E21A Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 AFAIK parts aren’t a problem. I’ve imported loads of gun shaped parts and never had an issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve imported loads of gun shaped parts and never had an issue It depends on how many parts and what parts. Stuff has been stopped. Customs can stop anything. What defence do you have? Noting that on your parcel maybe enough. An addum only customs can give you a correct answer all we can give you is passed experience which is just maybe.

Tommikka Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 A stock would be legal to import. But it can come to someone’s attention. There is at least one member of the forum who has been visited by the police due to importing parts. No real problems occurred - just establishing what they were up to. As a non UKARA member you just wouldn’t have that extra bit of documentation to illustrate why you are doing so. As for modifying with a new stock, if you reduce the bright coverage of an IF to 50% or below then you are modifying an IF into a RIF. Whether that is legal or not can depend - if you do so with the intent to use a RIF at an insured skirmish venue then you are meeting the intent of the law Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvilMonkee Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 The only parts which are illegal to import from real steel guns are the gas pressure bearing parts, anything else is fair game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
