I see from the SAAA magazine that NSW has changed gun laws to ban belt fed firearms
No body has one of those anyway 
Just shows how retarded this nonsense is in the first place
That was part of the federal import ban thing too, specifically calling out belt fed firearms, had the same reaction as Maiphut, who dafaq has one of those?.. Outside of military.
I posted that on 14 Jan 2026 saying that the Australian custom is banning red dot sights and scopes into Australia. Even if you order them through airsoft seller in Hong Kong or DHgate in China. They will be turn back before they got onto a flight to Australia. I order one red dot sight on DHgate from China. It is now turned back to the seller in China by Chinese customs. You can still buy scope mount accessories on Aliexpress. This is the true spoken by the guy at Octagon airsoft Hong Kong. I don’t know about vests and pouches.
Well this is true, beside the ones Lithgow make the rest ADF have to import to keep the DF thing going. Might join myself so I can play with toys 
Mates son is keen as 16, got him a bit of advice from my vet Uncle. Went well, great young lad and will do well. It’s what he wants to do. Go for it.
I just had a plate carrier and chest rig clear customs from UK for Military1st. Doubt they’re cracking down on gear. Just “firearm” parts.
Yeah I was having another look last night and vests and pouches were showing up again and was allowing me to order.
Maybe something happened over there that was stopping them from shipping.
What I found out years ago whilst doing my Gelblaster side business was that Customs/Border Force has a database that lists all of the overseas businesses that they have had prior issues with the importation of Gelblaster/Airsoft or Firearm items being shipped/imported into Australia.
This way ANY packages that arrive in Australia from any of those retailers are automatically seized and inspected.
I found a couple of retailers in the UK that were able to send me stuff, but that was after contacting them and ensuring that they didn’t mention Airsoft in ANY of their shipping declarations or business names.
I can’t imagine how extensive this list is these days compared to when I was doing business, but no doubt that there’s very few overseas retailers left that don’t Red Flag packages that arrive here.
