I'm just asking out of curiosity: Would say an M16A2 with White stock and foregrip be a RIF or not?

I would have to say it would be seen similair to having deserty colours. The white could be seen as maybe artic camouflage? If i'm correct the law states the colours that are allowed to be used. I wouldnt have though that white classes as "brightly coloured" in the eyes of the law on this one.

I'm just asking out of curiosity: Would say an M16A2 with White stock and foregrip be a RIF or not? Hope this helps.. QUOTE (HO Cirrurcular) 25. Subsection 4 gives the Secretary of State a power to make regulations specifying dimensions and colours that will be regarded as unrealistic. This is designed to provide business with a degree of certainty over what they can trade in. The aforementioned Violent Crime Reduction Act 2006 (Realistic Imitation Firearms) Regulations 2007 specify the following dimensions and colours: a height of 38mm and a length of 70mm. An imitation firearm with dimensions less than this is to be regarded as unrealistic transparent bright red bright orange bright blue bright yellow bright green bright pink bright purple 26. An imitation firearm whose principal colour is not one of those listed in the regulations does not automatically fall to be regarded as realistic, although it is more likely that will be the case. In these circumstances, the general test of whether it is distinguishable from a real firearm, taking into account its size, colour etc, should be applied. It is worth keeping in mind that the intention behind this measure is to stop the supply of imitations which look so realistic that they are being used by criminals to threaten and intimidate their victims. |
