Well response from the poster states they have entered the UK with airsoft guns multiple times. I asked them to provide contact details for the OP to the agencies they previously liaised with. So yes maybe possible. Hard to believe given the Polices and customs general ignorance of Airsoft.

FFS Yeah I'm definitely not selling anything via PM

ChatGPT felt sorry for that video and definitely wrote that for him

Scammers are messaging members direct with guns for sale and pretending to be Moderators at AFUK using our usernames. Do not purchase anything from them or give them your details. Report to the Mod team. We do not have friends, family, or team mates with items for sale. We would only sell guns via the Classifieds, in a proper advert, not by random direct messages. If in doubt, send us a PM.

I’m assuming this is the many Airsoft sites the young dreamer has travelled too. We obviously all have money trees in our massive gardens. If you need some cutting I’m happy to send them 😂

Just wanted to share my experience flying from Spain (Malaga) to the UK with internal airsoft parts in my carry-on luggage, in case it helps anyone considering the same. This could probably help in some other EU countries as well. Background: I only considered doing this because I had pre-purchased parts from Finland and Italy to arrive at my address in Spain. Nearly everything was RetroArms parts at significant discounts — hard to come by and expensive to replace. The only non-RetroArms item was the LCT AK magwell spacers. I was trying to avoid shipping them separately or risking them in checked baggage due to time and coordination issues. Previous Experience: On a past trip, I had tried to take an airsoft pistol magazine in carry-on. In hindsight I couldn't believe I even tried this, I should have known better. It was flagged immediately and security said I’d have to either check it in the hold (too late) or have it confiscated. I chose the latter. Lesson learned: magazines are a definite no in hand luggage. This Time: I packed the following internal-only parts in my carry-on: 2 gearboxes 2 motor cages 2 spring guides 1 cylinder 1 cylinder head LCT AK magwell spacers Nothing was externally gun-shaped or capable of functioning on its own. All were purely internal upgrade components. I also brought: Paperwork detailing what the items were, receipts and why I had them. In both Spanish and English. My best attempt at staying calm and cooperative despite being rushed (I woke up an hour before the flight and was rushing like hell to get to the airport, don't do that!) What Happened: After going through the scanner, my bag was immediately pulled aside. Security flagged the contents as “weapon-like in nature.” I explained and handed over the documentation. A police officer was called. Thankfully, he knew what airsoft was and confirmed the parts were internal-only and not part of a replica. He still went to check with his superior, since it was a fairly large quantity. The superior gave the green light, but warned me not to do it again, emphasizing that other officers could have refused it entirely. I ended up having to sprint through the airport and barely made my flight. It was a close call as I had 7 minutes to run from Security, through Passport control and to the gate at the furthest end of B Terminal! Key Point: Even if what you’re carrying is legal, that does not mean you have the right to bring it in carry-on. Airport security and airline staff have full discretion to confiscate or deny boarding over any item they find suspicious, even if it’s not prohibited by law. Final Thoughts: I got through this time because I had paperwork, remained polite, and the police officer was informed. But it could have easily gone the other way. TL;DR: Only tried this because I had pre-bought RetroArms parts at a discount, shipped to Spain from Finland and Italy. Packed all internal parts: no replica externals, no magazines. Bag was pulled aside, police were called, and I was let through after a warning. Legal doesn’t mean allowed — security can refuse anything. Wouldn’t try it again — too stressful and risky. If you do intend to try this. Please make sure you heed the above!

I would imagine the rules, while a bit murky, are similar to any of us wanting to travel abroad for a game in a country where airsoft is permitted ?, contact the airline to confirm their requirements, maybe also email ahead to ukba explaining your intent & supplying an itinerary. I'm saying this on the assumption that they're not brand new, & the guy is leaving the UK with the guns post game, so there's no issue with duty/taxes etc.

I have posted it up for sale, but I am unsure if the price is okay! £110? No mag though!

Nope. Utter bullshit.

Got a little RMR for the GHK

To be fair, cocaine has become more expensive lately.

Hi guys, I am new to airsoft and have bought myself my first gun. I have purchased an ARES Amoeba AM-008 and I am looking for some advice on what I need to get before I take it out for the first time. The gun didn’t turn up with a battery and looking online I think that a Nuprol 2600mAh 11.1v LIPO Twin Stick - Mini Tamiya may be my best option. i will also need to obtain a charger for this. I would like to know what I can use on this gun and will make a list below of stuff I would like to get but do not know what is compatible. optic - red dot/holographic foregrip tracer silencer sling & hook spare mags battery & charger flashlight sorry if this was a long winded post I am just lost and looking for advice on what I can do to maximise my new weapon. thankyou in advance

Don't knock it! In his mind, that will only "justify" his need for a GoPro and a ScopeCam or something with decent image stabilisation. ________________________ "I got bills to pay" Ryan K What a shamelessly ungrateful gobshite! Does he have a mortgage, council tax and other financial responsibilities at 19 that we mere mortals can't possibly fathom? How does he think we pay for our kit?

Japan was asking for them! All together! TM does not give a shit about international markets! All TM products are Gray imports that why the cost so much ( except half the Chinese/Taiwanese pistols cost more these days).

Managed to get hold of someone through the customs option (thanks LMKipper). She sent me a RIF declaration, filled out and sent back and they just updated to say they have everything they need and then sent an invoice today which wasn’t too painful. Hopefully I’ll be in the 249 club by the weekend 🙏🏽

After a bit of research and measurements, I found these on ebay. A TM saiga 90 round magazine fits perfectly. Cheap too, under £6 delivered. Al
