Thank you kindly, along side some other miscellaneous things I'm looking at bringing a B11-u and B19-n handguard/top rail over. Is that likely to serve up any potential issue? Other items include a vert grip & extended bolt handle, but of the bunch the rails are the ones I could see potentially being problematic. And ta for tip off in regard to avoiding Russian post if at all possible.

None of those parts are controlled IIRC so I can't forsee any issues on paper - but sometimes things don't go that way! but tbh i've not done it myself so can't comment any further. Though FWIW I've been buying... a fair amount..recently in prep to "return to skirmishing" and aliexpress and redwolf have been excellent, wrt the latter I paid $4 shipping and it arrived in just under 2 weeks. ymmv

Aye, always an element of risk on a case by case basis when ordering outside the UK. I've currently got an order sitting with Asia Airsoft (not a company I've ordered from before) on the basis they had everything I've was after 'in stock'. Given it's been sat on 'Sender is preparing item for posting' for the last 2 weeks I strongly suspect them being in stock is not the case. I've contacted them and been told 'Our colleague is packing them now' (or words to that effect twice.

I've followed up requesting an accurate update, if they fail to do so I've given up chasing a refund from them and I'll just go through PayPal. So largely just looking at the options at this point.
