    Tokyo Marui NGRS SCAR L - EGLM compatibility/availability?

    Haha yeah I know - but after wanting one for so long why the hell not? They look sweet. Side note - is it classed as a RIF? I'm not on the UKARA database and I know that doesn't actually mean I can't buy a RIF but I can't really be arsed with the hassle of arguing the point with anyone (BF...

    Tokyo Marui NGRS SCAR L - EGLM compatibility/availability?

    Hello all, Looooong time airsofter here but haven't been in an age. Having recently introduced my sister's young brood to nerf I've found myself hankering for some slightly more serious action so have been retrieving all of my gear from the loft. I have in my possession a TM NGRS SCAR L (in...

    Free money

    No really! Not sure whether this will be deemed spam and so I apologize in advance if it is, but if anyone has recently caught the Nationwide 'refer a friend' advert; you can recommend a friend to Nationwide and, if they switch their current account, you get £100 each. You can boost your share...

    Retailers - Lack of understanding, over-cautious or maybe even cynical?

    That's one way of looking at it (and no it didn't come across as aggressive - it's pretty apparent that this is an adult thread where people can voice different viewpoints :) ). Alternatively, say the total cost to the retailer to purchase an import a RIF for stock is £125 and they mark it up...

    Retailers - Lack of understanding, over-cautious or maybe even cynical?

    Sp00n - so even though you wouldn't need to do it, you would anyway just because I was telling you that you must? Interesting. I probably have veered a little off my original question into a crusade against UKARA, which I hadn't intended to and I'm certainly not "dead against it". I think...

    Retailers - Lack of understanding, over-cautious or maybe even cynical?

    My bloody-minded response to that is: why the hell should I? From your perspective that'd be like me telling you that before you can own a car, you have to register on the "Supa_T car owners database". Neither has any legal grounding. By the way, is there any actual case law regarding what...

    Retailers - Lack of understanding, over-cautious or maybe even cynical?

    I've been trying to purchase a new RIF for a little while now, and have been frustrated at the stance every retailer I have contacted has taken when I have made enquiries with them. I'm not on the UKARA database but can still prove that I'm an airsofter and therefore can provide them with a...

    Has any imported a guy from Asia?

    I would avoid Redwolf UK simply because when I asked them for a price on a VFC Scar L (this is about 3 weeks ago) they quoted £460. JD Airsoft sell the same item for £360 - which is marginally cheaper than if I imported from Redwolf Hong Kong (They want £260 for the gun + £40 postage then I'd...

    Does anyone have any Madbull SS6 shotgun shells?

    More specifically, does anyone know if they come apart? http://shop.ehobbyasia.com/magazines/shell-cartridge-type/shotgun-shells/madbull-airsoft-shotgun-shell-ss6-for-tanaka-6mm.html i.e. does the gold part slide off of the bronze part a bit like the way the blue/gold Haw Shan shells dismantle...

    Contacting foreign retailers - do they ever respond or is it just me they don't like?

    Well, WGC responded although their UK correspondent clearly didn't understand my e-mail as my polite enquiry as to whether or not they would match 2 Redwolf prices was met with: "Dear Customer, Thanks, customer may check out with our shopping cart." Does anybody speak Chinese as I think that...

    Thanks for the suggestion mate but it didn't like that address for some reason :wacko:

    Contacting foreign retailers - do they ever respond or is it just me they don't like?

    It was a quote over the telephone for an item they have in stock right now... Edit: Unless you were referring to my original question, in which case no it was the Redwolf HK site I e-mailed along with WGC.

    Contacting foreign retailers - do they ever respond or is it just me they don't like?

    Ok so Redwolf UK is a scam as far as I'm concerned. Check out the video in this thread: http://www.airsoft-forums.co.uk/index.php/topic/11262-redwolf-airsoft-uk/ At about 1:30 - he mentions that although they can't exactly match the HK site prices in order to keep wholesalers happy, they...

    Contacting foreign retailers - do they ever respond or is it just me they don't like?

    Please let me know how you get on with the M9 order. I have registered with them but my "specific reference number to your query" e-mail was sent 2 weeks ago now and nothing since - bloody annoyed really as I referred to throwing them at least $600-700 business... I've done a bit more reading...

    Contacting foreign retailers - do they ever respond or is it just me they don't like?

    Wow - bit doom and gloom regarding the HK retailers. "Back in the day" no-one ever thought twice about ordering abroad...ok maybe people did think twice as forums were full of "will I have to pay import duty" threads. Been doing some research and although almost everyone complains about delays...

    Contacting foreign retailers - do they ever respond or is it just me they don't like?

    I am aware of the UK retailers but I suppose I'm still in "pre-VCR bill" mode when I regularly ordered from the aforementioned sites with no problems whatsoever. Sometimes I got charged by customs and sometimes I didn't - I remember one particularly satisfying promotion where Redwolf were...

    Contacting foreign retailers - do they ever respond or is it just me they don't like?

    Hi all, I am a returned Airsofter having purchased a lot of RIF's prior to the VCR bill. Been out of the sport for years but in January started back up again and am loving it. On 10th Feb I will qualify for my specific defence and will finally be able to buy that SCAR-L I've always wanted -...
