everyone kinda has their own standard. what i typically would have done was asked for ukara, then seen if the site code exists on the ukara site listing. if i'm feeling a little sus i at least see if it's in the same general region (eg a mainlander isn't giving me an ni site code). otherwise i just slap the number on the box and call it good. i've also had folk give me re-enactor id (afaik re-enactor id is only good for relevant pews, ie you can't sell an m4 to a ww2 re-enactor, although in my case that didn't apply), and once dispatched a pew via a local shop we both knew. in buying i have had folk either not ask or even accept my forum presence as a player, although ironically my forum presence would now be a tad deceiving as i'm not playing these days. end of the day the requirement is that you're satisfied the person your selling your gun-shaped-object to is going to use it for airsoft pewing or other permitted activity, and afaik there isn't any real definition/precedent as to how much effort needs to be put into verification.

You're not the only one ?

It looks like the try-hard chancer smoked crack and bumped up an already ludicrous price. https://www.usedairsoft.co.uk/rif-s/electric-powered/dpd-aeg-bundle-and-nuprol-hard-case-lightly-used_i80377

Good, in principle. But also in principle, they shouldn't be telling you without getting into an affirmative-ongoing-consent three-way with the buyer. You could, and you're right to ask the question and be ready to adduce some form of defence. In practice, if it's moving inside the UK, it's vanishingly unlikely that it'll ever be an issue. I'd be more concerned about the courier losing, stealing, breaking, or crushing it without compensation rather than legal consequences.

I've heard some people ask a local shop to check the ukara database. Alternatively if the sale is through here have a look at the 'how did your airsoft day go' thread, if they've posted there then there's a high chance they're a player. The loadout pictures thread is also a good place to check as pictures there are often taken in game. In general trust your gut and treat all sales like a packet of meat that's been in the fridge for a while. If it smells even slightly funky don't bother

Yep went down that road, had a nice prototype system knocked up but based on feedback security / gdpr was a big concern and increasing cost to the project. I agree it's not in the interest of the controlling members of UKARA to encourage sales of 2nd hand rifs.

You are correct that it is the seller who is legally liable under the VCRA with regard to a defence for a RIF sale But this does not mean that you must explicitly verify against the UKARA or other scheme, there have been verification services, but probably due to a combination of cost, resources and ensuring confidentiality there isn’t a UKARA public/self validation service (A secure process that doesn’t over expose content would be GDPR compliant as the purpose is validation - but there could still be a consent issue on public validation rather than controlled access etc - and retailer members of the UKARA may also prefer that there isn’t a public option) You just need to apply some common sense due diligence, which is also likely to minimise you getting to the point of needing to back up your decision to sell Does the buyer act old enough to buy an airsoft gun (RIF or IF) and for RIFs do they appear to be buying for a valid use? Be extra cautious in the school holidays, if on this forum do they have a posting history (don’t sell a RIF to me because I don’t play airsoft and have said so many times - therefore my forum membership content is evidence of my lack of valid purpose) You can ask, and their member site may also be happy with validating them PS if they tell you they have JustCos membership then refuse the sale

Managed to source a genuine Austrian StG58 kit for my full steel VFC FAL DX

He'll put the price up again next week, it's half term?

Me in the middle as we move the crates to the base, the guy with the shield did a cracking job of deflecting the incoming BB's from a LMG posted down the track. Really wasn't sure about the leg mounted, open top mag carrier thing but it works really well, reduced the insulation around my body and help keep me cool. Me, parked where the LMG gunner was giving him few rounds back when the teams switched.

The only time I use .2g bbs is for cqb It's not hard to work out who the seller is and looking at their post history they do come across as a bit of a nob

Twice hidden & locked by me, seller has a problem with following the classifieds rules ?

Much like my airsoft guns, I just grab whatever cheap disposable Chinese-made tat comes to hand first in the morning. Actually true, I like buying Chinese standard movement watches from AliExpress, sometimes to disassemble. One day I'll manage to re-assemble one. And my MP5K. And my AEP.

Even having left school 20 years ago, the only two times i'm interested in are lunch time and home time. ?

Hi! Apologies if this has been answered previously, but I've had a look through a bunch of threads, read the classifieds banner, done some google searches and had a look through some of the legislation, but couldn't find a definitive answer. My understanding is that anyone selling airsoft weapons is personally responsible for verifying that whoever they are selling to has a VCRA defense, whether that be through UKARA registration or otherwise. I just wanted some guidance on how people generally achieve this? From what I gather, it's not possible to search the UKARA database as an individual - only registered retailers have access. Do I need to ask for details of where people regularly play and then verify that with the site operators? Could I be held liable for just accepting a UKARA registration number from someone if I don't have any way to confirm if it's valid?

My daily wearer is usually a diver. For manual work and airsofting it's an old solar G-Shock. They can take a beating.

Aha...eureka moment. Looked into the feed tube and the nozzle isn't clearing the tube enough to allow it to feed. Looks like it might be time for a sector delay thingy. Might pull it back far enough to work. ??

I wear this for airsoft. It is old and a bit crap, but it does the job, rather like its owner.

Easy to read on the go and cheap enough to not care if it comes a cropper.

VSR G Spec stock This was mk1, didn't survive being cocked unfortunately, mk2 in ABS coming shortly after some tweaks.

Magnum's used to be made in Northampton, 14 years ago they shifted manufacturing to China and the quality fell off a cliff.

I reckon there will be a bit of FOMO for batch one based on the G17.5, but if the supply is steady the used market will be flooded with both them in about a year after launch. And if the supply is steady, Guarder may put down a deposit on a private island based off how many m17 metal slides they will sell from them

I just wear my wife's old fitbit. Small, fairly hardly glass and use it as HR tracker and stopwatch for timing the games.

I think they pulled the doc martens strat of cheaping out and living on their reputation. So an old pair will be great, not so much a new pair. Lowas were what i moved to after my magnums went and i'd say are superior in all respects.

Same, I use a GW6900 when I play. It's tough and reasonably cheap if I did have to replace it!

Utter waste of two decent GBBRs. Even with the pistol, I wouldn't run 0.2s through it unless maybe I was in CQB.

You can tell the seller is a noob, buys an expensive DMR GBBR, puts fucking .2s through it....

Just thought I’d let everyone know that it did indeed end up being a scam, so stay away from this buyer. But I was able to get my money back from PayPal after about 2 weeks. I decided to just buy a new CM048 off of BBguns4less.

GIVE ME £500 TOO.

Double eagle APC 556, very excited to get one of these. Now I just need the Ares (yuck) APC9

Fobus IWB from Tactical Kit. Took some heating in hot water and work with sandpaper to ensure the WE G19 fitted properly and I could get the damn thing out again ? Craghoppers shirt was good enough for Obi Wan Nairobi so will stand up to anything I put it through ?

Always liked Engineer in BC2 and BF3. I think Support or Assault / Medic is probably my favourite in BF4 though. Not sure cos I haven't played it too much.
