Just got a GHK SIG 553 from the Midlands Airsoft Fair. The kick on this is unreal! 11/10 for looks too. Rock solid.

Love AK2M4 👍

Thanks i cant realy take credit fot it it was up for sale on ebay as parts no gearbox or stock so with a gearbox form AK2M4 and a Tm stock from Japan a gun was born.

They'll be fine, leave them gassed up.

Yes, member of a local gun club and have all the correct certification etc - absolute ball ache to acquire. I don't actually run with it at skirmishes, for reasons you can imagine I have a black fake knights type for that (going to spray it at some point) EDIT as I didn't see the other responses - Owning a real steel suppressor in the UK is a bolt on for your FA Certificate - whether you use it on a firearm or airsoft weapon I do believe it needs to be registered. Personally, I didn't want to take the risk and had it registered. It took a few attempts to get it registered and I had to have my local gun club rep 'vouch for me' (one of the reasons I do not skirmish it) Basically, it looks good on the gun when it's on the wall..

Mate that G3 is doing things for me

Hi all. Brand new to the site as of this evening and thought I'd let you know about the 'gentleman' above! I saw a number of adverts posted by 'Cal' concerning a number of Air pistols and airsoft pistols and equipment on Freeads. One such advert I replied to and was going to ask some further questions when I realised that all the adverts of pistols seemed to have been taken in different places/ areas which is somewhat unusual. I contacted him as it seemed a little strange that 'Ireland' where he was from appeared to be at 3 different locations in the UK. One being Bedfordshire, another Tyne and Weir and the 3rd in Northern Ireland. Anyway I offered to swap my AA Custom Glock 17 for a Walther CP88 4.5mm bb pistol of his ( sorry folks I'm not an airsoft gamer or player) and asked him for his details in order that I could post him mine first thing in the morning. He gave me his details and guess what.......? It's your mate Steve Glennie, [Address redacted by moderator] I have given him all my details in case he might like to speak with me when he realises the pistol hasn't or won't turn up! He has assured me that once he knows my pistol is on it's way to him he will send me tracking details of his pistol he has posted to me. I have reported this activity and his past misdemeanours immediately to Freeads who hopefully will do something about it but perhaps we shouldn't hold our breath eh? Let me know what you think. ( I haven't told Cal/Steve anything yet!).

Just finished cleaning her up after her first days skirmishing. Performed faultlessly, chrono'd at 310 FPS on the day, so a little room for a spring change. Hop up set up was quick and easy. My son ended up running it for most of the day as the rental AK74's were a lot larger. I know it's another 'bloody' M4, and two toned to boot, but it's a great starter AEG and will do well as a back up gun when I get something a little more tasty down the line.

This is not strictly true. Not having a go cause not only is it really quite confusing but there's lots of information out there which isn't really worded that well! For example - shops selling 'real' supressors will say you need an FAC to buy cause they are technically firearms. This is technically true, sort of- but only when they are attached to a firearm. Shops will ask for proof the suppressor is on the FAC due to 1) target audience 2) arse covering. The definition of a suppressor isn't really that great imo: "any accessory to any such weapon, designed or adapted to diminish the noise or flash caused by firing the weapon" So there's no distinction between a 'real' and a 'replica' - could be a real KAC, could be the TM mk23 one, could be a coke can - the crucial bit is if it diminishes the noise or flash of a weapon and you dont have it on the FAC you are in trouble! For example - its fine for an air rifle (-12ft/lbs KE) or shotgun to have a suppressor. Anecdotally sellers will ask you what you intend to use it for - if you want to put in on a firearm they will ask for the deets of your FAC, if air rifle thats fine. Additionally, some 'real' supressors will be 'proofed' - if your FAC specificies a proof and you wanted to replace it, you would have to ask permission to do so. If your suppressor is unproofed you can replace with another unproofed supressor. The law is messy but it helps to know that it was written with poaching in mind - context is important. In short a supressor in of itself is not illegal but if you also own a firearm i would keep them very, very seperate should it raise eyebrows at an inspection. And i probably wouldn't bother getting a real one - you can still get into legal difficulty without having broken a law. Sorry for going off topic.

Thing is though, in 99% of cases you're right about the smelly, pot bellied, greasy haired, stained tee shirt wearing, aspergers virgins that inhabit GW stores. Much like airsoft, it seems like fly paper for the inadequate! So much so, I spent an extra £60 on a VIP ticket to Warhammer Fest so I don't have to queue with the literal great unwashed. 🤣

Whelp. First google result: https://bbguns4less.co.uk/products/small-magazine-for-bison-401-c501-c401-c401b-501a-401c-c601.html This one too: https://bbguns4less.co.uk/products/big-magazine-for-bison-401-c501-c401-c401b-501a-401c-c601.html I had that gun for a few years. It's ok. But, only for garden plinking. Strictly nothing more.
