Nitroball is correct !! Grant = Shootinropez has just got himself into buying and loving his Bob Long Victory and it is thinking of what he can do to help anybody else out there on these guns.
as Nitroball has said , It really does work out cheaper when buying from a UK dealer for everything ?? however Sponsors can`t carry everything in stock, they try, but not everything.
It also keeps paintball flowing within here the UK

it was more just a chance to get some second hand gear a bit cheaper. To be honest, i don't want to bring back ANY BNiB items because they are charged customs/taxes as soon as you get to a UK airport. I should've stated that in my original post. I will also get any stuff thats not available in the UK, but if it is BNIB i will open it before coming back here otherwise again, more import taxes etc.if this is not in conjuction with forum rules, my post can be removed, i do not want to start any arguments and certainly not be in trouble with the mods.
I will be buying myself a G6R and i just wanted to try and help some other paintball community members.
@deaallen i can do that, again if its used one you want

@Care_Bears actually Bluey, this is Luke, not Grant lol

You don't get charged mate. Every time we go to the states we take a separate suitcase just to bring back electronics and stuff. Done it 4 times now and not once have we had to pay anything. When we bought back a couple of markers we had to fill out some paperwork and declare them, but thats because they're firearms.

@Care_Bears Cheers Bluey!!
@magicmonkey well i've had some friends bring back some brand new stuff and they've been charged for customs revenue etc. Plus i think the laws change if you're brining back a value of something etc.
And actually, they're not firearms. If they were, they'd be a lot harder to get a hold of. You would have to have a FAC (firearms certificate) which can take months to apply for. you'd also have to lock them in a safe at home.

Perhaps they were all like "hey we're taking back a bunch of stuff to sell" lol. Honestly though mate, we never asked and have never been pulled up on it.
Definitely had to fill out paper work for markers and they had to be inspected by someone.

Things change though, not been over there in the last 5 years.
