Hey, I'm heading off to Hong Kong today and i'm gonna pop into Uncompany! Just wondering would it be ok to bring back a pistol and an AEG( as long as its in the hold)? I got myself a copy of the CJB.

Depends on the policy of the airline. Should be in their small print on their website. And don't forget any connecting flights will have to be considered as well in case it's with a different airline with a different policy.

Would also need to be under 1 Joule obviously.
And you'd be well advised to check in nice and early. Plus establish what the procedure is for going through airport security. BEFORE arriving.

Personally I'd post them to myself from there. Alot less hassle in the long run. Granted the way I'm going at the moment I'd be importing a 40 ft container full of airsoft gear if I was over there LOL

Where are you staying? Kowloon or HongKong Island? Un company is on its own in Wan Chai on the Island (though there is a model shop down the road which had a few classics). The main area for airsoft is Kwan Wa Street in MongKok and there's a raft of shops both on the street and in the near by shopping arcade.

I decided to post the airsoft goods in two separate parcels to my home address in Ireland, but only one made it over. At the time the legal status of airsoft was a bit iffy so I chose not to pursue the matter.

Have fun over there

Heading off to Hong Kong
