Golden Eagle M870 Gas
John_W and one other reacted to Cromulon1994 for a topic
Quick review of the Golden Eagle m870, as some are from rather dubious sources. I've owned all sorts from model gun company oddities to the aa12, I'm not too fussed to say if I have bought something a bit shit, frankly I'll say so. Like the WE Luger I bought and am certainly not bitter about. Anyway, It comes in a decent box, with 3 shells, and a speedloader. I'm 2,000 rounds into this gun now, backyard arsing around and a full day of cqb at the mill. It's more than the luger managed. Externally: The paint finish is average to poor, however the wood is of a relatively decent standard of finish. The controls feel positive and there's very little wobble. Skirmishing: Mine has been consistently gas tight, and you can expect 4 to 5 shells from 1 gas fill. I initially thought the gun was broken from the start, as it took a lot more effort than I expected to cock. The mechanism has taken some wearing in, getting smoother and easier as it is used. 6 shot is where it's at with this, it overhops 0.25s on 3 shot, whereas on 6 shot the grouping is perfect for airsoft use and the range is more than adequate. The same can't be said for a certain piece of Chinese made knockoff ger... Getting sidetracked. It does seem to be quite picky on shells, this may be something that beds in with further use, or it may not be., further time will tell. Something important to mention is I've had 4 or 5 jams over the course of the day, all but one very easily sorted. Most of these were this morning. This may be another case of bedding in, and is also common to the original marui. On the whole, I'd reccomend one. Unlike a WE luger, they're shit. But that's another story.2 points -
Been waiting for these to come back into stock at Gunfire - got the email notification this afternoon and ordered it straight away: The Viper Sound Tech 310 x 55 silencer / goob silencer. Mines going to go over the outer Barrel for a PhatBoi look 😎 Edit: and guinea pigs 🥰2 points

I've got a T10, and it's a good alternative. It is VSR compatible; I swapped out the guts from my Cyma 701 and they all went in no problem and work well. The fake magwell for storing a magazine is very handy, and having a straight, non-tapered outer barrel (Same ID as a G-spec) makes it better for adding barrel spacers than a VSR pro style. It's running with an AA hop unit and AA teflon cylinder, with the laylax Zero piston. (it comes with a 90 degree trigger as standard, so you save money there; despite the higher initial price of a T10 compared to a TM or clone VSR-10).2 points

The 'What have you just bought' Thread
Pappa Large and one other reacted to SeniorSpaz87 for a topic
Oh my, where to begin. After selling almost a grand in BFGs and Marui guns (I forgot how in-demand those are stateside), and receiving my first paycheck since early March I went on a bit of a shopping spree. I guess I’ll list everything since then. So to begin, guns. In late March (before I knew work was about to go away for awhile) I got a good deal on a VFC G28 LE, and an even better deal on a G28 with a cracked lower. I may try to repair the lower st some point, but it’s never going to be pretty. Instead, I had the idea to try to create a 417a2. So I have a G28 LE all decked out as a DMR, and a second upper set up as an a2 in a “Battle Rifle” configuration. I had to buy a short 417D rail and barrel, and I am in talks to get the rail cerakoted in RAL to finish the look. That’ll still take at least another month so I’m holding off on accessories until then, but I’ll likely end up with either a good ELCAN replica or Eotech XPS/G33 combo in tan/bronze. I’ll likely add a M600 light variant and a Magpul AFG, all also in bronze/FDE. Next, I’ve been sitting here bored with not much spending money and a lot of time. Begin the painting projects. FreedomStencils had Partizan stencils in stock, and Amazon had plenty of spray paints, so I ordered what I needed and rattle-canned a half decent Fall Partizan camo on my spare Maska-1 for my Tanchanka loadout. I thought, huh that was fun, let’s do another. So a second order of stencils was placed, this time in Flecktarn. Now I made things difficult on myself with both these - there are tons of tutorials on how to stencil both Partizan and Flecktarn, but very little to nothing on their tan variants; Fall Partizan and Tropentarn. My and my mates have been slowly converting to Tropentarn from the Krypteks, but helmet covers are non existent. So I figured I’d paint my helmet in Tropentarn and get a tan cover. Best of both worlds. Figuring out the color scheme and order was difficult for both, though Tropentarn has only three colors so that was fine. Spray paint helmet #2 was done, and turned out loads better than helmet #1. Pictures of both have been posted in Loadout Pics. So back to no job and a lot of free time. Well, stencils are fun, let’s do a third project. If I’m running Tropentarn then why shouldn’t I run Flecktarn as well as my green side. First, I don’t really have a good green PC. My Protech Titan Assault vest is amazing, but it’s tan. I got a good deal on a Flecktarn PC CRYE cut. While the smaller JPC style isn’t my thing, I can work with it. Next comes the helmet. Flecktarn covers do exist for FASTs, but my big head and Chinese FAST replicas don’t agree with each other, so I have since moved to the vastly superior MTEK Flux line of helmets. I was lucky to snag a pre-production model last January and it’s been my only helmet since - it’s so nice. But that helmet is now Tropentarn, so I can’t do that in Flecktarn... Well, luckily the Flux line only just released a few months ago, so time to order a green Flux. I threw some other things in with the order including some HPA grip lines. Luckily I ordered a 6-sheet set of Flecktarn stencils but only used two for my Tropentarn helmet, so I had exactly enough to attempt a Flecktarn paintjob as well. After some paint ordering fiascos (I now have 6 shades of green, 3 grey, two tan, and three brown) I finally decided on a color combination I agreed with. Begin painting. It turned out well - better than the Fall Partizan despite being one color more, but not as good as the Tropentarn. I’m not entirely happy with it - the mix of black, rust, and grey in Flecktarn combined with the black Velcro, NVG amount, and rails makes it a bit difficult to tell the helmet is a green camo. This brings me to my next and most recent purchase (I’m doing these in order of project, not necessarily order date). I’ve always ran comms at MilSims, and through work i have access to a good set of TCI Liberator II ear pro, with a mic. However the band is difficult to use inside a helmet so I need a helmet mount. The Flux uses Mlok rails instead of the Crye style, so i needed MARK attachments. I have some for my tan helmet, but I was placing an order with TNVC anyway so I ordered some in black for my green helmet. I also learned why I’ve never gotten my Libs to work on my helmet - they need an adapter called a SERA adapter to work. So add those to the cart. They’re sold out most places though TNVC had them in a tan four pack. Oh well, I might paint two of them black to match my other helmet. Now as some of you know i run NODs. Usually that’s a gen 3 PVS-7, though i do also have a single PVS-14 and a FLIR thermal monocle I can use. All these make helmets front heavy, so i meed counterweights. The FLIR and PVS-14 I can get away with only using one counterweight, but the PVS-7s are bigger and bulkier and require two. My tan helmet has a CRYE counterweight system and an EOD counterweight. If it’s broke don’t fix it, so add one of each of those in OD to the cart and place the order. Those will be here soon and then I have a decision to make. If the OD pouches + the Flecktarn are enough to ID the helmet with my Flecktarn kit as green then the helmet is done. If not, then I will paint the side rails and NVG mount OD as well. I’d rather not as I have a black FLUX cover for indoor use with my Kryptek Typhon loadout, and is like that to stay all black. We will see when that all arrives. Next is my minigun. No, not microgun. I do have a M134 minigun I use for Juggernaut games, and I may mount it on a technical some guys I run with use. However it’s hop rubber system is decayed and needs replaced. After failing to get Classic Army to help me I did some work myself and ordered 1.5mm rubber rods from McMasterCarr. Only cost $.58 a foot, so that was easy. Hopefully that will fix my minigun problem and get the massive thing off my work table. Onto to my MPX. Yes, MPX. I have one, it’s a ground up build. I’ve been after a MCX AEG grip for months to finish the build, and I finally found one off HopUp. Check that project off the list once it arrives. Since we are moving to German kits I need German patches right? So I ordered some. Some subdued German flags, some custom US/German flag hybrids in tan and Tropentarn, some miscellaneous patches, you know how it goes. Next came an order I placed back in March; a LeoKochler Combat Shirt in Tropentarn. I found one in stock in Germany, but only one. So sad. That finally arrived and is so much better than the thick BDUs I have. My custom Crye-cut Combat Pants also arrived. Took months, but they look and fell exactly like a Crye so I’m happy. Add a Tropentarn neck tube thing and I’m about done. Then I picked up a nice NVG recorder. I’ve always wanted to film some night shoots, so that’ll be fun. Next I got a great deal out of nowhere yesterday - a guy was selling a Krytac LMG complete upper, two box mags, and a complete upgraded barrel setup for about 150 quid. Couldn’t pass that up. Even if I end up reselling it later on, it was too cheap to pass up. Final thing, I swear. Since I had some spending money after selling all those BFGs I finally got a gun I’ve been after for years. A Bingo MP7. I have big plans for this thought i wont reveal them yet. So I bought the gun, 6 long mags, two short mags, another random long mag, tan rail covers and a Magpul RVG, an Acetech AT2000 for inside the Angry Gun suppressor (came hollow), an Odin MP7 adapter, and a tan HOA line and that project is on hold for now. It’ll be a real beaut once it’s done, but like the 417a2 it’ll be a bit.2 points -

@Steveocee I’ve just ordered a “knock-off” MK23 (asg) from patrolbase on Wednesday which is hopefully arriving Monday and ordered some upgrades for that from Longbow and skirmshop.nl which all has arrived, a TDC, a barrel and hop-up rubber and gonna have a tinker with that and if that goes well I’m more inclined to go the base model and upgrade/tinker as it’s needed with rifle, but if I screw up it’s not a expensive one. @Hudson Cheers for the info but it’s made my decision a touch harder, but I might hit you up a bit (if I may) if I do go down the T10 route1 point

My update is a tad less exciting than @SeniorSpaz87's update lol... suffice to say I may have just pulled the trigger on yet another TM recoil but this time a 416D.. I figured I'd just add a suppressor (already have), a vertical grip (already have) and a delta stock (need to find someone selling one) and voila I have a DEVGRU.. (blame Seal Team on SKY....meh)1 point -

The Law Your sale must be in compliance with Great British law, especially relevant; the VCRA, which has laid down various restrictions on the trade of Imitation Firearms (IF) and Realistic Imitation Firearms (RIF). Remember, the seller is responsible for checking and verifying the legality of a sale. Please see the UK Law section of the forums if you need any guidance on this and open a topic if you're unsure. None of the below is legal advice. In short: As a seller you are liable for who you're selling to. No airsoft gun can be sold to someone under the age of 18 irrespective of whether it's 2-tone or a RIF (i.e. black/realistically coloured) As a seller you must take precautions to satisfy yourself that who you're selling to has a valid defence against prosecution for owning an airsoft gun - for the majority of cases this means the person you're selling to should be an airsoft skirmisher. Some things you can check are: Skirmishing site membership UKARA database membership Photographic proof that a member is a skirmisher (i.e. pictures of them playing) In the interests of protecting the right to play airsoft in the UK, please be diligent when coordinating your sale, ensuring you adhere to the points above. Be responsible and reasonable in your requests for information on another player - do not ask for more information than you require or would be happy to give yourself, but do satisfy yourself that who you're selling to is a legitimate player. Forum Specific Rules (action will be taken against your account for disregarding these) Failure to comply with the rules will result in you receiving a ‘Forum Warning’. Warnings start with the verbal kind and steadily increase in respect of seriousness/repeat offences right through to a ban and deletion of all posts and topics along with your user account. Find out more about ‘Forum Warnings’. All sales / trades must take place between two adults (i.e. over 18 years of age). All sales and swaps must use the sales template.

All sales must have an asking price. The price must be in UK Sterling £. All sales and swaps topics must have a picture, all pictures must be taken by the seller (adding a piece of paper with your forum name and date helps, but is not a rule). Do not use a retailers pictures - take your own. You must have access to the item that you're selling.

I.e. don't 'double list' an item. You cannot have an advert in both Sales and Swaps section for the same item, just select "For sale or swap" for advert type. Once your item(s) is/are definitely sold/you've found the item you're looking for (even if the sale happened elsewhere), please mark the advertisement as 'complete' by visiting the listing and clicking 'Set as Complete'. Second hand airsoft-relevant items only. No selling/swapping of any other items, this includes offering items such as consoles for trade. There are no exceptions to this rule. No sales of knives, real guns, airguns, or any item of any description that readily fires metal munitions, metal munitions themselves, or any other weapon of any type, aside from IFs and RIFs within the legal limits.

Any advert that appears to be from a retailer will be removed. You must communicate with your buyer/seller once a transaction is initiated (i.e. ignoring their PMs or topics asking what's going on with a sale/purchase). If you complete a trade/sale of any kind via the forums, please leave feedback for the seller/buyer, this allows us to see who we can trust or who we need to keep an eye on. You may leave feedback by going here. Any suspicions about the item(s) or seller should be sent via PM to a Moderator.

Transaction Advice (action will not be taken against your account for disregarding these) When buying or trading, we recommend that you take down the following details of the other party: full name, address, telephone number, email, alternate telephone number (work or mobile). It is wise to check the address is legitimate and that the telephone number is answered by the person you are dealing with. We also recommend that you request a photo of the items with a piece of paper next to it with the sellers username and contact details written on. We recommend PayPal for online transactions due to their excellent buyer and seller protection. Bear in mind that methods such as cheque, postal order, bank transfer or other may not be protected and as a result of using them you may not be able to retrieve your losses should anything go wrong. If you are paying for goods via PayPal, please make sure your payment is labelled for goods/services. Sellers may ask you to label your payment as a gift to avoid PayPal fees. However, this will prevent you from being able to access any of the PayPal buyer protection services (i.e. if something goes wrong, your money cannot be refunded). Should sellers ask you to do this, it may be better to offer to pay the fees out of your own pocket instead. Parcelforce 48 will post RIFs if you declare the contents as an airsoft gun. We recommend them as a courier. Disputes Given the nature of trades on these forums, it's impossible for a Moderator to mediate a trade effectively without reading your personal messages (something they cannot do and will never be able to), but if you build up a reputation for being an unscrupulous buyer/seller and are non-communicative you may receive actions against your account.
