On the side of the magwell just below the round counter . it wasn’t cheap came from the states , but I think worth it , it’s ever so slightly 3D like an embossed name plate .

What connector does it have ? If it’s a Tameya swap it for a deans asap , much better flow from the batt to the gun .👍 ____________________________________________________________________________________ Nothing toooooooo epic , picked up an armor's stock plate for the pulse rifle .

Also have to take in to consideration how ham fisted you are with the trigger , I’ve seen players run through thousands of BBs in a game and I’d be surprised if their guns even make 4mths let alone 6-9 or even 12mths ! Where as I’ve got a couple of TM recoils (as has one of my team mates as well)that are easily over 12yrs old but as I run predominantly single only there still running fine AND still totally stock bar a deans instead of a tamiya . The longevity of your kit does come down to how you treat it as well

Don’t take yourself too seriously bud; remember you are playing soldier every other Sunday too 😎

Devils advocate: Maybe this person can't join up for reasons beyond their control (medical grounds, disabilities or age for instance) but wishes to live out this fantasy in the nearest way possible. I say go for it, dress up. If you felt obligated to do so you could explain to those who look concerned/disgruntled as to why you're in the attire you've chosen. Show them your best "war face" and kill them all. Live your dream. Enjoy it and have fun. Just don't wear medals, take the role too seriously or use corps/regiment/branch slang/try to pass off as a genuine. Its not like you're walking around in public like this (which is wrong and would bring your integrity, morales and respect into question). Oh, almost forgot......take your hits.

Finally… The cm16 showed up the other day, from bullseye country sport as no one else had them in stock. The service there has been spot on so far incidentally! As well as the proprietory g&g 400rd hi cap I got four of the 200rd battleaxe mid cap mags too, I’m one of those who hates winding mags with a passion😂😂 They’re slightly longer than normal STANAG mags and as such only just fitted into the plce pouches but give a great capacity for skirmishes. Asg speed loader too and now waiting for next payday so I can grab a titan li-ion battery for it. Got a carry handle from another member on here as I think it gives the gun a little more purpose to its look 🤔

depending on price I may pick one up to stick a gearbox in

i'm afraid i don't really know. an awful lot of intentional "weathered" looks tend to end up not looking right to me, seems to be a hard art to master. tbh, just using the thing for a while is how i'd go about it.

Didnt realise unicorns came in different colours. I'll have one in diamond with rainbow racing stripes please.

Unless the gun is dead out the box warranties are pretty much worhless as trying to prove it wasn't user error is well difficult. Next question have you modified it in anyway as that would invalidate any warranty even its just changing the connectors. It would be nice if airsoft guns were universally reliable and long lasting but even the high end guns are just cheap toys for what they are expected to actually do.

I understand exactly where you're coming from. I love my MWS and the way you need to discipline yourself to only take the shots you think you can hit, the immersion of reloading under fire etc. However, GBBRs, even the mighty MWS can be temperamental and suffer with performance anxiety, especially this time of year in the UK. Having a backup AEG ready to go is recommended, just in case.

@Mr. No_Face aye balls deep for sure. After playing and using the rentals I knew I loved the game but... one of the main fascinations I have with firearms is the mechanical beauty of them. How everything works with each other and you can hear parts clink and tink as they engage and move etc.. so for me it had to be a GBBR. As well as he realism factor of the mag counts was another reason. When I played with hi cap rentals I would be counting my shots and imagining reloading etc. And then finally the recoil and noise.. with almost zero feedback from an aeg and the zzzt sound was just not pleasing. The GBBR platform offers everything else on top of what hooked me into playing.

Picked up the KTAR front flap for some added security with MWS mags, landed some sweet Shot Show goodies in the process.

In the spirit of showing my AEGs some love, today the AK got the sling I've been saying I'll buy for the last 18 months. Just need to source those elusive metal mid-caps now

guess they don't need to warranty a gun if it got burned by a battery that couldn't take it. not gonna lie, i'd rather a shredded piston than a battery fire any day of the week. which probably explains why my shredded piston collection is a thing but my burned battery collection isn't.....

So at £210 and in stock new, do we make that £140 for the used RIF and hi-cap and.... £30 each for the "brand new" (used) mid-caps?

apparently they're no longer being made and are hard to find edit: i see i've been beaten to the punch on that one......

Got my hope up with that price I have a ca sa58 I wanted to shift lol

I'll just leave this here 😏 Wants L1A1 money for a JG 🤣

My first brand new AEG was back in 2004, was a G&G LR300S, cost around £500 to get it shipped from Redwolf HK, broke on 1st game. I would have loved 14 outings in 6 months 🙂 In all seriousness QC has got better but not to the point where I'd personally trust one not to develop a fault within the 1st 6 month - just so much to go wrong. That's just my own personal view, as @Rogerborg states there's nothing stopping you asking your payment processor to initiate a chargeback.

i did meet a 1903 in the local brick and mortar a while back (read: several years) and it felt pretty nice (dunno what brand it was mind). good thing with that option is you'll more easily be able to get an appropriate sidearm compared to trying to find a webley/nagant. couldn't say what brand it was but seemed solid enough. the only thing with the gas variants is they seem to run short bolt throws, which i'm personally not too much of a fan of.

whilst the never fired line is bs, i mean if you've never fired it how would you know if it worked or not? however generally airsoft warranties do tend to have the issue that the way we use our pews means sellers are very conscious about how feasible it is for a malfunction to be user error. it's why you have the whole "11.1v ready" malarkey, it's not that guns without that rating can't run perfectly well on 11.1v, it's just a way of getting out of a potential claim. i swear this is the only reason mini tamiya is still a thing......

Finally received my first load out 😁 super happy with it. Had a little plink in the garden last night and my face lit up brighter than the tracer! and picked and plucked some foam too. Tokyo Marui M4A1 GBBR 6 extra mags with mag pulls Parra Sabre case Bifrost tracer Flashlight 4x Acog style with mini RMR Standard RMR Scope style RMR Acetech Chrono Viper Tech chest rig and dump pouch Sling Shit ton of gas and bbs Grease and oil And more... Can't wait to skirmish it for the first time on Sunday Plenty of space left in the case for a side arm and mags when I can get one too

Finished my covers for the MTW, not great but I am still new using a sewing machine lol.

Yes, unicorns cum in many colours

If you need anymore pictures of it let me know and I can take some for you .👍 there’s one that goes on the other side I’m trying to track down , no luck so far 🤬

Sounds like you're all set then! I use the same gas and ASG BBs are decent. I use Devil Blasters and want to try Open Blasters too. Good experience with Geoffs Precision too. You'll find the MWS is so easy to get loads of external bits and bobs for. Just go with what you want, but try and avoid Angry Gun parts if there are other manufacturers, as they seem to be really hit and miss.

Yeah some people call them t plug

aye bit of natural weathering will work wonders. what little painting i've done has ended up looking a lot better after it's been worn in a while.

Yeah the greens/browns defo looking better in the light. Still think a general darkening might help it out. But the patterning for sure looks good, and i'm liking the preservation of details like the grip/trigger/upper/screw heads rather than the "fuck it, spray the whole thing" approach you so often see.

And here she is. Also picked up a crye shirt, and some trousers on the cheap

I doubt it looking at it. Sears are usually smooth faced. I think that the Hamster is right (yet again), they look more like spring guide retainers. You never know though without stripping one down. The horizontal faces on the two half rounds look like they may connect. Anyhow... I've dropped onto a wooden stocked Snow Wolf K98. Thanks @EvilMonkee for the info. I read up tonight and some Soviet units were issued captured K98s, so my WWII loadout is complete weapon wise too. спасибо товарищ!

Parcel arrived within a week of ordering Customs presented no problem Very happy with the service provided by Airsoft Entrepot Recommended

Totally fugly & using a good but flawed pistol(according to the number of posts I've seen with people needing to replace parts), suspect anybody that buys it will soon be disappointed when: A. Their "rifle" can't compete with others on the playing field. B. Trying to use it as a dedicated rifle causes to much wear & tear = repeated component failure. Pistol carbine kits are OK if you don't expect performance equivalent to dedicated full size primaries, especially full auto aeg's.

14 outings in 6 months & a piston likely stripped, irrespective of the retailers dick attitude, I think in all fairness that's quite a bit of wear & tear so not unheard of for a piston to lose teeth. Justifying a claim using "laws" that were never written with fragile Airsoft toys in mind would be a dick move on your part. IMHO 🤔

didn't know they did that. that's spectacularly bad, the absolute last component that should be responsible for capping amp draw is the battery being made to supply more than it's rated to......

And retailer and manufacturers specifying a maximum C rating (but not amps!), which is bonkers and seems to have no purpose other than to allow teeth sucking and "Ooh, that's user abuse, that is, didn't you read the small print?"

There only if not fired line is bullshit. Your statutory rights say it has to be fit for purpose, which is firing bb’s. However problem is you’ve had it six months, you cant prove its not been used. If you can go see them face to face, let em see how clean and bused it looks. Perhaps they’ll change there view. Perhaps agree that if they fix it you’ll pay for some minor upgrades while there on. However if you dont trust em go somewhere else like Neg Earth.

I've been so preoccupied getting my MWS set up, I'd neglected my NGRS 416. A quick trip across the border to Kingdom of Airsoft for a service, a little power and gearbox tweak, and it's fantastic again.

Bought a reproduction 1913 sling for the Lee Enfield from a seller on eBay. turned up today and already installed in its proper place

Loads of advice in this post. It's well worth your time to read as much as you can as most of your questions will have been answered, especially if you're new to the platform. It's never a bad idea to try something as it is, straight out of the box before considering upgrades. One thing I found from reading 200+ pages of this before I received mine, is that the MWS needs very little doing to it, if anything, to be fantastic. You'll find the majority of 'upgrades' people do are external.

This is a question that has been asked a few times but then they don’t come back to tell us what happened An orange tip is no good, that’s the American system for ‘toy’ (Back in the 70s here it used to be for toys that could not shoot anything, and only had a dummy barrel) In the UK to prevent it being a RIF it would have to be painted one of a set list of bright colours, covering more than 50% of the body The law here covering whether or not you can import (or buy) a RIF is the VCRA To do so you require a ‘defence’ which is the intended purpose - the applicable purpose is ‘airsoft skirmishing on insured sites’ or in other words ‘playing airsoft’ The UKARA is a retailers trade scheme that counts players attendance at member sites then grants UKARA membership for a year. This is not a legal requirement, but is the best known scheme to ‘prove’ you are an airsoft skirmisher You therefore need to convince customs when it comes through, whether that is by courier or packed in your luggage Options are: Try to convince them that you are an airsoft skirmisher Paint it, and you can then later clean off the paint as long as you aren’t damaging any current finish Package your RIFs and leave them behind, come here, play some games, get UKARA membership, then get someone to post them with the relevant info

Yep, did some research on the internet and that was what was recommended! Seemed to work ok. Used regular Dylon Machine dye even thought that doesn’t work on synthetics it does work on the 60% of the fabric that is cotton.

Just arrived I am shocked at the hand done stippling on the pump & grip The build quality seems exceptional, a very solid substantial piece of kit Chuffed to bits with it (so far) 😂

Went into shop today to buy some 0.48's for my mate...and a few little bits for myself. (3000mAh 7.4 Titan, couple of flashmags, some BB's for myself) Ended walking out with this as well..... Bugger! (Added on Trijicon & real M4 stock when I got home - Now to clean the barrel & Flathop it) E&C (This will get a couple of skirmishes, then be painted up and mounted on a Plaque)

Replacing my cheapo ASG Balance charger with a recognised good 'un, the SkyRC T100, because my Titan battery decided to die on me. Not sure if I had a short in my AK, but it blew the internal fuse. I've got a replacement coming under warranty and I might as well charge it up on a better charger from the off. Bought the Deans cable and a couple of balance charger extender leads too.

Nice did he do that? I was thinking of going for something like this on my new build: This is what I have as a base: Thinking of getting a PDW9 stock, getting it cerakoted like that pic, but with touches of gold, like the MPX in the new matrix: What d'you guys think?

Not necessarily, I turned up at a site years ago, & a team turned up, teens & early twenties, total shower of shit bar one, he claimed to have previously been TA & still had access to berets & cap badges, so in his infinite wisdom thought would mark them out as a team if they all wore them. Thing is, it was my regiments beret & badge, I worked hard for mine & I'd had a couple of mates die wearing theirs, so seeing a bunch of long haired wankers make absolute cnuts of themselves in them really fucked me off, & I told them so🤬. While that situation is rare, my experience shows it can happen, so I'd always tell people in threads like this, be careful, act with respect & if in doubt, don't do it.
