Just ban him Next thing you know there’ll be hundreds of adverts for voodoo witch powders, that’ll guarantee your ex, jilted lover back! fcuk that, I’d rather another 48 with Starmer

What annoys me is some folks prices on second hand/unknown goods.

Different to my usual western ‘special’ forces load out I’ve gone classic bad guy with this very pretty TM AKS47 type 3 EBB. Second hand and upgraded with a Gate Astor, tightbore barrel, hop up, nub etc. It cycles lovely and smooth and looks stunning with just enough patina to make it look like it’s been used but looked after for decades. Off to play at a new site tomorrow so look forward to seeing how accurate it is and how it does on the chrono, but it’s an AK so full auto aimed at something over there will hopefully get a hit or 2.

I wouldn't worry too much about the 2 tone. If it's anything like the WE pistols I've owned you'll just have to look at the paint funny and it'll start coming off Meanwhile back on topic, this week I've picked up a T238 nano traser which on the whole I'm happy with despite a few issues (review to come when I've had a chance to properly test it), a few pouches both new and old and a molle thigh panel

Todays adds are a refreshing change/return to normality.

Probably because if they did a detailed breakdown of what's included it would more obvious that it's not such a great deal

SOCOM Tactical has the Tak Tak clones of the CTR stock.

50p, pack of pickled onion monster munch and a curly wurly, final offer. Also going against the ethos of the thread, this seems like a bargain for a starter kit. https://www.airsoft-hub.com/item/39948-bulldog-m4-starter-package. Makes up for all of the £300 delta pioneer starter bundles ?

WE Apache A3 and KWA USP 9, cheeky little H&K setup as I want to have a few games where I'm not sat at the back like a loser with my VSR and get my fat ass moving a bit more, need to set up my second belt to suit this load out but thankfully won't need a million pistol mag pouches as I won't be running 2 pistols with this. Or maybe I'll run a Mac with these 2 ?

With your collection it'd be cheaper to BUY the van compared to postage ?

Current pet peeve: listings with multiple items in the title and picture. They reupload them after a week, and don't edit the pic to cross out items already gone. (Or don't change the title to remove the ones that are gone!) So you click on it thinking it's interesting, see the only good parts are sold and it's the scraps left over.

I've disabled all header ads for now because I can't figure out why it's making them double height like that:

Well now that I'm getting adds to checkout Naga Munchetty's boobs I'm conflicted but I take back my earlier statement.

Are they?

I'll do a job lot for my collection, hiring a van would be cheaper than postage.

https://www.airsoft-hub.com/item/39939-airsoft-bundle Seller wants £3,500 for a job lot but provides only a single picture and a handful of details.

I get the forums need fundage to keep open...... but is there any need for it to be A) this targeted? B) this much of the screen? I mean I'll be honest I can't think of anywhere better to target "are you on the spectrum" ads than at airsofters apart from comiccon.

@proffrinkStill getting double sized adverts in the header.

TBh I should maybe take more notice of the funeral adds but I keep refreshing the pages hoping for the Tinder/Grinder adds again.

I finally jumped onto the El Cheapo Ares 'drop in' HPA gearboxes. Time will tell if it really does drop in without any alignment issues. It certainly seems to be working well out of the gun though. Pleasantly surprised to see that they appear to have upgraded the latest batch with the battery cable being wired to deans, and to be rear wired with a long enough length to go through the buffer tube (the first batch had a very short wire with an XT30 connector). Cautiously I have also obtained an Ares rotary hop unit, in case the gearbox doesn't play well with my usual hop unit choices. Not bad for £131 posted.....

Ah yes, the Arse self-loading ringpiece. More of a SCAR man myself, but to each their own.

Be grateful of small mercies, at least he's wearing shorts.

In the last year i've imported a bunch of guns and consistently saved 30-40% all said and done. One package was stuck in customs for weeks, but it eventually cleared and all was well.

Phew, that's a relief, I thought it was just me getting them, thought i had a virus or something.

My first game day since breaking three bones in my ankle back on early January. The venue? Section 8 Airsoft. The weather? Appalling hot for we Scottish folk up here. In between managing to drink three litres of water and sweating it back out immediately, I had a grand time. Had to take the rough terrain at a walking pace, which it turned out isn't that much of an impediment really. I even managed to stay ahead of the usual Treehuggers, who glue themselves to a piece of cover after getting shot at and don't move for five solid minutes First time bringing out my VFC G3, which performed admirably, and my VFC AR, which uh, less so. The G3 was more than enough gun to carry the day and I got a couple of surprisingly distant hits with it. (The sheer joy of "suppressing" a guy hiding in foliage and seeing the hand go up. Very fun). The site marshals had a split schedule planned. In the morning they ran a few skirmishy games to get people moving. Typical attack/defend with swapping over, and a domination game across three locations. The site is really fun with a lot of variation in cover, height, topography, so it's easy to keep it interesting. The second half of the day was a crack at a longer, more narrative style game. This one had a couple of the issues these tend to have, a few too many rules not quite explained well enough for a wide variety of experience levels and playstyles. It was quite fun, but there's definite tweaks to be made to the rulesets. I trust them to run it well after some testing. Overall the marshalling was very good, and play in general was very good. My team were competent, my opponents slightly moreso, and only one guy really stood out as being cheeky. (He was promptly sent home). Plenty of good banter, just a really great day.

Today was an invitation only day at Airsoft Plantation, which was planned to run alongside a private event which was also running on the site. The lad travelled down on Saturday, so we were a mini-team again. Unfortunately, a number of players cancelled due to the intense heat, so a smaller than expected group of players were present, which made for a different and interesting day. We started off with a simple game in the village; the attackers, with infinite regens on their starting point at the far end of the village, had to get a player onto the upper floor of the Cock Inn. The defenders had two lives, one in the village and one in and around the structures on the high street. I started off on our right, trying to prevent attackers pushing down that side. The MPiKM scored many hits before a sneaky enemy potted me and I fell back to my second position, from where I continued to contribute to our defence until an enemy player managed to achieve the objective. When the game was turned around, the lad and I, accompanied by our friend Tom, pushed through the brush on our right, slowly progressing against well positioned and determined defenders. The highlight came towards the end, when the lad ran forward, crawled under one of the Land Rovers, and then stormed the Cock Inn; excellent play! After a hydration break, we went out to the woods to play three "rescue the hostage" games. The site owner was being held hostage in the kill house by two thirds of the players, who had one life in the woods and one around or inside the kill house. Starting at the wobbly bridge, the remaining players, with infinite buddy regens, had to rescue him. In the first iteration, our group of four players were in the defending group. The lad and I took up positions covering the left and were soon engaged with some of the enemy, delaying their advance and forcing them to change direction. However, I was eventually hit and fell back towards the kill house, where I was hit again in a confusing exchange of BBs with a group of our own players who had assumed that we were attackers. The game was repeated twice so that everyone had a turn at attacking; our attack was not exactly great and we failed to rescue the hostage. In the final iteration, the lad and I took up positions in the boundary ditch, planning to ambush any rescuers who came by; none did and, just as we decided to change position, the game ended. After lunch, we moved to the mortar pits; the attackers had to get a sticker on each of the vehicles in that area except the bus, while we had to stop them. The lad took up position on the top deck of the bus, calling out enemy movements and potting many of them with his Val. This was a wild and challenging game, with small groups of players sneaking or charging around, engaging and then changing position. When the game ended, the attackers had managed to sticker 10 vehicles. When the game was turned around, we moved out of the hill fort, which was the starting point. At this point, our team leader commented that "They don't seem to have moved up to the front"; he was then promptly shot by an enemy player who had done precisely that! As before, it was a confusing and challenging game, with players popping up all over the place. At the end, we had stickered eight vehicles. The site owner commented on the quality of the lad's play and his tactics; clearly, taxpayers' money has been well spend on training him. For the last game, the private hire group, who had not been involved in our earlier games, were invited to take apart in a game of Ambush with us as the ambushers. As usual, this involved the potential ambushees walking along the high street, while we grinned at them from the buildings. They could not shoot until we opened fire; once we had done so, they could move off the road and try to flank us. Their aim was to get one player into the hut at the far end. We were heavily outnumbered. As usual, once the shooting started, this descended into mayhem as we were gradually overwhelmed. I was eventually hit by a sneaky player just as one of their players made it into the target hut. Despite the low numbers and the heat, it was a good day, played in a good spirit. The hostage game was probably the weakest of the day as it was rather channeled, but it was still fun and the other games were excellent. The private hire group seemed to really enjoy the final game although they were quite surprised by how much better our guns were than the rental ones; I suspect that a fair few of them will be back. A few were asking about how to get a UKARA registration. Weapons used: Me: CYMA MPiKM Double Bell MPiKMS-72 ASG XP18 Commander CO2 The lad: Cyma AK74M LCT AS Val ASG XP18 Commander CO2

fun project. Picked up a worn PTS Masada AKM from Strykerles with a few known issues. Originally it looked like this: I stripped it completely down, removed all the old paint and replaced the micro switch in the gearbox which was goosed. Cerakoted the upper receiver with Magpul flat dark earth, put in a new front sight and replaced a few other bits. Turned out pretty good.

So, progress is being made. I bought a used DE M904E, which was in a worse state than I'd assumed, but it had its stock gears replaced with 13:1 SHS ones (short stroked by two teeth, I'd rather they had been as is) so there's one less thing to buy. I'd spent far more than I wanted to, but the inside of the gearbox was a bit of a shit show, and remaining parts will arrive soon for me to crack on and hopefully get it running ready for the Red Alert Battlesim Lite next weekend. My attempts with painting / rattle cans continues...

After a 10 year break, I'm back. LCT AK RS Type 97b
