    the rifle's ME is 28 ft lbs so an fac is required to purchase it.

    Shame its FAC rated - I was just looking at one yesterday, my wallet is still aching. Whoever gets it gets a bargain!

    If I remember correctly can the pressure in the gas ram of the theoben range not be reduced to make it sub 12ft/lb? Explaining this to your FLO could be tricky I suppose but could make is more saleable to more people. Superb rifle though. I would 'ave it if it were sub 12 ft/lbs. A bargain for someone either way.

    Would you consider shipping to EU?

    (We don't have any limitations on air rifle power here. Currently have a BSA Airsporter in .22, a super little gun, and a Hatsan FAC in .177, which will be going in the bin once I replace it with another higher power unit)

    Im afraid once you have registered a gun and added to FAC it cannot be returned to NON FAC

    I think if it was originally made as a Non FAC and put up to FAC it can be reduced to Non FAC again (may need at least a RFD )
    however if it was made from New as FAC then no not technically
    however if you send it to a FAC manufacturer ie Theoben or a custom Shop . in this case it could be, as they technically destroy the FAC gun and make a new Non FAC ie change the Serial no etc.
    not a cheap option

    dunno about shipping to EU try TAL Arms in bournemouth 01202 47 30 30

    If you haven't already tried this the airgunbbs has an FAC sales section. It would be worth a go.

    Oh, and you're not asking enough at £200!

    Good luck with the sale

    There is a thread here, http://forums.pigeonwatch.co.uk/foru...ded&pid=555521 , from someone selling an Eliminator that had been taken down to sub 12 ft/lbs and taken off FAC, it doesn't say how it was done, but he was asking £550 for it.
