Odin Innovations M12 Airsoft Speed Loader

[Sacarathe]

Yeah i suppose it will save on time if you do need to reload in field. I havent needed to do that so i guess im just lucky......or not shooting enough bad guys haha

Not sure that's what he meant, time is precious, on and off the field. I like it for my thumbs.

 

[jcheeseright]

Yeah, I don't ever reload mid game, it's more the 5 mins of thumb workout in between games that annoys me. Or at a weekend/milsim game going back to base and having 5 mins before going back out sometimes it's a choice between having a snack and reloading magazines, this eliminates that entirely.

Id rather spend 5mins reloading whilst ramming munch in my gob every time i swap the now full mag out and with the money id saved on not buying a posh reloader ill by more food thumb pressing is just part of the game.

 

[jcheeseright]

for the sake of £30 ish I'll probably pick up a posh speed loader... it'll justify it's cost to me almost immediately.

Came across this today. What do you think? I'm going to order one from Evike as soon as they get back to me on whether G&G guns have commercial or milspec stock tubes (for magpul stocks).

If you do put in an order for one of these I'd be happy to go halves on shipping/customs if you add one onto the order for me, I expect with the rip-off-britain factor added in importing from the US will still almost certainly work out cheaper than buying one in the UK.

Evike put the price up 20%. ^^

In £ [ordering 4] thats £46 up to £53 (including shipping+tax/4).

I expect these will be ridiculously overpriced by the time them make it here.

 

[jcheeseright]

still a manageable cost I think, though others may not agree.

 

[Sacarathe]

I've contacted two UK retailers and this item clearly has their attention - remains to see if they can get it in a timely and affordable fashion.

Given the USA RRP at $50-$60 (£36-£43.2 + taxes) I don't expect to see it cheaper than £60.

If it performs as expected I'd say its still worth it, but in my opinion not a necessary purchase (unless you don't own any other loader).

If it is priced at £60, i'd say it might be worth ordering a couple - rather than wait till may/june for it to disseminate.

If I ordered four right now [attributing to each an equal share of tax/duty/extortion], the unit cost would be £55 +/- currency conversion. +£4 inside country shipping. The price of ordering one on it's own however, is around £85.

A good idea to share the cost of import chages, although there is then the internal cost to post or arrange a meet to collect.

I would also like to buy one, so more than happy to share the fees and make the order larger.

Royal Mail small parcels is cheap enough, about £3 if I remember correctly.

 

[Sacarathe]

£3.9 recorded. Sadly, thanks to companies like paypal/ebay, i've become a little paranoid about non recorded parcels - funny really because with letters I don't care. Recorded is useful if RM decided it was something other than a sweets dispensary/toy.

Well. That makes three people who've contacted me, and I do need some other things from evike.

Their shipping calc is total BS though.

1 loader $30

2 loader $40.50

3 loader $50 + 1 selector plate price drops to $45

4 loader $50 + 1 selector plate price drops to $40

5 loader $40

6 loader $40

7 loader $47

8 loader $49.50

[The dreaded automatic double post.]

 

[jcheeseright]

That makes absolutely no sense at all.

 

[jcheeseright]

Red wolf in HK have them for $60(ish), shipping is $30 if we order 4. Less chance of being stung by customs too.

Good spot, if they're in HK thats good news they're outside the US. With discount codes, the loaders are actually $45 on evike. I never knew Redwolf was a tax avoidable retailer.

 

[Sacarathe]

Well, these have made it to ebay now (£55).

 

[jcheeseright]

that's a pretty reasonable price, I'm going to pick one up independently I think. Once you factor in UK postage to distribute them I think it'd be a challenge to beat £55 by much with a group purchase.

 

[Jaf]

There is a shipment well on its way to Fire Support....hopefully there are nearly here....

 

[jcheeseright]

Oh, I'll probably wait to see what Frank's markup is then!

 

[Sacarathe]

BeestingAirsoft have quoted £35-£40. However I need a few things from Firesupport.
