Macks airsoft dreamers of the week thread

You can get used 416’s and scar H packages for sub £500 used and they start off at £500-600 new, not sub £400

for me, that AK is £375 max

hmm I'm on the fence with this one. While I think £100 extra is a bit much I think that it wouldn't be far off that with everything as a bundle

Agreed its borderline, but used always equates to at least 2/3s value to me...so around £375 would be bang on.  Plus I am always sceptical of 'upgrades'

Seems to be all AKs at it today





£450 for a bog standard E&L?  Jog on.

Isn’t a real steel suppressor for an AK a controlled item?

 
I'm fairly sure you need a FAC to buy (and presumably own) silencers/suppressors in the UK.  Legally they count as a firearm same way pressure bearing parts do IIRC.

Yes.  https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1968/27/section/57

"In this Act, the expression “firearm” means [...] an accessory to a lethal barrelled weapon or a prohibited weapon where the accessory is designed or adapted to diminish the noise or flash caused by firing the weapon"

Important bits highlighted.  Airsoft suppressors are not firearm parts, and neither are they designed to diminish the noise or flash of a firearm, even if they happen to fit on a firearm.

the quality of most airsoft suppressors i wouldn't be surprised if they blew apart on the first shot if you put them on a proper rifle.

 
Maybe he just meant its made out of steel rather than our common understanding of the phrase 'real steel'

£159 new with a warranty, ?

To be fair, it's a sensible package, and a bit (not much) cheaper than buying it all new.  Maybe the trigger contacts aren't too burnt out from running it on 11.1V...

Did I just defend a Nuprol?  I need to go and shower...

seller contacted me via pm, very polite & realised he'd posted in a hurry, so has altered price, think it was up for at least £60 more ?

 
£3 MORE THAN  firesupport want ? Sounds like a steal too me ! ?




 
The magazines come to about £235 retail, although it's the usual fantasy of recouping most of what you've spent for used gear in unknown condition.

I do wish that folk wouldn't try to sell things as big bundles, as it'll sharply reduce the size of their potential market.
