    The thing that strikes me is that all this incompetence costs them money to deal with. They'd be more profitable if they were just a little less awful.

    Well just had all the upgrade bits turn up from Milspec solutions...

    Just need the GBBR...which is currently sitting in a secure facility pending instructions and agreement.

    yay...so maybe 2months from now..if it does not get lost or destroyed by Border Force.

    My MOD24 took around 9 weeks. Gunfire are in the process of changing courier for the UK so fingers crossed no more UPS

    Why not transfer the WE parts to the WELL see if that’ll fix it ?

    Stock pivot joint metal is sheered and broken away from the body..I've tried epoxy welding it to turn it into a fixed stock..but not enough metal left and plastic to metal expoying is no good...feels strong, but I pulled on it and sheered away. :(   Plus the lower receiver as a crack in the frame which I didn't see until pulling it apart and the whole upper/lower receivers wobble..and rivets wiggle as well... It's a £130 Gbbr and it's very very old.  Better to keep it as a wall hanger I think. (Cost me nothing....mate gave it to me)

    I have to say.. HPA saved my game day today.  Chrono this site was using was throwing up big numbers..  My G&G is set to 330fps and on their chrono throwing up 360+fps.  (My chrono shows it to be 330fps)  They wouldn't allow me to use it.....as I had recently re-did the paint scheme.  So switched to my MTW and stood there changing the fps on it till they were happy...had to take it down to 80ps!! to get under their chrono limit.

    First & Only - The Jungle.  - Basic site, but was a fun day and the marshals (other than the dodgy chrono) were on top form.  Not once did I see anyone not taking their hits and marshals always seemed to be in the right place most of the time.  Just a bummer at the start and a joke when they brought another chrono out after lunch... Next time I will insist on x2 chrono check or use my own....if I go back, yesterday was a taster game to see what it's like.  I usually go solo and test different places when my team mates can't play.  :)

    You would think that after a few people questioned the readings of the first chrono, they would check with their other one...

    I think at the time as we were out in a open field...the sunlight was too strong to see the readout...but hey ho, it's there rules...  Just a shame I couldn't run my G&G after I gave it a fresh paint job the night before. :)

    M
    Good thing I didn't buy another gun online last night.. Found some issues on the car during service today, which kinda needs to be fixed to stop me from having a horrible fiery death. :)

    M
    High Pressure Airsoft have just had a restock of some "Wolverine" bits & bobs...and probably other things I've not looked at.  (Picked up a few mags and another bottle of 2500 0.4 to feed the MTW)

    I see a lot of people wearing Delta Mikes and not having them over their face.... My mate was one of them..constantly had it around his neck, sometimes wearing it, sometimes not...he got hit when he forgot to move it up.. lesson learned..hahahaha.

    I tried the Deltamike, found I could breathe better with my Onetigris..but it's a quality item the Deltamike.

    Guys avoid Specna Arms BB's.. Bought bottles of 0.3 for the lads to try and caused us all grief.. Won't feed on midcaps (MTW/krytacs/ICS & G&G)  Will feed on highcaps & drums, but so much flaking and particles..BB's are utter shit!!  We all switched to our standards (Valkrie/Nuprol/ASG etc..) and no issues at all.  Specna utter wank...

    Ah! That was you on Facebook lol. BBs always surprise me, we spend a lot on out kit and guns but then shop for the best deal on the ammo. Go Geoff's (O&T use code camman5 for 5% off) or Valkyrie and you won't go far wrong.

    Valkrie is a brand i've been using mainly recently.. decided to give the Specna's a go as they were new to the shop...haha,  what a mistake!

    The time you go to x2 different dive shops to get the big tank filled (hpa) and find that issues @ both places means they can't fill the tank.  lol.. Not my day today..

    And that is exactly what keeps me from dropping money on a HPA setup

    lol..seems that way today.. Lucky I bought a pump and over last few days..did the x2 bottles manually, so I can play tomorrow... Hopefully get my big tank sorted for the following weekend. :)

    Drakelow Tunnels is no more (First & Only The Outpost) - Landowner has leased whole site to another party..no more Airsoft there anymore, effective immediately. :(

    Nice thought but some of the sites that are rented out by landowners are worth more as building land as in the case of combat south a few months ago and the landowners are seeing mega money being offered by developers.☹

    Well was just about to spend over £1k today on a HPA setup with High Pressure Airsoft..but their website isn't working and they are not responding to messages or phone calls...oh well, least I ain't in a rush now seeing as we can't play for next 2 months...

    HPA club is pronounced "eee-leeeeet" club

    First rule of HPA club - look down on AEG peasants

    Second rule of HPA club - laugh at gas peasant inconsistencies

    Wolverine MTW.. :)

    I will be looking to part ways with some of my AEG's now I think..but keeping my recoils..as they is too much fun.

    M
    Great...just wanted to see where my items were from China, paid extra £20 for air shipping seeing as import via shipping are mega delayed due to ongoing issues with docks..So wondered where my stuff is..checked online and everything that was "instock" is acutally "out of stock"...well shit me.   Have requested cancel & refund.  Lets hope the Chinese give me the refund.  Ordered from AirsoftTiger111HK.com  (Ordered some bits for my TM SopMod & gas mags for my WE Ak project & another tracer/suppressor.)

    Unfortunately mate you’ve just described the biggest complaint EVERYONE has about buying from HK  , there unreliability when it comes to stock status .

    i like most others I’d wager have many many times been in exactly the same position as your in over the years but unfortunately it’s the nature of the beast , if you don’t want to pay stupid prices or you want hard to find parts or items then it is what it is .?

    M
    Monkman
    Yep, I guess their internet person was slacking on keeping their website up to date.  At least they updated my order, but only after I checked...  :)

    Well will have to source from UK retailers and pay quite a substantial markup in price I guess..that's if I really want to get the same items now.  I can wait, not needed urgently..  Maybe Jan sales might reveal some winners?

    Car failed MOT, so new HPA on hold whilst I get cracked Alloy sorted. :(

    Not eligible for BMW to do a runout test?  The 19s on mine are notorious for cracking.  It's so bad Watchdog did a feature on it.  I'm sure there was a class action lawsuit in the US but over here BMW pretty much tell you to get fucked.

    I got aftermarket alloys on mine...when I got the car it had 20" AC SCHNITZERS on it, but were already cracked and had them re-welded, then cracks on welds again..so replaced them with new 20" rims which cost me a grand, but the 20" Schnitzers are 5k. (Guess the 1st owner wanted them)  Only went down 20" again as all the rubber was still newish and didn't wanna spend a further £700 on new tyres.

    Will see next week what the specialist says... It's only the front & rear o/s alloys that are damaged. (Bloody potholes)

    Next car will be a 4x4 of some sorts I think....sod having fast motor's with big wheels..to damn expensive.  :)

    Yeah.  I can see 20s absolutely giving you trouble with our crap roads.

    M249/Mk46 users.. FYI.  Just bought a boxmag from BULLGEAR, which is their upgraded one with metal internals.  I was holding off as it shows you have to wire the mag into the mechbox..but if you drop them a message on FB, they will send you the "new" version with a battery inside it. :)  (My 4th shitty plastic chienese piece of expensive crap box mag died on Sunday..no more messing around)  £138 inc shipping for the Bullgear box mag. (And A&K plastic box mags retail for £99.99..lol)

    Ok, x3 guns with Luke @ Negative Airsoft.  I'm starting to think about HPA, as I'm getting fed up with broken AEG's.  Might sell the lot (Apart from my TM Recoil) and go for a Wolverine MTW...

    @proffrinkwhich is why I prefer using Marui recoils... The haptic feedback from the recoil is just fun... and when the bolt stop goes during a bb-fight you just shout fcuk loudly slap in a mag and hit the bolt stop and there you go.... 

    I will consider a MWS too, but am waiting for the Mk18 to be released whenever that will be.....

    I have been thinking long and hard about HPA. Its the only platform I have not tried and there no guns I want, so I think my next airsoft investment will be a HPA system and get into that side of it. I see more and more HPA users on sites, it is certainly a growing trend and I think it could end up the norm at some point.

    I would be keen to try some tapped mags and a tippman before I truely went down any other route but could happily convert my current guns over.

    Although if i ever run a hicappa with a tapped M4 hicap you all have persmission to NEVER talk to me again.
