I've ordered an rifles from evike and ehobby. My experience with both were ok-smooth. Both companies included papers documenting the fps (>366fps) and both were opened by customs (held for 2-3 days).

Expect to be charged around 25% in duties. You may get lucky and they just let you through, but I doubt it if they declare your package truthfully.

Accessories/Gear is just like anything else you'd buy off eBay. Some people say foam filled suppressor and fake cartridges in your mags are a no-no, but they didn't seem to mind when they opened up my packages.

All things considered, if I were to decide between HK or USA I would pick HK. Better selection from Asian retailers and no orange tip. Trademarks also seem to be less of an issue in Asia, so that's a plus if you're into it.

Buuut, if a Canadian retailer has it for just a bit more, buy local !
