Inactive player importing Airsoft

[reinekurokawa]

Hi,

 

I have done some googling and searching in this forum about importing airsoft from oversea.

 

Seem being a member of UKARA and being current active is a must.

 

I was active airsoft player in my Home country, but I have relocate to UK about 10years and since I relocate I have not be involve in any airsoft activites.

 

Some of those I really like to keep it and ship over here (e.g. first generation Tanaka kar 98k, TM Thompson etc). I don't think I would be joining any airsoft skirmish in the future, just keeping those as a collection. I couldn't find anyway to import it without painting it two tone.

 

Wondering could I find a UK airsoft dealer to import on behalf of me? or it is too much hassle?

Collecting is not a defence to import airsoft RIFs. your options are get your UKARA or join a re-enactors group.

Fixed.

 

Unfortunately if you don't have one of the defences listed in the vcra then I'm afraid you're out of luck, and no before you ask, having a shitty YouTube channel doesn't count for film or TV purposes

Do you have a friend in the uk who has a UKARA that you could ship them to?

Effectively acting as if it was a sale ??‍♂️

Any adult who makes tiktok videos needs to have a word with themselves, and probably their hard drive checked

Guess I am out of luck.

I place everything in a self storage and forget about it. Only when the self storage contact me via e-mail last week I remeber I have those.

 

I will just see if airsoft player want those in my home town.

 

Thank you guys
