“What colour is the boat house at Hereford”

So, the site owner who called me a liar and banned me from the site for stating that it is permanently closed is a liar who banned me from a non-existent site. 🤪

So how would they know? 🤨

This forum post comes off as very corny and a little out-of-place between the lines, to be fair.

I bought this at AP on Sunday, having admired it in the site shop for a while. It is currently in bits on the work table and will soon have a new hop rubber and nub, a Perun Hybrid and 13:1 gears so that I can run it on a 2000mAh 7.4v battery that just about fits in the handguard.

Pleased you got your rifle back, but confused as to why the plod would make a ridiculous comment like that. I would reopen comms with somebody at a higher level, because you can guarantee that Mr "redacted" would do his best to backpedal & deny giving you that advice, especially if your snatchback went pear shaped in some way, which sounds likely if these criminals are adept enough to hack in to vehicles. The fact you have the conversation recorded is great, but may still not be enough to stop you getting a criminal record if you go ahead with your plans.

Just be wary, the police have a lot more time for “violent” and “real” crime than they do “non-violent” crimes like theft and shoplifting. They’ll be more inclined to arrest you and charge you with assault for laying a hand on the thief whilst retrieving your stolen goods back, than they are inclined to charge the burglars. Lots of these thieves will know how to play the system as well. They’ll make their assault and lower hanging fruit than the theft of your belongings.

I though Easter holidays were over.

I spoke to them , they should get more the end of this week/ start of next depending upon how long customs take to clear it

Who left the gate open st the cunt farm?

BROKEN INTERNALS NO WARRANTY £100

Yeah, but if we think about it, impersonating a police officer and carrying an imitation firearm around in the open is nowhere near as bad as calling someone a stinky poopyhead on the internet. Ooooooh, there's some nice flashing blue lights outside my window. I wonder wha-...

I'm sure I've seen working ones at that price here https://www.whitespheretactical.co.uk/product/boneyard-golden-eagle-8879-shotgun-replica-black-1-/6727?cp=true&sa=false&sbp=false&q=false&category_id=B2GQSYO7OLYMK2WYXGYCEPXE

So for those that know my car was (confirmed by the garage) hacked and broken into, and my guns in their case were taken along with my kids tablets. Thanks to the vigilance of this community, the MTR16 has been found, reported and collected, attachments and all, in its case. There are many of you who notified me and my partner and I'd like to thank you all as I had given up and borderline forgot it. Also, having my rifle back means I renounce me quitting the sport. I will be stripping it down and cleaning it and will upload a picture when done. Also this still means the Mk23 and M1014 and tablets are still out there but I have a positive location and am even in limited state planning a snatch back as it were. Oh why don't you leave it to the police I hear you cry, well this is a direct quote from what is a recorded phone call between the police and myself when I asked if they would attend the location with me "Mr (Redacted) I applaud your initiative but we just don't have the manpower. However, you are ex army, you deal with it as you see fit". So there you have it, the tale of tape so far. Again big big thank you to those who got on to me and the missus. I would sign off with a callsign but I stepped away from the AI500 tan team, so I'll use my old nickname from my first days at dogtag, TwoTone out!

No no no. He got permission from the police, remember? "Deal with it as you see fit." He has it recorded, it's basically a warrant. Errr, right? 😕

Assuming you can prove it's yours, & the seller has enough of what was taken still in his possession to match your crime report. Even then, you're assuming he'll roll over & say something like "it's a fair cop guv, fill yer boots", or alternatively he claims he paid good money for them & tells you to do one, will you then be forced to rely on the local plod to turn up, given that they've previously blown you out apparently.

So why would they say ex-army, and not ex-police? Just so we're all on the same page, none of this adds up and everyone thinks you're talking utter bollocks, in the follow-up thread that no-one asked for, after you got locked out of the first one. In the (unlikely) event any of it's true, don't do dumb shit like keeping RIFs in your car and rolling around with them day to day. That alone should be obvious. Someone who says they have 4 kids should be a little more sensible and responsible. 🙄

After messing around with my VFC ak's appearance an unhealthy amount recently I figured it could be a good idea to share and document what parts fit it without mods/minor mods/won't fit etc. So far I have tried: (Colour code: Green = Straight Fit / Orange = Modification Needed / Red = Won't Fit) E&L Wood Furniture (Handguards) LCT Wood Furniture (Handguards) Genuine AK74m Lower Handguard (May vary on manufacturer, not sure what manufacturer the one I tried was) LCT B-10M 5KU SPORT-4 (Retainer catch and receiver block (On the actual lower handguard where it slots into the hole of the AK receiver) needed filing a small amount) LCT Triangle Stock (A shim for the top of the stock is needed to stop the stock from walking up and down) 5KU B-33 (Fits fine however as it's AEG spec it needs to be cut and redrilled) If you have one and would like to help me extend the list it would be massively appreciated!

Stop being a stinky poopyhead!

My Rarearms ar15 Mostly RS

Twat got off lightly.

17 Gen 5 MOS was like 4% of sales I was reading. As you say 45s are just selling like hot cakes in all but California (for obvious reasons) until the law is changed Gen 3 still going to outsell just about everything else.

Does that mean the 17 g5’s will be flooding the classifieds with mental prices? 😂

The RIF I wanted so bad, that when I joined these forums 20+ years ago, my username was 'Bison Hunter' 😁. I got a custom made from a TM Beta Spetsnaz but it wasn't really skirmishable. Then I quit the hoppy and came back 15 years later to find that Bizons had basically been and gone... until Patrol Base got some stock in at the same time I got a work bonus. I've had it 3 weeks and decided I wanted to remove the stock completely and cover the exposure at the back. This required an adaptor that itself required some angle grinder attention. But now with the RK-3 grip, B-13 mount (both with funky Russian language on them), and PBS-1 can, it's almost my dream RIF. In lieu of a decent Kobra sight, I have a C More sight on the way, so the nasty one on here is a placeholder. First game on Sunday and I just can't wait! 😁

I'm starting this up as a reference thread for everyone's photos of MP5's

So after deciding not to spend too much on the new 417 right away.. i bought a new inner barrel, a new M100 Spring, a scope, a bipod, and two 500mm pieces of raw ally bar/tube to make a silencer for it. I can't be trusted with money.

The police do not routinely check the career history of alleged victims of crime; that is my experience from being a victim of serious crime and from supporting people who have been victims of crime, and I checked it this evening with a serving police officer. Realistically, the only way they would know would be if you have told them at some point. So, let's say you rock up to the boot fair and demand that the stallholder returns the allegedly stolen goods; the stallholder says "Mate, I bought these from a guy I met in the pub." At that point, how are you going to prove that they are your allegedly stolen items? Do they have something distinctive about them that you can describe to the organisers before getting anywhere near the stall holder? If you have not, you are going to be out of luck.

A Knock off B.A.D. Lever from Empire Airsoft. An original one will set you back about 40 notes but this little beauty was a penny shy of sixteen nicker. Postage bumped that up to 22 finest British pounds. I had to shim it, with a bit of Monster can, and it works lovely. 20250429_211025.mp4 https://www.empireairsoft.co.uk/ar-15-m16-badlever.html

its been a mad month, ive spent far too much but ive convinced myself that i wont buy any more rifs this year.... 😇 Nov SSG10A3 AAP01 Canik TP9 ARP9 stealth 9 and drum mag some new batteries Bloc Lynx tactical eyewear (finally i dont fog and its incredible) Fortis face mask errrr oh and i condor chest rig :') might have some pics to follow if i get the kit out to rearrange!

I've never had any issues with leaky mags or shattered nozzles, so I think there's an element of bad luck on your part there. In terms of what I do, I make sure to never use gas that will be too strong for it (depending on temperature, as gas has different psi at different temps), and for the mags I always keep them stored with a little bit of Abbey maintenance gas in them to keep the seals nice and lubed.

As Nick said, NPAS could be the cause. I had this recently when I fitted one in my VFC AK, thought I'd set it for a decent amount of gas to enter and had done the opposite. BB's came out super weak and dropped like crazy, regardless of hop. Readjusted the NPAS and it was as good as before!

Erk sorry to hear that guys! I've hammered mine - I run it alongside my 1911 and it's just way too much fun to use. Been getting lots of kills with it Would be nice if we got a diagram of the internals - I'll open her up for a lube/clean after my next game. I'll be sure to take some photos.

A sixth month community order? Fuck me people are getting prison time for hurting words on the internet.

Just like the time i spent hundreds building a Glock 45 with all nice internal parts then put a steel slide on it and ruined the performance entirely. 🥲

Hello mate, I had a great experience with them early this year. I ordered a warhead black motor from E6 for a custom build- nearly 6 months later the tech I sent it too said it was the wrong one and I needed a short shaft instead. I thought I would be pushing my luck even thinking about asking for an exchange, but thought I would try so I emailed the bloke at E6 - he emailed back in an hour, no problem - send old one back and I will send the short one. Can't ask for any better than that. Cheers

But they look so weird. 😭

Somewhat productive day in the SkunkWorks. Started off by modifying a silencer/tracer unit, wasn't so fond of the grooves in it and decided to copy the Specter one, but with 12 smaller flutes. Before: After turning the OD down, it was put in the rotary table and flutes were cut with an 8mm ball-nosed end mill. Bit of lousy paint.. And now it looks so much better. Very happy with the result. Next up was a silencer that i bought for my MP5K-PDW. It's some specific type that i didn't realise at the time, but that didn't matter. I made an insert that'd screw on to the threaded outer barrel, but go over the 3-lug QD and sit closer to the front sight block. Turned from 38mm ally, bored to clear the 3 lugs, threaded inside, with an external male thread to fit a tracer and hex flats milled too. It's secured to the outer body with a grub screw. Finished + fitted:

But he has extended the barrel, so it's now a proper FAL, isn't it? 🤣

Still optimistic but way better than the as new price he wanted Edit: I just noticed the type of batteries. I didn't know people still used those so it's definitely still a bit high

Still optimistic at that price, given that it's two toned, and the nimh model with anaemic performance. Lipo transforms them, and you can get the lipo-ready CYMA CM.127 from PatrolBase with free two-toning for £65 plus the postage that he isn't even offering. Remember that we're comparing used and unknown condition to new.

Slightly late to the party but if you're getting into MTB'ing again "Zinn and the art of mountain bike maintenance" is a fantastic source of info for overhauling and reconditioning bikes. Buying it has probably saved me a few 100's worth of maintenance done by shops.

Man I thought I had a problem with MP5 addictions, some of y'all are shoiwing me up! MP5s are undeniably the coolest looking gun ever made and anyone who says otherwise is just lying to themselves in a mixture of jealousy and denial. And the only thing an MP5 needs to look gucci as all fuck is the surefire flashlight handguard. Or the SD front end. Less is more!
