Customs and stuff...
 
So, I'm new to Airsoft, and I'd like to buy a crappy 25 dollar gun.
I'm not too sure about customs and all that, so will they let either of these (I already know they suck, don't tell me.) through?

I'm un-aware of if they will get seized or not. If you know, please tell me so I don't waste 50 dollars on it.

Thanks ahead if anyone answers. :)

No, it will be seized.

Well, do you know what isn't seized?

Possible links to cheap sites that will pass or are Canadian based?

Since you're not age verified, you won't get any advice on that from people on this forum.

You'll have to do some searching yourself, it's not hard to find stores in Canada.

All right, well thanks anyways.

I don't know what to say ...yikes, maybe? What a way to make an impression coming into a community as a new person.

also if you only have 50$ to spend on this sport, sorry but that is no where near the starting price of any half decent airsoft guns.

first off at 18 you will be able to get age verified and have access to the restricted parts of the forum, where you will find the answers about importing.
and access to the classifieds where you will be able to purchase an AEG or GBB and gear. usually the starting price is 400$ for a gun then a few 100$ on gear and accessories, this isnt a sport for people to play around in the backyard or basement.

250$ will get you a good, starter gun that can last a long time, not 400$

RaisinBran October 2nd, 2012 19:48

Everyone these days plays games, owning a console + games is basically the price of a decent AEG.

400$ is for shipping and taxes on a brand new gun.
300$+ is usually for the classifieds.

FoxhoundNB October 2nd, 2012 20:00

No, 260+ shipping (25$ If you're somewhat local) will get you a good, reliable, sturdy CYMA. Comes to around 300$, but I was listing the price as listed so you can compare to other sites.

Can't post links here, but 400$ is a bit high

Cifyra October 2nd, 2012 20:00

Yeah under $400 including tax and shipping sounds about right. I too wish it could be lower as I'm the president of my uni's airsoft club. However, some retailers are willing to negotiate.

lurkingknight October 2nd, 2012 23:50

I had a KA m4 shipped to me for 340 or so I think... add battery and charger you're at 400.

Ricochet October 3rd, 2012 00:01

KA M4 Colt, full metal. $313 shipped to my door. Comes with a hi-cap (YUCK!). 7.4v 20c chipped lipo is $25 and $35 - $100 for a charger. $50 for box KA mags.... etc, etc. That's cheap. $500 gets you started in the "right" direction.

Oh, I have enough to spend on one, I was just being a cheap bastard.

But yeah, I understand the whole not playing in backyards and such.
