  1. Peter207 sorry buddy I don't Airsoft anymore haven't a long time, sold you a rif and forgot all about it, had no idea there was any issues until I logged on here this morning after getting a message elsewhere and saw your messages, I'm sorry the rid didn't get to you buddy, it been so long I will have binned any receipts but I'm happy to refund you no issues at all. I did ask you to contact me by phone but you didn't want to give me your number it would have been much easier if you had for contact, infact I gave you my direct phone number? Why didn't you simply call me?.. seems there was a much simpler and easier way to deal with this than this post. Next time pick up the phone. Edit: refund sent, if you rif turns up keep it with my regards. On another note, don't use f&f to pay for goods online, not everyone is as honest as me.

  3. I'd like to thank the 2 members of the opposite team that revived me at Team Black Thistle in Dunragit yesterday! Mistaking me for one of their own, they took their hits well afterwards.

  4. yep you did put your phone number up, sorry I didn't contact you through that. All's well that ends well. So to all who read the thread, massive misunderstanding, Chris did, right at the start give me his phone number which I complete forgot about! I am a dullard! Still it great to see the community come forward to help, I guess it one of the reasons I still play airsoft as I slide into my old age. Chris, thank you for understanding.

  5. Agree, never understood why anybody would stick with a shite site that's full of cheaters ?............... Unless of course it suits their playing style 😏

  7. But in A New Hope the stormtroopers on the deathstar were deliberately missing. Obi wan commenting on the destroyed Jawa sand crawler "And these blast points, too accurate for Sandpeople. Only Imperial Stormtroopers are so precise." Then there's this line from Grand Moff Tarkin after the escape "You're sure the homing beacon is secure aboard their ship? I'm taking an awful risk, Vader. This had better work." Yes I'm a nerd

  8. Ok, so before I say how my game day went... what the hell? Like, that is one of the worst things I've ever heard at an airsoft event, and I used to play in Spain in the late 2000s when there were no sites, no rules, no health and safety and we never did anything as stupid as throwing a goddamn log over a wall! I will say that of all the sites down near me (Driver Wood, Worthing Airsoft, Southdown and Dogtag), Dogtag is the only one that I've been to that I will never make any effort to go back to as my experience of it, while not as bad as yours, was pretty awful. Anyway, for me today at Worthing Airsoft was simultaneously glorious and horrible conditions for sniping with my lovely gas guns; schroedinger's airsoft? I brought my m700 and mk12 MWS with me today as those were the guns I was planning on bringing to Shift Your RIFTs next weekend and wanted to make sure they were working well. Weirdest thing with my m700 was that the scope was off and all my shots were going to the right. Easily fixed by... rotating the rear scope ring 180 degrees? So now my lovely 3.5-25x56mm overkill scope is nice and straight again, but having one scope ring with the bolt one side and the other with the bolt the other side is doing my head in a little, but I can suffer the asymmetric nature of it since it's shooting lovely and straight now. The mk12 MWS is not coming with me to Shift Your RIFTs because it was not happy hopping .45s, even at 2.32J which seems to be their DMR limit; it was only going to be a backup gun anyway, so I'll just swap it out for my m14 scout instead. I plan on using the m700 anyway, and that was shooting like a dream, so no drama there. In terms of the gameplay, I only played in the morning. Lately my heart has been acting up (the symptoms are very light at least), so I didn't get as much sleep as I would've liked last night as it kept me up until 2am. I went out with the m700 and it was glorious. The weather was amazing! 18 - 20 degrees all day, barely any wind and lots of sun. Perfect airsoft weather! The thing that made the conditions horrible was just how much Worthing Airsoft has bushed up. Using anything with an MED right now is just difficult and a lot of the site is just impractical with a 30m radius of "no shoot". It's even more bushy than last year and it gets more bushy with every year it seems because it's largely uncontrolled. We have a lot more bushes sprouting up everywhere and it's making sight lines impossible, especially when firing from prone as I tend to do when sniping. I still managed to get into a spot where eventually one of the marshalls just told the enemy team where I was and I got hosed, because I was singlehandedly stopping them advancing through one part of the site. I almost ran out of ammo, and with 4 mags with me that never happens at a skirmish day as I'm very disciplined with my shots (still only about 100 total as each mag is about 25rds, but I tend to only shoot if I know I'll hit). Very pleased with the new belt kit setup and extremely pleased with how well my new £97 ghillie cape and boonie setup worked. Taking that next weekend for sure! All in all, very good day. Would've played the whole day, but I was pretty tired and I needed to make sure the m700 was shooting well (only fixed the off-centre scope after lunch) and had to test the MWS, which was lucky I did or I would've taken that to Shift Your RIFTs and it would've been dead weight. I need to pick up some .43s for it at some point, but I just don't want to spend the money yet. Looking forward to Shift Your RIFTs next weekend. This was weekend #1 of 5 consecutive weekends as I have Worthing game days every 2 weeks, and in between I have Shift Your RIFTs and a Vietnam filmsim weekend. Roll on next weekend, and I hope the weather holds out!

    What's this cable for?

    It's a "cutaway", real steel vests have them in case you end up in deep water or trapped in a confined space, usually there's a handle on the front of the vest that when yanked causes the vest to fall apart. Great for safety, but an absolute pita when your mates keep yanking on it🤬. Most people cable tie it so it can't be pulled.

  10. I doubt that he will; I am not sure when he would find time with his army reserve and cadet instructor commitments and often working weekends (He was at the Etihad today looking after the rigging for the flying camera that he installed yesterday and will dismantle tomorrow). His younger brother plays regularly when he is down from university. Agreed; that is why I will never go back to certain sites.

  12. Dogtag does seem to have something of a reputation. Hopefully, it hasn't put your eldest off. My eldest used to play, but gave up because of frustration over non hit taking and rule breaking. A few years later, a friend of his persuaded him to try Dogtag; he left at lunchtime and has not played since, although he has started making noises about possibly giving it another try.

  15. Where did you hear that? Everything I can find from the band says it's about the mosh pit. Either way, I'd still rather not listen to it as I'm not a whining emo kid trying to be edgy For me it's probably Yakety Sax (the Benny Hill theme tune) as I'm often running around like a headless chicken with no clue as to what's going on

  20. Well that was one day of airsoft that I don't want to repeat. By lunchtime I'd packed my gear up and was no longer shooting as the locals appeared to be made from Teflon and were impervious to hits. Play was stopped after some numpty threw a LOG over a wall, shouting grenade and nigh on knocked some poor unsuspecting bloke out. 😱 I laid 15 rounds into a guy (3 shot bursts) every single one bouncing off him, including a few off his noggin with a marshal watching and nothing. Nada. To prevent fatalities I gave up. Went back to the safe zone and grabbed a coffee. The Marshalls couldn't give two shits if you complained..unless you were a regular. If a 13 year old comes back to the safe zone telling me he doesn't feel safe out there, then there's something wrong. Genuinely never going back. Sorry dogtag airsoft in Crawley, unimpressed.

  25. Let me start by saying that’s sexy but it is what I would call a SMG…. Just. If I go down this route I may do something very similar. But I’m still trying for the pistol. So what would that look like I hear you say? No silencer or for grip.

  27. I think the barrel is a 14.5" so if you have to choose between 12" or 10", I think a 12" would be more appropriate For reference the URGI handguard is 13.5" The DD RIS II is 12.25"

  31. The bocca's go straight on 99% of the time, the modification would be removing the delta ring and installing the new one. Ideally your outer barrel should work with the rail, so a 12" using a 12.5 etc, personally.

  32. TBH I thought the same thing. I was in 5th year when this was in the charts & a schoolfriend persuaded me to be lead singer in the band they were forming (inspired by Bad Manners), I was shite but looked the part.

  34. I think the thread is the important bit. It's v small, in a fine pitched m6 kinda size. I thought the gas valves were imperial (may be lack of sleep doing that though 🤣) I'm trying araldite just in case, you never know .. 😁 Failing that, I'll plug the hole and drill n tap a new one, if I can figure out the pitch/sizes.

  42. Start a paypal dispute, why give him a week if he hasn't even given you an excuse for not responding. If he doesn't respond to them, you'll get your money back quicker, & even if he does come back with an excuse, valid or not, DONT EVER stop a paypal dispute until you've either got your money, or the items (& your happy with them), as once stopped it can't be restarted. Seriously, I'm amazed at how many sellers are super quick with comms etc right up until they're paid, & then become sloth-like or ghost you🤬

    Can't decide which I like better - competition sights or an RMR mount. Which do you guys prefer? P.S. Anyone have any good recommendations for a holster (repro safariland model etc.) that would fit an RMR mounted like this plus an X300?
