, repair times can range from two weeks to over a month, depending on the extent of the damage and the availability of our gunmakers. Each job is unique and requires thorough processes to ensure the gun is safe and functional.
