Good day fellas,

I go straight to the point, I am looking for real/good looking Marker. Most look kinda janky, but after some research I found the First Strike T15, but sadly those are completely sold out/gone and most forums say, that production is basically none existent.
Now I got my eyes on the Tippmann TMC Elite, but I don’t know about the quality, because I read mixed things.
I am kinda exhausted with looking online, so I thought I ask some veterans over here for some options and/or perhaps some good shopping sites.

If you’re tempted by those guys at events with SARs, Carmatech seems to be dead. The website claims markers are in stock, but it’s not true.

They took my money last summer. I get promises of soon when I complain, but they still haven’t shipped anything.

It was clearly a small set product with limited demand. They really should close the website if they can’t ship.

Hey gang, looking for an appraisal on a Milsig XDC, also comes with a CQB and M17 for parts, whatever. Two air through stocks, a Two piece smooth bore and rifled barrel, elite fluted barrel, tank turret muzzle break, killhouse mock suppressor, about 10 mags that work well, 4-5 others that need some tinkering, and another 4-5 for parts, winder pieces. Canadian dollar value pls :) located in London Ont.

Hello. I am getting back into paintball after awhile and I am going to be buying a carmatech SAR12C. I guess my question is has anyone ever bought anything from them before, if so how did it go? Was it easy or was it a pain? Was there any issues?

Hey everyone,

I wanted to ask if anyone here has experience flying internationally with paintball markers, specifically from Vancouver to the Philippines.

I’m planning on bringing both hopper-fed and magfed setups, along with gear like:

- Empty HPA tanks

- Loaders/hoppers

- Magazines

- Pods and tactical gear

- Optics/accessories

I’m trying to figure out the best/legal way to transport everything without running into issues with airport security or customs.

A few things I’m wondering:

- Did you check the markers in a hard case?

- Did you declare them as sporting equipment?

- Any issues with Canadian airport security or Philippine customs?

- Did you remove regulators/bolts/air systems before travel?

- Were empty HPA tanks allowed?

- Is shipping separately safer than flying with them?

- Did customs treat them similarly to airsoft guns/replicas?

Most of the posts I’ve found are about domestic flights, so I’d really appreciate advice from people who’ve traveled internationally with paintball gear, especially to Asia or the Philippines.

Thanks!
