Packing Heat in the UK... Hand Ejector Style

Post by Red Dust »

Hey there everybody... i was wondering if anyone could enlighten me if us brits can get a replica gun delivered to the UK as most of the Supplyers are US... I'm looking for the Hand Ejector style but understand the export laws.

I contacted Lee Keppler but got no reply... or prehaps my E-mails not working so well, could anyone else tell me how i can get hold of one?

Thanks

No one really knows how strongly the authorities are going to police this bill but it makes sense to buy your airsoft or replica etc. THIS WEEKEND.

Don't forget to politely mention your dislike of the law to your elected representatives as well. You hobbyists and reenactors don't deserve this treatment.

The laws in Canada are the tightest when it comes to de-wats and replicas. They have just changed the de-wat law to not allow any movement of any mechanism - it's going to be very hard to conceal the welds now. It is actually easier to get the real thing-- doesn't make a lot of sense.

As much as I like the real stuff, there's a lot of places and activities where a de-wat or replica is the only safe choice, not to mention folks personal preferences about owning the real thing.

Hard to be a reenactor with an empty holster. Thanks government. :roll:

The only thing I don't like about the new Canadian De-wat laws are that the finish looks bad. I have grandfathered dewats and they are incredible. They could be used for film.
