Parents going to Japan

[Shrapnel[Op-For]]

Shortly, my parent will be going on a trip to japan, but i am not sure where they will be spending most of there time. I was just wondering, is there anything in japan, airsoft wise, that i should think about asking them to pick up for me? Not guns, or things that cant be imported, but scopes, rails, (mags?) that would be a bargin, or hard to find here that would be a good idea to get. Thanks!

Hm, I think you should ask yourself whether your parents are capable of hunting down the parts you need. For example, I personally wouldn't trust my parents to find any airsoft parts for me, as I could as for a set of v3 gears and end up with a set for v6 or something.

Even worse, they could pick a part that is prohibited and try to bring that back... then "surprise".

That's another reason to patiently wait until you are 18+... you can then do all of that yourself.

I know you managed to be able to play in BC at 16, so why not have your parents order stuff from a Canadian Retailer? It's a much safer option for you and more importantly for them.

Don't buy scopes, sights, etc in Japan. They are a hell of a lot more expensive than they are here in Canada. I see TASCO RDS's in various shops (the same you'd see in Canadian Tire for $30) selling for $120.

The only real thing that's a lot cheaper would be the guns themselves and magazines, but good luck getting those across the border without fucking up your parents criminal record.

No, no, i was just thinking of things that are cheaper, and hard to find that would be good to get in japan. I can order things from a canadian retailer, my dad is ok with helping me with that. And i dont think i will have the chance, to go to japan for quite some time..

I would do what greylocks says and just keep it inside canada, because now adays even having a magazine will screw you, let alone anything that looks like it belongs on a weapon might set off some alarms in airports. People are touchy.

Ok thanks guys, thats would definetly be the safest thing to do.

Internal parts I guess

Pretty much the only thing you'd be able to buy is internal parts. The stuff that you should stock up on are things like shims, buckings, and hop-ups, small parts that you may have to replace. These items are cheap to get in Japan relative to here.
