The markup on UK stores is absolutely not what you think it is. People see a price on proact, then something on UK stores and assume the rough difference is the markup. The average margin on airsoft guns in the UK is between 10 - 15% for most stores.

Yep, that's when it all went to shit. He's not the only person, I believe there are many people who actually paid and just never received their items. If he still has it and wants some money for it, I'll buy it. Might be worth another email if he wants to fix it.

I believe that's the case, due to some...."political situations" regarding the business previously...

I know someone who bought an ex-display Type 97 from them recently, a customer of my own no less, and he has the photos to prove it. The lady is called Helen, but there are other members of staff that other people have spoken to.

Yeah for the last few years that has certainly been the case. In the last 12 months or so, they've posted more on Facebook, YouTube and are also responsive to emails.

Will he sell it? 😆 In all seriousness, they are telling me they have them in stock, as well as tapped plates and all other internals. When did he contact them?

I've heard the Akriva used Norinco bodies, whether or not this is true, I don't know, but given what people say about Realsword, it might be

Realsword. It makes me feel old but when I started airsoft, they were synonymous with the best quality externals you could find on an AEG, and were generally just good products. Sure, the range is limited compared to other manufacturers, but what they make, they make well. I think ever...

And they're here! First deliveries out today, more to follow....

Nearly there....

Just got the email stating they're being collected on Sunday and sent via air freight. All being well, they should be with me in a fortnight or so.

Yeah it is, it's not great for skirmishing but it is the "real" capacity, at least that box is ticked

They've said the mag capacity is 10 rounds. The thing we're all waiting for is performance, I can live without a gas rifle that empties 5 magazines worth of ammo with one fill, as long as the 1 or 2 I do get work flawlessly and it shoots well.
