    Someone doesn't like UKARA, or here we go again

    Ok, lets take pedanticism to the max as the pair of you clearly want to do so: Publications are the guidance documents made to determine how something is realistically enforced, as laws are rarely directly enforced by the primary or secondary legislation. So that document is how if it makes it...

    Concerningly the most common I've seen is lack of appropriate PLI. Which given the nature of things, is a baseline minimum for running anything involving the public, but it seems people running them think they can do without.

    UKARA has nothing to do with stipulating the time periods now, its written into the legislation - Section 38 - https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/the-violent-crime-reduction-act-2006-commencement-no-3-order-2007-firearms-measures

    Whilst in principle, i'm all for alternatives. HOWEVER, Do not put your personal information into that, as it currently stands, as whoever made it doesn't seem to understand simple web development concepts, so the claims of having secure data handling and being GDPR compliant in that regard is...

    Interesting Double Bell HPA replicas

    Double bell and Double Eagle are completely different companies by the way, probably worth updating the title.

    Viper Venom boots, any good ?

    Only the ones that require custom tailoring are made in Richmond now, the rest are Italy (Full leather uppers) or Romania (synthetic uppers). They're all prototyped in Richmond, if you must hang on to the supporting local companies thing Edit: i've done the custom tailoring route, the process...

    Viper Venom boots, any good ?

    New magnums are shite. Pre 2015, they were all made in Northampton, now they're just mass manufactured sweatshop items. Lowa's/Meindl's/Altbergs - only way you're getting those cheap is in sales, they're anywhere between twice or 3 times as much. So not just a little bit more. Any feet/leg...

    Viper Venom boots, any good ?

    I ran them for about a year until the sole started separating, but I did also have an early release pair and I was using them for site visits for my then workplace, so it might have improved (and I did relay the feedback to them, which they thanked and acknowledged receipt of, which is...

    I found my invoice for it, I got mine from mlemart, its the madbull 9" variant. airsoftzone only have it on their swiss site, so wouldn't ship it to the UK, KYAirsoft are lying and don't actually have it in stock and tried to hold me to ransom for 8 months with the money as well, softair-italia...

    What’s your oldest and still used RIF?

    I can't even remember at this point, I know it took me the best part of 12 months to find one that was stocked by a company that would ship it to the UK.

    What’s your oldest and still used RIF?

    The base of this is a RATech lvl 3 AAC from July 2014 (the first batch of RATech allergic to QC "upgrade" part only rifles) - although at this point quite a lot of is very much not original. Although i've not personally owned it for that long, I have been using WE GBBRs for longer.

    Extremely innacurate GBB

    This isn't an MWS with a hop unit inside the outer barrel, the hop unit is held in clamp pressure by the upper receiver, if anything is misaligned or not stable, it won't even go into position to a point where a barrel nut will get to threads. You're adding extra complications and fluff where it...

    Macks airsoft dreamers of the week thread

    I mean, the Nuprol ones might as well be, they scuff every fucking thing put in them, but i'll be fucked if i'm paying 10x as much to get the 'proper' one in LH.

    Extremely innacurate GBB

    You could also be suffering from midcap syndrome as well, as all of the midcaps that Airtac recommend are renowned for it - if you try only half filling a mag instead of filling it all the way, does it lessen the inconsistency any? I use the M4 EPM1-S' with airtac M4 magwell adapter, and if I...

    Extremely innacurate GBB

    Actually, another thing comes to mind on HPA - assuming you're using an adapter, which adapter and what mags? The problem of inaccuracy/inconsistency may only be being exacerbated by the NPAS, stem of the problem may lay elsewhere.
