Hi I'm new to the WW2 forum,

I took part in my first WW2 airsoft game last weekend and want to ask a question about buying a gun, are Gun-Fire.co.uk a good online company to buy from?

Thanks for your help,

Shiningway.

Yeah, worth noting that they are a Polish company, so expect a few extra days when ordering to allow shipping.

Never heard anything bad about Gunfire to be honest

Cannot say much about the company but welcome to the forum and WWII airsoft. Hope to see in the field again soon.

if you have a ukara etc they are great to deal with quite fast and will downgrade most times if needed :)

Ordered from them before. No problems at all. The gun even sailed through customs. Make sure you get them to write your UKARA number on the front of the packaging.

Regards,

Ralph

Still in the EU so no import although if they pick it up as a RIF they will charge you £15 for "handling fees" while they double check your UKARA number. Although I have had a 1911 come to my door with no fees etc which was a nice suprise :good:

I believe it might be illegal to import guns over one joule, so might be wise to get them to downgrade it before sending it over.

They do a downgrade service under 'technical support' for 1 pence, bit of a bargain really.
Also noticed that they have the AGM MP40 bakelite version in stock at £94.30, haven`t seen them at that price for several years.

That's bloody amazing, I'd have expected it to be at least a tenner!

The MP40 is the one I want but I can't seem to find anywhere to buy the kings arms mid cap mags to go with it!

Tiger111 in HK but shipping is more than the cost of mags.... http://airsoft.tiger111hk.com/product_info.php?currency=GBP&products_id=2646&osCsid=5618603331859db2c5ed7856cc7bc198

Yeah that's the only place I can find too but it seems a little excessive.

Already told you Tiger111 would have them in your other thread, if they are too expensive, don't buy them.......but you won't get them anywhere else in a hurry, it won't be long before they put up "restock" sign. King Arms mags will not fit SRC they will fit AGM, SRC mags are metal, and you have to turn round the plastic tops to fit AGM

Yeah I know you already told me that, it is a lot for the postage though. It was the AGM I was looking at.
