Getting Brocock AG parts from the UK ?? Why so hard?

[ShootingNewB]

Anyone know an avenue for getting parts that are not available here in the US but that are available from the UK?

I found a supplier in the UK for some magazines, but they don't offer US shipping so they can't / won't sell them to me. Anyone found a way to deal with this?

Thanks in advance!

There are companies in England that carry English Air Gun parts that do ship to the USA.

It took about 4-6 weeks to get here=CA.

Order from the Czech Republic took about 6-7 weeks,

China 2months; Though I had an order get to my door in 5days...5days!! from China..DSL all the way...

When I google air gun parts some English companies are listed and they do ship to the USA.

Thanks. Yeah I've tried everything I can think of with no luck. I find it odd that a company like Brocock doesn't make parts more available to us customers. 

There's got to be a way.

Have you tried this company?

@MaineJim. Yes, while they do have a lot of parts, they don't carry magazines for the S6 for some reason. Not sure why as they have many other accessories for it.

Try the CARM mags..they are better than the stock one....I have quite a few different ones.

I forget if they are out of Hungary or what...takes 6 to 8 weeks to get them.

Also AOA had some.....ask here or google CARM magazines.

Look around, some shops do ship to US. Sadly it certainly isn’t easy and that’s why I don’t particularly like to own UK made guns, just getting a small part is a big hassle and cost a bunch for shipping if I can find them. Great guns but lots of hassle.

China is across the Pacific Ocean. California is on the other side of the Pacific Ocean. It makes sense for you to receive items from there arriving in San Francisco/Oakland or Los Angeles/Long Beach ports or airports before customers in other states or regions. The UK is in the Atlantic Ocean. Goods are likely shipped to and arrive in NY/NJ (air or sea) or Altanta (air), and maybe Florida or New Orleans (I don’t know all of the eastern ports). From these points are transported to regional distribution centers via or for ground transportation (truck and/or train) to their destinations. Factor in how slow transport has been for domestic shipping these days and some of the longer transit times make sense. When items that arrive swiftly from other European countries and companies I assume they arrive via air through a network with regular traffic between the points of origin and destinations, but I honestly don’t know.

I wish I knew the answer. I suspect part of the reason may be to create a dependence by limiting access to goods. Availability also affects a product’s value, another factor that that affects pricing or can be used to justify it. I have no sold proof, it’s mere speculation.

Agreed... and yeah I have a number of CARM mags for my other rifles, but he doesn't make this one sadly.

While I absolutely LOVE the rifle, there a few of these nuances that are quite annoying, specially given today's global market economy.

Gratefully, some kind AG enthusiast from the UK may have a solution; we're checking into that now. Thank heavens for the AGN!!

@ShootingNewB You may also want to call Airguns of Arizona and ask them. I have had luck finding some Brocock components dealing parts with them. If they have what you want be sure to request a flat-rate mailer for lower shipping costs. The shipping options/charges on their site may make you want to run. 

 

[ShootingNewB]

@Ezana4CE. Yeah, started there, they show it but out of stock and when asked x they said they had no expectations of getting them again. 

Makes you wonder why they are even listed, but that's another story

@KatoKevin454, thanks for the links and for looking. Sadly the first only ships within the UK, and the 2nd, like the one source in the USA, is out of stock with no expectations of getting new ones in. 



Hence the level of frustration...

Anything with an oversight by Daystate is a CF .. always has been ..

Ah, yeah, from what I'm experiencing, I'd have to agree with you. Fingers crossed my one lead works out!!
