The one on the link looks like a matte finish, reminiscent of 3D printing (I don't know if that one is, I know some prop versions have been in the past.

What would you describe the finish as? It seems veeeery similar with that mottled look. Can't see much of a difference really. I don't know your experience with commissioning items from Chinese factories but they 100% will sell your item under a different brand even if they say they won't.

I can guarantee you that the product available on my website, and the one on the link sent earlier are not the same. You can see for one that it doesn't have the correct enamel finish.

As a buyer I always offer to cover the fee's if I make a lower offer, 9 times out of 10 it works, have never had anyone offer it in return but then I had someone send me the money for a pistol I sold recently via F&F which took my by surprise I must admit, I put it on a quicker postal service in return so we both benefitted from it. Fee's do get expensive above £200 so I can understand why sellers try to put it on the buyer but like you say, 10 seconds on Google gives you the fee total and can adjust price accordingly.

Thank you for fixing the website @proffrink 👍 very much appreciated!

https://www.usedairsoft.co.uk/two-tone-replicas/gas-powered_2/vorsk-vpx-two-tone-no-mag_i82240 The seller wants 60% of retail for a two-tone. Fair enough... until you find it doesn't come with its mag and that its magwell retaining pin has been replaced with a different pin. I always wanted an uncompetitively priced two-tone where it's unclear if the "different pin" is a like for like replacement or if it's a bit of a bodge job as the image is less than detailed.

People selling who've neglected to read the Paypal T&C's, where it explicitly says the seller is responsible for the fees, and trying to pass that on to the Buyer. Seriously, it takes half a second to calculate it and factor it in to your costs.

I'm aware of the Patrol Base listing, thanks. I'd seen the chain since it was on Whatsapp, let alone get on to Used Airsoft. It may be technically retail because it's got a separate warranty but it's still going to be viewed as a third-party custom job (albeit produced on a small scale) because an OEM supplied an AEG, many of whose parts were replaced with upgrades. People aren't going to care about the technicality of it being a retail job, they're going to care about the G&G SR-15 base and its upgrades and how much they cost against the buyer's asking price.

6 WE SCAR H V3 Mags, as i'm intending on running it as DMR, so the HPA avenue is just an unnecessary irritation. By the time they've landed in the UK, at worst case its going to be £45 a mag.

I played up at Gunman Airsoft's Tuddenham site on Sunday. I booked in advance so signing on had no hassle and getting chrono tested was very straightforward. Primaries were tagged with one colour cable tie and bolt-action snipers, DMRs and LMGs were given a different colour to point out they were MED-restricted and thus not allowed to be used in the village section of the site - a sidearm had to be used in that case. The game rules were a bit challenging even for more experienced players but it added some variety even if the heat was on the forefront of a lot of our minds so I've probably recalled one or two things correctly. In both games, we had a 3-hit rule before we had to return to respawn. The first 2 times we were hit, we had to go to a knee or sit and call for an unwounded player to patch us up in a 20-second count with both of their hands on our shoulder, taking them out of being able to shoot also. On your 3rd hit, you were KIA and had to return to respawn to start over. If after 2 minutes, you weren't rescued and patched up or you deemed it too risky to be helped, you could declare yourself KIA and return to respawn. You could crawl to a teammate but if you were hit again while crawling, you'd be KIA (regardless of it being your 2nd or 3rd hit) or if either you or your teammate had their hands on your shoulder to patch you up and either of you were hit you would both be KIA (regardless of it being your 2nd or 3rd hit or your teammate's 1st, 2nd or 3rd) and have to return to respawn. Due to the risk of grass and bush fires, pyro was limited to Mk 5s, EG Flashbangs and BFG/IGs and they could only be used inside buildings - anyone inside a given building number where pyro was thrown was KIA when it detonated The morning game was a 3-way contest between two street gangs (red vs green teams) versus police (blue team - mostly marshals). The street gangs had to collect a narcotics package and return it to their respawn point but only "mules" (dedicated players with an orange armband) could pick up and return the packages so it was beneficial to set a strategy using players as cover for the mule when retrieving the package. The returned packages would be converted to product for the afternoon game for the street gangs' objectives. The blue team had to prevent "arrest" gang members on either side and collect their blue tag and if they collected half as many tags as there were street gang players, they would win. They also had to hinder the collection of the packages. After the lunch break, we went back out and those running gas weapons were retested on the chrono. Anyone above the limit had to either power down their gun or wasn't allowed to field it. One bloke had to put aside his sidearm but he caused no fuss at all as he wasn't running a DMR or sniper rifle. In the afternoon game, the street gangs retreieved packages were converted to product, which needed to be deposited in a safety deposit box on a given area at the site per gang. Each drop could only be completed with product, premium product and cash, the latter 2 of which could be retrieved from across the site only by the mules so again, the street gangs had to strategise to make their drops while the police had to thwart their efforts and continue collecting tags with their arrests with the aim of getting at least half of them. When you score a hit on an opposing gang member you could either claim their product if you saw them carrying it or you could ask if they were carrying if you couldn't see it and they were obliged to disclose and surrender it but only if you asked. Of course, you had to tread carefully to steal their product as you risked being hit by their teammates. Despite the weather, gameplay was good with people calling hits, there were no arguments the marshals were aware of. There was some really good teamwork from all 3 sides to push forward, distract attention, offer cover for mules (gangs), provide supressive fire, etc. I was running a Double Eagle Noveske N4 MWS GBBR as my primary along with a WE Hi-Capa 4.3 as my sidearm.

It was never sold with original parts in. Not really custom, its a Patrol Base Bolster Armouries special: https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/bolster-armouries-aegis-advanced-m4-aeg So that's the retail AEG. Kind off.
