This applies to anyone operating a miniature rifle range.

The problem is finding an RFD who will supply these items to someone without any paperwork.

No it isn't. The estate rifle rule is s16 Firearms (Amendment) Act 1988. S11(1) Firearms Act 1968 is to allow gun bearers to carry the thing without a ticket. Useful for gainful employment of small children at Bisley.

You are quite right.
