Hello All,
Yes I'm new here and fairly new to modern airguns. Please be kind if I'm posting in the wrong area but general discussion area seemed right for the question I'm going to pose.
For those that don't want to read through the entire text here........Why would you need an FFL (Federal Firearms License) to purchase a piston seal for an airgun?
I have a 2012 Gamo Hornet break barrel that is about as accurate as a feather falling from 20K feet. After ordering a new airgun I decided I would tinker with it a bit replace the breech seal and piston ram seal. After having extreme trouble trying to figure out the right seals I contacted Gamo directly to ask about a part number for each.
Here is the response I received........
Thank you for reaching out to GAMO. The breach seal is 22060. The piston seal cannot be purchased without and FFL.
Thank you,

What am I missing here, I wasn't aware that airguns were regulated in any manner other than 18 years of age restriction for purchase and use.
Thank you in advance for the help and understanding with this.
