The official questions thread. V. HELP WHAT BUY - General

[QUOTE=AMD 32;23389554]Why are guns in England so damn expensive compared to America? Do we tax the shit out of them or something?[/QUOTE] They're aswell more costly here in Canada too. (Around 2-3x more.) It's because of their legallity mostly and borders.

Most of the guns I've seen in Canada were 'custom-made' in the sense that the manufacturer had to create a semi-transparent receiver or frame in order to comply with Canadian laws. I figured that's probably why they're so expensive here, along with the importing and such.

Yeah. My M14 after buying everything for it was like $800. Damn you Canada.

At least you can find an M14. If I wanted anything besides an M4-pattern rifle or a Kalashnikov, I'd have to buy it from someone that bought their gun before the law was enforced. [editline]asd[/editline] And some H&K series firearms. Not at all interested in them though.

Get age-verified on Airsoftcanada.com. Give you access to full black guns. I actually got someone to import the M14 for me. Luckily, theres a few guys that I airsoft with that are starting a film company so they will be able to get their permit to let them import guns.

I completely forgot about that.

Hate to bump, but I need an unbiased opinion on this. [url]http://www.sovietarmystuff.com/Product_246_Russian_Army_Spetsnaz_Camo_Uniform_Suit_FLORA_Patches_Sewn_PANTHER.html[/url] Would love to get that, maybe without as many patches, but I've heard mixed things about 'sovietarmystuff.com'. [editline]asdaf[/editline] Also anyone know of where I can get some AKM/74 wooden furnishings? I remember a link to a website selling Kalashnikov-type rifle parts, but I can't remember the link. [editline]asdasdaf[/editline] And possibly the 74 flashhider, if that is at all possible to find on it's own.

There's also on on [url]precisionairsoft.com[/url] for a bit more, but it's G&P so I would guarantee it being awesome.

[QUOTE=venom;23439154] And finally, where would I find an M40/M60/M68 helmet for the best price?[/QUOTE] Depending on the type of Russian loadout you're going for you can actually get away with a replica PASGT.

[QUOTE=Taepodong-2;23439266]Depending on the type of Russian loadout you're going for you can actually get away with a replica PASGT.[/QUOTE] Yeah, I would recommend faking it with a OE Tech PASGT.

[url]http://www.ebairsoft.com/ak-74-wood-kit-p-1210.html[/url] That looks perfect for what I need. The pistol grip seems a bit off, but I can work with it, and it doesn't matter much anyway. I've got this helmet lying around as well: [img]http://gyazo.com/282a53644dbcc59764e1994816b7738b.png[/img] Was planning to give it to a close friend for his loadout though.

Stain the wood darker then.

[QUOTE=FPKawaii;23439414]Stain the wood darker then.[/QUOTE] Yeah, I was planning to do that. I was thinking more about the lack of the grooves/grip on the pistol grip though. Kinda like this one: [img]http://warandgame.files.wordpress.com/2007/08/ak-74_ntw_12_92.jpg[/img] But I'm sure I've seen them without the grooves as well.

Don't be a cheapass. Get a real steel Kobra. It's worth it.

No problems what-so-ever. I hadn't seen it around the airsoft but it's pretty new it seems so I guess that makes sense. They have a contract with SPLAV at the moment and I believe they're also trying to get a contract with SPOSN. Great prices as well. [url]www.redsoldier.com[/url]

Whats the camo called that the guy with the binoculars is wearing?

[QUOTE=Fenriswolf;23439607]"Ohhh yeah that's it, right where it itches"[/QUOTE] Yeah the site is so hardcore... I mean look at those explosions. But no seriously, the site is great.

I might order from there when I'm ready for my russian/stalker loadout.

Just learned of this site as well. [url]http://www.soviet-power.com/index.php[/url] Seems legit and if so that is a pretty nice stock.
