I'm liking the new forum interface.

Why do people on eBay bid up items in the first few days? Was looking at a cheap Red dot sight and it's now £3 less than brand new.. with 4 days to go on the listing. Just watch the item and put your max in at the end. Get it cheaper? Boggles the mind.

Prefired down for anyone else?
"Forbidden, you don't have permission, etc"- Show previous comments 1 more

The https certificate for www.prefired.com expired on 02/08/2019
Like with an expired passport though, it still proves that it's them.
WTAF?
Chrome is happy to connect.
Firefox does a GET www.prefired.com, which returns a 200 success status, but the response body contains 403 forbidden. Then the GET favicon.ico is 403.
Absolute clownshoes.
tl;dr version - use Chrome, it's sloppy and accommodating.

Long shot but anybody here have experience with computers?
Upgraded PC today but it won't load Windows as It's AMD > Ryzen. Will need to format my SSD and reinstall windows on it.
Problem is when I try and boot from either the windows installation disc or a bootable USB it completes 'loading files' and black screens. My keyboard lights shut down too.
Not sure what to do at this point.

Don't want to jinx myself but ive made progress with the PC..
It no longer black screens at all in any menu. I can get to the Windows installation part but my keyboard and mouse shut down. From what I gather this is a USB 3 - Windows 7 issue.
I'm downloading Windows 10 on a bootable USB and am going to see if this changes things. You can still use Win7 keys to activate Win10 right?

Something up with Prefired? Website has been slow for weeks now and often doesn't load at all.

Ah, the joys of ordering from China..
Bought a replica 551 Eotech at the end of last year. Just under a month later it arrives and it's missing the battery contacts. Tell the supplier who say no worries, they'll send a replacement.
2 months later.. nothing. Contact them again. They say they'll send another parcel. It arrived today, 7 months after initial purchase and I shit you not the contacts for this are missing too.
-
Has PatrolBase ever responded to an email inquiry? I've never got a reply the few times I've contacted them..
-
The LED on my CompM4 replica isn't lighting up when the dial is turned. Cleaned the contacts and tried with a fresh AA and nothing.
So I'm guessing it's an electrical problem. Does anybody know if it's fixable or do I have an expensive paperweight right now?

Firstly, you’ll need one of them, a cheap one will do, only really need it for continuity and possibly voltage measurement.
Youll have to see if power is getting to the LED, if it is, the LED is dead and a new one needs soldering in. If it isn’t, you need to go through each component till you find where the power gets too.
It may sound difficult, but it really isn’t, just take your time, methodically go from the battery to furthest point and work your way in at both ends till you find where the issue is.

Up all night putting the gearbox back together and assembling the AK. Watched a lot of videos and learned a lot this night!
I'm probably going to replace the stripped gear with SHS 13:1 and correct the AOE but will I need anything else for the gun to run smoothly?
-
Stripped one of the screws holding the motor to the gearbox. Any decent ways of getting the bugger out?

Love how I can fly direct to Brussels and get a return flight to London for £50 meanwhile a train from Chester-London would cost me more than double that.
Or take a coach for a tenner each way? How come rail is so expensive?

What I always enjoy about these statements (whether its a slow day in the news or a forum post) is the fact they have gone off to find something 'cheaper' that you wouldn't expect to be cheaper. Now me? I either go, fcuk thats expensive and still pay it or I don't. I don't then tend to go hunting for things that should be more expensive than a train fare and then aren't. Having said all that, train travel is a rip off.

Got any movie suggestions for me to watch on a Friday night chaps?
I've spent the last half hour scrolling through recent flicks and Reddit's top 250 and just can't decide.

L3wisD is in really deep shit with my wife,he recommended Love,Death and Robots and since then I've done fuck all around the house so to get myself out of the shit I've showed her this post pointing out "not my fault its his". While on the Airsoft field I consider myself a man of honour off the field however is a different matter😁

Hey! Waitaminute! 😂

Is it half term already?

What is with people sitting on an item you've bought and paid for over a week ago and getting all pissy when you open a dispute via PayPal against them when you discover they haven't even bothered to send it yet?
Like fair enough of you're busy but come on. You can make time or at least give me the courtesy of telling me it will be delayed or something..
Am I the only dude who ships stuff within a day at the most of payment being receieved?

My last 2 sales have been sent next day by my father who works close to the post office. Otherwise I tell them and update them and send a receipt photo when it's sent. Checking tracking etc and texting them once it's delivered to make sure they are happy.. I guess that's my job role taking over slightly but still. 11 days is a pisstake

@Robert James I do exactly the same with regards to tracking and pictures and a text/message to say its been delivered and can they confirm it arrived in good condition etc! joys of ten years in logistics!

Well I've bit the bullet and bought an LCT AKM. Been after one for a while and at £170 I can't really beat that price!
-
Very tempted by an LCT AKM. Might have to sell my ICS L85 to bankroll it though..

First bit of snow I've seen all year!
Didn't get so much as a snowflake all December.

Why do Dye i5s cost £150? Not sure I understand what makes them so special over the i4s (which you can get for 1/3 of the cost).

How much does a second hand TM AK sell for nowadays? Thinking of buying one but can't price check.

@StayOnTarget I have one of these ,
http://www.taiwangun.com/en/electric/cm-077-cyma?from=listing&campaign-id=20 and hand on heart it’s one of the best feeling and performing AEGs I’ve ever owned , and that’s saying somthing as I’m coming up to 19yrs playing ,
oh feck I really am as old as the grumpy old git in the mirror! 🤦♂️

CYMA products are fine. I'm not choosing TM for it's better quality internals or anything, I just want a nice looking/feeling AK.
As I'd have to swap out the faux wood furniture on the TM it would probably run me a bit more than I'd be willing to spend to be honest.
I'm patiently waiting for one to pop up in our Classifieds. It will happen one day - or at least that's what I tell myself.
Almost had one a couple months ago but the seller flaked on me. TM AK with wood furniture plus 8 mags for £150. Would still buy it if he got back in touch with me!
-
Amazon have a couple of free vouchers at the moment.
One is a £5 voucher if you download their app and another is a £4 voucher which you get by adding 3 items to your wishlist.
Unsure if you can apply both to checkout but figured it's worth a shout.

Buyers beware! I bought a UMP off of user @LTPinney on the 14th November but have received no parcel nor an update since November 27th.
Why the warning? Because @Dan1712 also bought from him and never received anything!
Started a dispute against him and the guy has responded but not got in touch with me.
Do not send him any money!
Tried to create a profile on ZeroIn but honestly the entire website is just not very intuitive. I can't post, reply to existing topics or even view my own profile.
Would someone be so kind as to let the folks on there know not to buy from him? He's got an advert up at the moment (posted 4 days ago) for a GBB L85 in their classifieds.

Just had someone on eBay try and commit fraud against me.. Fun times.
-
Sure are. Even as the seller all I had to do was phone them and explain what was happened. Lady was very understanding and closed the dispute, released the funds and forwarded the transaction to their frauds department for review. Pretty dumb scam - I have his full name and address. Lives about 20 miles away. Might send him a glitter bomb for Christmas.

Looks like TaiwanGun has a got a bit of a sale going on at the moment called "Black Novemeber" - Very tempted to grab an AK.
