Airsoft in London

theliam

Im in london until tomorrow evening (sunday) and im just wondering if anyone knows of any walk-in stores in the area worth a visit or any at all?

Wolf Armouries is in Camden. I keep meaning to find the place whenever I'm over there. It's a little out of the way.

Yep. I originally thought it would be close enough to Camden town. Tried to figure out where it was on a map and gave up quite quickly.

ive found it on google maps, looks simple enough to find once you know the way. only problem is that alot of their stuff on the site is out of my price range.

anything a bit more central? my google searches havent been much help...

You considering buying something there and bringing it back? More hassle than it's worth to be honest. Go to Wolf and have a look at the stock in person. If you like anything then buy it from an Irish/Chinese when you get home.

That's the only store I know of in London I'm afraid.

was mildly considering it, im over for the scuba diving show but though id venture off and have a browse but just remembered the newish rules for buying airsofts (or so i picked up on from one site).

really i should just wait till eirsoft have the DE ump. thatll make me happy:)

I don't think anyone in the UK can just walk off the street and buy an AEG or GBB without the proper membership ID anymore. You can only buy AEGs and GBBs that are over 60% in an unrealistic colour, ie high viz green, orange and red which wolf stocks.

Oh yeah! The VCRB. Even more of a reason to forget about buying anything over there.

and if you getting a gun you'll have to buy a funny coloured one coz of all that regulation cr*p.,


EDIT: im a bit slow on the uptake today.,:D

It will. Have to say, best value AEG I've yet to come accross. Well, maybe the JG G36C tops it but barely.

Affraid they the only proper showroom in town...

Wolfs is easy to find from camden... head out the road towards Manor House or Finsbury Park then turn right opposite the BTP station...

As for buying stuff... they can't sell them straight over the counter as mentioned, but they can send them back home for you...

Bear in mind Wolf is a little bit expensive so it is a good idea to have a look and feel of what they got, then buy it back home... They do have a lot of accessories, gear and holsters though....

Wolf Armouries is easy enough to find. Get off the tube at Camden Town, on the 'Black Northern line' it's about a five minute walk from there.

It's great actually going in to the showroom, I spent a good 2 hours in there handling the AEG's.
Great little pub on the corner too, if you have to leave to mull over a purchace and come back!
It's what got me interested in Airsoft.

Oops, just realised it's Sunday you're going.
As far as I know, they're closed Sundays!
