Guys,

Do you know how I can get my hands on a PA M4 with kill flash?

I live in Holland and they wont ship overseas, but i really want one.

I dont have the money to spend on a real Aimpoint, but I like the single dot and the looks of it. I had a cheap chinese copy, but after 70 shots it started to turn off by itself every other shot.

Are there any other dealers (that you guys know off) that are willing/able to ship overseas?

Well first, you can't even get it now period because they're sold out; I believe Marshall has indicated that they'll be back in stock very soon (next week) provided it doesn't get stuck in customs.

Unfortunately the Primary Arms M4 is only sold by Primary Arms themselves as they personally contracted a factory in China to build it under their own specifications. You'll likely going to need to buy it used from a private seller on AR15.com when it appears or have a friend/family in the USA order and ship it to you. There should be no export restrictions on it so it should be a fairly easy thing to do.
 
Alternatively you can probably order a Vortex Red Dot instead from Optics Planet. I believe they can ship internationally. You just won't have the option for a Killflash.
 
not sure what the killflash exactly is, but i wanted it.

How good is the Vortex?

I hear great thing about the PA. I have no relatives in the US (unfortunatly). A lot of companies dont ship here and the market here is quite small and the prices reflect that. :(
 
Killflash is there to eliminate glare reflecting off the front of your red dot when outdoors. For plinking and range purposes, there's really no point to have it.

I'd consider the Vortex a step up from PA's stuff. They're designed to compete with Aimpoint at a bargain price whereas PA's stuff are intended to be Aimpoint clones. Vortex also has a Lifetime warranty and are actually being used by the LAPD and Chicago PD.

That said there are still features on it people dislike like the placement of the buttons etc. Definitely worth researching it on the other AR15 forums.

Out of curiosity, how much are Aimpoints on that side of the pond anyway?
 
They go for € 500 (micro) - € 700 (comp M4) ($ 800 - $ 1100)

But if we buy from the states for your prices it would be arount € 400 - € 600

(with the current exchange rates)
 
When they come back in stock, you can send me the money and shipping costs via Paypal and I will ship it to you.

I am always willing to help someone from this forum, I love these people. I would honestly not have any problem doing that for you.
 
i checked it out....and there is no Federal Restriction on that particular item--EOTech and Trijicons are a no-no apperantly

should be good to go Yeti

I forgot about federal restrictions. I just figured the business wasn't set up to ship internationally. Good thing you checked for me!
 
Guys,

need your advice once more.

The Vortex optics have export restrictions aswell.

So here are my 3 options.

1: Wait for the PA M4 to get back in stock and get one of the nice members who offered to ship it to me. (total cost incl VAT € 150)

2: Order a Vortex one from a store in Holland, just found it yesterday) at € 200

3: Buy a 2nd hand Aimpoint Comp M4 (with killflash and rubber covers) from a Dutch soldier who used it in Afghanistan. Has some exterior marks, but works perfectly for € 400

What would you guys do?

If it were for use only on the 15-22... I would buy the Vortex local and be done with it. And if Aimpoint are that difficult to get a hold of in Holland then I would buy the Aimpoint too.

Just wondering... Can MidwayUK not ship their optics to Holland?
 
The Aimpoint is in budget, its just a matter of worth the extra bucks.
There might be a future AR15 in the planning, but not sure yet.

@Phil: Not sure, gonna check it out.
 
And once again a shop that doesnt ship overseas.
