That's insane prices. Do they ship to the UK?

Yes they do. Make sure your UKARA is somewhere on the box (Easy way to do this is put it in the company part of your address). Also make sure you add on vat and import duty although they might not declare the prices as high as they are to customs.

What if my defence is not based on UKARA? Will that mean it gets stopped and I'll have to go through a whole bunch of faff?

 
Theatrical membership.

I started off buying RIFs in the form of PFC and Modelguns for stage work, this just fed my love of guns, which then led me to Airsoft.

Many places within the UK accept my membership as a valid VCRA defence (which it is), but some just have a box for a UKARA number and that's it.

I often have to email separately in order to get stuff.

 
In my experience, customs only just barely understand UKARA as a defence, anything else (though legally correct) you'll be e-mailing them back and forth/calling up a couple of times to get the import sorted.

 
Bought a really nice condition used GHK G5 and then some parts for it.

GHK pmag magazine tan.
GHK g5 stock tube.
Hephaestus steel charging handle.
IPG Pistol Grip for GBB M4.
CTR Stock.
Set of RIS rail covers.
Strike Angled Forward Grip.

You can all take a deep breath now.. the purchase of the year arrived yesterday

My Keymod sling mount  B)

But it's too fat for my sling! Booo-urns! :(

It's only an angels pube too fat, I reckon a minute with a metal file on the sling will shave just a fraction of a mm off to get it in there.

Bloody love this sling, don't want to replace it.

@L3wisD Had a similar issue with an old sling of mine. Managed to wiggle and twist it enough to click on, not realising it would then never come off  :lol:

Hacksaw done the trick, but then the sling was knackered :(

If ot where me, I’d gently file down the mount, not the sling. Evenly, then repaint.

Very cool.

 
Went a bit mad during a Black Friday sale and got some stuff I have been looking at for a while.

5.11 Tactical Flash Bang Pouch - Tac OD

5.11 Tactical Bungee Radio Pouch - Sandstone

5.11 Tactical Flash Bang Pouch - Sandstone

5.11 Tactical TacTec Plate Carrier Vest - Sandstone

5.11 Tactical Double Pistol Bungee-Cover Pouch - Sandstone

5.11 Tactical Single AR Mag Bungee-Cover Mag Pouch - Sandstone

5.11 Tactical Double AR Mag Bungee-Cover Mag Pouch - Sandstone

5.11 Tactical TDU Pant Ripstop Pant - Crye MultiCam    Large

5.11 Tactical Rush 72 Backpack - Sandstone

5.11 Tactical Rapid Assault Long Sleeve Shirt - TDU Green

5.11 Tactical Flag Bearer Multicam Cap - Multicam

Got it as an alternative to my multicam Warrior CPC set up. Easy to carry a load. Loving the Sandstone colour. Greener than Coyote Brown and fits in with so many other colour schemes. Started using 5.11 stuff at work awhile back and although initially sceptical about all the hype I have been impressed. And if it's good enough for me in the real world I know it'll last forever in Airsoft.

I'll do a review after some use.

I slightly regret going full multicam but after seeing a bunch of people on YouTube with full multicam I thought it looked nice, in person it’s not as good imo but i’ll probably mix it up with some tan in the future, anyway this is what I ordered.

  • 8Fields AAV FSBE Plate Carrier - Multicam
  • Viper fleece hoodie - Multicam
  • 8Fields Hydration pack w/ Bladder - Multicam 
  • Viper snood - Multicam
  • Viper special ops boots - Multicam 
  • Viper special forces gloves - Multicam
  • Viper elite trousers - Multicam 
  •  Viper T-Shirt - Multicam 
  • Viper elite jacket - Multicam 
  • Viper 35L garrison backpack - Multicam 
  • 8Fields double rifle gun case - Tan
  • Cyma CM.515 M4A1 Carbine - Black & Blue (Stripped the paint to make it black)
  • ASG 0.20g Blaster 6mm BB x 3000
  • NUPROL Fast helmet - Multicam 
  • NUPROL lower face mesh mask - Multicam (I actually ordered tan but they sent the wrong one lol)
  • Bolle cobra platinum clear goggles
  • NUPROL PMC Battle belt - Multicam 
  • 8Fields Dump pouch - Multicam 
  • EMERSONGEAR Fast helmet cover - Multicam 
  • Shotgun cartridge knife - Green (For opening boxes and because it looks cool) 
Total: £540.16 (Was just looking for cheap but decent gear on a budget, planning on upgrading a lot in the future once i’ve saved up, this was just to get me started)

Hopefully i’ll be getting myself a CM16 Raider before Christmas

Also as I said there’s way too much Multicam, It doesn’t look that bad but I just wish I got some tan, funnily enough the only tan item I got was a gun case lol

 
Forgive if I’m wrong but did you buy a two tone as no UKARA defence yet and remove the paint thus creating a RIF??

been in the cold all day so may have misunderstood you along the lines  :)

Correct, would’ve been easier to just get my UKARA and then buy it in Tan or Black but the CM.515 will be my backup because when I get my UKARA i’m getting a G&G CM16 Raider and also just wanted a gun in the meantime to just mess about with friends doing some backyard airsoft :)

If you do get some tan stuff, I'd suggest that it be things like the plate carrier/vest, pouches, kneepads (if any), etc... Maybe even your t-shirt/jacket if you wanted even less but I think multicam looks great with tan.
