Snow Wolf Thompson M1A1
The airsoft gun by Snow Wolf is made of steel, metal and plastic's. The body, barrel and sights are made of metal. The stock, handguard and the pistol grip are made of ABS which imitates wood. The sling mounts and the magazine cover are made of steel. This guarantees high durability of these elements, which undergo the highest strains and are most susceptible to damage.
The airsoft gun is provided with a Hi-Cap magazine with the capacity of 440 BBs. The muzzle velocity of approximately 400 fps allows using the airsoft gun in woodland or for mid-range skirmishes.
The external workmanship and operation of the airsoft gun are simply excellent. The wood imitation feels very comfortable when we hold it, and the blackened metal makes an aesthetic impression. Certainly, this is not an airsoft gun for everyone – it has several drawbacks, however, completely identical with the drawbacks that the real steel had as well: the stock with an excessive drop is sometimes uncomfortable to use, which in turn makes the aiming difficult, the selector lever is far from being intuitive, and the magazine release requires precision – the same goes for the magazine attachment. These, however, are the characteristic features of the real steel equivalent and should not be regarded as drawbacks at all. For, these are only features and solutions, which are characteristic for airsoft guns that base on historical firearms. This airsoft gun is bound to be a real treat for each and every enthusiast enamoured in the U.S. armament from the first half of the twentieth century.

To buy an airsoft weapon in the UK you must have a valid airsoft defence.
This is not a licence, it is basically just proof that you intend to buy an airsoft weapon for use in airsoft.
An airsoft defence could be a UKARA or membership with the British Airsoft Club, and various other forms of defence.
You can only obtain an airsoft defence once you are over the age of 18.
To get an airsoft defence the law is that you should play at least 3 games of airsoft, and that you must have been playing for at least two months.
You can still buy an airsoft gun without a defence, provided you are 18 or older. If you choose to do this we would, by law, two tone (paint in a bright colour) parts of your chosen weapon. This is because an airsoft gun is considered a RIF aka Realistic Imitation Firearm, because they are so close to the real steel, whereas when you paint parts of it in a bright colour it becomes an IF aka Imitation Firearm. The reason being that the bright colours make it look less realistic to the public, and therefor less likely to be mistaken as real, were it to be used for any other purpose than airsoft.
When you order a gun from us you will need to add your defence details in the comments section of the cart. If you do not have a defence you will need to write the colour that you wish to be used for two toning your airsoft weapon.
Here is what's stated in the VCRA (Violent Crime Reduction) Act:
For airsoft skirmishing, the Association of British Airsoft is putting in place arrangements to allow retailers to check that individual purchasers are members of a genuine skirmishing club or site. The key elements of these arrangements are:
1. new players must play at least 3 (three) times in a period of not less than two months before being offered membership
2. membership cards with a photograph and recognised format will be issued for production to retailers
3. A central database will be set up for retailers to cross-check a purchaser’s details
4. member’s entry on the database will be deleted if unused for 12 months.
The defence for airsoft skirmishing can apply to individual players because their purchase of realistic imitation firearms for this purpose is considered part of the “holding” of a skirmishing event.
