Just got this news via the grapevine.
The Airsoft Sports Unlimited crews posted the following on Wichita’s Airsoft Forum :
Let’s put some rumors to rest. Effective at 5pm today – Airsoft Sport Unlimited at 758 N. Tyler Rd. is officially closed.
HAVE NO FEAR – the games WILL continue.
With the slump in the economy, we considered a new job position in Florida – with the intent of selling our store. Unfortunately, the economy has ruled out any quality buyers. Then, we found out on Monday of this week from our vendors that customs is holding the shipments of quality airsoft aeg’s. ATF and customs is “taking a closer look at things” This has resulted in a deficit of quality airsoft guns availability – we will not lower our standards to sell and inferior product. Therefore, we are not able to get AEG’s, and it is quite difficult to operate an airsoft gun store without airsoft guns. Word is they “may” be available come May, June or July – depending on the government. Well – we, like many of you, live paycheck to paycheck; and we can’t go until late summer with no income. Therefore we have made the tough decision to close ASU.
We are NOT leaving the state, and we will continue the games at Frog Holler. We will have available BB’s, green gas, and a limited supply of items. Give us a week or two and Scott will once again have quality AEG upgrade and repair service available. If you have pre-ordered an item, just pm me or give me a call, refunds will be provided.
Thank you so much for all of your support these past two years at ASU, we have learned so much about retail, and we are grateful for the adventure. God is faithful, and we have learned to rely on him throughout this adventure. We KNOW that the future is going to be wonderful as well.
We are now doing business as Wichita Airsoft Adventures – you can find our information here on the forums, and on facebook.
See you all at Frog Holler – let’s play some airsoft!
Thank you,
Scott, Kelly, Kyle & Matt Curtright
I understand our government’s needs to enforce the law and protect it’s citizens, but this is now starting to get out of hand. These are the type of things that really don’t seem to “effect you” until it happens to someone you know.
We don’t need small business closing their doors because of ignorant and reckless government intrusion. You should take this opportunity while the news is fresh in the media to contact your state representative and let them know how you feel.
It is just a plain FACT that in order to modify an airsoft gun to fire real rounds you might as well invest in a CNC machine and build you own “machine gun” from a block of aluminium. With the current logic the AFT is using I could modify an apple to fire a Stinger missile!
I wish Scott, Kelly, Kyle and Matt nothing but the best, they are good people.
