Update on the use and ownership of Paintball markers.

Since our statement on 19th January 2024 and subsequent update on 24th January 2024, we have had a lot of UKPSF members bring up certain aspects of the law. As we are not experts in firearms legislation and do not claim to be, we decided to get further advice from a firearms barrister to seek further clarification on the questions raised.

UKPSF Member Marker Registration

 

One of the new features on the UKPSF.com web site for members is marker registration. If you log into your profile you will see the ‘Register A Marker’ button in blue where you can register as many marker as you would like. Currently there are 3 options…. Owned, Scrapped or Stolen. At the moment this feature is for your own use only. We hope, at some point, to add in more functionality to this feature but this will take time and money to develop. So watch this space but don’t hold your breath. 

For now it’s great to log your markers on here. We know of people that have had markers stolen or ‘lost’ and when asked for the serial number that had no clue, so the chance of getting these markers back is pretty slim. So get onto your UKPSF Member Profile and register your markers… 

It’s FREE with Membership!
