Airsoft Gun Parts From U.S.
 
I already know that if you buy any airsoft guns from the U.S., they won't make it across the border (slim chance). But do you think they would allow a body replacement set for an Airsoft Gun? This one in particular - http://store.matrixbb.com/servlet/-s...dy-Set./Detail

I ask this because I heard that you can still receive parts/accessories from U.S. shops.

Thanks for any help.

Turd April 12th, 2008 12:29

not that one in particular i bet, im pretty sure they seize bodies as well, also silencers, and mags with fake bullets in it among other things

surebet April 12th, 2008 12:42

I wouldn't, it's basicly these parts that are prohibited.

Look around for a more detailed list, but bodies and mags with bullets in them (like the G36 mags) are a no go.

thats the butchering of a perfectly good armalite:(

Dusti69 April 12th, 2008 14:08

i thought it was just a body conversion kit at first cuz it looks like its just an m4 underneath.....could somebody please tell me what the lipoly is?

TokyoSeven April 12th, 2008 14:11

Looks like somthing from the seburo series.
However this one looks likes its based off an armalite. Ugly as shit though.

surebet April 12th, 2008 14:12

li-poly battery

Dusti69 April 12th, 2008 14:16

yea i just googled it i got batteries and microchip looking things and things i couldnt tell what they were
why couldnt they just say battery or lipoly battery? wish they showed a pic of what battery it takes

Qlong April 12th, 2008 14:26

Wow, that is a lot of plastic crap.

Dusti69 April 12th, 2008 14:47

it says its 400fps AND its a mid range rifle. how is 400 fps stock a mid range rifle? holy crap

surebet April 12th, 2008 15:13

"ranges" are more concerned about the overall quality of the build.

Shitsoft can easily reach mind boggling velocities, but does it do it consistently without exploding after a few mags?

Dusti69 April 12th, 2008 15:15

well its a star. ive been previously told that star is one of the top 3 airsoft manufacturers so i would have to trust it not to suddenly stop working like the fuckin BE sl-8 i bought which im still waiting for my ca gearbox for in it to get here

metallicaz83 April 12th, 2008 15:23

Do you think this airsoft gun body would make it to Canada? http://www.airsoft-war4.com/photos/200602097337-S.jpg

surebet April 12th, 2008 15:31

Body=no go.

That thing is not a STAR, it's a JG.

Dusti69 April 12th, 2008 15:43

hm... evike had it listed as a star .......why would they do that?
isnt it possible that more than one company makes the gun? or is it so new that its exclusive still?

surebet April 12th, 2008 15:55

Because evike is a bad company...?

Seriously, search around, they have a less than stellar track record.

Daiviet April 12th, 2008 16:01

whatever it is underneath, be it star or jg, the body kit is made by poseidon http://www.poseidon.co.jp/2F/ika/ika_1.html, conversion kit for the M4. I personally think its ugly as poo how evike has chosen to take pictures of it. Poseidon makes it look much better.

Dusti69 April 12th, 2008 16:03

i actually like it. but then you all think every gun i like is ugly. oh well, i think the forward grip on it looks comfortable like on a p90
at least its not a BE plasto-gear

+1 For evike being trash.

Dusti69 April 12th, 2008 16:39

evike's ebay pages arent bad lookin. i didnt have any problems when i bought 10000 .2g bbs off them for 23 bucks.
now airrattle. i dont like that store. the guy pumps up the fps's on all the guns by something like 50 fps. yea he has good deals but the guns are all overhyped with the "rips ammo through the air" line. rips ammo through the air at what? 200 fps huh? i dont think so.
oh yea and the jerk wont answer any of your questions about a damn thing

metallicaz83 April 12th, 2008 18:20

Can a complete Gearbox be imported to Canada without it being seized? For example: http://store.matrixbb.com/servlet/-s...nforced/Detail

surebet April 12th, 2008 18:23

Probably, thought you can find boxes in Canada. Ask Huang about what he carries.

metallicaz83 April 12th, 2008 18:37

Ok thanks, but is anyone sure that you can get gearboxes from the U.S.?
And also, does Evike.com ship to Canada?

surebet April 12th, 2008 18:41

Yes, for insanely inflated prices.

Edit: Nothing is sure with airsoft and related parts, boxes have already been seized. Hell, screws have been seized!

Edit2: http://www.airsoftcanada.com/showthr...982#post692982

Dusti69 April 12th, 2008 18:43

youre probly looking for a g36 gearbox arent you?
if a gearbox would make it over the border you can try checking out this guys ebay store.
http://stores.ebay.com/Warthers-Originals
i bought a CA g36 gearbox from him for 80 dollars u.s. he might have more

a screw? seriously? why the hell would they seize a screw??
were they afraid they might get screwed or that somebody might assemble some random object?

shit balls. sounds pretty familiar.....hope that dont happen to me

metallicaz83 April 12th, 2008 23:19

So does Evike.com ship to Canada?

TokyoSeven April 12th, 2008 23:27

I believe they do, and I believe they rape on shipping as well.

a week is good ive gone a month before without an answer from retailers fastest reply ive ever gotten from a retailer tho was shootsoft.ca who got back to me in less then 24 hours

bbchiller April 13th, 2008 17:30

I was on redwolf this afternoon, and I wanted to order some stuff like mag pouches, sling, sling swivels etc etc. what exactly (now that we are on the topic of importing) can we bring in? they have other stuff on there too I would like but dont think I can bring in. or i guess the better question is what cant I bring in.

that walthers originals guy i guess he doesnt do business very well.
the guy replied to my questions about the ca gearbox in mere hours for several days and when i asked him about the g36 hop up i was gonna buy too he told me hed walk me through it and he told me he was sending me an extension wire with my gearbox for free. and all that crap sounds pretty familiar with what was written in the thread in the link posted and im just like .....shiiiit.
i went to his ebay store to view his profile and the guy has over 1800 positive feedbacks. i read quite a few of the negative and neutral feedbacks and theyre all bascially the same things which is worrysome. but then i look at how many positives he has and hope im not one of the few that gets screwed over by him. i got a laugh out of the person who simply wrote "bastard" at the end of his negative feedback.
