AI AICS soon to be on sale?

#1 Post by Dangermouse »

This video from the shot show, taken from the Surgeon stand, hints at the availability of the AX AICS as from spring this year. The seller states with some certainty that the system will be $1299.00

The Current AICS level 2 stock sells for around $1071 in the US so we might just see the AX hitting the shelfs in the UK for under a grand.

Has anyone seen any release dates or prices for the UK?

$1299.00 will probably be £1299.00 as they don't seem to use any kind of currency converter when items come in from the US, they just change the symbol :roll:

I hope these are not coming in from the US, I will be really disappointed if a UK company has sourced the making of this stock to the US with the current economic climate in the UK and the strong dollar.

I could see these coming in at under a grand but being typical AI, you will have to pay for extras like the rails,

On the basis the AX series rifles aren't available until March, it'll probably be later this year before we see them (AICS Stocks) and I suspect you'll get no change out of a grand :evil:

The best person to speak to if you want one, would be Graeme at Sporting Services

Bobbob,

Here's the converter

$1300 equals approx £866. Add about $50 for P&P equals £900 Add 2.5% import duty equals £923. Add 20% VAT equals £1107 add about £25 for the Parcel Force robbery charge comes to £1132. But, work on pounds for dollars and you won't be far out!

Cheers
