I know you can import these items for airsoft however these parts are meant for realsteel, am I gonna have any CBSA/import problems?
thanks

shouldnt have any problems with CBSA,
however they might not ship out side of USA, because of export resistriction, however i dont know details of whats allowed during the export resistriction or if the US customs would even check

when I ordered my magpul ranger plates, I had a hard time trying to find a US store that would ship to canada,

Rail systems are fine to import...can't say for sure, but if it's coming from the US they could have problems exporting it, though. The US gov't has been putting all kinds of restrictions on the export of "assault weapon accessories" for a while now. Best to ask them if they can ship to Canada beofre whelling out any dough.

Alternatively ordering from somewhere that doesn't have ITAR export restrictions would make your quest a lot easier. (Read: EB Banned, EHobby, Redwolf, etc.)

Note: CBSA won't have a problem with this stuff (unless it's a restricted/prohibited item) it's US Border Protection and ITAR regs that prevent export of such items out of country.

I can't see your bipod getting snagged. Since it could be for a hunting rifle or anything really, however the rail system is probably going to get snagged since it's an accessory for a "military grade assault rifle".

Man that sucks.

the bipod is made specifically for galil's and fits into a special groove in the barrel so it is for an assault rifle. god thats stupid, theres no accessories for airsoft galils. I have ordered rails for airsoft guns from american sites like evike, but theres a problem if its made for its real steal counterpart even though both are probably made of the same material and quality...man I never though of the day american import laws would get in my way.



ok so heres another question. anyone ever mount a rail on an airsoft Galil SAR bfore? do Ak rails work? what rails work on this gun?
