No ones picked up on the **brand new** aspect yet either. Does it have a warranty? Can we return it to be fixed if it goes wrong or doesn’t work as stated? No, therefore it’s SECONDHAND

Longtime lurker, first time poster. I blame this thread entirely for encouraging me to buy and modify an MWS 😁 (thanks?). Have had a number of AEGs and GBB pistols, but this was my first venture into GBBRs. I stupidly decided to go down the expensive and difficult route of modify my first MWS to recreate John Wicks TR-1, albeit with a few minor changes. It's more akin to the current version sold on Brownells as opposed to the version seen in the movie. A little bit of both I guess. So far its mostly externals, but I intend on working on the internals as well. Once I have some more money that is 😅.

Achievement unlocked: Discovered capitalism

Perst-4 from Zenitco landed today.

I'll hold my hand up and say that firstly it was me who flagged up the ad, no salt is given, it's not us who won't sell a £130 pistol for £700. "Not jumping to conclusions without knowing anything", it's your sales ad, maybe you could have put more information in so personal conclusions weren't needed? I have never heard about tuning for accuracy on a gun, what is there you can actually affect other than the hop up? I appreciate you have gone to extensive lengths on the Capa but really do think you're going to struggle selling as a complete piece for the money you are doing. May have a lot more luck taking your time and splitting it down and the parts off and then the pistol in it's stock format. Yes you're leaving the sport and undoubtedly want a quick and easy out but I'm 99% certain you won't get that with what you're doing.

If I was going to drop £700 on a pistol I would be speaking to Mike from elite shooting I doubt he would tell me It needs tuned when I got it. Also would come with a 12 month guarantee and his excellent support.

OK so I'm not saying this is a "super-mega-ripoff-OMG" but surely something which is as custom as this is done to an individual taste so finding someone to buy it in the first place would be like a needle in a haystack but then for this amount of money? I appreciate the parts list is extensive but it still is marked as needing "accuracy tuning" 😐 If you were at the level where you'd be spending that much on a Hi-Capa wouldn't you likely want to be building your own anyway?

I just ordered one of these bad boys to put in an ASG Scorpion Evo DSG setup. Fingers crossed for an epic AEG DSG build!! Wish me luck!

And all you had to do to save the cash was undercut the actual inventor and stifle innovation. Bargain! Those clones are the reason that we never got factory-supported magazine adaptors and it took 5 years and counting for new models to come to market. If they'll continue to prioritise the cheapest possible product at the expense of innovation and quality, airsofters really have no-one but themselves to blame when they get sold shitty, obsolete products that don't work properly out of the box or break shortly thereafter. It's not a coincidence that in 1995 a mobile phone looked like this and in 2020 looks like this, but a 2020 M4 AEG gearbox looks exactly the same as a 1995 one. It's not a coincidence that local airsoft retailers are going out of business (especially in the States) because people would rather save a paltry amount of money than support any actual customer service. It's not a coincidence that Magpul withdrew from their partnership with PTS in disgust and as a result we can't get PDR-Cs or FPGs any more. There is a direct link between people forcing manufacturers into a race to the bargain basement and manufacturers not having any incentive to make innovative products. The "I would never pay £x for x, so they haven’t lost a sale by me purchasing a rip-off" argument sucked when it applied to pirating music, films and videogames and it sucks here. People buying it is the reason it’s produced. The entitlement of "I want it, but I don’t want to pay for it" is frustrating. It apparently cost TM $1m in 2008 dollars to develop the NGRS system; how are they supposed to recoup the first significant investment in AEG design since they invented the AEG if consumers set an arbitrary limit of "no more than twice the cost of a bargain basement clone of your old gun"? It’s especially irritating with straight clones like the M12 because the clone literally doesn’t do even one single thing better than the original, except be cheap and poorly made. Even CYMA have improved over TM in important ways like having metal receivers. I fully support and will buy things that obviously borrow heavily from an existing design if it’s improved - I’ll happily buy an VFC, because even though it’s mostly a TM clone they’ve massively improved it by making it steel and wood rather than plastic and plastic. This is all far from unique to the Sidewinder, it’s just especially annoying because it’s not the property of some huge faceless corporation. It’s literally one guy who designed an amazing product, put in a truly astonishing amount of his own money and time developing it, getting it manufactured, dealing it to distributors etc., and all so it could get ripped off and sold for profit by massive companies inside six months. At this stage it’s hard to tell if we deserve innovation. Anyway, apologies for dragging the thread off topic.

New slide came in the post this morning for my tm hi capa went for a gunsmith bros 66 gram slide, should look wicked with my silver metal barrel

If I can get a Twix in Poundland for 50p which would cost 90p in Waitrose...I'm buying it from Poundland. I would have a problem buying branded goods from such a retailer if it is cheaper than more traditional vendors.

Wow so much salt. The gun works flawless I have test fired it and it shoots very nicely. Everyone has their desired "tuning" so when I said it needs tuning, i mean tuning to taste. It out shoots all my other guns by far. Dont jump to conclusion without knowing anything sir. And for your information, I'm not selling it because it dont work as it should because it does, I'm selling it as I have stopped playing.

same guy whos wants £700 for his pistol which he has never skirmished. £150 he wants a stake home money + fees+ postage. Absolute joke as for "Used for a few games" my TRMR which I got second hand and have used for a year is less beat up. We have valued multi shots at £100~ add the primers and postage anything more than £115 is a bit of joke regardless of these being "rare".

Echoing the above statements, I don't think their advice or customer service is the best but if they have a known brand for a good price then I'd take a punt. Someone was trying to tell me only an idiot would buy from justBBguns but I got Marui G17 from them considerably cheaper than I could find anywhere else, it was no worse than a Marui G17 from any of the retailers who don't have "BB" in their name.

Inconsiderate postman woke me at 7 with my Skirmshop order.

Is JustBB still a bad company in 2020? think it is a bad company whatever the year or vintage (it ain't like fine wine that gets better with age) so is still a bad company... seriously they are the LAST company I would ever order from OnlyBBGuns or BBGuns4Less are a tiny tiny bit better than Jambwow But ONLY IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE BUYING !!! coz they still sell crappy plinkers mostly but they do sell some stuff that isn't complete $hit I'm NOT recommending this but here is an example.... https://bbguns4less.co.uk/products/cyma-cm517-m4-with-ras-handguard-in-blue.html Now that ain't bad at first glance with free ship & if you get a discount code BUT I will lay money that is gonna be a hot 390fps gun so needs downgrading so money you thought you might save over a 330fps one at a decent retailer or buying a better G&G Raider or something, will be lost getting it downgraded (or time for somebody to sort it out, plus still be a cheapo Cyma M4 model) So the best advice before parting with money on buying the best gun evvvaaaaaa is to have a butchers & pop back with some links of what you are considering Honestly - don't make some of mistakes many of us made buying stuff from Mickey Mouse Alright Geez Dominic at BBGuns4Less sells some half decent stuff (but most stuff on there is back garden plinky stuff) Same as Only - aka iWholesales sell some stuff but many are not so great So be careful what you fall in love with & not just the cheap pricing When buying your first gun...

tbh this industry is so notorious for people getting ripped off i'm surprised anyone is still bothering to come up with new ideas. i did buy an og odin, because i knew i wanted one and at the time the clones hadn't hit the market yet. touch wood it's never let me down and if it ever does i'll buy another legit one because to me the performance is well worth the money. it's a tricky balance, we need this hobby to be accessible, and that does mean on price. not everyone has the luxury of boatloads of disposable income to throw at what boils down to a bunch of toys. and maybe someone who buys a cheap clone thing might well decide they like the idea enough to buy a genuine one when the clone breaks. however, silver makes a very strong point that nobody will want to innovate in an industry where they know not even patents will save them from getting ripped off left right and centre, i can only imagine how shitty it must feel to pour your heart and soul into a product only to see your business fall flat out of the gate under a wave of cheap knock off's. end of the day everyone's going to make their own choice, for their own reasons, and there's damn all chatting about it on an internet forum is going to do to it.

This. Keep improving your product, so the competitors are left behind. Do it at a price that's not more than the double of the copies, do better marketing. Ideas will be stolen. Having a good idea and half assedly selling is not enough.

I thought Donald Trump was the only one with a knock-off tan? 🤣

Just got this in the mail

Not a RIF, but I just ordered a set of BULLE US woodland and woodland marpat (trousers, shirt and boonie), as well as a molle drop leg platform. Also a chicom chest rig for an upcoming Vietnam game, because why would I want to play as the Americans when VC sounds like so much more fun. It's my first ever Vietnam game

Bought a new Plan Beta ICU 2.0 gun camera recently. It came like many of them do with a leaky 3.7v lipo. Wouldnt work without it being plugged in. Considering it would have cost me more time and money to get a replacement which is also likely to have a leaky lipo. I decided to buy a replacement battery from China for 4 quid. Removed the old leaky battery. Soldered in the new one and wallah. It works with battery 🙂 My new cheapy action cam on my airframe helmet and mount. I wanted to use it for the first time tomorrow. But looking like the weather will be out of the question. Need to play around with it some more anyway!

Tier None Dual PVS14 bridge just arrived, now I need a second bird watching device..

This is exactly the reason I was so looking forward to the VFC MP7 AEG when it was first announced. It was the first truly new gearbox design in years and incorporated a bunch of features that are the direction all AEGs are going. I wanted to buy one immediately just to support the innovation. Unfortunately we know how that went. We got a £400 lemon that was somehow less reliable than the notorious GBB version. I'm just glad I never ended up getting one
