So for the price of a new one buy a broken gun in bits

My first airsoft guns, GHK 553 Cerakote and Umarex (KWA?) USP Compact. (I have also bought 3 Umarex Glocks; 18C, 19G5 and 42 but not sure about them just yet.)

My VFC collection.

I do wonder if most sellers realise that, unless you happen to align on a very specific niche set of aesthetics, to most buyers a custom paint job or engraving is the same as having a gun with damaged externals.

Random filthy GHK RPK action - I was testing out the WE drum mag with conversion kit for the GHK....it was really cold and I hadnt gassed the mag properly. Works really well all things considered as long as you shoot in short bursts 321136905_3345024452382748_76218302806939803_n.mp4

TM NGRS m60? too much to ask?

My most recent arrival.

And how many people moaned it wasn’t a browning HP or p320?

https://www.airsoft-hub.com/item/34709-mk23-sokom-with-supressor £90 + delivery for a two-tone where not only is the brand new RIF £70 + delivery, he helps us out by saying where he bought it. https://jdairsoft.net/asg-mk23-stealth-assassin Does he want the buyer to cover the cost of the two-tone he paid for but has since been scuffed/partly flaked off? Shop around a little more and you can get the ASG MK 23 for even less. https://bbguns4less.co.uk/products/asg-mk23-special-operations-nbb-airsoft-pistol-in-black.html

It's something I've been thinking about for a while. If you work it out, you could probably make a bit of cash.

After a few scam attempts, I am STILL looking for that sweet sweet TM MP5k High Cycle if anyone wants to get rid of one. Prompt payment waiting! Cheers

G&G do a polymer version in their Combat Machine range, Marui used to make poly / plastic ones in their standard / non-recoil range (I assume they still do, but it's been a while since I looked) Here's my MP5 from a few years ago - Classic Army, a few upgrades.

Luke at Negative does the warranty work on them in the UK, which is indeed a big recommendation. I would actually agree that if you have a wodge of money and just want "bestest M4" then you'd be as well buying the SSR4 as anything else.

Since January, I’ve been doing a lot of research on the TM G17.5 and now have 4 of them. As a result, I’ve been buying and trying new things on the market. I thought it might be useful for a thread with the parts available and what works, what doesn’t. Here are two that I’ve finished. The other two are still waiting on parts. The only upgrade part I’d say is required, is an uprated hammer spring if you’re running green gas. All of my G17.5s light strike when running green gas/propane. The stock slide is carbon polymer so *should* manage fine with green gas. uprated hammer springs: Guarder - not sure Cowcow Tech (CCT)- 120% The CCT full spring set is about £15 from Empire. Pro Arms also do a spring set but doesn’t include hammer spring. Everything else is pretty much optional. I’d also recommend upgrading the piston lid and nozzle return spring. CCT do a piston lid CCT and Proarms do nozzle return springs. Both are good. The Proarms pack is better value for money IMO. Slides that I’m aware of Detonator (all drop in, no modifications required): G17 - standard G17 - boresight solutions G34 - TTI Detonator also do a couple of limited editions specific for the South Korean market… but you’d need a mate in South Korea to buy you one and ship it. Proarms (all drop in apparently - not tried them though): G17 - FDE/black cerakote Wii-tech: G17 - standard - steel or aluminium (both with steel barrel) - G17 - tactical - steel or aluminium (both with threaded steel barrel and 6.03 TBB) note: the aluminium slides were drop in. The steel slide I’ve been sent does not work and Wiitech are looking into why. Mafioso: Full steel G17 kit - required modification to the TM BBU to work. Guarder: Not yet released but the steel slide kit looks promising. 5KU: Aluminium standard slide kit - haven’t tried but heard 5KU quality has improved recently. Outer Barrels: none of the aluminium threaded outer barrels worked with a metal slide and tracer for me. But I’m sure I’ve seen people on Reddit using theirs with a tracer. The aluminium barrels work with the stock slide and a tracer. Detonator threaded outer barrel Proarms threaded outer barrel C&C tac threaded outer barrel w/Roland style comp. Other Accessories: JDG do a very cool magwell. JDG also do magazine extensions for V2 mags. Bomber do a TTI style magwell. Guarder, CCT and Wiitech do aftermarket recoil rods guarder does the serial number delete plate. it sounds like Guarder might be doing steel internals and also a nylon polymer aftermarket grip. MOS sight plates Detonator - version for RMR/SRO. works well, good fit. Bomber - Version for RMR/DPP/ACRO. Can’t comment on the ACRO or DPP but the RMR is a good fit. Angry Gun - Versions for RMR/DPP/ACRO. Can’t comment on the DPP but the ACRO and RMR are good fit C&C Tac - RMR only. haven’t tried but looks similar to the angry gun version 5KU - RMR only. haven’t tried but their quality has got better recently. Revanchist - RMR only. Probably the most disappointing of the lot to be honest. Fits well. But very basic design compared to all the others. Iron Sights detonator: Photo-reactive high sights. tarran style fibre sights. pro arms: tritium high sights. They’re quite expensive… but when have tritium sights been cheap? wiitech: Aluminium low sights aluminium high sights with a couple of different options. Things to avoid: I’d recommend avoiding Gunday. I bought a set of sights and Magwell off them. The sights can’t be fitted without drilling extra holes into the slide. The Magwell requires modification to the frame… if anyone else has feedback, it might be good to feedback here to help people avoid lemons or buyers remorse.

Many smaller patrols as both nato and warpac went down to 12 and 15 each essentially 2 sections each. Echo 1 spent the morning hunting Russian engineers and had a couple of solid fire fights where medics came I to thier own. We also went and held a couple of spots for Charlie 1 to come a blow. It was one of these that we got the call to rtb as warpac were attacking and seen near our hq. We did not hustle and got caught with our pants down. Warpac managed to get is lined up under smoke covered the initial shots amd gunned us all down!

This is a great read, with good responses so far. it reminds me of a similar thread in an MTB forum I was on, and there was an American website, that for $15 dollars ‘Admin fee’, would send you an invoice/bill for whatever you agreed with them. That way significant others wouldn’t find out how much you spent…..

Loving the new trend & seeing the 'personalisations' in everyone's builds.

As plain and white bread as they can come, a scruffy boneyard job, but I've spent money on the internals... PDI inner barrel. Snipetor r-hop patch + Modify flat bucking. GATE Titan v3. AK2M4 / XT brushless motor. ... and it runs very nicely on 7.4v (I've no 11.1v's that fit). I'm quite tempted to stick with 7.4v and pop in a lower ratio gear set 🤔 Edit: It was bought with the intention of using as a cold weather / winter sidearm, but as the upper is metal it weighs a ton and is tricky to use single handed.

Does my Galil count too?

GHK AK Porn

3 of mine top to bottom Ex rental dboys aks74u I use for a loaner My regular pew, dytac ak105 slr Cyma cm077 long boi Also but not pictured I have a Cyma VSS, Cyma SVD with wood and a RPK (polymer furniture)

AK-103 configuration. Same AK.

My friend's had his SSR4 since we both started airsoft over two years ago and it's never missed a beat - pretty sure he's never even cleaned the thing (I've offered lol) and it just troopers on while sounding decent & shooting with good range, so for the price & white glove aftercare you can't really go wrong, esp. with the new version two of it coming out like you've mentioned

And its not like Dave's is exactly the most competitively priced UK shop.....

Would rather import from WGC, pay import fees and still be cheaper!

No one made a B&T sliding stock for a K that was an AEG without spending £155 on the Bow version and cutting it to make fit, so I made my own
