    We wish to use a couple of decommissioned rifles for props in a play, they have the firing pin removed so are inactive.
    Wondering is there a legislation - i.e need an orange cap - or what is the story?
    The play is at the Electric Picnic rather than on a stage, so don't want passing guards to give us a hard time

    U will need a certificate from your local superintendent to state they are decommissioned.

    The "orange cap" you are thinking of is an American law used to identify replica (airsoft) firearms, where they paint the muzzle of it bright orange.

    As above you need authorisation from the local Super to have/own/use deactivated or decommissioned firearms.
