whufee

hi, i found this ebay store based in US selling its AEG [VFC HK 416] for only 295Euro, and i asked he if he could ship thoes AEG to EU, this is from his reply

''Yes, I can. I will send you an invoice with different shipping options and if you like it you can let me know. I am shipping out two of these guns monday morning to denmark and britan.

Thanks,

I don't know anything about that store but 295 Euro is a good price. About $400. It goes for $500 on some places. Since it's a U.S. store you might want to make sure it won't have a red tip.

It says in the description that it will be shipped with an orange tip. It also says it fire at 350 fps with .2g BBs.

wht happened if it goes with red tip?

Fiach Dubh

That AEG fires at about 325 fps with .2's not 350 fps. Unless it's upgraded they are overstating the power like many sites do. Nothing will happen with the red tip, it just looks rotten and isn't a legal requirement in Ireland.

It ends up looking silly

depending on what way the red tip is done you can either take it off or paint over it, my m9 came with an orange tip, it's just sprayed on, didnt bother taking it off since it doesnt really bother me that much, but it has gotten a little scraped from use and you can clearly see the black metal underneath.

some aeg's come with an orange flash hider, which you could just take off

or.... email the store and ask them not to put on an orange tip since it's not a legal requirement in ireland

pretty sure its a legal requirement for the exportation from america though

cool, it is great deal if it only costs me less than 350euro[plus shipping] but i just worried about this shop, because none of us do any shopping with this retailer, which means no good feedback from us. and just because it on ebay, do we have any sort of protections? if they r fake.

Go through their ebay feedback and see what they have sold already

whufee

thats their feedback ''http://feedback.ebay.ie/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid=airsoft_battlefront&&ftab=FeedbackAsSeller&sspagename=VIP:feedback:3:ie''
but none of the selling goods are AEG..............most of them worth less than $50, only 1 pistol sold on 12-Mar-07 00:44
still good records ?
plz help......more suggestion plz... becos im going to buy this AEG which costs nearly $400

I dunno, its 336 euro from uncompany.com, which we've all had good experiences from (afaik), you dont have to worry about the orange tip, and the possible defacing of trademarks (not sure if they do this for exportation). Youll get a tracking number, and the postage will probably be the same (ebay sellers are notorious for exoborant postage costs imo). You might also be looking for spare mags, batteries, chargers etc, which unco have a larger selection of, Im sure.
Is all this worth 40 euro more though, not taking shipping into account? Its your money at the end of the day, you'll have to make that decision

Whats their shipping costs like?

Wossack

I paid 66 dollars for the mp7, think it got charged as a standard size/weight AEG, with those imcompetent eejits UPS. Got to ireland in 3 days (over the weekend, no probs, was impressed at ths stage), then they promptly lost it in their warehouse for another 4 days - had to go collect it in person or it would never have gotten to me

thank u so much my friend, i think i will stick with UNcom.
