  • Hey

    I was just wondering, I currently live in Australia, play heaps of videos games through our small aus circuit competitions i was just wondering if it’s possible to buy some gunner optics from you guys. Will you post to Australia also is there any chance of getting my hands on a pair on the MW3 edition glasses or are they only available to a select amount of people. I would love to purchase some when available.

    Thanks Guys
