    Anyone need a GBBR? I'm thinking £300 posted seems fair.

    @alxndrhll - Not fishing, think of me as more of a Pied Piper figure!

    @Rogerborg - You don't have a licence? No problem, just promise not to take it to any of the posh supermarkets.

    @strykerles - For an extra £150 I'll include a bottle of 0.12g bulldog BB's and half a can of Calor gas.

    Can you clarify if Sainsbury is a posh supermarket, or does it just keep the scum out of Waitrose?

    Gonna wear my (just don't give) AFUK hat tomorrow. If anyone asks me my username, I'm going to tell them it's @Rogerborg and act like an arsehole all day.

    @Shamal - Damn, hadn't thought about that. I don't even have a sporran to keep my BB's in. I would have said I was you but I don't have enough Dad jokes in my repertoire for it to believable ?

    After the vile vitriolic attacks these magnificent creations have suffered today, it's with a heavy heart I feel the need to post this....

    Just wish the P-09 was Battleship Grey like the Scorpion. I do very much like both of these for form and function though.

    Nice if they matched, but they both look bloody good.  The tan pistol has really clean lines.

    Cr0-Magnon
    Cr0-Magnon
    Haha yeah, just me being fussy but that's what I'm talking about -the pistol isn't tan, it's "urban grey"

    Can anybody recommend a site in the South East with walk-on spots this weekend?

    Cheers. Will check it out. By walk-on I meant not a rental.

    @Cr0-Magnon figured as much. Sites have been fully booked up very quickly since the heatwave started. Hit us up if you end up going to Absolute. 5AM start for me to get to Al's for 7AM!

    Cr0-Magnon
    Cr0-Magnon
    @Asomodai - That's very much appreciated. Yeah my local site when from "just turn up" a few weeks ago to fully booked last night.

    Your custom/upgraded pistol isn't worth nearly as much as you think...

    @MistakenMexican - I know this more than most. I often see people trying to sell custom Hi Capa's for £500 or more and think "if I was going to sink that much in to one, I'd just go to Mike Cripps"....for all I know a private seller has built one through trial and error and not feeling 100% warm and toasty about the end result.

    Indeed, I've had to swallow a bit pill recently. 

    I've got a bunch of rare pistols that just wont sell for the 70% formula... and it's not because people don't want them or they don't work... it's because people don't have £400 lying around to buy a second hand pistol.

    I always upgrade all my pistols to shoot as well as I can make them, but I tend to use them a lot because bolt actions and MEDs. It's totally worth it for me to spend £250 on a TM pistol with all the bells and whistles because I need it to perform.

    So it's definitely worth a lot to me, however selling them second hand... I'd 100% agree. Having upgraded all my pistols, I know it really isn't that expensive to make them shoot well with all the things :P

    (97mm) ZCI or Marui inner barrel for my G19X? I already have both but the colour of the Marui barrel goes with the tan/bronze scheme better.

    Sounds like you've answered your own question there...

    So this is what about £600 in a Glock build gets you. Which I don't feel great about but hey, kinda past the point of no return, so just gonna have fun with it.

    Jeez, some of the advice people give out on FB, talk about blind leading the blind. People giving out information as gospel when they've only been to a handful of games.

    it is true, time served on it's own isn't applicable in all situations.

    you can spend 20 years playing but still have never worked on one of your guns.

    Funnily enuff hamster ?  that’s basically me ! Been playing over 20 yrs now but I never work on the gearboxes of my guns as I’m a total Neanderthal when it comes to that kind of tech work . Back in the early days I tried to(sat down in front of the PC mecbox playing) and absolutely failed to get anywhere ! I can diagnose problems no sweat , can even tell you how to fix it BUT if I try to actually do it my self ? Cue implosion of gearbox !

    @ak2m4 - Yeah, about & £325 plus the strong possibility of customs & duty etc. Think I'll just hold tight until more stock hits our shores.

    @Cr0-Magnon crwairsoft in HK another option I believe, but yeah with all the turmoil maybe best to wait.

    That's the problem with Asian retailers, you think it's a bargain and then they sting you on the shipping cost at checkout....

    Enter a promo code...

    are they taking the fucking piss or something

    you would need like a 95% discount code FFS

    $10,410.99 x 0.95 or 5% of original BS price = $520:55

    (a bit more reasonable - ish)

    Yeah best of luck finding the 95% discount code

    Fuck me you could go First Class & collect it in person

    & still have change to spend on Wu-Flu hookers

    @Sitting Duck 3 weeks in a quarantine hotel currently, now if they allowed the hookers then maybe not so bad ?

    Sitting Duck
    @ak2m4 thing I wonder about...

    when you get off the plane and have to stay in a hotel to quarantine...

    Doesn't the cabin crew also have to quarantine too ???

    After all they have been on the same aircraft with a plane full of lepers all breathing the same air & had to stay over in the place you flew back from on a long haul flight ???

    Ahhh - but they are vaccinated most likely...

    But you can still catch & infect others even after vaccination, hence still wear masks & social distance etc... so are the cabin crew also entering quarantine too ???

    Besides, I would be flying First Class with Charlie Sheen & Hunter Biden so us lot up the front are exempt from all those lepers in economy class, plus all the hookers had the vaccine...

    (even though it looked they was shooting up heroin & smoking crack)

    @Sitting Duck - Maaaatee...you're not going to get me down - this one has a metal handguard! I didn't even realise, thought it was just UK mark-up bringing the price to £150 but nahhhh...you get cold hard steel (Chinesium) for the extra £35 too!

    Blimey grab a few more then...






    just kidding btw...

    they have another strain of COVID...

    https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/feb/15/32-cases-of-latest-covid-variant-of-concern-found-in-uk

    & is followed by Brenda clip

    I just thought of you & your affection to DE HB's - she might react in a similar way

    that aside - completely understand buying something you really like more than once (or twice etc...)

    But people like Brenda might be a little taken back to find you bought ANOTHER ONE...

    @Sitting Duck - Haha, yeah all good fun. I have high-end guns in my collection but these are compact, have great features and are cheap. Perfect for my little cousin-in-law who always seems to cake my RIF's in mud!

    I'm not going list my obsessive list of dupes...

    but I see nothing wrong with a backup of same gun you like

    (or two, or *insert insane figure*)

    if you killed the mosfet then go Perun v2 optical

    from Airsoft World...

    https://www.airsoftworld.net/perun-v2-optical-drop-in-programmable-mosfet-rear-wired.html

    use code: AWFF1102312012 to get 5% or £3 off = £57

    NB: you will need to install a safety arm

    as the DE doesn't have one on safe mode

    bit of agro - but more features & stuff

    or just keep as spare I guess

    Luke at NA was testing out a prototype Perun optical trigger unit

    kinda an optical G&G ETU switch unit replacement

    as an option when the G&G shits the bed or other guns even

    Perun are upping their game with work in progress

    plus good stuff already on offer = cost effective GATE alternatives

    Cr0-Magnon
    @ak2m4 - Yeah, also 6 orders from you for ZCI bits haha. Annoyingly I seem to have lost the plastic chamber and only ordered spare parts for it from you. Although the stock ones on these are rotary anyway.

    Cr0-Magnon
    "Patiently" waiting for the CYMA Platinum from the latest Negative Airsoft video to come back to me. With upgrades I'm in it for less than a stock Scorpion Evo and Luke assures me this is vastly superior!

    Shame his video on my BOLT & ICS got corrupted as he said the ICS was a total bitch to work on and would've been a good vid...  You don't see many ICS guns on his channel.  Your CYMA does look the nuts mate.. :)    Will be sending him my Mk46 A&K at some point.

    @Monkman - That's true actually and I am curious about the split gearboxes. Nearly picked up one of their latest MP5's recently.

    Cr0-Magnon
    Unprotected, not even once! Did a quick chrono yesterday, with a cardboard box filled with packaging material and even a towel as the backstop. One of the shots ricocheted and smacked me right at the bottom of the brow bone leaving a sore welt. It goes without saying had I been positioned even a CM to the left, that could have been a lot worse!

    @Steveocee Having spare eyepro is a must. I keep one of mine with the BBs and gas as a reminder to put it on before shooting and another set is strapped to my plate carrier lol

    Cr0-Magnon
    Cr0-Magnon
    @Steveocee - A disappointing 315, when it had been 340 with the previous setup!

    @Callsign.Raptor_ - I have two pairs sat by the chrono. As a child I had a bike nicked while the chain was wrapped around the seat...I was reminded of the senselessness of that approach yeaterday.

    I keep at least one set by the table saw, one by my dremel station, one in my airsoft area, and one by the lathe/milling machines. A BB to the eye sucks. A metal shaving is worse...

    Cr0-Magnon
    Buy Cheap, Buy twice? This is the CYMA Platinum edition M4 I had delivered yesterday. Not entirely impressed with the externals (a few different areas quite wobnly/flappy). The worst offender is the suppressor moves around off centre to the barrel very easily and the inner barrel is even chipped on the front. Saying that the double Eagle seems to be far better put together and was half the price!

    @ak2m4 - Parts arrived today and couldn't have been simpler to install. All I can say is it feeds well. Excited to see how it performs with 60 degree maple leaf bucking and omega nub. The stock setup it was a bit lack luster on 0.28g's but with it getting dark so early now I may have to wait for the weekend.

    Cr0-Magnon
    Just got the news that someone I played with on Saturday has tested positive for the 'rona. Hoping it was someone from the other team (and they hadn't coughed on their BB's).
