Turns out this place is only a 10 minute drive from me, and I needed some new batteries to go with my new acquisitions. Not the easiest place to find, despite it being a tiny Welsh village, I've driven that way load's and never noticed it. Its a really nice small business, with really friendly and knowledgeable staff. Will definitely go back soon for more supplies. They knocked me up a couple of batteries with deans connections while I waited and gave me sensible advice on looking after and maintaining my batteries. They even brought out a few different ones to try so i could get the biggest I could fit in the rifs. I know they popular with you guys and I can see why. Would highly recommend them to anyone looking for batteries or any other parts.6 points

Recommended groin protection?

Just one thing to bear in mind, the more padding you wear the less heat is able to escape so you could easily find yourself overheating, especially in warmer weather3 points -

You have not even been yet? Would wait to buy more than the mandatory protection until you have been at least once, some people don't mind being shot in the dick, you could be a dick shot enjoyer and not even know it.2 points -
I know that the air cartridge (brocock ban) was a complete failure as only a small percentage that the police thought were in circulation got accounted for. In the House of Lords a few years ago they were discussing the lever release rifles as that law was changing, one of the members obviously knew his stuff and reminded his colleagues that compensation would be needed to avoid the farce of the air cartridge ban whereb 60-80 thousand went underground.2 points

Dodgy b#stards the lot of them, while im not up on the precise laws on this situation, the government would have benefited via taxation when these products, & all their ancillaries, when they were bought, so if they then want them handed over, for whatever reason, those who lawfully comply should have been compensated/rewarded, especially as pre ban there was no registration process on these, so nothing to stop anyone selling them to the highest criminal bidder, rather than give them away for nothing. But what do we know compared to the crooks that run the country 😉 (IMHO, not the forums)2 points

Retailer or dropshipper, not happening here😉2 points -
Agree, & imnot advocating lawbreaking, but just like rif ownership, common sense & responsibility needs to be used to ensure they're not misused, anyone who doesn't do that, whether its blank firers, airsoft, air rifles etc, deserves everything they've got coming to them, my only worry there is they don't take us down with them. @novioman regarding the guy with the, im guessing Brocock revolvers, he, & & anyone like him should be compensated, if they've been honest enough to hand them over, they shouldn't be left out of pocket for doing so, for once it would be a positive use of public funds, rather than the absolute bollocks they usually squander it on🤬2 points

More blank firers being banned.
HZR13 and one other reacted to Lyndication for a topic
I mean, a lot of people who go to LARPs, etc are private owners innit. Also sometimes used to scare birds, one of my old jobs used to have a guy go up on the roof and fire a few off to scare the gulls away. Plus some rich bastards have nice, big gardens where they don't have to worry about bothering their neighbours, and much like Airsofters, a lot of them buy the shiny thing, fire it twice, then hang it on the wall for 17 years.2 points -
Like a lot of these bans, some will ignore it and just hang on to them, it’s happened with all these types of legislation ideas. Had a guy come to our club a few months ago who still had 3 air cartridge guns, he hadn’t heard about the ban which was many years ago. He handed them into the police, they just took them & made no fuss apparently.2 points

Hi guys Attempting to change barrel on my Apache tonight and have come across an issue no one else seems to have raised in the searching I've done. The original barrel has 2 locating notches but all replacement barrels I've seen including the raved about crazy jet are all single notch, so are people filling down the second notch for barrels to fit? Am I missing something glaringly obvious? Thanks Lewis1 point

Comic con season again
Lyndication reacted to hunter511 for a topic
Many many moons ago a pressure group called "Mothers against Guns" wheeled out an 'expert' who was willing to testify that aeg's could easily be converted to fire live ammo. (Edit: as of 2023 the gun control network is still spreading this lie.) The fact that the doris who was running the group was married to an MP let that bit of misinformation get a LOT further than it should have, and this was before non IRA terrorism became "the new normal". See also the number of times that carrying a knife in public has been made illegal. Pretty sure we're on the 4th or 5th time that a government has decided to make a big fuss of creating legislation to ban knife crime rather than just enforcing the existing laws......1 point -
Look what postman Pat brought me today, feels like Christmas. The specna edge is from stryderb, who threw in some great extras. Thanks Sam. The Mp5 from namsam is a beauty, but I will admit I had no idea how to load and use the hi caps as I'd never seen em before. I thought I'd broken them. 😆 Had to phone a friend.1 point

I filed down the 2nd notch on my hop unit in my WE Scar H to fit a crazy jet. Figured I’d rather (potentially) ruin a £10 hop unit rather than a £30 barrel. It is easier as you know exactly how much material to remove in the hop unit and can test fit as you go. 10mins dremeling and it was sorted, barrel is still securely held without the second notch1 point

They've been supplying airsofters with all things battery related for years. Mainly because airsoft shops used to absolutely take the piss with battery prices often selling the exact same ones for double the price1 point -

Chai. reacted to Cannonfodder for a topic
Tbh dick shots don't happen that often (Alex Brooker could could the number I've had one 1 hand in over 20 years playing) and on the occasion they do it's a bb with max 2.3 joules behind it, hardly like being punched by Mike Tyson. Get a game day under your belt before buying a load of crap you don't need1 point -

The government were crafty with the brocock ban as you were given the option to keep them if you applied to put them on FAC. As I understand it, please correct me if iam wrong. If the government ban a gun because it could be converted to fire live rounds they don’t have to offer compensation. If for example they choose to ban replica airguns because they didn’t want them in circulation for some reason, then they would have to compensate owners.1 point

Thats probably the most impressive Airsoft collection I've ever seen! Side note question - In the course of the work on your WE Browning Hi-Power pistols, was anything done to make them work properly? I sometimes use a 'good enough for airsoft' Brit Cold War era loadout - 58 pattern webbing, SLR(s), my EM-2 prototype, SMG and the cursed, utterly unreliable WE Hi-Power!1 point -

Auction functionality in Classifieds?
BigStew reacted to ButcherBill for a topic
You could consider the classifieds as a 'Dutch Auction'... market prices set the base line & the seller adjusts/lowers the price until they find a buyer. in theory only greedy sellers will lose out. Consider Macks as the airsoft moral compass.1 point -
Even if it was possible, No, definitely not, as they are the classifieds are as straightforward as they can be, while your reasons are clear due to the nature & circumstances of what you're selling, that would encourage some greedy sellers to push for a bigger payday on maybe rarer items etc, & if they didnt get the windfall they hoped for, who's gonna force them to ship the items ? it's a free forum with free classifieds, the mod team are all volunteers & we have enough work keeping the scammers out & keeping some semblance of order amongst the rest of you reprobates 😜1 point

Stock piston? I'd check for damage around the back of the piston body, i suspect what happens is that the piston jams itself onto the spring guide, or that the spring somehow stretches itself over the spring guide and subsequently jams the piston. I've seen this happen a couple of times and already on Dboys guns (same exact internals as specna, just red plastics instead of blue).. A few different ways to solve it, some involve a bit more labour and parts changes but permanently removes the issue (look up short stroking).1 point

EMS shipping is significantly cheaper than that. On a 10KG order from Taiwan, I paid less than £45. A single rifle is going to be less than £30.1 point
