I came across them while looking around online, but after mentioning them to some of the guys in my club I was advised to stay away.

By sword and musket has a few K31 rifles in stock
So I've heard about the M39. I've been told my best option is to find one on the likes of egun and have it shipped over.

I'll check out sword and musket though.

First people I heard say that. Most describe the guy who runs it as a friendly version of Lord of War lol . Something doesn't sound right. Unless he's got something against shipping to NI (some Mainland dealers are like that, but only some).

Got my two from egun.de however importing them can really rack up the price.

I don't want to be publicly badmouthing an RFD I've had no personal dealings with, but I'd be happy to tell you via PM if you'd like.

I'm assuming you've heard the same stories I did then?

Again, I don't want to say publicly what I was told, since I wasn't personally involved, but I'd be happy to PM you with what was said.

You've got two?

Can I ask roughly how much importing ended up costing you?

If that was to me you might need to resend it mate, I've only just reached the 15 post requirement it seems.
