Taiwangun alternatives for 8fields gear?

[Skullchewer]

There's a specific 8fields item I'm in need of, and taiwangun still has shipping issues.

Patrolbase (blech) are out of stock and I'm having trouble locating it elsewhere.

Anyone know of a UK 8fields retailer, or one that ships to the UK?

 

[Fatboy40]

I think you've covered the only UK one with Patrol Base

I'm not sure if 8Fields is distributed in Europe by Taiwan Gun or if it's actually a brand they own (it was this site that made me think they actually own them... https://8fields.com/ ), but they're the only ones I known of who stock their full range.

 

[Skullchewer]

I feared as much. Gonna start looking at other options ?

 

[Tackle]

Try ebay, I often see new 8fields gear pop up on there. 

What's the actual item ?

Oooh Multicam black, not exactly common from any manufacturer, definitely got your work cut out there?

 

[Skullchewer]

Yeah, I'm thinking I'll just get some mp5 hard shell holsters (also apparently rocking horse shit unless you want kydex) and spray then as I did with my kydex stuff.

Have you looked at the TMC stuff on Weapon762? Might be something on there.

You can message patrolbase to order in kit from TG but be warned, they're ditsy as hell and will most likely put whatever you've ordered on the site and sell it. Then email asking if you bought it. 

Keep an eye on ebay, that's where I snagged my rig from!

 

[Skullchewer]

Fuck, and I say this with all seriousness, patrolbase. I was only going to buy it from them if I had literally no other option.

Out of stock ??

 

[C-Diddy]

Tbf ive had no problem with PB, but I only use them for cheap gear for my son (funnily enough a set of 8 Fields body armour.) I'd never use them for RIFs. Too many horror stories.

Pisser about Weapon762. Anything on Ali Express?

 

[Skullchewer]

Actually weapon 762 had something that'll do, thanks c-diddy.

There's always powair6 if you need it 

https://www.powair6.com/en/magazine-holder/9567-8fields-quad-molle-pouch-for-mp5-mp7-mp9-kriss-vector-magazine-multicam-black.html

Shipping will be about £20 though, so unless you're Desperate then probably best to order some other stuff too to make it worthwhile.

@Skullchewer

Use 

airsoftdb.com

Invaluable tool for finding stuff, even works with parts numbers if the retailers list them properly ?

Not quite what I'm looking for. Close, but not it. Thanks though ?

Well that's bloody useful! Cheers Enid.

@Skullchewer how about one of these: https://www.ur-tactical.com/product/quattro-s-m-g/ (they do Multiglam Goth too).

 

[Skullchewer]

Multiglam Goth is how it shall be called going forward.

I've ordered some of these, in multiglam Goth.

I know I am digging this thread up, but did anyone order anything from Taiwangun recently without issues? They say trouble free delivery to NI but my England postcode tells me to order from Patrolbase....... Wtf are they doing with the customs post brexit? It's just airsoft stuff.

Taiwangun will not ship to any of the UK apart from NI, which is still effectively within the EU's Single Market.

Shipping stuff to the rest of the UK from the EU is complicated as, for every transaction above a relatively low value, sellers are required to register with HMRC and collect tax on their behalf.  Generally, it is not worthwhile for them.

Another Brexit benefit!
