does anyone know if it's illegal to import replica guns?

specifically something like a colt 45 peacemaker(cowboy gun)?

i've had a look on google but can only find news articles about a proposed change in the law banning replica imports. anyone know if this went through or what the deal is in general? or if you know where you can get cheap replica pistols in the uk that would be cool too.

i'm not a gun nut or anything, i just like cowboys.

Is that any use? It says on the front page of the site that all their stuff is legal, so I'd assume that certain kinds of replicas would be okay.

I wouldn't risk importing anything - HMRC have thepower of discretion and although it might be legal, you wouldn't want them potentially seizing it and then investigating you for it as a result.

ha, i was just about to post a message saying i'd found a site called battle orders which seem to do EVERYTHING! quite a cool shop actually, even does limited edition star wars weapons.

they also have some quite scary looking guns and swords. one thing i would never buy is a big sword. i wouldn't trust myself not to get really drunk and make like a ninja or something and take someones eye out by accident.

i'd be more worried about chopping various limbs off by mistake than poking them in the eye with a sword when drunk, but whatever :p

Do you not require some kind of licence to own a big sword? o_O
