Please note that there is no guarantee yet in this announcement that you will receive your AEG orders from RSOV.com. Make sure you have valid proof that you are an airsoft skirmisher (aka "Defense").  This will make the delivery process a little bit more tedious, and longer, until everything under the VCRA concering RIF (Real Imitation Firearms) have been sorted out.

We would welcome any report regarding experiences on ordering RIFs coming from abroad.
