Model Guns From Japan or HK etc.

If i was to order a gun from japan or hk from shops like dentrinity etc how long do they take to arrive

Pretty good from payment about a week. It takes a few days to process your order and confirm payment, takes a couple of days to arrive at customs and then its down to customs and how long they keep it for, then for the delivery company to sort themselves out. Its this end where the delay is but about a week to 10 days.

Don't forget about the taxes in the UK when ordering these

Well I've received orders from GnG within three days of paying

Just for clarification- you do not automatically get taxed, it's like a lottery

Hi Gary,

I have ordered just one item from Endoshoji (a rare Marushin M16 30 round magazine) they seemed to be a good place but i think that their prices are not that good and their shipping cost is not that good either! They never responded to any of my emails to them either...But, they offer some nice modelguns that are usually hard to find anywhere else on the net. So, i guess that they aren't too bad so, they are worth dealing with if you don't mind spending a little more money After all, it's just money right?

I agree with mark on endoshiji, they have never replied to any of my emails even though they say they will order parts and any model you want.
They seem fine when ordering through the site though, i picked up another USP a while ago as it was on special offer and that came through fine and also a metal kokusai python as the prices for them are good compared to here,that also came through fine.

As mark says though there prices for most models is very high, for instance the new 45 trust is over $300 which means with P+P you might as well buy from over here. i only buy from abroad when i am saving a significant amount of money, or its a rare model.

There 2nd hand guns do go quick again suprising considering how expensive they are but i to keep a regulare check just in case something really interesting and a must hav turns up.

Nice purchase by the way, i know have an MGC folding stock pump and its great fun and yes it's as loud as you boys said. If i was going to pick up another shotty i think it would be the trench gun, it does look good

Hi claymore,

Yes, i have asked endoshoji about many parts etc. and i thought that they would reply to at least one of my emails but nooooo....I did notice in their used submachinegun section a great deal on the Hudson Madsen for $350 now that is a great deal! Anyway, endoshoji occasionally has a good deal or two from time to time but their shipping prices usually spoil the deal...

i have had the same problem with endoshoji not replying to emails,but i can speak highly of ww11guns in japan,very good service as i have just received my shoei pfc fg42 .shoei certainly live up to their reputation,this gun is very well made and functions superbly.the only gripe is i only got five cartridges with it but i did get two mags and a sling.if anyone can source some carts for me you will go straight to the top of my best friend list.

well.it would seem the "review" of endoshoji is crap customer service ....... overpriced ..... but reliable ..... and have some good rare modelguns evry now and then

cool gun jay .bet that set you back a few quid ! ...... what type of carts does it take ???

*** Originally posted by jay851 ***




hi gary
the fg42 is an outstanding gun and well worth the 'large' amount of money i shelled out for it. unfortunately i got stung for import tax but it seems to be a bit of a lottery whether you get hit or not. the carts are 11mm diameter x 73mm long with a long firing pin inside with a seal on,but they have discontinued them so i may have to make some at work on a cnc lathe. any news on the mp18 yet.

hey jay.bit of a bummer that ........ how much was the import tax ?

the carts sound similar to m16 carts ...... or perhaps a rifle cart ..... but what would i know

as far as my mp18 is concerned ..... well..didnt show today ......so seems like its monday ! ...not a bad start to the week i guess

*** Originally posted by jay851 ***




yeah,they got me for 74 quid including parcelforce's 13.50.the fg42 carts are almost the same as shoei's g43 carts but they are 77mm long so i might be able to shorten them. that will be a great way to start the week with a mp18 on your doorstep,40 rounds of full auto heaven.are the carts hard to get hold of,i have'nt seen them advertised anywhere.
