Stormhall Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 http://shop.ehobbyasia.com/stark-arms-g19-airsoft-gbb.html I'm only 15 and I can't own an RIF so I was wondering how the heck would I order from a site like this and yet still make sure it's an IF?? If I offered them an extra fiver will they paint the top slide a bright green??? I just wanted to know because it seems like I can't get this from any British websites and I want a nice first side arm for the upcoming NAE13 event.

Supporters M_P Posted July 18, 2013 Supporters Share Posted July 18, 2013 You could try and ask them to paint it I guess but it's more hassle than it's worth to get that specific gun. You're better off getting the WE. The stark has to all intents and purposes, no aftermarket support in the UK, even mags will be a pain to get. Get something more practical.

It's said that it supports both WE and Marui mags and heck it's $98.00 and it comes with those lovely Glock trademarks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters M_P Posted July 18, 2013 Supporters Share Posted July 18, 2013 hmm thats a bonus I suppose but a WE will still be cheaper and still comes with relatively accurate trades.$98 will probably end up being over £100 by the time it reaches you.

What about Tiger111HK?? They have a Stark without the epic Glock trades but I heard they were a good site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters M_P Posted July 18, 2013 Supporters Share Posted July 18, 2013 You will have to pay for postage, tax and possibly other fees regardless of where you buy from if it's outside the EU. I'd just go for the WE, parts are easier to get and it's available all over the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spatch Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 You're far better off dealing with a uk supplier chap, you will have no back up in essence bringing something in, $98 may seem cheap until (you might get lucky and it won't) it gets checked at customs and you get the duty charged and the normal £15 ish charge from Royal Mail just to handle it It's really not worth it in the long run, being able to ring the shop or take it in if there is a problem is worth it weight in gold, the IF's you're considering will also be a massive pain to get parts for, not just spare mags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormhall Posted July 18, 2013 Author Share Posted July 18, 2013 Will any UK supplier stock these?? If not then ah crap. But thanks for the advice and the WE G19 even though it's £99.99 it does have a partial glock trademark (just the G) and it's WE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporters Airsoft-Ed Posted July 18, 2013 Supporters Share Posted July 18, 2013 I'm more intrigued by it saying it has full auto, despite being a Glock 19, and having no fire selector to speak of... Is it magic? Do you just "think" you want full auto and then "think" it back to semi? Or did the site just idiotically copy and paste the description from any other Glock on their website? If they have, then there's a chance it might not take TM/WE mags. As others have said, there are myriad Glocks on the market, with practically all of them except that one, being quite easy to get hold of in the UK. I'd wager KSC have probably made a Glock 19, which will probably also have full trades and will share the internals of the KWA models, which are fantastic. See if you can source one of those in the UK.Though you'll still have the issue of mags being hard to come by. The WE really is the best bet, especially since TM don't make a Glock 19 for some reason. Edit: Mad Badger Airsoft did recently managed to get some Stark Arms M&P Compacts, they were bigging up the fact that they were the first shop to get hold of them anywhere in the world, though I'm not sure how true that is... But anyway, if they managed to get exclusivity with a Stark Arms product, then it stands to reason they might be able to get hold of more, find them on Facebook and send them a message. Also, UK Airsoft - also on Facebook, will probably be happy to order one in for you and then post it over, can't hurt to ask them either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you pull the slide back and look underneath the rear end of the slide you will see a little selector switch. That's what makes it semi and full auto. It's to make sure it looks like an authentic Glock 19 because you never see a selector switch on a Glock 19. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporters Airsoft-Ed Posted July 18, 2013 Supporters Share Posted July 18, 2013 Really? Is that their thing? I don't see the sense of making a replica less realistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormhall Posted July 18, 2013 Author Share Posted July 18, 2013 Really? Is that their thing? I don't see the sense of making a replica less realistic. I personally think it's quite unique and neat although a bit contradictory to there splashing of glock trademarks everywhere on the gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me neither, but on the bright side atleast it's the selector is hidden... Not sure why they'd bother either, must be more effort to design for little gain.
