Hey mate. Currently have a couple of packages sitting at Stanstead waiting for clearance, hopefully be here by Wednesday. Motors, gears, inner barrels and springs 🙂 These will be on my website including 247mm. Don't look for them on eBay as I'm winding my account down on there.

SW(!) Tour Review of Bristol Airsoft's Courthouse is now up!

PLAYED!

Either you're trolling or this really didn't go how you planned. Either way....meh.

Well if theyve said that today then that's very positive. I will be having one.

Some very tense games today, had a few issues with a plate carrier/plot armour type earlier on but rest of the day was pretty on point. Seen to have found the favour of the leaf gods apparently, spent a good chunk of a fallback game hiding behind a bit of a hedge that had no right stopping as much plastic as it did. Was pleasantly surprised to find the lct worked pretty much flawlessly all day without major issue. Of course managed to lose a mag, the hubris of friction based holders....

Praise where it's due, this is a pretty honest advert.

Thats interesting, I hope they havent axed them either. I did message Northeast and they said they were looking at a mid 2021 release date, that was only today so who knows. Thats the reason for this post too ahaha, no one else would understand my giddiness

Some fun images I did in my kit this evening, hope you enjoy as much as I did being a big kid playing pretend soldiers 🤣 Unterscharführer Zimmermann signals to his section to hold position while he checks the next set of hedgerows with his dienglas for enemy movement. When the time is right he signals them to move up quickly to capitalise on the situation.

Part one of the outdoor mask build well underway ! Converting a ski mask that my spectacles fit under - mesh conversion done now waiting on the “goo” to arrive ;/

Don’t let anyone try and tell you the ‘accurate’ right way to wear it The ‘right’ way is on the trouser leg, but those dirty cut throats didn’t follow dress regulations What you will need is a toggle rope. Not nearly rolled up, but probably around your waist. Ready made toggle ropes come at a heafty price, but can be made. This isn’t the right version, but with a good sized piece of real rope and a decent broom handle etc you can compare the above and below videos and could make a convincing example .... and lets not miss an opportunity to mention my unbeaten tradition at our branch dinner nights to be last man standing in the bar every time - the first being one of the last two in the bar in the early hours with a modern green bereted officer until he decided it was bedtime. My only problem was the early morning start that followed to head out for a site visit, but a final fresh air walk and a couple of pints of water enabled me to wake up and be ready before the calls I had booked came through making sure I could roll out of bed

@B.S awesome loadout pics, and once i have some more money i intend on making my own ww2 loadout, most likely british airborne troops at arnhem. I have a mk2 sten i bought recently through the classifieds, and i had the same issue with loading the mags.... until i saw a video from northeast themselves that show them using a speed loader. They hold a finger either side of the feed lips to keep bbs from popping out either side and then use the speed loader to force the bbs straight down through the top of the feed lips into the magazine. Its a bit fiddly, but its less of a ballache than loading 32 bbs by hand Pic of my sten included below, posing besides james hollands new book i acquired last week. Im also wondering if there is a way to get a barrel assembly seperate as a spare part, so i can get the end of the outer barrel machined out. That way i can fit a longer inner barrel to use with the mock suppressor

I'd be playing airsoft, but I live with ppl over 65 so it's not really possible. Very sad.

I feel like a floodgate just opened.....

Okay. My airsoft day has been spoiled even before starting. A little bit of boring context first. We live in a sea town, we don't really play (as in organized games) in the summer, we usually call it quits around mid June and resume in early September. If we feel like playing we gather a bunch of people from different clubs and have a skirmish somewhere. Then we have tournaments, two types mainly (4 hours and 8 hours, one year we do the 4h ones, the year after we do 8h, you get the idea) with some 12/24h events thrown in, but they are quite rare. At the 4 hour long ones, the minimum age threshold is 16, 18 for the longer 8 hours ones as there are more "safety" risks involved. More on that later if anyone's interested. Due to the slowly dying community here, in the past we've resorted to inviting other clubs so we could reach a reasonable number of players (15 total, on average), including the cheater team I have mentioned several times, both in the OP and in various threads/statuses. We also have a few father/son couples playing with us, they really make it fun as they are always on opposing teams so they can settle every affair they might have (seriously tho, they are freaking hilarious at times). We happen to have this F&S pair who are friends with the cheater club's president, so they always push to invite them and often play with them during the summer break. The dad is a cool cat, he just wants to sling plastic with his friends from both clubs, fair player who calls his hits and brings laughter. His son, though, has been behaving like a cunt for the past year or so. Decent player with a great ego, he couldn't attend tournaments because of his age (he's turning 18 in a short time), the only one he could attend was a bit disappointing for him as another person was picked. Always tries to stand out (the bad way) from the crowd, expects to be praised for the individual plays (team game? Hello?) and, most importantly, gets super upset when someone points out any mistakes he might have made. /boring prelude. Let's jump to present day, I'm organizing the 2nd official game after the summer break. The 2 people aforementioned said that they wouldn't play because they were busy with family stuff (completely fine with it, family trumps everything else). 6 people, shit, not enough, so I started asking other clubs too, when I called the cheater club's president he told me they were playing with another club (completely fine with it as well) and that the 2 guys were joining him (NOT fine with that). Now, if you join a soccer team, the team expects you to play with them. You can't join X club but then play with Y only, it's not very respectful of X. I did just call the kid asking what was it about and he told me his will to permanently join the other club because we never let him play tournaments. Now, let's pause that for a second. Since he joined us he could not participate in tournaments because he wasn't of age: 2018 (16yo min) he was 15 2019 (18yo min) he was 16 2020 (16yo min) we got the 'rona. 2021 (same 2020 series, postponed because of the virus) he'd be 18, so he could play and we are always happy to have new people in the competitive team. I pointed that out to him and he suddenly hung up the phone. Oh, we also have a somewhat bland "don't come back policy" that both guys are well aware of, if a member has an issue with the team or one of the members, we try to discuss it and come to a solution together. If the member leaves without actually giving an explanation, joins another club but then wants to come back, heh, train has been missed mate. We actually try to solve problems. I fully expect them to regret their decision and try to join us back within 2 months. So yeah, tomorrow will be a sad skirmish, regardless of what happens..
