The 'What have you just bought' Thread

Gloves! Something I always seem to overlook this time of year. Picked up some Oakley SI Assault Gloves on eBay used for just over £20.

A bargain considering they've never been worn.

Correct, would’ve been easier to just get my UKARA and then buy it in Tan or Black but the CM.515 will be my backup because when I get my UKARA i’m getting a G&G CM16 Raider and also just wanted a gun in the meantime to just mess about with friends doing some backyard airsoft :)

Tsk tsk, go directly to jail, do not pass Go, do not collect £200 :D

If you do get some tan stuff, I'd suggest that it be things like the plate carrier/vest, pouches, kneepads (if any), etc... Maybe even your t-shirt/jacket if you wanted even less but I think multicam looks great with tan.

Thanks for the suggestion, i’ll definitely keep that in mind when I get new gear in the near future :)  

 
Seeing as things didnt work out with the classic army m203 which was broken...supplier offered me a S&TM320A1 launcher at cost price as a replacement for only a few extra £££.

Its heavy...but am loving it so far, cant wait to try it out on a game day.

Forgive if I’m wrong but did you buy a two tone as no UKARA defence yet and remove the paint thus creating a RIF??

been in the cold all day so may have misunderstood you along the lines  :)

Also decided I won’t be doing backyard airsoft with it because it is now a RIF and in case the neighbours see it lol

I heard that the UKARA is just so you can buy a non two tone gun from a retailer, not to own it.

This is a quote from another member that seems to know what he’s talking about 

“Do you Skirmish on a regular basis at a proper site and can you prove it?

if you do then put any tape you want on it and spray it any colour you like. You have a defence You don't need a 'UKARA' to do this, it is only a way of showing a retailer you have a defence for buying a gun.”

Another person selling their gun second hand told me I could buy their RIF without having a UKARA because he knows I’m a legit skirmisher 

I’ve been told a variety of things from different people that skirmish regularly but technically I would’ve broken the law for making my IF a RIF, as long as I don’t take it out in public and just take it to a proper airsoft site I should be fine.

Letting your neighbours know about the sport wouldn't be a bad idea if you're worried about them calling the police. 

I'm not going to condone what you did but as long as you're not being stupid with it I really can't see anybody making a huge fuss.

Yeah, I just got some misinformation but i’ve got common sense so I should be alright with it :)  

 
VCRA defence, UKARA is a retailers' association with a database.  It's been over a decade since this law was past, anyone who still doesn't doesn't get it needs to go and do some reading.  Don't ask other people who don't know what they're talking about, go find some proper articles and look up the actual act on the government website; it's right there, easy to find and not that complicated to understand the basics.

If you don't have a defence from prosecution under the VCRA laws, don't manufacture, import or attempt to purchase a RIF.  Being on UKARA's database is not the only defence.

I'm not going to start talking about the false economy of 8fields, nuprol and viper vs surplus issue kit or hunting down quality stuff for the same price 2nd hand, because that's a lesson most people have to learn for themselves.

While I love the looks of short dots, I find this one to be too short.. No offense but it looks ugly on that gun xD

 
I do kinda agree with you. I actually prefer it on the shorter version. I probably need to strip my gun back a bit and it'd look better but I have a thing for strapping as much stuff to my gun as possible.
