Thank you sir HW777.

I hope I will enjoy my stay here. I am into airgunning but CO2 is the propellant. I want to shift and experience the PCP that's why I found this forum. I will check on other threads and I am sure I will learn some ideas about PCPs and other stuffs about airgunning hobby. My pleasure sir for your warm welcome! :wink:

Welcome to the forum. If I read this correctly you have a friend in Fort Mac that would be willing to buy and ship you some Airgun parts? Not much for parts available in Mac. But Eric may be able to help you and your friend out

You've got it right sir scruffie. I asked a favor of my friend about Leapers scope and mini pressure gauge. My friend is not into this hobby and no idea about where to order on my request. :(

Btw, thanks for the warm welcome sir.

Thank your for the references sir jgoodz420. I will inform my friend about this.

I believe that will not fly...Due to the newer laws on the American side

Sir jgoodz420, that was also I am thinking of.


Sir voltar1, yes sir I am from PI. Sad to say, there are lots of clone products here. Good optics will contribute also the accuracy in long range precision. Some hobbyist here order their stuff outside PI. Since new law implemented in Continental US, its hard for us to obtain a genuine optics which is money worth.

Welcom Rom.

I see, you have the same issues as we north of the 49th. Seems the USA cannot ship 'sniper' grade optics to us.

So your friend should be able to purchase what you wish here in Canada.

Good luck with your quest.

BTW are you familiar with the PI airgun forum?
some good guys there.

Also do you know anything of Filarms? or JBC? is it possible to send stuff out of the PI?

I think sir my friend will turn off my request upon learning this new law implemented by US. What a very sad news for us.. :cry:

Yes sir, I have read also some forums about PI airgunning. As far as I know, Filarms was a closed shop. They have also good airguns but I think it was not managed properly by the owner/owners. JBC is very popular gunshop in PI. Waiting time is very looooong, maybe a year or more if you will take an order from them. They have so many customers I think. JBC also able to produce multi-shot airgun inspired from Marauder.

There are also small players who are into PCP making like Mario Muli of Pasig, Pepe of Marikina, Manlapat of Pampanga and Pepe of Davao.

I have no idea if they can export their products sir. Maybe because of the hassle permits here in PI the reason why they did not attempt to cater overseas customers.
