Depends what you want. Try Lantac.

I have purchased Magpul stuff from China which one assumes must be fake, but they come in packaging which makes it impossable for the man in the street to tell the difference. I would be suprised if much of the stuff on sale in the UK was not from China.
Buyer be happy with the price you pay for the item you are purchasing, not the name.

In theory I could easily access US Magpul prices via an American pal, but it really irks me that something as simple as the PRS stock which I want for a rifle project is covered by ITAR. I thought ITAR was intended to cover more he-tech items, not a glorified Airfix kit which is all the PRS stock is.

UK prices for the same item are outrageous in comparison, that is if you can even find one which isn't an Egg Fried-Rice flavoured knock-off.

Greedy importer = higher UK prices

Buy online - no ITAR for goods sourced in Europe, and as we're the only part of the EC (to my knowledge) that banned self loading centre-fire rifles, then MOST of the EC are allowed to own correctly functioning AR-type rifles/carbines

Failing that - Ebay &/or other such sources such as Egun.de
