The Snowpeak AP1000 takes the lean, mobile DNA of the AP900 and throws it into a bench rest gym routine. The result is a rifle that keeps the same tactical folding chassis and regulated consistency but swaps the AP900’s backpack friendly vibe for a longer barrel, a bigger cylinder and a shot count that suits shooters who stay put. If the AP900 is for covering ridgelines and scrambling up rocks, the AP1000 is for the shooter who prefers a stable hide, a vehicle setup or a fixed position where reach and consistency matter more than packability.
You’ll notice straight away that the AP1000 doesn’t feel like the smaller rifle. The finish is exactly what you’d expect at this price with this many features, but the balance and handling lean more toward rested or supported shooting. That long 500 mm barrel squeezes more efficiency out of the regulated 250 cc reservoir, nudging the shot count up without making you feel like you’re waving a curtain pole around. It’s still lighter than most tactical PCPs in this size class, just not pretending to be the spry, fold-and-go AP900.
The folding stock is still here and still useful, but the folded form is closer to car boot storage than backpack friendly. The rail setup stays simple and practical with an upper Picatinny for optics and M-LOK style compatibility along the forend. The side lever remains on the right, cycling the familiar mammoth M-series magazines with the same no-nonsense reliability. Think of it as AP900 energy, but all grown up and less concerned about squeezing into tiny spaces.

Effective Compliance with the Violent Crime Reduction Act 2006 (VCRA): Sections 31 and 32
Under the provisions of Sections 31 and 32 of the Violent Crime Reduction Act 2006, which were enacted through "The Violent Crime Reduction Act 2006 (Commencement No 3) Order 2007: firearms measures," specific regulations now apply to air weapons, their Pressure-Bearing component parts, and certain accessories.
Key Points to Note:
Restricted Items:
- Airguns: All airguns are classified as restricted items.
- Pressure-Bearing Parts of Airguns: This includes barrels, cylinders, reservoirs, and pistons.
- Functional Moderators (Silencers/Suppressors): Moderators that reduce the sound of discharge are also classified as restricted items.
Definition and Registration:
- Component Parts: While the VCRA does not explicitly define "component parts," the Home Office interprets this to include pressure-bearing parts such as barrels, cylinders, reservoirs, and pistons.
- Accessories: Only moderators (silencers) require registration by dealers.
Legal Requirements for Transfer:
- In-Person Transfer: It is an offence under the VCRA to transfer these restricted items through standard postal systems or to the end customer directly without the presence of both the buyer and either the seller or a representative of the seller.
- Representatives of the Seller: This can be:
- An employee of the seller who is a registered firearms dealer (RFD).
- Another RFD authorized by the seller.
- An employee of the authorized RFD.
Collection and Delivery Options:
- Collection from Store: Customers are encouraged to collect their restricted items directly from the store where purchased.
- Transfer to Another RFD: Items can be transferred to a local RFD for collection, though the receiving RFD may charge a fee for this service.
- Home Delivery: We offer home delivery through our in-house team to some areas of the UK. However, please note that this service has location restrictions and incurs higher costs due to the need for dedicated transport, making it more expensive than a standard RFD transfer.
