Snowpeak AP900 Tactical Regulated PCP Air Rifle
£295.00
Snowpeak have a knack for getting a surprising amount of performance into very sensible packages, and the AP900 is the tactical, lightweight entry in that line. It’s aimed at shooters who want a compact, feature-rich PCP that won’t slow you down on the move — think mountain shooting: a mobile style of stalking and field work that prioritises lightweight kit, fast deployment and the ability to engage from improvised positions while covering rough ground.
Built for that mobile role, the AP900 pairs a low overall mass and folding stock with practical tactical features. The 118 cc tank with an integrated regulator delivers consistent pressure for accurate follow-ups while keeping the package compact; a reinforced mammoth/M-series magazine system brings reliable multi-shot capability without fiddly loaders; and the right-side lever gives fast, repeatable action for quick follow-up shots. At under 2 kg and folding to roughly 600 mm, it’s easy to carry in a pack or across difficult terrain — yet it still mounts optics and accessories via the upper Picatinny and M-LOK-compatible forend so you can tailor the rig to the job.
Why this matters for mountain shooting: the discipline favours rifles you can carry all day, deploy quickly from odd or improvised rests (rocks, rucksack, knee), and still shoot accurately. The AP900’s short 310 mm barrel and integrated silencer keep the profile low and manoeuvrable; the folding stock and quick side lever speed transitions; and the lightweight build reduces fatigue on long walks. In short, it’s designed so you can move further, react faster, and stay precise — without hauling a heavy bench rig.
Other practical features: a simple manual safety on the trigger, an adjustable two-stage trigger for tuning pull to your preference, and a pressure gauge to monitor remaining air. The integrated silencer is tidy and removable if you prefer a different moderator. Snowpeak have balanced features and price here — it isn’t a boutique rifle, but for mobile shooters wanting capability without bulk it’s a strong contender.

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.
