Used products

Yes. Every used airgun, accessory, or firearm sold in our "Used Products" section complies with UK legislation. Firearms and airguns may require licensing depending on type and power. Solware ensures every used product sold via our platform or through transfer by RFD partners is properly checked for legality. Whether it’s a used air rifle, shotgun, or optic, we verify eligibility and safe use before offering it for sale. Buying from Solware means you can trust the item meets legal standards, giving you confidence in both safety and peace of mind.

You can browse and reserve used products online. However, UK law requires that firearms and airguns be transferred in person through a Registered Firearms Dealer (RFD), even if purchased online. At checkout, Solware arranges delivery of the used item directly to your chosen RFD, where you’ll complete the handover. This guarantees compliance while maintaining convenience. Once the transaction is finalised in person, you’ll leave with the firearm or airgun in hand—legally and securely. This hybrid model combines the ease of online shopping with the safeguards of responsible transfer.

Each used product undergoes a rigorous inspection by our qualified firearms professionals. We check for safe functionality, power compliance, and overall condition, including bore integrity, action smoothness, and sight alignment. Worn components are noted, and if necessary, replaced or repaired. Any used product we sell—be it a rifle, shotgun, scope, or accessory—is accompanied by a transparent condition report, so you know exactly what you're buying. We uphold high resale standards so you can purchase confidently without surprises.

Buying used products from Solware offers excellent value and access to rare or discontinued models. You can find top-quality air rifles, scopes, or training gear at lower prices, while still benefiting from our thorough inspection and legal compliance checks. It’s a smart option if you're seeking specific models no longer in production or want to upgrade affordably. Plus, every purchase is backed by our reputation and post-sale support—giving you the assurance you’d expect from a brand-new product, with added savings.

Just because a product is pre-owned, doesn’t mean it doesn’t come with support. Solware provides the same expert advice, warranty evaluation, and accessory sourcing for used products as with new ones. If you need help adjusting your used airgun, zeroing a scope, or sourcing replacement parts, our team is here to advise. We aim to extend your experience post-purchase—whether your used item serves for practical use or as a collectible—so it remains reliable and enjoyable.

Transparency is a cornerstone of our used products service. Each item listing includes clear, high-resolution photos and a detailed, honest description of its condition and functionality. Any signs of wear or required servicing are clearly highlighted. If uncertain, on-location visits are welcomed—so you can inspect the item firsthand before committing. We strive for full clarity and trust in every used product sale, empowering you to make informed, confident buying decisions.
