its impossible to find 250mm maple or crazyjet inner barrel where you guys shopping those stuff?

Hello everyone for mws users what hpa adaptor are you guys using for your mws setup and any good site to buy?

I understand that the UK has specific rules, whereas the EU has no regulations in place. When I used to live in Sweden, I had no issues purchasing airsoft equipment from the US-based store, Evike. Our team members from Germany and Turkey also order their airsoft gear from Japan and China without any complications. Recently, I bought my WE M14 GBB from a manufacturer in China and had it shipped to Germany. I only had to pay the border tax and asked the company to label the box as a RIF with a pink flash hider. Picture here I think having a UKARA is a good thing also I am of the opinion that implementing firearm laws is imperative. However, I also believe that these laws should be designed in a manner that differentiates between hobbies and other activities and international players who intent to stay a bit longer in the country like me.

I am grateful to all the people who contributed with helpful answers. Thanks to their advice, I decided to approach one of the retailers and explain my situation to them via email. Fortunately, the Airsoft retailer responded positively, allowing me to send the required photos ( My airsoft pictures ) This is excellent news for me as I can now avoid purchasing a second-hand or two-tone airsoft gun. I am delighted to have received such a warm and friendly response from everyone on this platform. I hope to find the same camaraderie and guidance on the airsoft field as well. live in Henley-on-Thames and have recently moved here. I have two options to choose from Highwycome and Reading. I plan to give both a try and hopefully find my ideal team in the UK for a long-term. @RorySending RIFs to Europe via airplanes is a viable option. However, it can be challenging to send them to the UK for non-citizens. I have attempted to send them myself, but I encountered several diplomatic demands via email that made it difficult to proceed. Perhaps there are alternative ways but we dont know yet.

Thank you Allow me to clarify that I am fully committed to upholding all rules and regulations, especially those concerning firearm laws, I do not try to bypass anything. However, I'm interested in understanding if there are any provisions for experienced airsoft players like myself. Several friends from Spain, Sweden, and Turkey, along with myself, are keen on participating in the National Airsoft Festival in 2024. Unfortunately, it appears they may face challenges bringing their own guns due to stringent border regulations regarding RIFs. Around whether international airsoft players must solely rely on renting equipment or if there are alternative arrangements, such as gifting, available to them. I'm somewhat perplexed because while UKARA is designed for anyone interested in airsoft, I'm uncertain if there are distinct limitations or exemptions for non-UK players aiming to participate in the UK. I've heard that some airsoft players go for two-tone guns, but I'm not quite confident about the buying and selling process that goes along with it. It appears my main option is to proceed with the £120 to expedite obtaining my UKARA, which I find somewhat expensive. Attending games in my area typically costs £25-30, with an additional £30-35 for gear rental, totalling an extra £120-135 plus the time and effort of participating in three games with potentially subpar equipment. Additionally, I'm curious about the potential implications of purchasing a RIF second-hand. Do I still need UKARA for such purchases? Many thanks. @WonkyBoi @novioman Thank you guys, I had chance to read your answers after posted my new post. I will have a look and check the options for these sportsman also got my answer already from @noviomanfor my second hand buying options. Cheers !

Greetings everyone! This is my first post here! I've noticed that the prices for attending regular airsoft games in the UK, particularly in my area (RG9), are quite high. As a non-UK airsofter who has recently moved here, obtaining UKARA registration is proving to be extremely costly. I'm required to attend three games, with gear rental costing £60 each time, which is already the price of an entry-level airsoft rifle. While I completely understand and respect the country's rules, I've played airsoft in Germany, Sweden, and Turkey numerous times with various teams, where game attendance typically costs around 5-10 euros. Renting gear is an additional expense, but none of these countries require a license number for purchasing a RIF (Realistic Imitation Firearm). The airsoft scene here seems more serious, which I appreciate, but as a non-UK airsofter, I've brought all my gear with me except for my RIFs, which I had planned to purchase locally. However, to do so, I must first obtain UKARA registration, which entails spending at least £180 to attend the necessary games. My question is: Are there any alternative options for experienced airsoft players with a proven background to obtain UKARA without having to attend games? Many thanks.
