MWS No. 2 has arrived! This one is destined to become a 416D courtesy of a HAO Industries conversion kit... Made possible with a very persuasive boss (a fellow airsofter) and a belated 2019 Christmas bonus burning a hole in my pocket! 😂 Updates to follow of course as and when parts arrive. 😁

A boring Systema? Wash your mouth out with a bottle of whiskey sir! But only if it’s a 18yr old single malt 😂. Why did you have to go and mention Seal Team? Now you have gone and done it. I’ll have to sit through all the episodes again for HK inspiration 😂

Important stuff in bold. Message and content allowances for new accounts Following a large recent spam wave (where numerous bot accounts circumvented our captcha and anti-flood restrictions by posting as legitimate sign-ups), steps need to be taken to limit the amount of spam that a single account can conduct before being found and closed down. Currently there are few restrictions on how many messages you can send as a new member. As a new member, you can have up to 250 total conversations with 8 total recipients in each. Meaning that - with the right script - you could send as many as 2,000 notifications every 15 minutes to users of the forums. This happened last night with approximately 50 new accounts, so you can imagine it was putting quite a strain on the webserver (not to mention the illicit spam being sent out to legitimate forum users). As of last night (06/12/20): when signing up you will only be able to have a total of 10 conversations with up to 4 recipients in each as well as only being able to make 10 posts or comments a day. After one week this restriction will automatically lift. If you are reading this post as an existing member who signed up before last night, your account will not be affected by this change (even if you only signed up two days ago). We do not wish to discourage new sign-ups by not allowing them to communicate with sellers on the Classifieds (our main source of new members) or preventing them from participating in discourse at all. This restriction is only present to restrict the amount of spam that might flood the website at one time so that moderators have a chance to react and shut it down. Increased bot protection A simple tweak to our 'security level' in Cloudflare* means that you may be presented with an access challenge (basically another captcha) to check that you aren't a bot. Although we already use invisible reCAPTCHA on our sign-up form, don't be surprised to see this new Cloudflare captcha for a few days as it learns to 'trust' your device/browser (for most of you, you'll see nothing).

Used to play at Trojan Airsoft but have it up when we had kids but back on it now. I'm a 39yo fat dude, hence meal team six. Looking to start at level 2 in Atherton, it looks ace

2020 ending, UK left EU - What a crazy hour! Am hoping 2021 is soooooo much better!

Pretty much why I'm holding out for theirs over the archwick kit due out at some point.... Although all this talk of 416's has got me thinking now 🤣🤣🤣

Definitely you.

You just know that's going to be a lovely kit! I'm sure they will sell very well.

If I was interested in the item I would have messaged you simple as that...! Your original ad was worded in such a way it was very open to interpretation. The whole reason Macks exists is to help our members/community in their decision making when buying second hand RIFS... the fact you have now changed your advert is good. The thread has served it's purpose... End of Story!

yeah that does make figuring things out a lot easier.

thing is it's the buyers perspective. it's what people see when they look at that ad. for example i'll walk you through my thought process as i look at that ad: it's an evo, a gun that is known to be a pretty high standard out of the box and in a lot of cases people who attempt to "upgrade" the base tend to end up making it a lot worse. so the first question is what bits are in it? are they better than standard? well i don't know because it doesnt say in the ad. the next question is have the parts been assembled correctly? well that comes down to the skill of the tech, as there's no big name drop of a professional tech (eg if you'd paid someone like negative airsoft or the like to do the work) then the assumption is that you've done the work yourself. so how can i assess your personal competence as a tech? well i haven't got much to go on as i don't know you personally or your reputation. so the only thing i can really go on is the ad itself. of course as i mentioned, if the effort hasn't been put into the ad then it begs the question has the effort been put into the gun? and with a lack of information it's just human nature to assume the worst. this isn't meant to be insulting btw, this is meant to be constructive criticism, to point out where people who might otherwise be very interested in buying might change their minds and decide that maybe grabbing a brand new gun that comes with a warranty and they know will perform to a given standard is the safer option.

I'm looking forward to this build... I'm still sitting here patiently waiting for their L119A2 MWS kit, but the Hao kits seem really well made 👍

I'm going to order the black version along with FDE accessories, intending to go for a 'Clay Spenser' inspired build based on the rifle he uses in 'Seal Team' Something like this but not a boring Systema... 😂 https://thereptilehouseblog.com/2019/03/02/seal-team-clay-spenser-inspired-416-dmr-build/amp/ So a quad rail with a 14.5" barrel which means I'll also be getting Hao's barrel extension kit along with a few other bits.

That is a fair point, maybe put this down as a lower mid range dream? So he wants folk to contemplate skipping the known high performing quantity that is a standard evo for one with upgrades that may or may not have actually improved the gun without listing what said upgrades are?

Iirc isnt the mp5 trigger extended compared to standard m4? If its the same pattern i'm thinking of it wont fit. Thing is the mp5 i was working on was a horrific mish mash but pretty sure the shell was cyma

@RMDavis oh lord... I will follow your posts closely because I want to do the same thing when I get the funds together. Are you going for the FDE or black version?

Splendid....looking forward to the build pics....

Thanks mate, I hope so! From what I have read there's a few external parts needed like a stock and a grip which of course are down to personal preference. Internally the inner barrel and hop unit are used, and everything inside the lower receiver including the buffer and spring. Looks like forward assist is used also. I will try and get plenty of photos up before, after and during the build.

Might not be the most help but if its the selector plate style i'm thinking off (using the gearbox hole that's the small body pin on an m4) then its an absolute bastard to get in the right position. I'd love to tell you how to sort it but last time i worked on it i'm pretty sure it took about 100 attempts followed by immediately blanking the whole experience from memory.

I'm sure that's quite possibly part of it, but it's likely a lot of the price was down to the fact they would have had (maybe) a couple of hundred made and tiny production quantities like that are going to incur very high prices. If anyone has the inside track at RW and knows different for a fact I'd be interested to hear it, but the aforementioned is the general rule in manufacturing.

And don’t forget having F-all in stock as well as stupid prices ? 🤦‍♂️ BUT to be fair my self (and I’m very confident I can say this)and all my airsoft amigos Could count on less than one finger how many times we’ve bought or sold 2nd hand goods outside the uk ?

generally i'd assume pistol issuance in militaries falls into 2 broad categories: people who aren't really meant to be using them that much if at all (officers, cooks, engineers, tank crew etc, you can say the same for infantry sidearms too because they're meant to use a rifle) spoopy special forces people, who presumably will be so well practiced that using a dot or irons would be as much a matter of personal preference/particular mission as anything else. i cant tell if i should interpret that as you being really bad at hipfiring pistols or really good at throwing stuff

.....throw the feckin thing at em! 🤭🤭 Regards

Because the majority of england voted to leave twice? Regards

Now thats a loaded question. Edgi seem to be very highly regarded when it comes to top of the line, but you're talking bespoke craftsmanship. Personally i'm a big fan of the pdi stainless steel stuff pricey but good quality. For a more budget option the zci 6.02 stainless barrels @ak2m4 sells punch well above their pricetag for performance.

I have been playing in really cold temps, -2° with snow covering the gun at points. My Sniper Mechanic Flamingo bucking has been pretty crap in the cold, I cannot recommend. I switched the rubber back to a 65° Modify X and saw a great improvement. I also recently switched from MAPP to Guarder Power Up black gas, and am otherwise running a RA Tech black NPAS, 303/6.02mm inner, TM nozzle, HAO lightweight bolt, SixG nub and HSB, with GG modded mags, and .32 Geoffs. After being outside for hours and covered in snow I am seeing a minimum of 1 joule, around 270 fps on the .32's. Inside my house my chrono is saying 380 ish on a .20, so around 1.3 J. I am really impressed with the Guarder black gas. Are there any other softer buckings I can try to help with the consistency of shots? My first few shots after not firing for a few minutes weren't great, and I was finding I had to apply several more clicks of hop than usual. Having said that, I was firing the MWS from an elevated position down into a valley and getting hits from miles away. I was having to burn through mags, but after a few ranging shots I was getting solid hits at well beyond 60 metres. I'm very impressed, although it's still tricky going up against open day skirmish 300 bb hi cap spray and pray merchants.

Very nice WWII gear pics here! Hope it's ok to just post gun-pics aswell, as I don't play or reenact, just collect I'll start with one of the very few non-airsoft modelguns in the collection: Shoei FG42 late version. If you ever get the opportunity to get your hands on one of these, take it! They re superbly built and incredibly nice collector's pieces. Had 2 of them for a while, the one without scope is sold by now. The one with scope has a very rare real ZF4 with even rarer, highly professionally reproduced Krieghoff mount rings made of steel.

We've had a sighting. A little birdy tells me he's been commenting on Negative Airsoft videos. I'm not one to dox, so do your own due diligence boys and girls...you didn't hear it from me.

Bought my first gas pistol today. Just the standard TM 5.1. lovely build quality and feel in the hand. Keeping it standard until something breaks then I'll upgrade it.

If it gets cancelled, everyone will have their money back. And ill try to book again for later in the year.

£80 for a baby carrier is a bargain, that it is also crye and tactical is amazing! My LennyLamb cost £120 I still swear by it but needed a bag as well. Think about it, tactical nappy changes!

Brexit was cooked up by Tory backbenchers like Rees-Mogg to protect their investments from the upcoming EU tax evasion laws. It was never about independence or taking back control.

TBH, i have found price differences on the polish sites of AEG's to be regulary at least £20 to £30 cheaper than a UK seller. In some cases £100 cheaper. Also, you know brexit was a good idea when business people who were pro-leave do this... https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/brexiteer-billionaire-jim-ratcliffe-moves-his-land-rover-production-to-eu-nj3fkckkk Clearly they were only in on it to make more money, or dont actually care about 'made in britain'

There will no doubt be a few weeks of disruption and then things will settle back down. After the economic upheaval of covid I dont really think Brexit is going to be too bad in the grand scheme of things

Problem is, many UK retailers use the likes of TaiwanGun (AKA Krakman) in a wholesale capacity - UK prices will likely go up as well.
