Ahhhhh... gun porn. Now in video format w be paint, but must be some sort of PERMANENT orange, such as a orange plastic slide, barrel, or muzzle. Greg Doss is not a nice guy, and controlls all of CA customs imports.
As for your friend with major law contacts, don't bet on it, at all. I don't think that Greg Doss would care if it was the presidents model gun, he'd still seize it.
Yea, the express shipping you paid for was HK post, if anyone ever says express shipping from HK, ask them, and it will most likely be HKPOST, which is fast. They get the package here in two days, but the routing system they use once it gets here absolutley sucks.
I'm sorry to say this CADD, but you will not get this gun. If it hit customs on Nov. 2nd, and you don't have it now, it got seized. You'll get a form in the mail in about 30 days from now saying they seized it.
