5) Duties/Taxes $59

TOTAL = $266.97 (US) $275 (CND)



Now for those of you that complain about the quality of clearsoft here is a review from Redwolf which states that overall the is a good and in some respects a better gun than a Marui (functionally better but the finish is better on a Marui);

http://www.redwolfairsoft.com/redwol...l?prodID=19167

Essentially I got a semi competitive, quality AEG for a grand total of $275. I am very happy with the way it performs and I love the way the paint scheme turned out. This gun will not be used in a game because im only a collector/plinker of airsoft so I decided to paint it the very cool looking Urban Camo.

Chrony it yet?

I dont have a chrony but it shoots easily through both sides of a pop can. I think that Redwolf's chrony of 340 fps on this gun is more than accurate. The mag also feeds flawlessy and with the 9.6v battery it has a faster than average rate of fire.

I did have to change out the stock 15A fuse for a 30A.

Evike.....great.....you actually got your stuff? Interesting.

its clearsoft, why wouldn't he?

Cause it's Evike. And I've heard/seen bad things on ASC.

I've ordered from evike a number of times (probably 3) and never had any issues. I always recieved my orders.

Wait wait wait, you're telling me customs actually let this through!? Man, if they let that through, that is a good deal and I might buy one. Think you just got lucky, or is it cause it's clearsoft that it got through?

Crapsoft sometimes makes it through. I would think *usualy* it should... but then again how come they cost $300 here when they cost $100 in the US...

"does not have a Marui compatible magazine, the BOYI metal gear box m4 have extreme bad quality control"

copied from the page you linked. For $100 more you can get a JG in canada with no need for paint and more metal and without the issues that will come up with that thing.

One point worth considering guys, since hes going on looks and plinking base results only, without fielding one, how will you actualy know if your getting something worth your money? Comes back to the spend the little extra for something proven quality and standards.

Looks good as a wall hangee tho.

It's a legitimate concern, since past CITT rulings indicates that they believe that shape trumps (lack of) colour in terms of importance in whether something's a replica or not.

Didn't even know AIM made clear M4s. I think you should exclude the prices of the accessories, though.

Do you read at all? It was comparing that gun to other guns on the market, saying it's better than them.

So is this gun compatible with TM M4A1 mags or not?? If it is I think that this would be a great entrance level gun and might be interested in getting one for myself, just for shits and giggles.

guns with or without metal bodies? lol
how compatible is it with standard upgrade parts?
how reliable is it compared to marui? (some marui guns can run for 3 years no issues before breaking down)
the cost is certainly a plus for noobs, lessens the economical blow when you decide you need an upgraded gun with a metal body.

Should have bought from Blazingtoys. They ship to Canada.

$39.99, and mostly black.

yeah that site is just worded really bad, I see now but still the JG option is still a better deal. If your looking for a bang for buck deal.

It says it's a TM clone, so yes.

My buddy ordered clearsoft from them in the summer -didn't make it through customs.

Did he go through the appeal process once it was seized?

He has "Duties/taxes: $59"

Means the customs checked it

You Fail.

=(?

Clearsoft guns will make it through the border defintily(as long as they have an orange tip). I have ordered a number of full metal guns from the U.S. and they seem to make it over fine. It's usually very random when they search packages.

Also fail.

That just means the declared value on the package was taxed does not mean it was opened. This is an example of a constructive post not just fail which explains nothing.

That's the WELL R6, it's a piece of shit compared to the AIM. A friend of mine had that version, and it's not 100% TM Compatible. The lower receiver and stock/buffer tube are something else of it's own.

Here's the clear version of the AIM M4 OEM by Team SD: http://www.blazingtoys.com/products/btsderaim01t.html They are selling it for the same price.

As for clearsoft making it through, if you check the CFC I believe it states that clear guns must be significantly smaller in size, but it goes on a case by case basis, again it's up to the officer opening your package to determine whether or not it's going to make it through or not. You could try to appeal it but you'd probably lose as these are all 1:1 in size.

Thats not what I'm referring to, thats not an "obvious" thing that one would just say FAIL to, instead of an explanation.

I was talking about kalnaren's post. He said his buddy ordered from another website, that I posted in this thread, and it didn't make it through. This has nothing to do with the original post.

Fair enough, although I doubt its that much worse then the one in the first post. From what I remember (when I read about the R6 when it came out), internally it was fine as a clone, externally the plastic wasn't very good. But the way I see it, clear plastic is clear plastic. At least this one has more black on it, and is less then half the price.

Naw, he didn't bother. He just had it returned to sender.

Wait so, one can have it returned without destruction? Thus, the only risk is losing shipping cost?

Yea I think that's what happened.

The CBSA has already ruled on this issue internally and the CFC is behind them on this: If the receiver is clear, or the whole gun for that matter, then it is not considered a replica. If it's opaque, or a colour other than clear, they may well consider it a replica. Guns significantly smaller than the real thing, regardless of colour are also not considered replicas. This means a 4/5 scale gun would be a replica, but a 1/3 or 1/4 scale would not. That's why you see them at Crappy Tire and Wal-Mart. They've done their research on this I assure you.

Red tip means nothing officially, as a red tip could be applied to a real gun. But if a cop says it should have one, who are we to argue?

This thread is relevant to my interests. I know someone who wants to play and needs a simple skirmish gun for CQB.

you can get these from buyairsoft i bought one for what i could say is the internals were good but the plastic body was terrible, after 2 weeks the top rail which holds the carry handle broke stright off which messed every thing up:( but a simpl metal m4 boddy would be fine.

well, I just phoned the CBSA. a clear airsoft gun is NOT A REPLICA

did you even read Macguyver's post 3 posts above your?

Last thread I hijacked was trashed (shit thread to begin with)

I'm wondering if I order a clear bolt action sniper rifle if I'll have trouble, I've heared something about even if it's all clear because something to do with the bolt it wont pass customs...

(Save me the clear is shit shpiel, I'm buying this as a cheap plinker.. My real ASG shoots far too hard to be shooting cans in my house)

Then why did the clear MP5 my buddy ordered get siezed eh?

God help us, not another thread....

HA... my friend bought 6 airsoft guns off that same store.. no problems whatsoever... :rolleyes:

i thought you were banned

you can think??? :O :O

haha yea i was wrong ..i was thinking of another guy who posted a similar thread to your original one ..he got banned my bad


sry

OO LOL my bad :( i shud read the entire thread more carefully :banghead: :oops:

Is there no affordable way to puchase guns without having to hope that customs doesn't have a strong enough itch to check your package.

none that i can name off the top of my head or any that i have heard of ...

I think someone in a similar thread in the FAQ section said that it involved a lot of teflon and placing the gun somewhere VERY uncomfortable...

To be honest, looking locally or checking the clasifieds once age verification has gone through is the cheapest, safest way. I'm not verified yet, but I'll vouch for the system.

dont order from EVIKE.COM they will screw you guys over. they'll take you money then they'll say its back order or they'll send you guys the wrong parts. They did it to me and a whole bunch of people. You can even google it "evike on back orders", youll see a whole bunch of people complaining. They didnt have the orings for my mag, so they sent me the wrong one a huge one, because they dont wanna do a refund. They think people are stupid. Karma will bite their ass

Damn! Your just three years too late!

lol and a double post too :)

I placed an order through evike. Not only did it take a month and a half to get here, but they sent me the wrong parts and they won't give me my money back until I pay for return shipping and sender shipping. ($80 us).

Yea but even if its clear you still can get it seized.

BTW there's also anothe choice, have it upgrade into the category uncontrolled firearms.

look at the date it was posted dude... someone necro'd this.

Never buy from Evike should just be stickied at the top of the newbie forum. Evike is decent if you are in the U.S.

Otherwise, avoid like the plague.
