People need to bare in mind that any damage in shipping is the seller's responsibility. If they're not going to be helpful then hit them where it hurts and get a refund via however you paid. This is why you don't pay via bank transfer or PayPal f&f and quite frankly anyone who does still use these is asking for trouble

I find adding gravel in the box helps pack things tight so they don't get thrown around in transit 😁

CP: not even once. My weird son had a really good game day yesterday. Handy enough skirmish with, but the range and accuracy of a BASR.

It's in Gods hands now

Please if you are shipping something have the decency to wrap it in some bubble wrap before you chuck it in a box. I am now 2 for 2 on guns I can’t just buy online that have either been soaked or crushed in shipping…

Or at least going into MSPaint and putting red boxes over the items not included.

Giving the new Waldo NPAS a go

Not bought but swag haul from DSEI the other week. Most of my guns don't have QDs but I'll give the Spiritus Reverso a try at some point.

A slack handful of everything I need to build an m733 turned up this afternoon from 18airsoft. Superb service as ever -order placed with them Thursday afternoon last week , with the cheapest postage option selected. 4 calendar days to my door.... Quite pleased to have found a Lonestar style grip made by 'armyforce' for only a fiver....

An older config of the TM SCAR-L. Has a different stock and forend kit now, but this setup was pretty decent all things considered.

it depends how many parts you are buying. Non UK base retailers offered to post guns in two or more parts for a while to get round HMRC, they got wised and cracked down on anything airsoft for awhile. I have had UKARA requests for mags.

Better to have it and not need it...

You dont need a UKARA for importing parts . However , depending on the carrier , they might want proof of a defence . ups in particular are bloody awful for that sort of thing . I had to jump through hoops with them to get the CO2 boxmag I ordered for my GBB M249. Again , no defence actually required , but ups .....

They are one of oldest Airsoft shops outside of Japan. I have bought for them multiple times over the years. Just be aware they are Hong Kong based, you will need to include shipping and import tax into the price, HMRC is going to want a valid UKARA number. It could take several weeks for your purchase to be delivered and clear customs. Unless you can't get it in the UK I wouldn't import unless you are still going to save serious money after fees.

Jeezo, I thought that would be blindingly obvious to sellers on here. When I ship stuff I pack the hell out of it.

"Trader" in the manner of DelBoy Trotter.

Rebuilt an old S&T IDZ Stock to fit to my VFC after discovering a new one would cost £40+ from China. Also managed to fit an S&T "Enhanced" Gas Block to my standard VFC barrel meaning I don't need to take a gamble on Clutch Precisions shitty QC just for the sake of having a "correct" gas block. All that's left to do now is get the KA4 top rail to replace the plastic IDZ and then my VFC G36KA4 GBBR will be "done" (It never is done though, lets be real...)

Maruyama SCW-9 SD2

Player marshals may or may not be effective, but they are not cringe, which is also the case for many of the items in that long list. I have acted as a player marshal from time to time, but always in collaboration with non-player marshals. The role is useful for keeping an eye on behaviour within teams.

Here's my M4 (Specna Edge), my brother's M16 (Specna Core I think) and my XM177 (E&C). The M4 has a Perun hybrid, 14:1 gears, solid bushings and compression set from Mr Ak2m4, motor is a bit of a mutt I built by putting the armature from a high torque motor into the case of a high torque, high speed one from AliExpress. Barrel is the original brass Specna 6.03 and uses a Macaron 60 hop rubber, omega nub. It shoots like a laser (in Airsoft terms) and has decent range. ROF is about 23rps on 2s I think? The M16 is bone stock and this also shoots fantastically, with decent range too- my brother is going to leave that as is. He has great fun blasting people with the 203 too, usually accompanied by giggling... The XM is my favourite to look at, the trades are fantastic and I love the old school integrated carry handle over the M4's detachable one. It has an upgraded compression set and nozzle, again from ak2m4, and a 6.02 stainless barrel. Hop is the same as the M4. It's running 16:1 gears and I have a Perun hybrid on the way for it. The problem I have with the XM is that it does not shoot as accurately as the M4, I get the odd curler which goes off to the side now and then. I may remove the barrel and try to polish it a bit to see if that helps at all...

I was comparing felt recoil on my VFCs this afternoon and took the opportunity for a family photo.

My first VT 🤙

Very pleasant yeah. Well once I got there anyway, there was that tube strike which made the travel a 'mare and the current middle east situation caused the usual protests outside to get cranked up a notch. Very enjoyable once I was there though. I could be slightly biased since I've always got in for free though. No the gun world defo stole that idea from.. I dunno whoever was doing sew/iron on patches, but they added velcro, then the airsoft companies started knocking off those designs and it spread from there (just like basically everything in airsoft).

@Ronin0033 in case you were interested, it was the recoil spring not being strong enough to counter the disconnector spring so the trigger wasn't resetting properly. New recoil spring and it feeds and shoots every time now

I'd second this. In fact, it's exactly what I did (albeit with a maple leaf rubber). No need to take it to a tech to semi lock though - the Cyma SR25 is about as easy as it gets to semi-lock - you simply need to put a couple of washers onto the rear body pin, such that they are sandwiched between the inner face of the receiver and the outer face (left hand side) of the gearbox. This is enough to stop the rearward movement of the selector plate so that it can't move into the full auto position. SR25 mags are cheap, and easy to get. The Battleaxe ones with the fake bullet window work excellently in the Cyma SR25, and hold an obscene number of BBs.

Only played there once, back in January 2020, right before lockdowns... it was my first ever airsoft game after my brother convinced me to give it a try, so TBH I wasn't really focusing on the way the site was run/set up as I had no prior frame of reference. Was a good site with good game modes and props. One thing I will say is to echo @mightyjebus... take a torch. There are a lot of dark (but not pitch black) areas in the cell blocks, so a torch will come in handy. Honestly want to return to this site again, but due to other commitments, I will be limited on game days for a few months... hopefully in the new year.

Played p ball at bawtry. My mate plays so hopefully he well take me to one, Just need to now when the next one is on or a few dates. He's got loads of kit I can use. He's ex army. So I should be sorted

Welcome mate, I've not long joined and the guys here have been very friendly and helpful. I've had some great purchases thru the classified section on here too, but be careful as it gets addictive and expensive quickly. 😆 Rick.

viper 2 mag pouches are a decent price.

I would just slap your UKARA number on the package anyway. Just in case someone takes exception to your parts and thinks you're trying to build the world's worst gun.

Nice to see cringy patches isn't just an airsoft thing 😁

Poor mans Sig MPX, a Stribog SP10A3. Weirdly also a poor airsofter's MPX as the VFC sig MPX is 500 quid but you can get the Stribog for £190.

If you're dead set on a P90, i'd say save a bit of cash and go for the Novritsch option. It's slightly cheaper and has some upgrades pre-installed. Mag carrying solutions are kinda terrible all over in my opinion but Novritsch helped with his SSR90 mag pouches which can be mounted horizontally however, at 16 euro per pouch, it gets spendy fast. Magazine wise, the best i've used are the King Arms 100 round mags (£62 for a box of 5 at Firesupport). The MAG branded ones are hard to find and struggle to feed in my experience without additional work/modification, the CYMA and TM ones only hold 68 BBs. Novritsch sells 100 rounds mid caps for 19 euro each - he cancelled production of the 180 BB magazines because they wouldn't feed reliably AFAIK. If I remember rightly, the Krytac P90 mags hold 200 BBs but they're about £35 EACH. As for FPS; it doesn't really matter. You can adjust FPS after purchase by changing the spring in the gun. Some have 'quick change springs' which makes it super easy to change - some do not and you have to open the gearbox. The Novritsch version has a quick change. The best advice is from Austeyr - before buying, see if you can hold a P90 from another player or a shop to see if it's comfortable for you.

If I was doing it, I'd just get a Cyma platinum SR-25, a power appropriate spring, a ZCI m4 hop unit (the stock one has a weird arm, or at least mine did) and a quantum hop rubber. Setting them to semi-only isn't too difficult, though if you don't know what you're doing I'd get a good tech to do it, and the larger cylinder volume can be helpful for setting it up efficiently on heavier ammo. Quick change spring system is very useful for going to different sites or events that may have different power limits, and you won't have anyone saying "that's not a real DMR" at events that require real-world DMR platforms.

Sorry that this is happening. To try and get to the bottom of it could a couple of you do the following? Send a link to the ad you cannot renew Let me know the date you listed it Let me know whether this is impacting all of your ads or just some of them I'm looking into this now too.

At what point is this guy just a trader in disguise?

I've spoken to them / him and the response was... I’ve forwarded the below including the pics to Hadron who assure me that these are just machining marks that very few of the units will carry. These won’t have any bearing on the performance of the unit. ... so I'm happy to go ahead and install it, but will stop if I feel the inner barrel catching at all. The response also implies that some other purchasers of it will have the same marks. I'll probably install it during next week and then pop down the farm my brother works on to test it safely at range in a quiet field (and compare it to my DMR). Also in your last photo that's certainly not one of the assumed side arms to go with a sniper. It's good to be different though 😃 (I run an AAP-01)

Only if it's Irn-bru

No idea about the price but... How can it be brand new if it's been "fully upgraded" and has stuff bolted to it?

where to begin ....... people that sell second hand stuff that's broken or will break when the new person uses it , idiots that buy HPA because they have been told its the best , and they have no clue how to operate the equipment (been at chrono and the marshal asked the guy to turn down the regulator ..... he then asked the marshal '' how do i do that ?'' General shit talkers , with subjects that relate to RS firearms or gear they have watched on a YouTube video dickheads that use ghillie suits ... and don't follow the principles of camo and concealment, using heaviest ammo and only getting 50m shops that dont give the correct advice for new people , and just use them as a sale pallet sites player marshals any airsoft team that has the following words in there name , or associations to ancient history, Spartans, hoplite , immortals , guards , wolf , dog , dragon, phoenix , headless chicken squad names nicco any youtube video that is set up like a call of duty commentary with hit markers and killfeeds and music any event that uses ai images to advertise an event, that goes for shops too obnoxious geardos idiots that have go pros , on everything call signs for team members anyone that turns up in a german ss uniform un ironically or not at a ww2 event people that dont know the limitations of there equipment too friendly regulars .... people that think there regular site is there personal toy box and complain when they lose walts people that played about a years airsoft , equate that to them knowing everything , and telling you the best gear and upgrades to use

Thank you mate. Looks clean AF that. The irons are tidy, just need something taller due to face pro.

You need a drug lord to round off that collection 😉

Just arrived ..... they look great, even better when I get round to wall mounting them.

Another purchase from Stryderb (Sam) from here. Absolutely love it, phenomenal rate of fire. (26 rps) Couple of free mags as well. Can't wait to get a tracer for it. Thanks Sam.

TM AK102 NGRS. Bought 2nd hand and thought I'd gotten a bit of a deal but turns out the previous tech work was very damaging. It looks like the original problem was the little nub that allows safe, semi, full auto had snapped but instead of fixing or fitting a new nub the tech had modified the selector plate, cut a new full auto slot in the receiver, removed the plate that stops the trigger from moving on safe and fitted the worlds biggest fuse holder under the front handguard. cue designing and printing a new safety plate, drilling and pinning a new nub into place, fitting a eagle6 AK selector and adding a leviathan, filling in the new selector marking with JB weld and then sanding and painting the receiver. Since I had it in bits I fitted a steel stock catch (TM one has a habit of breaking if you drop the AEG), heavily modified a lower foregrip to fit the NGRS (much drilling, sanding, grinding and then painting). Also fitted a mock Bulgarian flash hider as it came with the AK105 bell flash hider and not the TM AK102 one. It came with a upgraded inner barrel, gears and spring and is sitting nicely at 340 on a .2

My first MWS, lovely bit of kit. Its a TM CQBR Block1

All ready for this weekend; ready to ambush some GIs with their own gear! Been going down the LBE rabbit hole, watching god knows how many youtube videos and reading a bunch of real steel shooting articles to make sure my setup is as good as it can be and has everything I need. 8 rifle mags (stubby m16 mags or kar98k mags), 4 spare pistol mags, 1911, knife, and a WW2 camo scarf and a bunch of scrim netting in the butt pack for sneaky sniper shenanigans, plus two canteens for water for sustainment. It's also pretty well balanced, with the right side only being slightly heavier than the left because my Bell 1911 is heavier than the rubber knife, though if I use one of my TM 1911s the weight difference is negligible (but I'll be using the Bell 1911 because it's incredibly fun to shoot) I also only just learned that I need to wear my LBE a little bit higher than my waist-line, so... yeah. Learning!

Your post wasn't deleted, it was hidden & locked, there's a difference. While I appreciate you were trying to give people a heads up, anything to do with airguns, sales or discussions, isn't permitted here. There must be better suited forums for airgun discussion, Facebook pages, or even YouTube reviews you could post. Just not here. & no, its not a cult, just an airsoft community, many projects are discussed here, loads of advice given, but there are some specific rules, which clearly you're not following. Its not rocket science🤔 PS your other posts, the ones you claim to be ignored on, are all pertaining to the same cheap rifle/upgrade you were having issues with. Could it be that no one here has tried to do the same "upgrade" with the same kit, & therefore didnt feel qualified to confidently advise you on the best course of action ?. Four posts on one subject (IN 6 YEARS😏) isn't a great example of you trying to "engage" with the forum, in fact it just shows that you expect the hive mind to be here for you, as & when you need them, & clearly not the other way round. Maybe you're right to give up, although I don't know how we'll manage without your input 🤣

I’ve had through my hands (at last count) 10 MP9’s, most of which were broken, so can make decent list of stuff you will need at some point. I’ll go through your list first: Part 153 (disconnector) - yes, very much needed. The main MP9 point of failure! Part 151 (hammer release) - not seen a standard one break, but if you get a steel hammer, then get this too WiiTech piston head - yes, but double check this doesn’t need to be used on the WiiTech piston chassis. Part 25 - not seen a broken one, I wouldn’t bother Nozzle springs - yes, get 2 sets! My recommendations: TNT Barrel set - so much better than the KWA hop unit WiiTech Steel Hammer (part 26) - standard ones snap at the sides, sometimes will still function, but best to change to steel. Plus it’s a pain to change, so get this and only do it once! WiiTech Steel Action Bar (trigger bar) - I have one on mine and makes the trigger pull much better WiiTech 130% Recoil spring - MP9’s can have issues if they don’t fully go into battery, this will solve that A CowCow/LPE/WiiTech piston head. Anything over the standard KWA piston head. They dry out and crumble. Beware there are 2 different sizes of pistons and piston heads, 14mm (orange) & 15mm (green), so work out which you have. If you already have a WiiTech nozzle I’d get the WiiTech piston chassis. The WiiTech nozzle will destroy the back of the chassis eventually. Also the WiiTech nozzle is very difficult/almost impossible to change the valve on…. Hope this helps. Enjoy the MP9, it’s such a little beast ?
