Because the replicas sold by HK are illegal in the UK. The ones sold here must be coloured in such a way as not to be confused with the real thing

Go tell the Crown Prosecution Service that - from their website "From 1 October 2007, section 36 Violent Crime Reduction Act 2006 created an offence to manufacture, bring into or cause to be brought into Great Britain, or sell realistic imitation firearms. It also made it an offence to modify an imitation firearm to make it realistic.

The greater proportion of Airsoft stock in HK is illegal here. They aren't going to import some of that and have all the hassle of explaining to HMRC that what they are bringing in falls under the legal definition. They choose NOT to import any Airsoft products and that's their choice. It's simple economics. If you want to order Airsoft products, you have to get them from Hong Kong and then you have the job of getting them cleared as imports

You really don't get it do you? They are not going to import spare parts for something that's illegal to be imported or sold

dude if it can not be sold how the hell is it that i import and sell airsoft guns from hk all the time ie guns parts etc
how do you think the sport is so alive in the uk
come back when you know the law and have your own business cos clearly you dont know the first thing about the vcra act or retail in the uk my question was meant for someone with a little bit of brain power clearly you have none so i advise you shut up and learn what your taking about then just before you write something think you cant answer my question you avoided it so shut the damn hell up you little keyboard commando and go play with your self !!!!
