importing though stores?
 
I don't now any store owners on a first name basis, so bear with me. Are there stores that will import guns for a customer? I'd like to see a TM MEU in Canada, but I don't have that magic AV status. Some help please. (besides the usual "get AV'ed, check then sales threads.")

Im sorry but that is the only option. No store will import for you.

Spawn28 June 14th, 2011 00:48

Forum Rules state not to tell where to get gun's to non Av'd Members its against the rules and a bannable offence...Sorry

Yes.

Wait until you're 18 and get Age Verified. For the love of God, please don't try to circumvent the system either.

Strelok June 14th, 2011 01:04

Seriously?

Thats kinda circumventing the AV system dude. Do you 'really' expect us to tell you alternatives when we have a system like this in place?

Overall, get age verified. If you need to wait, wait. Its well worth it.

The stores and individuals who offer those services exist, and are located inside the AV only section.

Even if we'd give you a store name or retailer's name, he wouldn't do it for an underaged. 18+, that's the rule across all Canada, so... bear with it and be patient! :)

No it isn't. A lot of retailers do say 18+ but there's nothing forcing them to.
Just saying.

Ok, right, nothing forcing them, hence the word "rule" as opposed to "law"

Talking about Law

So, it's about the same, right? ;)

>We're talking about airsoft guns

>Airsoft

That might clarify it a bit

@OP I know this is a broken record, but get AV'd, speak with a retailer, chances are they might be ordering 1 or 2 of the guns youre looking for

The store outside of the classifieds here stock only certain brands that were either built specifically for the canadian market or to work around specific laws.In most cases, this is why they have a clear frame or slide.

TM doesn't make clear guns. Ergo, you will need to work with a specialised importer in the cool part of the ASC boards.

Therefore, AV or bust.

Wantabe_Warrior June 14th, 2011 15:37

I understand the store 18+, and I'm impatient for info. To Disco_Dante thanks for the info, I've never been in the AV section so I wouldn't know.
I can't wait till I'm AV'ed, Sorry for trying to get around the rules of this site, I thought I was asking about generally speaking, I was wrong.

Thanks for the info guys.

It's alright. Just realize that we're in a precarious state right now. So please try to follow what we as a self governing community have established and don't try to rock the boat. It could get better but likely it will get worse because the odds are seriously stacked against us.

With a teen on the island having been arrested at gunpoint because he was carrying an airsoft pistol and some concerned citizen called the police. With that kind of media exposure (especially on the island) it just can't be good for airsoft period.

Wantabe_Warrior June 15th, 2011 00:14

I understand. Is it acceptable if I ask stupid questions here, and not do stupid things in real life?

HKGhost June 15th, 2011 00:34

This is the Newbie Tank. You can ask whatever you want but nothing regarding importing, buying or getting guns. You'll have access to that information once you're AV'ed.

surebet June 15th, 2011 02:06

Also just because we can't make fun of you doesn't mean we won't make fun of you. ASC members have an uncanny knack for going all internet detectives and sniff out tall tales.

M4A1lover June 19th, 2011 20:38

Wow when did that happen L437ncy!?
