HELP!!!
 
Hey I'm new to airsoft.. But I've looked into alot of guns and what I really really reallly want is the L96 sniper... please how can i get my hands on this... I know none of the sites ship that gun to canada... But I have to have it. There is Buyairsoft.ca but they seem to be out of order; are they? What is the penalty if I have it shipped to a friends house in the US and try to bring it over myself? Is anyone on this site planning to get some to Canada? Because I would be willing to pay... Or does anyone on the site have one for sale?

thanks alot guys... I'm sure you know how it feels when you just have to avea certain gun.

Get age verified and check out the classifieds. Pretty much the only way to do it these days...

If you take a moment to peruse this site, read the FAQ's and use the search function, all these questions will be answered grasshopper. :innocent:

You can't see it because you're not age verified. Look for an event in your area or look under Regional Representatives on the forums. Once you're age verified you'll be granted access to the wonderful world of the ASC Classified section.

This is your one free spoon feed young padawan.

If you try to bring a gun over the border, you can't just pay a fine and be on your way. They take the gun and you get fined then you go.

Jee, do you think so?

MestHead June 22nd, 2007 14:09

Yea, I do.

best case scenario, you don't get searched and you're in the clear. intermediate case scenario, well it was said in the previous posts so i won't repeat it. and worse case scenario, they take the gun, fine you, and then make you Bubba's bitch for the next year for smuggling. Not worth the risk if you ask me.

Well where the hell did all you guys, who obviously play as a hobby, get your guns??

:|!

We forged them from the fires of hell itself.
On a more serious note, up at the top is a tab that says Canadian Retailers, they should be able to get you what ever you want. 007 and A&A are the most popular, infact I'm pretty sure they are the only ones.

They either go to a store and ask for a special gun to be importing for an extra fee or buy guns that have already been imported, but since there was a major bust where customs took a large shipment of guns, only a few retailers can import guns.

Thats what I think it is.

deadmetle June 22nd, 2007 14:47

you should check amazon i think.

Ok. First, you have to be 18+ to purchase an airsoft gun. If you're not 18, forget about it. If you are 18+, then get age verified.

Second, sniping in airsoft is difficult and a pain in the ass, and really has no advantages over an AEG. Sniper rifles have only marginally better range and like 1/10th the fire rate. Talk to some of those who play as snipers (like CDN_Stalker) and they'll tell you more. Generally, it IS NOT recommended you get a sniper rifle as your first gun.

Third, there are currently 4 ways to get guns:
1) A&A Surplus
2) 007 Airsoft
3) Aimazon
4) ASC Classifieds

No penalty but you'll get free tossed salad for a few years.
