    Am I being paranoid with 2nd hand sales?

    You were done the courtesy of being kept anonymous. Other than you and Lyndication, everybody was none the wiser until you decided to identify yourself. What stopped you from thinking to send a direct message to maintain that anonymity?

    The 'How Did Your Airsoft Day Go? Thread

    There are chronos at the site. It's up to you to self test. I'm curious what the terms are of the PLI policy with regard to weapons being within site limits. Trusting the word of a few hundred players sounds like more of a risk than having site staff personally verify a weapon was tested at the...

    The 'How Did Your Airsoft Day Go? Thread

    Sunday was spent at Airsoft Plantation near Billericay. It was the company's 20th anniversary so the turnout was expected to be high. Organisation by the host and marshals was really good and the turnout exceeded expectations as there were 440+ people in total. Because of the planning in case...

    Am I being paranoid with 2nd hand sales?

    Being paranoid implies you are being irrational and that there is no merit to being so cautious. There are bad actors out there so being vigilant around newly made accounts is the right thing. If the buyer takes your caution on a new account or a lack of forum interaction personally, that may be...

    The "Share A Bargain" Thread

    Full credit to @Punisher3990 for mentioning this in the "What have you bought?" thread. You can get a Vector Optics Maverick IV dot sight for just 50 of your hard-earned plus delivery or free collection if you're local to Newark...

    Yes, as long as your AoE is on point, the piston should remain centred.

    Thanks for letting us all know. I don't think there's a better example of needing to be vigilant as you were able to get your money back. If he's been dishonest with selling the product, you wonder if clearing out his grandad's shed is the new "I'm selling it for a mate" sort of red flag to...

    specna arms edge 2.0 H20 - issues with shimming, bb curving left with hop and FPS.

    As a troubleshooting exercise, it's worth checking the seal in your cylinder by pushing the piston (with the head and O-ring) within the cylinder while you have a thumb over the nozzle. If you feel resistance and reach a point you can't push the piston all the way in, you've got a good air seal...

    Macks airsoft dreamers of the week thread

    Also like used cars, when it's something obscure without an established supply chain of spare parts and there are only so many technicians who can work on them, the resale value is negatively affected further. That G&G GBBR only has so many places you can get mags from and it is its own...

    Apologies for the necro post but I'm glad Burnham is scrapping this nonsense.

    Advice for selling collection, TM AEGs, GBB Pistols, Spring Shotgun

    Being in the South East, Driver Wood just outside Crawley usually does a boot sale every 4th Sunday of the month so you can try selling them there. If you bring along someone to keep an eye on your pitch, you may be able to let a possible buyer test the guns at the chrono.

    There are AEGs other than the TM NGRS or EVOLT Recoil lines, assuming that's what you meant. JG made an AK AEG with electric blowback. Specna Arms also does a version of the G36C with electric blowback. I had one myself. There are a few others out there. The Noveskes N4 and Ghetto Blaster are...

    Macks airsoft dreamers of the week thread

    There's optimism then there's delusion selling above retail, especially as a 2-tone. The seller is in for a rude awakening when he learns not having fielded the gun won't preserve the value like he thinks.

    Am I too old? Too disabled?

    Welcome to the forum! You're definitely not too old. I've played against no shortage of airsofters in their 50s and 60s doing extremely well against the spring chickens. As Cannonfodder said, you have to decide for yourself with your disability as it's a personal thing and your case doesn't...
