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

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.

Plus easier to take back/return if it goes wrong 😉
