You jerk you got me pawing over mine now and yes I have the same flash line but don't recall the reddish markings but have refinished the receiver though.
Lol! My bad, mate

That's the manufacturers job.
HCG should inspect it because there is a issue (probably) with the whole batch.
yorkie,it turned up this morning at work.paid the ups driver the duty/tax waited all day till i went home to unpack it.omg am i happy!very happy with mine,much better than you think when it is in your hand:thumbsup go for it mate,you will be happy.That’s good news- everything I’ve heard is positive, so far.
I do find it strange, however, that UK C&E are letting these through (I don’t want to turn this in to a VCR act moan, as it’s been discussed many times before!).
I know we’re not the bad guys, but when you consider that you’ve got a very heavy, realistic gun shaped object coming in to the country, you might think the powers to be might kick up more of a fuss.
Finger hovering, as we speak!

package was still sealed,i can't see anything wrong with my blaster thank god,can't believe how lucky i was with the import charge.Excellent:thumbsup. Bet you’ll be playing with it all night (the blaster, that is!).
Was ready to go, but the recent QC issues have put me on hold till we find out what the score is!
Had the package been opened?

The Violent Crime Reduction Act 2006 (Commencement No 3) Order 2007: firearms measures refers to realistic firearms i.e. airsoft rifles and pistols which is why you need to be UKRA registered to buy and import as they fire projectiles i'e' BB's and look like the real steel guns they're based upon. The Blade Runner Blaster a science fiction prop replica incapable in it's imported state of firing or be made to fire (expel) any projectile, so it's ridiculous to to suggest that the VCR would even be the remotist of considerations for UK Customs to consider apart from the FACT that on all imported packages there is a declaration label that describes the packages content, in this instance either "toy" or "Collectable",
There is more than enough anecdotal evidence on this and other threads from UK purchasers that shows unlike earlier imports UK Customs and Excise do actually know what to look for.
UK Customs are clearing these and charging a handsome VAT levy into the bargain.
In short you have all the assurance you need to get this piece of movie memorabilia Yorkie and all UK Customs will do is charge you for the pleasure.
46of my hard earn pounds my friend, as i said,thought i was lucky.:thumbsup£188.34 in my case, that's purchase+shipping x 20%.That's what anyone considering not banging on about the same issue over and over. He emailed me several times a few weeks back and I replied in-depth but still wasn't enough obviously.:lol Anyway how much did they sting you for?
Same issue with mine as well. However I’m not too worried about the grips. But, the bolt action doesn’t extend back. Hmm.
@CAPTAINCOX I have similar issues with my receiver. Small gap where you’ve mentioned, although not as much. On the receiver it looks like it wasn’t cut/filed all the way. Because of this my bolt action rise all the way or doesn’t slide back.
Spare boxes for the November batch were sent by Tomenosuke. Those who had issues with that batch should be getting their replacements soon. They were already shipped those out last week.
Please note, only those who had an issue and reported it back in November/December are getting replacement boxes. Mune only made a few extra boxes, enough to cover those replacements. Any box damages from this new run will be handled by Tomenosuke and I am not sure if they planned for this by making extras or not. The may or may not have. I just want to be clear on that so people don’t assume we have a bunch of extras now sitting around.
