Buying AEGs Abroad

Keggers Senior

Hey guys just wondering what needs to be done to bring an AEG back from the US.

It's a lot of hassle when you can just walk into a shop here and buy one to be honest.

Plus no blaze orange tip either.

Its alot of hassle generally, sell it and buy local Id advise.

It all comes from asia so US prices are no lower than our own, bar the weak dollar.

To be honest, I don't know how you'd go about it, perhaps post it to yourself, they don't like replica assault rifles on planes id imagine

Sending it via USPS or any courier service is really your only choice, you could in theory put it in the baggage hold of the aircraft, but you'd likely have to declare it to the airline, it depends on the individual airline's policay.

Most airlines will allow transport, but in lockable sturdy containers and with advance notice (which will cost you an additional administrative fee - probably between €15-25). Check the fine print conditions of whichever airline you're flying with for your answer. Then ring them.

Thanks for the sound advise everybody. I can see what everybody means by hassle. Just that anything thats 300 euro say at home is 300 dollars here, which is petty good for high end aegs rather than the clones. Might consider shippin it to meself.

Oh and by the way the one i found was a star FNC, like my favourist gun ever!:D

Thanks again everyone!

It is a cracking gun, I've been looking at them on Redwolf for a while but I reckon I'm gonna wait until they (or anyone) releases an AK5C variant of it. Or even a kit for that matter.

Hi Lads,
Getting aegs from hongkong or asia used to be the cheapest.like i got 2 TMs and loads of magazines from ehobby. 7aeg plus mags from rsov n gunners that include a 249. but just recently the new postal restriction of aeg upd the postal cost plus the import duty tax of orders higher than roughly 110 euro, youll end up better off with Shiva or BSFL.plus the warranty that these gentlemen offer.
