Anyone managed t get one yet? Was due for early October release.

OH wow, where from how much? IS it for the new release ( last year ) CO2 version?

Unless it has changed lately this is not the case. It will be faster with a UKARA Registration on the package but otherwise they will write to you for your defence. I have imported maybe half a dozen guns this way, not for maybe 5 years though. Having said that if buying a gun the saving needs to be considerable or its not available in UK. Otherwise buy in the UK then it will be to UK legal spec and you will have a guarantee. Things like accessories and particularly gas mags however can be well worth importing.

Shame mate, would have been a hell of a collection. Hope TM does G3 and HK33/53 NGRS and GBBr next.

Away Jez get the MC51's ( G3 SBS & G3K ) fitted with a proper 7.62 cocking ube and handle. letting down an otherwise remarkable collection. Do you still own all of those?

Pardon?

That is correct as airguns where already covered by the 1967 Fireams Act when the VCRA came into being. So despite some guns being available as airsoft guns and airguns with the only difference being ammo fired and velocity. despite them being more powerful thus dangerous airguns do not need a defence. As I said UK Firearms law is a mess.

Its highly unlikely customs will chrono it. The main problems are that its stupidly expensive and if there is any problems with it he has no comeback as he will be unable to return it to company in US without getting an import licence ( 16 CFR part 1272 ) from the US Consumer Product Safety Commission. I know this as I am currently trying to do this having had a package sent back to me by Royal Mail and refused by UPS. Just do as I have previously said by a decent quality gun from a trusted UK retailer and go from there.

Tell us where abouts in the country you are and we can recommend a good shop that will steer you right. As previously commented by someone you come across as a newcomer to the sport, if so forget about custom guns. Get a good solid gun, low to mid end and some experience. Don't even consider a custom build or boutique build untl you know what you are talking about.

Its from the same company in the US so no. Buy one from the UK, preferably a shop you can actually visit.

I would, but my shelves are all still full of toilet rolls left over from lockdown.

So your gonna by a gun built and tuned to a high level from an american company. Running at that sort of performance ( to be honest if you are shooting at 40rps your gonna be getting into a lot of trouble or banned from sites ) it will need maintenance and any guarantee is next to worthless as shipping a gun back to US is expensive and requires US Govt issued Paperwork. Why not but a good solid gun from a UK shop, run it for awhile and see what if any upgrades you want. You won't get the fancy laser engraved topographic design, but you could get a simpler and custom to you design engraved on or cerakoted. Honestly mate that US Gun is a bad idea.

It's all a mess the hole system needs revamping. Sadly if they ever do get round to it, it will probably only turn out to be bad news for the shooting sports. They will invariably take the opportunity to ban or make it harder to get some items.

Can any or you recommend somewhere I can get a quality stipple and undercut job done or buy a pre done lower for a TM / WE G17?

I have this one for sale. Holds a railed 226 but not with light attached. https://airsoft-forums.uk/classifieds/item/46859-1911-sig-p226-beretta-m92m9-holsters/

First thing I though when I saw these an the tiny battery space was I wonder how long before someone kocks up a printed extension. Nice one. Get em up for sale, make yourself a few quid. lol

The Forum was supposed to be going down for awhile whle its moved and revamped but its now showing an IONIS Page? Is this normal or has it gone now? much as I prefer here and Arnies, Zero In was a useful page to buy and sell, as long as you cold put up all the kids.

If in doubt about the website give them a bell. They have a large new showroom and warehouse, probably one of the largest in the UK. If you visit they have a new range facility so you can try before you buy. They import and distribute a large range of products as well as being KWA UK.

First off B&T is Brugget & Thomet is a Swiss Arms Company, they make the MP5 under license from HK. Classic army used to make an MP5's with B&T Trades on. I have an SD one for sale. Secondly the TM may have a plastic upper but it is small made of good plastic with no heavy forend on it unlike M16's so it's not a problem. As your after a light reliable back up I would go with the TM.

Probably just emans decent batteries rather than the crap that comes with guns. lol

Lol.

Royal Mail Special Delivery also takes RIFS.

They have a good rep, iirc James Yeager uses them all the time.

For ultimate look at TM with Prime Kit, hard to find though.
