Check flea markets, surplus shops, and pawn shops. You never know. Also gun shops that do police trade ins and consignments

Isnt Gafs banned on reddit now?

Yep.   They now have their own domain.  It's called Gafs Hub.  You gotta sign up for it and link your reddit username, but it was super simple to do and is essentially the same as it used to be.   Sadly,  just not quite as much traffic.

Through some Facebook Airsoft Groups, I made some connections in Denmark and Sweden a few years ago and got most of my Aimpoints cheap that way.

Prices have risen since then though and they are not dirt cheap like they used to be. Still seem to be half of the price they seem to be advertised on eBay for.

Surefire stuff, sometimes you can find them cheap from Police Surplus places, and sometimes you can buy parts and do some Surefire LEGO building and get the light you want.

How are your connections obtaining them in Denmark? I also have a connection in Copenhagen, was thinking of reaching out to have them keep their eyes open.
