2 x ARS Split barrel bases for Marui EBB ARs
Soon as you take off the darn silly stock TM barrel nut of your SOCOM/SOPMOD the outer barrels ends up way on the piss when you rebuilt the front end, much worse/more noticeable with a freefloat handguard. Expensive for something so small but worth it to make your gun shoot straight, a couple of my SOCOMs have been winging shots off to the right for literally years and obviously I'd assumed it was the hop-up work I'd done.. turned out to be the externals causing the issue of all things.

Yes, there is only 1 reason why I would buy a gun from America. I cannot get it anywhere else.
A Gun shaped object being sent from a country known for the easy availability of guns guarantees customs will be interested in it. Once they realise they can't keep it, they will apply as much tax and duty as they can. Sometimes you can get lucky ordering stuff from the US but a gun has virtually no chance.

Seems this gun just doesn't want to get fixed. Can't get the bearing off the shaft of one of the old gears!Received my new SHS Super shooter gearset for the M4 from your pal and mine AK2M4,
ordered a set of Typhon Emerson G3 pants from ShooterCB gear...other than that pretty quiet on the buying front. I just want my M4 working again

End of the day, VAT is VAT, 20% is a fixed value, customs can't change that.
There is some lee-way in the Import Charge code they use but not very much, few quid either way. If anything they're more likely to be looking for 'guns' inside packages from HK because that's where the vast majority of RIFs will be coming in from, there's not going to be much difference. I've had RIFs from HK stopped and had maximum charges whacked on, same as I'm getting with a RIF from the states right now. Personally I'd say the main reason not to buy airsoft from the US is the general xenophobic attitude to sales that so many stores over there exhibit and the fact the prices are quite often worse.

Laylax M110 Spring, 13 euro,literally just arrived at the local shop. Hopefully bring the gun up right to the legal limit at 328/330. Most sites allow a tolerance and the madbull chronos most palces use always read too low from what I've seen.. I also don't exactly like the quality of the Chinese spring I currently have in mine,whatever finish is on it is very poor,comes off easily and It's covering the internals in whatever powdery shit it's covered in. I do not have faith in it's longetivity either.

My sympathies mate. My other half made me cut down the number of rifles I had (hence why I had a few for sale threads).
She didn't say ought about pistols though
