Air Rifles...

[Watkins]

legal parts easy...over 18 purchase direct from a firearms dealer or over the net can be done but if a trade sale (rather than private) it must be sent to a licensed dealer & you pick it up in person.
As for shooting, what do you want to learn basics for?..pistol. rifle etc. etc.
In the shooting world these air pistols are really just toys .. I know I shouldn't say that! ; but you won't "learn" much from them..better a small accurate air rifle...IMO

Although somewhat useless in the UK, pistol really..not sure why, probably all the US drama my life has been saturated with due to my age.

So as an over 18, I could simply buy that? no license needed?
I'd probably want to start with something like that to learn basic handling and such. Put quite simply the amount of equipment and safe storage in the UK would put anything serious out of my league for some time.

being completely new to any kind of shooting, how would one go about being legal to purchase one of those?
Would be good to just learn the basics with something similar to that.

You don't think a No3 with a very light charge & a bit of dust load might be suitable? Do you do your own loading?.....

got any pics of what the .303 goes into?
i dont think i would even let her use a .410 yet or even a 9mm garden gun
she is not old enough yet shes likely to turn round to ask a question with the muzzle following

Try being on a pistol range with officer cadets.........they're more dangerous than any enemy!
