IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING TURKISH BLANK FIRE TOP VENTING GUNS

It is against the law for us to Sell, Buy, or Exchange these guns as they have now been classified as Prohibited Weapons in the UK. This is a recent change in the law as of 24th October 2024.

This situation is beyond our control. This is due to findings by the National Crime Agency found that they could be converted to fire a projectile and that there has been 4 Murders attributed to the Turkish Firearms being Converted. These Brands include: Blow, Retay, Ekol, and Ceonic. 

There will be an Amnesty running 3rd to 28th February 2025 but if you feel you need to dispose of them earlier then PLEASE take them to your nearest Police Station as we CAN'T dispose of them for you.

More information can be found here:  Amnesty to be held for blank firing guns popular with organised criminals - National Crime Agency

Normal Opening Hours
Monday to Saturday 10:00am to 5:00pm
