Patrol Base

I've got quite the man-love for Luke as well now.  Have you seen his latest video? ;)

 
Does this other Luke do any tech teaching videos? I'd love to learn how to work on my own guns. As I mentioned I'm a mechanic and technically minded, have the tools for any job. However, when I was 14 I tried fixing a .177 CO2 air pistol myself and once in bits I realised I was in way over my head at the time and absolutely could not repair it or reassemble it. The thing was way more complicated and full of tiny moving parts than I had anticipated and it really put me off messing with any kind of airgun for a long time. But I'd love to learn how to at least do more basic airsoft maintenance and repairs myself.

Just dive in, AEGs are very simple if you’re a mechanic. 

I was very nervous before opening.my first gearbox up, watched a couple of videos first, but was surprised how easy it was when I tried it.

After watching a few tech video's I decided pulling anything with that many little bits and pieces is best left to those who know what they're doing lol, provided they actually do what they say. Luke's my gun guru now ? trust him 100%

^^^^This^^^^

An aeg is an amazingly simple thing and unless someone is a complete ham fisted idiot most things are pretty easy.

A friend and myself called in to PB last week. The two staff members working that day couldn't have been more ignorant if they tried. One of them actually turned the shop music up while my friend  was trying to ask him a question. Such a shame and not the service we're used to.

I had the same issue with wolf armouries, more than once actually, vowed they'd never get another penny from me, suggest you do the same, plenty of other retailers to choose from.

Wolf do not have shop music anymore. In fact I haven't heard any since I started the sport 2 and a half years ago!

Lol, I've not been in there for about 8 years or more, but my "experiences" with wolf go back nearly twenty years, & I wasn't actually referring to music in the shop, more the "look down their nose shit eating attitude" that most of the staff back then had, yeah I'm sure it's better now (?), but once bitten & all that.

What a nasty, petty thing to do, on a purely human level let alone a professional one.

If that's their attitude towards their customers, no wonder their support is random.

Far too many people try to monetise their hobby into a job that they don't really want to do.

 
Late to the party but i can vouch for patrol base. I ordered a raven glock 18 with two extra mags, 2 cans of green gas and a truck load of BB's quite a long time ago. It was all delivered within a week and had no problem with delivery and it was all packaged fine, nothing broken or missing. 

Will carry on ordering from them in the future.

I think they're spot on mail order wise. Actually going into the shop is a different matter unfortunately
