If you're over 18 years old...get Age Verified and check out the retailers and classifieds. There's lots of stuff there.

If you're over 18, check out the local games section. Get out to a game and talk it up with the guys there...if you ask nicely and don't drool on them, most guys will be happy to show you what's what and give you pointers.

Otherwise, only clear bodied rifles will be allowed into Canada if you order from out of country.

I am a newbie and starting to get into this airsoft game as my brother plays it back in the Philippines. I never get a chance to play it back there so I am starting here in Toronto, Canada. I guess I have to get verified soon...

Thanks for the info!!!

To buy guns in canada is a huge pain in the ass. I want to know if there are any problems in canadian law that prevent me from buying a bunch of upgrades together from an AMERICAN SITE and assembling them myself. I'm pretty handy and have disassembled and reassembled numerous guns so this isn't a problem. If your still not getting what I be saying, imma break it down for you real quick. I'm going to buy a metal reciever, crane stock, crane stock battery, front assembly, grip, motor, gearbox, hop-up and inner barrel all from Evike, then building it myself. Will there be any problems at the border, or do you see any flaw in my plan whatsoever? Also, any suggestions on a cheaper american site to buy these parts from? Thank you for any help!

The issue is with the reciever, which is a restricted for import part.

You can import a lot, but the only way you'll get the critical parts is through age verification

scottyfox · November 29th, 2009, 20:14

Also search "evike" for their track record in customer service and issues shipping via UPS to Canada.

It's only a huge pain in the ass if you're under 18...

I have no problem getting any gun I've ever wanted providing I've had the money.

And the metal reciever is illegal to import.|
Also not every brand will fit together like cake, some brands don't fit well with others.

You're best bet is to wait till you are 18 and get age verified, then you can get anything you want.
If you want to play, demonstrate maturity and respect.
Then maybe, just maybe you'll be allowed to play.

If you already apparently own a gun that sits in your lap, why bother with more headache?

huh.. how tragic.

as i've said and now becoming quite rediculously repetative (with all respect) i cannot get 'AV'ed' there is no one in my area that does it.. everyone is beyond my reach .. 4 hours is the shortest distance.. 9 is the longest..

well i don't neccisarily want a full metal gun, i recognize how bitchen' that would be; but i wouldn't mind a nice looking gun.
VA has some really nice gun's so does 007 and i know there are more out there, in my list i have about 10 places i have baught or want to buy from.
luckily i'm a bit of a pac-rat so when i was into in a few years back i never delted any of my contacts or connections.
but i know for a fact that there are more out there.. more wonderful canadian legal airsoft companies waiting for me to blow my happy load.
