kimel Posted November 15, 2004 Share Posted November 15, 2004 Try Speedshooters International or Precision Airsoft I don't think we can order direct from Western here in the states. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s2000red Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 You can also try Airsoft Atlanta in Georgia. That's where I got mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shooter Grrl Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 Yes - I own one - I have the Limited version however. I use it extensively when switching between Open and Limited to work on acquiring good sight pictures with the limited gun (what front sight?) We bought ours at http://www.airsoftextreme.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cameron Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 Tom, Keep me posted on the price of the slide 32 gun. Looks like something I need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas Moore Posted November 18, 2004 Author Share Posted November 18, 2004 it seems that the open model is a little difficult to find. so i'm asking my fellow enos flock to help me locate an open version like the one sv has on their web site. however i may end up installing a doctor on a limited sv western arm airsoft. thanks for any help.

Shepard Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 I haven't seen the one on the SVI web sight but these two companies carry open SVIs. Also, unless you already have a limited airsoft "they" say that the longer inner barrel on the open version gives a little bit more accuracy and FPS. www.uncompany.com www.wgcshop.com" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shepard Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 just looked at the url on your initial post. Those companies indicate they have that model. I didn't see one on cursory investigation of US stores but I have ordered without problem from WGC and Uncompany. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Moore Posted November 18, 2004 Author Share Posted November 18, 2004 Shepard, thanks for your post. ordering overseas was one of my concerns. i don't know how customs would handle such an item. if you're from the states you'll know that we require the tip of the barrel to be painted orange. how long did it take for your order to get to you and was the barrel painted orange. on another note i ordered a hat from the last world shoot in south africa and never received the hat.

Shepard Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 I've had no problems with either company. I just ordered a ton of upgrade parts for my limited gun (going High Presssure Air) from wgc and it took about 2 weeks. My barrel was orange but you can buy metal replacements without paint, or I've heard you can take the paint off. The parts are cheap. Customs doesn't seem to be a problem but if you want to check with www.airsoftatlanta.com or www.airsoftextreme.com they are US and carry SVI but aren't showing any open models in stock at the moment. The fastest progress I made was when I was using my airsoft. It let me isolate what I wanted to work on. Soon as I get moved back to Florida I'm planning a ton of airsoft work.

kimel Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 I have heard from a largish airsoft retailer that the US requirement for the orange tip is no longer in effect. States and local jurisdictions do still require this in some cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nolan Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 Last night I went to the Airsoft Extreme store here in Santa Clara to look at the all metal Duo Tone SV 5" ($325.00) Very nice looking, but I couldn't get a good look at it because the 2 idjits behind the counter wouldn't stop telling their "combat" stories to their buddies long enough to notice me! 4 people (2 behind the counter & 2 in front) in the store plus me and I flat couldn't get their attention. After a couple of minutes standing in front of the counter, saying "Excuse me", "Hey", and rapping my knuckles on the counter rather loudly I got pissed and left. I think I'll order mine online direct from Japan, I'll probably get it faster than I would have been waited on at Airsoft Extreme's store.

Thomas Moore Posted December 2, 2004 Author Share Posted December 2, 2004 i checked a couple of websites overseas and found the guns in question to be temporarily out of stock. i still haven't found a US site that carries this particular model airsoft gun.
