Smee Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Hi As the title says I’m new player down in sunny Sussex, am thinking of getting a G&G L85a1 (purely for sentimental reasons). I was wondering if anyone can give me advice on using sites such as Asian airsoft, as it’s in Hong Kong would I get stung with import duty ? And are they the same spec as UK guns ? thanks smee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impulse Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Welcome! If you're in Sussex, maybe I'll see you around if you come down to Worthing when this tier 4 nonsense goes away. In my opinion, buying from HK should only be used for specialist parts that you can't find in the UK; I typically won't buy from HK unless I absolutely have to. Got a metal, threaded outer barrel for my p226 because it was out of stock literally everywhere here, and some spare m14 gearbox springs because I lost one way back when I foolishly decided to do some work on it, but I'd never buy any RIFs or anything that I can get here. Seriously, once you add postage and import duties it basically ends up a similar price as if you just bought it here. Only difference then is that you waited a month or so for your order to arrive from HK as opposed to the few days it would've taken here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus easier to take back/return if it goes wrong 😉 Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
