Want to buy a realistic-looking black airsoft gun (RIF) from onlyBBguns? Because these guns look so real, UK law (the VCRA Act) requires you to have a valid reason, called a "defence," to own one. Essentially, you need to prove you're buying it for airsoft skirmishing (the sport itself), not for any other purpose.
Here's how you can demonstrate your defence to onlyBBguns and buy a black airsoft gun:
Show proof of skirmishing: Gather evidence like photos and videos from airsoft games you've participated in. These should clearly show you actively involved in skirmishing, demonstrating your intent to use the gun for the sport.
Become a registered skirmisher: The easiest way to prove your defence is by joining a recognized airsoft association and getting a membership card. The most common one in the UK is UKARA. This registration confirms you're a legitimate airsoft player.
Don't have either of those? No problem! You can still buy the airsoft gun. onlyBBguns can paint it in a two-tone colour scheme. This means part of the gun will be sprayed a bright, non-realistic colour. This makes the gun a "non-realistic imitation firearm" and avoids the restrictions of the VCRA Act. Anyone over 18 can legally buy a two-tone airsoft gun.

Platform: Bolt Action Spring (Mosin-Nagant M1938)
Construction: Real Wood Stock / Metal Alloy Barrel & Receiver
The M1938 Mosin Nagant Carbine was a vital evolution of the legendary Russian bolt-action rifle, designed for non-frontline troops and those requiring a more compact weapon.The S&T M1938 Carbine (STSPG20CRW) captures every detail of this historical icon, combining a magnificent Real Wood Stock with the modern reliability of a spring-powered airsoft system.
Authentic Wood and Metal Craftsmanship
This rifle is a masterpiece of historical replication, featuring a stunning, one-piece real wood stock that provides the authentic weight and balance of the original carbine.The metal components, including the outer barrel, receiver, and bolt assembly, are finished to a high standard to ensure durability and a realistic metallic sheen. The bolt cycles with a satisfying mechanical feel, staying true to the rugged nature of the original Mosin Nagant.
Maneuverability and Milsim Utility
As the CARBINE variant, this model is significantly shorter than the standard infantry rifle, making it much more agile during fast-paced movement or in confined spaces. For shooters preferring iron sights, the rifle retains the classic sights, which are adjustable for elevation. The compact nature of the M1938 makes it an ideal choice for WWII-era Russian loadouts where mobility is key.
Reliable Spring Performance
Underneath its historical exterior, the S&T M1938 utilizes a modernized spring-powered internal system. This provides several advantages for players:
Weather Resistance: The simple spring-powered mechanism ensures consistent performance regardless of temperature, unlike gas-powered alternatives.
Ease of Maintenance: Minimal moving parts make it a reliable choice for long-term use and easy field maintenance.
Field Ready Velocity: Delivers a competitive muzzle velocity suitable for sniper or scout roles on the airsoft field.
Tactical Role and Historical Value
The S&T M1938 Mosin Nagant Carbine is the ultimate choice for WWII Milsim players and historical re-enactors. Its shorter profile makes it a formidable choice for various roles on the field without sacrificing the classic aesthetics of the Mosin platform. Whether you are a dedicated collector or a field player, the S&T M1938 delivers an elite blend of craftsmanship and performance.

Two tone
We can two tone any weapon we sell at Bespoke Airsoft. The purpose for two toning is if you do not hold a valid defense under the Violent Crimes Reduction Act (VCRA, 2006) which is to prevent the misuse of Replica Weapons, which applies in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
The gun will be sprayed 51% in a bright/primary color (we do only blue, green and red currently). The process of two toning currently runs at 2 working days depending on Drying Time, which is effected by Ambient Temperature and Weather. and currently no express delivery is available for this even if you select it at checkout.
1. What is a BB gun used for? BB guns are mostly used for practice shooting and training. The stronger ones (i.e. Air Rifles) can also control pests or hunt small animals.
2. Do you need a Licence in the UK for a BB gun? No, you don't need a licence for a BB gun in the UK, but there are rules. The BB Gun needs to be in two colours; one has to be a primary. All our guns are on the website as per default.
3. Is a BB gun a good weapon? BB guns, despite sometimes being seen as toys, can be dangerous. They fire pellets at high speeds and can cause serious harm, or even be deadly in some situations.
4. Can you shoot BB guns in public in the UK without a Firearm license? BB guns in the UK navigate a legal grey area. While certain models, notably low-power 'soft air' types, typically evade classification as section 1 firearms, more potent versions may require a valid firearms certificate to avoid legal repercussions.
5. Can you shoot a BB gun in your garden? You can use a BB gun in your garden under UK law, but you have to ensure the pellets don't go into your neighbour's yard, plot or land. If they do and you don't have permission, it's against the law.
6. Which UK law am I breaking if the pellets go into my neighbour's law without permission? If your BB gun pellets go into your neighbour's yard without permission, you're breaking UK laws. Specifically, the 1968 Firearms Act and possibly the 2003 Anti-Social Behaviour Act, because you may be causing your neighbours trouble or worry.
