Of those companies listed there are precisely 2 that I would actually believe have them in stock. I would be very very careful with the HK sites. Having been there in person in Feb this year I can assure you that places like Bunny do not have half of what they say they do. Oh and Begadi wont ship guns to the UK so you can take that one off your list. Something to do with German gun laws. I know cos I inquired about an Sterling from them On sale currently No harm, no foul I have added a note to the listed link about Begadi (useful to known) but the list of links was more in reply to Wo1f comment and I quote "There is not a single place I’ve found that has one in stock." just to show that there are places that still sell RS products even if they don't all sell to the UK or that stock level are not as you mentioned as accurate as the website portray. I will endeavor in the future to be more accurate when presenting my evidence. Apologies to the op for taking the topic slightly off course.

Wo1f Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 I was more referring to the mythical SVD, which I searched high and low for a few months ago with no success. I hadn’t heard of a couple of those websites before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Immortal Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Begadi do seem to have stock others don't carry (within the EU). I've used them before with no issue and a quick service. I don't have 800 euros but if I did then Begadi have the RS SVD. Look's pretty sweet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see apologies I read your comment and took it as you could not find a single RS product anywhere you are correct RS SVD are hard to find especially if you want the very accurate Soviet/Russian weapon finish found mainly on the RS gen 1 SVD and when you do find them they are very expensive here is a link to a RS SVD but it does not come with the scope https://hristo.hr/en/airsoft/3456/dragunov-svd/real-sword-svd-aeg-airsoft-rifle This chap is selling his RS SVD on prefired https://www.prefired.com/ads/svd-real-sword-dragunov/ but I personally would not pay the asking price considering it does not come with the original paperwork or the scope bag and maintenance kit and from the picture it appears that there are no rubber eye relief for the scope as well. You can also order direct from RS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvilMonkee Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 As mush as I will regret this try softair.ch for a new RS SVD. It will cost silly money of course but thats where I sourced my hard to find PPS K98K. They speak English so give them a call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(100% hypothesis!) I'd probably contact them and ask about it if I was in the market for one. Previously I've bought parts from them and they were legit, the service was quick and they kept me informed of my orders progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have ordered from Histro, but, not an aeg but internal parts for my AK and 8 RS magazine when they had them in stock they were pretty good on par with shops like Land Warrior and Patrol Base, in my opinion, postage can be expensive if you don't meet their threshold for free shipping. The RS SVD they have in stock is the version that does not come with the scope which makes it slightly cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Showy is part of the Marketing Department so she does not normally deal with private sale to individuals, she may have past your request on but if they did not get back to you she may have forgotten, if your still interested in RS aeg/products send them another email, this is the email that I have got the best results with [email protected] and if Helen gets back you then you should be OK she normally very good takes some time with Correspondance but that's down to the different time zones GMT-HKST.

sonofsammo Posted October 13, 2018 Author Share Posted October 13, 2018 Was looking for an AK to actually get my mitts on and was ever so excited to find an E&L AKM platinum at Fubar Bundy, just down the M62 from me. Checked it was in stock on the website and off I went! Got into the store and had a quick look round - couldn't see it anywhere, so I asked. No, we haven't got that in stock. I said - it's in stock on your website. The reply - it shouldn't be! I wasn't impressed, as I'd moved heaven and earth with wife and kids to be able to sneak out. However, it's entirely my own fault, as I believed the website. I figured, if I could buy it online, I can see it in the shop. Had I phoned, I'd have known not to go. My search continues.......

Are there no players at your local site that have the AKs / Manufactures you are interested in and will let you have look at one and possibly test it?

I know nothing about Fubar Bundy. TBH, it looks like your heart is set on an E&L - try Airsoft Entrepot in France - best price you will find for them. Alternatively, I think Daves Custom Airsoft have some - but you will pay twice what you would for an LCT AKM and its not worth it. Or if you feel like a wait airsofttiger111hk have Gen 1 E&L and occasionally they can be had for as little as £185. Not incl Customs and postage....might be worth an email.
