Anyone in the UK? Question about buying components///

[Afy]

Is it legal to buy bullets and brass without a license?

Just curiosity at this stage. Seems to be a wider selection available than in France.

Afy,

You can buy as much brass as you wish.

You can buy as many non-expanding bullets as you wish.

For expanding bullets, you must show authority on your Firearms Certificate (FAC).

You must show your FAC to buy primers.

You do not need to show anything to buy propellant (smokeless powder).

You need a special license to buy black powder.

I should add that expanding bullets and primers and black powder must be purchased "face -to - face". Mail order is OK for all others.

I am not sure, but it is possible that a mail order company would be able to send you expanding bullets as the restriction only applies to people living in the UK. Just another one of our stupid laws!

I currently am in London. And do not have a UK license.

I was planning on buying the bullets and brass here, and then carrying it across on the Eurostar.

"I was planning on buying the bullets and brass here, and then carrying it across on the Eurostar".

I have never done this, but as far as I know it breaks no law.

Bonne chance!

Might not break any laws but might brake your back. My last bullet order was over 200lbs.

I dont quite buy those many bullets. Maybe because all my weapons currently are bolt actions.
