Macks airsoft dreamers of the week thread

What is the equivalent value to an abused MWS?

Hmm...

It seems mentioning the issues regarding the condition has still not being enough to not draw scrutiny towards this listing. 

I'll try to at least jump in to clear up some doubts before I inevitably succumb to the unwinnable war that is macks dreamers.

If by abused you mean:

  • Chips in the receiver where the previous owner has stupidly butchered trying to remove the trigger unit (which I apologise I have failed to specifically mention removal of the trigger box, rather only mentioning the external damage)
  • A cracked trigger guard 



for which I have mentioned the wear, and then provided a shooting video

Then I am guilty ?

I have refreshed the photos of the listing once again, in every area as well as the bolt/FCG to show how little round count this 'abused' MWS has had. (whereby any long term MWS owner will be able to tell how much shooting time this has actually had by the wear to the in-battery sear and cocking extrusion on the bolt)

Once again, the owner has stupidly damaged the external condition the RIF in the areas he had tried to tinker, and I have relieved him of it before he inevitably caused more harm to one of our precious Marui blasters.

That looks pretty used for less than a thousand rounds (why's the lock ring on the stock tube so scratched?) that's barely one use so I'm already suspicious as to why anyone would have seen the need to take it apart anyway.

The 'Lock Ring'

Castle nut.

The paint is worn as it is a very thin coating TM uses for all their guns. A heavy steel wrench will wear away the paint quickly. (if you are too lazy to cover with a cloth)

The 'Lock Ring' was removed to remove the buffer tube, and in turn give easier access to the trigger box (while preventing further receiver damage).

In turn, providing an easier tapping angle when I removed it a second time to inspect it.

Your 'Suspicion' of it being taken apart rests on the basis of the motives of the previous owner taking it apart, despite providing a shooting video to show it is functioning regardless of what has been attempted.

I shall contact MI6 to investigate and find reasoning why the previous owner of his own free will decided to explore the inner workings of his GBBR he purchased with his own money.

Genuine ones do but I'm sure that's a knock off as real ones didn't come in black.

Genuine ones go for around the €120 mark, if you can find them.

I was referring to clones, they're crazy expensive here :D

Apologies for using incorrect terms, I'm new at this.

I'm also a sceptical git and there's enough scammers out there for something like this to be a flag for me. Thanks for the additional info, I'm sure it'll be useful for whoever buys it from you to know a bit more about it's history.

Let me know how you get on with MI6, I'm still waiting for them to get back to me as to why there was no toy in my Frosties on the 27th of October, 1987.

We got called out so it had to be posted here.

Haha  fair enough.

New: 268 quid for uberti 1860 stock

£170 for the umarex

Parts and time ect  

It's very much a one off.

And I further worked it out with bits I traded ect and have dropped the price anyway. It is a pretty thing. £275 takes it

 
Available for under £200 new. 

Edit: even with the extras there's no way it's worth that second hand

He'll probably sell to someone without UKARA who can't get it cheaper from bbguns4less

 
Just out of the box and not been used yet

If that's true then he can return it for a full refund.

It's not, of course, which is why it's not worth anywhere near full retain price, let alone way over it.

This chap has a history of flogging "as new" / "never used" stuff, and the previous ones are RIFS, so why is this an IF?

Nothing hugely dodgy about that, but I rather suspect that he's a trader rather than a player.

I thought you couldn't return IFs because the shop voids the manufacturer's warranty by painting it? Not that I'm defending this guy.
