The rifle or the pistol?

air pistol

most air pistols are good to go. I think you are with the BSA Scorpion.

Not if it's a .177 cause it's doing 600fps+ and considered a restricted .The .22's are 420fps....................No harm in asking though..........Harold

Cant he still import it just like any other restricted firearm importation with the proper paperwork?

Give it a whirl but the UK isn't real handgun friendly.If you like paperwork it will be entertaining no doubt.No harm in checking it out.If it's a .177 I'd have a under 500fps spring installed in the UK before shipping.Less BS in the long run..............Harold I have one in .22 Titan makes an aftermarket spring..........my error I see it's a .22 in the original post...........common sense and Gov't don't belong in the same sentance

Send it back in several parts .No problem exporting parts from the UK but as far as I know no whole guns.....................Harold

Air pistols provided they are under the 6ftlb UK legal limit are not restricted. You need to be at least 17 to possess one in the UK. There are as far as I am aware no restrictions on export of air weapons.
