UK Legal & Site Notes
Gearsets are internal components and do not affect FPS classification. However, your completed rifle must comply with site chronograph limits before deployment. Always test on site and carry documentation if required. Internal upgrades should be performed by competent hands – poor installation can damage the gearbox.
