Working on customizing my Secutor. Going to paint the bipod at some point, camo the scope and suppressor, and paracord braid the hand guard..

Don’t know if it’s just me and my general hatred of all things ‘social media’(which I think is a total oxymoron should be called ANTI-social media the shit it causes !)but are some of the status updates on here seeming to be getting more and more like a ‘farcebook’ update ? I keep expecting to log in to the forum and see a “I’m fuming !” or a “never trust a snake !” Followed by a “what’s up hun ?” THEN followed by a “PM me !” 😳 Yea I’m old and grumpy as fornication .

Or putting the gun down, stricking the cap, waiting for the glorious plume of colourful smoke to emerge before throwing...... only for it to actually be a thunderflash. I have never done that, not ever, honest

Poor lad, Comes along here with a heart full of excitement and motivation only for you bullies to make him realise in the blink of an eye that as good as the motivation is in his heart, his head is full of broken bottles! We will hear about him on the news in a couple of weeks, been running around the local park with his mates playing with RIF’s on the adventure playground! Half term has a lot to answer for 😂

🤐 Payday tomorrow, alreadying prioritising my next purchases 😁

I doubt that there is a single member of this forum who should be allowed out of the house with wallet and without adult supervision

That’s because “they” skip Modern Studies class to smoke tabs at the back of the bike shed while playing Top Trumps Or was that my education in the 80’s-90’s?

I'm still amused that op ran away. Imagine if he actually got a site up and running and someone had a complaint. NOOOOO, I'M GOING AWAY!

OMG honestly babe I just done the biggest shit ever! omg omg it's huge.

Hi all, Thanks for the advice, I pulled the trigger (pun intended) on the M904g. Had an email saying it's arriving today so really impressed with that! Thanks for all of your advice!

It's half term in some parts of the country. Normal service should hopefully return soon

Half term ‘nuff said ? 🤦‍♂️

I'm sure that's the SOP for some site owners

With regards to any CNC slide, there is no guarantee that they will be a drop in fit just because it is CNC or it is made by a certain manufacturer, no matter how pricey. Throw in an aftermarket outer barrel by another maker and then see what happens. That said; from experience: Prime, Nova, PGC, Detonator and Shooters Design are all what I would class as quality manufacturers. With regards to weight, on a Western Arms 1911 the standard slides used to weigh the same or 5gms less than an equivalent aluminium slide (Prime/PGC/SD). Western Arms do use a heavy weight plastic in most cases. With Marui though, the metal slide is more than likely to be a bit heavier than the original plastic slide. Some models more than others. The good news is that the heavier slide gives more of a recoil impulse. Gas efficiency will vary depending on model, but without making an exhaustive list, with an SD slide on an HK45 you can easily rapid fire a magazine without issue. Obviously if you are looking to fire the gun in -5c with 134a or just want 5 mags of BBs off per fill then a metal slide is not for you As you asked in particular about the HK45, then in this instance I am only referring to the HK45. Each gun model needs to be taken on a case by case basis. I have fitted both Detonator and SD slides to HK45s. I would class both as a drop in fit. Both have Creation metal outer barrels which fit both slides without issue. The Detonator is a better finished slide. The quality and evenness of machining is better and so are the markings. Blowback feels similar with both metal slides. In the first two pictures below the tan frame has the Detonator slide and black frame has the SD. There is nothing wrong as such with the cosmetics of the SD slide (depending on how fussy you are*), it is just the Detonator one is 'better'. *For that reason (and because I am pedantic), I ended up getting a second Detonator slide for the black one as seen in the second two pictures. You can compare the photos below which may hopefully guide your decision.

Cheap suppressor cover to try for the looks

And the power is finally back. Taken a loooooooong shower and booked a Skirmish for the weekend. Thanks for putting up with my moaning, lads 😁

Dis, right here

I'd say the OP shouldn't be allowed out of the house with an open wallet, without adult supervision. If he tried to 'run a business' he'd spend the rest of his life broke and a drain on taxpayer's money!

This. I went to a site last year where they had a rule that kevlar barrel socks must be used and could be bought or borrowed (with a deposit) from the site. When I said I didn't know about it, I was told its on the faceache page. When I mentioned it might be a good idea to put it on the website as well for those of us who don't do Facebook the member of staff didn't seam too happy

Do you mean like a player who puts their gun down against a tree, throws some smoke getting the attention of the photographer, posing for a photo shoot then ambling along to catch up with the action? I have never done that, not ever, honest

Oi, you got a loicence to sell them permits? OP's big brain thinking: "Right, Nardo, I've had a stable genius idea, all I need from you is to do all the work, take all the risk, collect all the money, then send it all to me. Don't bother paying any local taxes, rents or utility bills, because obviously they don't apply to me." I'm not entirely comfortable that this lad has even got his hand on two tones.

I have some terrible news for you: Forums are social media too

Probably off to zero wank or faceache to whine about how the bigger boys were mean to him

Why did the sperm cross the road? Because I put the wrong socks on this morning

@Skullchewer, no offence intended, but in line with your post apocalyptic loadout, surely regular showers are frowned upon, I'm pretty sure Wez & Toecutter didn't cane the Lynx gift sets in mad max😜

I just got a job as a cuckoo in a cuckoo clock. It’s not the best job in the world, but it gets me out of the house.

OP has left the building...

Never underestimate the sheer power of Airsoft, one minute your a noob asking about "speshul licences", next thing your Alan Sugar intent on world domination 🤣 PS to say that it's never been done in "said" country but is legal there is absolutely humongous bollocks, Airsoft is a global sport, & even the countries its not legal in, such as Cyprus for example, still have groups of players who do their best to stay under the radar, while at the same time getting out to play regularly. Prove us wrong, where is this magical land just ripe for conquering 🤔

Your want to start an Airsoft business, you've crunched the numbers and have determined that it will be profitable, but you don't know what you need..... Yup, winning. Hold up, weren't you the one asking about shooting two Tone RIFs in your local woods not long ago? Seriously, I would educate yourself A LOT on this hobby before you start trying to run a business around it 🤦🏼

I sell international Airsoft permits. £5K for six months. PayPal (F&F) only please.

Obviously North Korea

Go on then, what country is it? I mean, no one cares enough on here to nick your genius idea, so you may as well spill the beans.

They do sit flush , that’s why I sanded barely half a mil off the bottom edge of the grips . Would have driven me mental if their had been a gap no matter how small ! 🤯 .

My favourite part is that he seems to think the UK is the only country where businesses pay taxes

Its essentially locktite'd on. Like an orange tip but more extreme. Youll need to get it quite hot, then wrap something around it (its metal, so itll be hot) and unscrew. Its a PITA to do.

Or stood in the shed sorting through old pyro separating the good from the battered, damaged strikers etc before taking them off for a ‘safe’ bang (the ones that have suffered from battering, or failed but not left in a field to be picked up by kids) One of which having previously been an old school paper mache style BB grenade but only had the strip of striker tip, fuse & bang remaining Straight to the ‘dispose’ pile But touching along the workbench as passing it over…… and Hiss…… Followed by prompt dropping Followed by looking at the stack of pyro besides a hissing fuse Pick up the hissing fuse Turn around to throw out the door behind Glance at the open kitchen door behind the shed Drop fuse Stand on fuse Feel thud Be thankful for not stepping out in bare feet

And currently you can still buy any kind of crossbow at 18, with no permit or anything required. 🤷🏼 Crazy m

Since UKARA is just a central register of site membership (all UKARA numbers are created by sites) I'd be minded to contact the site directly, if for no other reason than that they might come back with "Joe Bloggs? We punted him for being a mental case." Are you really that bothered though? I can point at several retailers who accept bogus "defences", or none at all, without consequence for them.

Yeah, but Wez and Toecutter both died. In Mad Max 2 you see Max washing at one point. Clearly he survives cos he has fresh under crackers. Also: here we are, Thursday morning, still no power. I am very stinky pew 🤣 I bought a crappy Chinese peq from fleabay, it has a cover that adjusts the beam. It also offered to check my phone messages for me 🤔

Some shops will check it for you (I can't remember which right now, but I'm sure someone will post soon). If they're a site member then try contacting the site

Just ordered a new makarov holster from russia. Also going to make myself a leather one.

Ah I hadn't checked until recently. Had sort of presumed as this thread was near the top constantly, that there must still be issues. So by several, they mean loads of weeks lol I do find it interesting that they seem to be able to send RIFs to the UK for YouTube reviewers etc, but not for paying customers.

A British Airways flight reached cruising altitude when the pilot came over the intercom "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to BA fight 121 from Heathrow to New York. The weather forecast is good so we should have a smooth ride, landing at approximately five thir OH FUCK" After a long silence came back on the intercom "I'm sorry if I scared you then ladies and gentlemen, it's just that a flight attendant spilt coffee on my lap. The front of my trousers are ruined" "That's nothing" shouted a passenger, "you should see the back of mine"

I am going to generalise but since covid i have found every site i have been to a little lack luster. Our local site.. The late the great Combat South ( pours drink ) closed. So we have tried lots of other sites and have not yet found one we would go back to regularly. We have had some fun, don't get me wrong. Sadly the effort most sites seem to be putting OR equally the lack of staff they seem to have these days seems fairly noticeable. I am no Combat South fan boy ( Love you Russ ) . They had some games that didn't work and honestly most weekends were a rinse and repeat of tried and test scenarios. But it was always delivered to a high standard, the marshal's were visible and engaged. They also provided a high quality lunch. (Which i do not understand why other sites who are now charging upwards of £25 a person, do not provide something so basic. Well not without an additional fee. Tight asses) I am hoping that as Covid fucks off, that competition for players returns and the the sites start upping their effort. Or i'm just jaded and overly entitled.... Or due to the great sites being lost to housing developers that the glory days of airsoft are dead. Or because today's airsofter seems to be weak, whiny and scared of being drilled full auto. Or its the speed softers fault. .......... it is speed softers fault

So in a job lot of bits a while ago I gotna hfc mauser carbine with no furniture. After some tweaking and sourcing a mag it works well and now im building a stock and handguard for it. This is the progress so far.

Elton John has hired a rabbit as his personal trainer. It's a little fit bunny.

Nothing too epic just had an idea to avoid loosing mags from pistols . Took the grips off sanded the base edge down a bit then cut a piece of Velcro to fit around the screw raiser back together trim the Velcro to correct size and job done ! 👍

Shortened it slightly and got it nicely fitted to the gun. Need to properly paint it though.
