I'm currently in A&E. I won't bore you with the details, but the "Dyson ball cleaner" is a dangerously misleading product name

bit of a blast from the past. a Prime LR300 kit. It's had a bit of tinkering with a Gate Aster and some Maple leaf to bring it up to date inside.

Not just to mention 1 left glove - from toolstation 1 knee pad - found at his last skirmish And a fine selection of mixed weight floor beebs 😂 All included to get you sharted

Yep, come on JG, get yer finger out, your already half way there with the FAL, surely its just cosmetics to work on ?

Yes, but you are missing the added patina that comes from it sitting in a damp cold environment for more than a couple of months must surely add to the value? 😂 The feet of an oil rig are in better condition 😂

VS £18 new from AK2M4. 😶

Ideally, you want an inner barrel that matches (or as close as possible) to your original inner barrel length. Additionally, if you're changing the inner barrel i'd suggest doing the bucking and nub at the same time. Personally, I always use the Maple Leaf Macaron 60 degree bucking on AEGs with the Maple Leaf Omega nub. Usually around £15-£20. Suppressors are mainly used for hiding longer inner barrels without having buying a longer outer barrel/handguard, housing tracer units or purely for aesthetics. Not functionality. 90% of noise from an AEG comes from the gearbox and not the muzzle. Peq boxes are pointless and mostly for aethetics or external batteries.

G&G list a 304mm inner barrel for the 12in Wildhog. That's not a common size but a 300mm will work fine - ZCI make decent enough barrels Measure the diameter of this bit - and find a supressor of equal or smaller size - with a 14mm Negative (CCW) thread. The suppressor will have to sit partially inside the rail. The gun comes with a sound amplifier from the factory - makes the gun 'pop' when shooting. Just taking it off will quieten the gun down a fair bit - but will look a bit weird without something on the end of the barrel so a suppressor will 'complete' the look of the gun, even if they have very little effect on AEGs. No. Unless you intended to hit targets at zero dark thirty rocking your quad-tube NVGs with the rest of your 'operator' team And if you do get one - green lasers are banned at a lot of sites because they can cause permanent eye damage. If you are building a replica of a real-world setup (i.e. CAG or DEVGRU blaster) - then by all means go for it. But slapping one on a G&G for giggles? Nah.

Much as I love my wife, I never know where I am with her. Lovely woman, terrible map reader.

I've just had a prostate examination. Got the thumbs up from the doctor.

I'll keep an eye out for those barrels when they come back in stock. Annoyingly I cant remember what it was firing at, or if I replaced the spring it came with I assume I must have as its not firing at 4-500fps like most China guns out of the box. I generally stick a M95 spring in everything and find with a tightbore and decent air seals it puts out somewhere in the region of 320-330. Time to pick up a chrono again. Turns out returning to airsoft is almost as expensive as starting it in the first place

This! Most "upgrades" cock up a well engineered rif. Use it, decide what and if you think the RIF is lacking. It's very easy to focus on "upgrades" that actually make your RIF worse. How does your RIF compare in performance, side by side, to someone else's RIF? Considering how you play, do you then need to "upgrade" your RIF. Generally, I'd say save your money and put it towards a new primary RIF. Not that you need it, but in x amount of weeks you're going to get bored of your current RIF and want something that's different, an SMG, a gbbr, an AK etc. don't buy a back up RIF, when buying, get something you'll love more than your current one. The only thing I will say, is that if you aren't getting the range you want now and it's been sat there with the hop on doing nothing for 4 years, a new hop rubber wouldn't be a bad move (but a good idea to compare to someone elses range would be sensible in making the decision as to whether this is needed now). If your FPS is below 300 on a 0.2 gram bb, then that would make me take action sooner than I have recommended. Peq boxes are nowadays, pretty much purely for looks (I run them) but even if you had night vision, some sites are banning IR lasers and there are so many players with NV, it's a giveaway of your location. A red dot sight (and screen protector) is sensible, if only to improve your first shot hits and use 0.25 or 0.3 gram bbs.

As above. Also one of the cheapest and most effective "upgrades" is to simply switch to heavier ammo

Play several games with the gun as-stock, do nothing but clean the barrel. Figure out your playstyle, are you getting up close and personal? plinking from distance? Have a good notion in mind of how the gun is performing, and what about its current performance needs improving. Then its time to start talking about how to go about improving the performance to make it better at doing what you need it to do.

Nice. Yeah it looks pretty decent. Think I will take the plunge. Thanks.

Wish another company would give a FAL type a go. At this stage think I might sink the funds I have set aside for the KA into a DCA L7A2. October/November seems a short wait compared to King Arms' generic "end of 2023".

Overall, I’m impressed with the quality for what it cost (£27 to my door) Material seems of a decent quality, and stitching is ok, a couple of loose ends, but nothing to bother me. Buckle was wrapped to protect it during shipping, will it scratch easy or chip? Only time will tell, but certainly good enough for my Airsoft larping

On Saturday, the lad and I again ventured into Essex to Tower Airsoft. The weather forecast was poor with heavy rain forecast for the afternoon, which may have been responsible for the relatively low number of regular players. However, numbers were boosted by two rental groups, one being a stag group and the other the local under 15 football team; each group was allocated to one of the teams. As usual, the games were well thought out and worked well, the highlight for me being a solo stand outside the fort during a domination game, preventing the opposition getting to the timer that they had to switch over, while the rest of my team (all dead) watched from the track. It was also rather satisfying to see the lad putting his recently acquired combat skills into effect in an airsoft environment rather than at Sennybridge. Huge kudos to the chap on the other team who was dressed as a US cavalryman and toting two revolvers, However, there were some of the usual problems with large rental groups, which the marshals did everything they could to mitigate. Fortunately, as planned, the stag group left at lunchtime to go somewhere and get pissed and the footballers were taken off to play by themselves in one part of the field where they could use full auto on each other as much as they wanted. In the afternoon, the weather forecast proved to be accurate, with heavy rain. However, neither the weather nor the issues affected our enjoyment of the day; the lad was very pleased with the performance of his LCT AS Val, bought from @Thorpey, to whom many thanks.

Cheeky wee purchase of an IdoGear shooters belt from Ali Exp Quick delivery from just outside HK, took only 8 days, way faster than their estimated delivery date. Seems solid enough, holds my secondary and a mag & dump pouch quite solidly Nice feeling to be able to order a Medium for the first time in about 8 yrs!! Tired of being a porker, lost 3” off my waist so far this year, and I’m motivated to get back to a 32 ish waist 🤞 It’ll get tried out next weekend, can’t wait! Getting my loadout perfected for NAF , so as I can sit about and talk shit with my boys and not bother to play (it’s a festival after all innit!!) 😂

4 kocks, the 4th one being the kock behind the camera

That's my pet hate too, I hate it when I've got someone screaming in my face "COME ON PUSH UP, GET MOVING, MAKE SOME EFFORT YOU USELESS TUB OF LARD" I hate Saturday nights with the missus😭

Love the Meninblack. That scope sits silly high. Get a medium set of mounts (I'd guess). The more rainbow your trajectory, the closer you want bore to scope.

I don't want politics here and I am completely neutral on the situations going on. I have bought quite a few gears and trophies captured from Ukraine, while I've also placed orders from Russian shops like Grey and Kula. But you are making the point, not the best choice to buy from them now so I'll most probably pass it

Either way, the going rate for those is £40-45 each. I payed £300 for 5 once...but it also came with a free TM CQBR.

A man finishes work on Friday then goes to the pub with his mates and doesn't come home till Sunday evening. Naturally his wife isn't happy and asks how he would like it if he didn't see her for 3 days. "Fine by me" he replies Monday he didn't see her, Tuesday he didn't see her then Wednesday evening the swelling round his eyes went down

Went to the doctor with a suspicious-looking mole. He said they all look like that and I should have left him in my garden

No income tax, no VAT No money back, no guarantee Black or white, rich or broke We'll cut prices at a stroke.

I accept bank transfer payments, cash payments, cryptocurrencies like bitcoin, Paypal friends and family and Paypal business only to users with good reputation The last time I saw a red flag that big was in tiananmen square

I would argue if the juice was worth the squeeze on the upgrade the gun wouldnt be being sold........

"Extremely heavily upgraded" Translation:- fucked about with and probably a rolling wreck. An overpriced one at that.

https://www.airsoft-hub.com/item/19722-rare-we-colt-m4-co2-rifle £1230 for a WE CQBR with mags and a few accessories. That’s massively over priced I hear you say. Ah, but hold on. He’s ex-infantry who wants something more than just a normal airsoft gun. So this is a rare WE Colt M4 (yeah, there’s no Colt trademarked receiver, so it’s just a bog standard WE CQBR with a couple of internal upgrades), which is a fully upgraded milsim rifle. Now you see where the value lies 😉. Honestly mate, you’ll be lucky to get half that price 🤔

No picture of username and date, scammer reported.

Do I get Macks Bonus points for honesty?

£410 for a used "short-stroked" (can be done with a few quids worth of buffers) WE Hi-Capa and 2x drum mags. The latter are "worth £300 alone" - if you find literally the most expensive place online and value used magazines at full-price.. So the RIF is worth around £75, say £80 each for the mags (even that's not factoring in any reduction for buying as a bundle)....just add £175 for a used red dot and mount...bargain!

Couple things grab me on this. Why would the receipient need to read the T&C's? Why is it the recipient's problem? If it's a business then claim a refund or if it's second hand you'll get your money back as you'd have paid via a reversible form (surely?) As others have said, PF48 is the only one that on paper will carry a RIF. It's not hard info to find. Evri are hit and miss, they carry thousands of parcels, there will always be the odd bad driver or parcel that goes astray, you only hear the horror stories as sent an item and it was delivered isn't gripping.

Anyone not cohering with these rules will face a suspension, ban or deletion of their account, this includes all posts and topics. The Guidelines • Search There is a search feature on this forum that will help you to find information that may have already been posted up. Often people experience very similar problems so the chances are that your question has already been answered is highly likely. Regulars to the forums will usually be aware if your question has already been answered several times before, so some may become annoyed you didn't use the search feature. There is a three character minimum length for searching, i.e. MP5, hpa, fps. Try using different search terms to get more results. • Giving advice Give solid advice only if you are sure what you are talking about. Don't mislead people as at best you are risking their money, and at worst, you are risking their safety. It's much better to say your only guessing and let others add to your answer than to lead the person into doing something wrong, and coming back and pointing the finger at you. • Post in the appropriate sub-forums If you want to chat about the latest Airsoft releases, do it in "Latest News". If you are new to the forums and want to ask a question, it might be best in the "Advice & Technical Help" forum. If you want to sell something, the "Classifieds" forums are the place to announce it. Basically, have a look at all the categories and post where you think your topic will be best suited. • Use descriptive titles for new topics Posting a topic with the title "Look here!", or "Please help", will not attract the attention of the users. If you use titles like "JG G36C gearbox problem", or "New gun from ICS!", more people will view your post and will know what they are about look at. Do not post titles in ALL CAPS, do not post misleading titles ("clickbait"). • Use good English and check your spelling! "1337-Speak" should also not be used on these boards. Nor should "text speak", use your word processing software to check for basic spelling and grammar errors, we aren't looking for the best English, but it is a lot easier to read a checked post, than another like, "hi, wel i av a prob wiv me gun u c nd i dnt no wot 2 do". Adding punctuation, full stops and commas make it easier to read. • Use Personal Mail (PM) Instead of posting in a Sales / Swaps topic which will cause it to 'bump' that topic just use your PM to communicate asking and answering questions. Sellers should be aware that any post, for whatever reason (especially answering questions or making a comment), that are before the 7 days is considered a bump. If you cannot receive PM then try deleting some old ones to free up space. • Caps lock Do not post in all Caps lock as it looks like you are shouting at somebody and is also very annoying to read. Topic and advert titles are to be in normal sentence case, not in all CAPITALS. • Don't post duplicate topics Multiple topics started about the same thing may be deleted, merged or moved at the moderators' or my discretion. If you intend on using the Classifieds forum you must read and follow the rules • Use "Smileys" effectively "Smileys" can be used in your forum posts. If you are joking about something, use them to help indicate that your statement was made humorously. They can be used to indicate your mood and show that something was not meant to be taken seriously. If you don't use them, people will assume you are being serious. Arguments have broken out before because of a misunderstood joke. • No Arguing Don't argue, if you feel offended by the comments of another user or believe a post is offensive, report it to the moderators, and they or I will be deal with it. Starting a fight may result in sanctions for all those involved. Our first decision is our final one! • Be nice to other forum users Treat others as you would like to be treated to yourself. There is absolutely no need to be abusive on these forums. If you are then your posts / topics will be edited or deleted, you may be given a warning, you may get your account suspended, and persistent offenders will be banned. • Post Spam Don't post just to raise your post count, there is no bonus in it, and moderators will become frustrated with the spam. Continued post spamming will result in a suitable sanction. • Be Constructive If you don't have something constructive to add to a thread then don't post at all. This applies especially in the "Classifieds" section, if you have something to say, PM it to the seller. Comments like "good luck with the sale" or "nice gun" are also not appreciated. Repeatedly ignoring these guidelines when you post, may lead to your posts or account being moderated/edited. If you intend on using the Classifieds forum you must read and follow the rules Forum Rules The following are rules that must be adhered to. Failure to follow these rules will attract the attention of the forum moderators. All moderators are friendly people and follow the rules laid out to them, they are there to enforce the forums rules, if you have a problem with a particular moderator please PM me "proffrink" personally. • Thread bashing/trolling There will be some posts or threads in the forum that you may not like. If you dislike somebody's thread or some of the people participating in the discussion simply don't bother reading or replying to it. Posting/trolling in it with the sole purpose of having it closed (bashing) will not be tolerated. • Off topic Try to stay close to the original topic of a certain thread as much as you can. If you wish to talk about something else make a new topic, do not use an existing one. Remember to use the search function as there may already be a topic for what you wish to talk about. • Spam Adding posts that contribute nothing to the conversation (spam) will be deleted or merged with a previous post. Do not "bump" your threads by posting irrelevant information or just "bump". It is spam and will be deleted. Continuous spamming will result in warning points being added to your account, a suspension, or a ban from the forums. • Advertising No one is to use their account to place advertisements in their signature, avatar or any posts. Anyone caught will have their account, including all posts and topics deleted. They may also be banned by IP depending on the seriousness of the offence. • Duplicate Accounts Each user is only allowed one account. Duplicate accounts take up valuable system resources and annoy other forum users. It is very easy to spot duplicate accounts created or used by the same person, and any duplicate accounts found will be removed. Breaking the following rules will result in an immediate IP ban, deletion of account and removal of all posts and topics. • Absolutely NO References glorifying or inciting drug-misuse References glorifying or inciting criminal behaviour or violence Images or videos of graphic violence Images or videos of an adult or graphically sexual nature Images or videos that show drug misuse • Racial, Sexual and Religious Equality This site makes no discrimination between people of different race, gender or religion. Airsoft is a sport for all, and these forums reflect that. We welcome everyone except those who demonstrate intolerance toward others. • Illegal/Banned Subjects You cannot discuss anything that will help someone break the law in his or her locale. This means talking about: How to evade paying tax on imported goods How to make a semi-automatic replica shoot fully-automatic in a country that does not allow this feature How to make your own or modify pyrotechnics How to get restricted items past customs How to get restricted items if you are under-age Any other illegal activities If you intend on using the Classifieds forum you must read the and follow the rules The link is very accessible from within the Classifieds forum if you wish to read the rules at a later date.

Updated.

The Law Your sale must be in compliance with Great British law, especially relevant; the VCRA, which has laid down various restrictions on the trade of Imitation Firearms (IF) and Realistic Imitation Firearms (RIF). Remember, the seller is responsible for checking and verifying the legality of a sale. Please see the UK Law section of the forums if you need any guidance on this and open a topic if you're unsure. None of the below is legal advice. In short: As a seller you are liable for who you're selling to. No airsoft gun can be sold to someone under the age of 18 irrespective of whether it's 2-tone or a RIF (i.e. black/realistically coloured) As a seller you must take precautions to satisfy yourself that who you're selling to has a valid defence against prosecution for owning an airsoft gun - for the majority of cases this means the person you're selling to should be an airsoft skirmisher. Some things you can check are: Skirmishing site membership UKARA database membership Photographic proof that a member is a skirmisher (i.e. pictures of them playing) In the interests of protecting the right to play airsoft in the UK, please be diligent when coordinating your sale, ensuring you adhere to the points above. Be responsible and reasonable in your requests for information on another player - do not ask for more information than you require or would be happy to give yourself, but do satisfy yourself that who you're selling to is a legitimate player. Forum Specific Rules (action will be taken against your account for disregarding these) Failure to comply with the rules will result in you receiving a ‘Forum Warning’. Warnings start with the verbal kind and steadily increase in respect of seriousness/repeat offences right through to a ban and deletion of all posts and topics along with your user account. Find out more about ‘Forum Warnings’. All sales / trades must take place between two adults (i.e. over 18 years of age). All sales and swaps must use the sales template. Add additional information to let buyers know your trade preferences or location for collection. This will help sell your gun or gear as listing without pictures rarely sell. All sales must have an asking price. The price must be in UK Sterling £. All sales and swaps topics must have a picture, all pictures must be taken by the seller (adding a piece of paper with your forum name and date helps, but is not a rule). Do not use a retailers pictures - take your own. You must have access to the item that you're selling. You cannot be selling items that you do not own, are not able to post immediately or being sold on the behalf of someone else. You must include a picture of every item that you are selling. It is not acceptable to just show a box or use a stock images. Pictures must be visible in the listing (whilst we do allow links to other forums, simply placing a link instead of a picture is not permitted). Do not list the same item twice simultaneously. I.e. don't 'double list' an item. You cannot have an advert in both Sales and Swaps section for the same item, just select "For sale or swap" for advert type. Once your item(s) is/are definitely sold/you've found the item you're looking for (even if the sale happened elsewhere), please mark the advertisement as 'complete' by visiting the listing and clicking 'Set as Complete'. Second hand airsoft-relevant items only. No selling/swapping of any other items, this includes offering items such as consoles for trade. There are no exceptions to this rule. No sales of knives, real guns, airguns, or any item of any description that readily fires metal munitions, metal munitions themselves, or any other weapon of any type, aside from IFs and RIFs within the legal limits. The following limits are on all sales with no exceptions: <370ft/s for full auto systems with a .20g BB (1.3J is the legal maximum) <520ft/s for semi auto systems .20g BB (2.5J is the legal maximum) <520ft/s for single fire systems .20g BB (2.5J is the legal maximum) You must communicate with your buyer/seller once a transaction is initiated (i.e. ignoring their PMs or topics asking what's going on with a sale/purchase). If you complete a trade/sale of any kind via the forums, please leave feedback for the seller/buyer, this allows us to see who we can trust or who we need to keep an eye on. You may leave feedback by going here. Any suspicions about the item(s) or seller should be sent via PM to a Moderator. Use the "Report this advert" link at the bottom of the listing and include a message (this will flag an issue for Moderators to look at). Transaction Advice (action will not be taken against your account for disregarding these) When buying or trading, we recommend that you take down the following details of the other party: full name, address, telephone number, email, alternate telephone number (work or mobile). It is wise to check the address is legitimate and that the telephone number is answered by the person you are dealing with. We also recommend that you request a photo of the items with a piece of paper next to it with the sellers username and contact details written on. We recommend PayPal for online transactions due to their excellent buyer and seller protection. Bear in mind that methods such as cheque, postal order, bank transfer or other may not be protected and as a result of using them you may not be able to retrieve your losses should anything go wrong. If you are paying for goods via PayPal, please make sure your payment is labelled for goods/services. Sellers may ask you to label your payment as a gift to avoid PayPal fees. However, this will prevent you from being able to access any of the PayPal buyer protection services (i.e. if something goes wrong, your money cannot be refunded). Should sellers ask you to do this, it may be better to offer to pay the fees out of your own pocket instead. Parcelforce 48 will post RIFs if you declare the contents as an airsoft gun. We recommend them as a courier. Disputes Given the nature of trades on these forums, it's impossible for a Moderator to mediate a trade effectively without reading your personal messages (something they cannot do and will never be able to), but if you build up a reputation for being an unscrupulous buyer/seller and are non-communicative you may receive actions against your account. Legal Disclaimer Whilst we do moderate the forums, it is not down to us to verify whether someone is legitimate or not, and whilst we will make every endeavour to ensure all our users are keeping within the law, you use these forums at your own risk and we accept no responsibility for any loss or other damages that should transpire as a direct or indirect result of your continued use of our forums.
