    Any good recommendations on where to buy 0.3 Bio BB's from chaps?  Just found out next weekend event is BIO only. :(   Looking at all the usual online retailers..just wanted to find out who best to buy from?

    M
    ParcelFarce48 fail again...  BB's for the weekend dispatched on Wednesday, due Friday...still stuck at National Hub on Friday, not even in my county....I'm away all weekend from tomorrow...Guess i'll have to buy some more BB's from a local retailer.  (Bought x3 bags of Valkyrie 0.32 bbs btw)   Pissed... :(

    Absolutely bloody shower, and they're not even a "universal carrier" any more. The only airsoft thing they do unambiguously agree to carry is BBs, see:

    https://www.parcelforce.com/help-and-advice/sending/prohibitions-and-restrictions

    And note carefully the distinction between "air rifles, air guns and air pistols" (which they'll take) and "imitations and antiques; paint-ball or toy guns" which they won't (because why?)

    I know all couriers are equally bad, but at least MyHermes will charge you less for flinging your parcel in a bush or flogging it at auction.

    The company i work for gave up with parcelforce- every parcel was late, so bad feedback from customers.

    Every other courier has been spot on for us!

    I'm in love with my 5.11 SOMS 3.0 Deployment bag, it carries everything I need, plate carrier & chestrig, with tons of room still left in it, all my mags (20) and ammo & gas...and still had unused pockets and room to spare.  Handles everywhere and being wheeled makes life dragging it a breeze.  Also broke in my Lowa GTX Zephyr Mid boots today..my god impressive booties, super grippy and nice ankle support.  X2 best purchases this year, bag & boots. :)

    I like 5.11 and have a range of their clothing and kit items. Always found it hard wearing and good value.

    My mate is a 5.11 whore...and I'm slowly turning into him.  :)

    3rd weekend of Airsoft under the belt...one more to go!  Today was up to me crotch in a stream flanking the enemy...nice and cool on a hot hot day! :)

    Played at my local site yesterday and they had super strict rules in place..and even split the 60 players into two groups of 15 each.  Made for slow boring games. :(   Still had fun wading through streams and getting my sneak on.  Played @ NPF 3 weeks ago.. 150+ players, not restrictions on players in the field, but social distancing was enforced at car park (Not allowed to use safe zone) - Going to a "new" site this weekend and will see what their COVID restrictions will be like.

    Might need to try NPF again, I remember it being good for sniping.

    M
    Just got back from NPF Bassetts Pole..God I ache. :)   Rebuilt G&G ran great..TM SopMod ran great and Bolt M16A4 recoil was insane and lots of fun....

    Best place Ive been to in the West Midlands. Hilly terrain so legs can ache a bit after a 3 month break.

    I still need to try Stormforce. 

    I've been to NPF once at the start of the year, was good for sniping.

    Admitted defeat...I am not a tech.  of to a pro instead.. :)

    G&G...was running @ 34fps, then 260fps something not right with it.  Took it apart, cleaned, regreased, new spring..got up to 300fps, but still running rough.  New parts (Bushings etc ordered but still rough and noticed stripped piston teeth)  So rather than take it all apart again, off it goes to get a proper look at)

    M
    Screw in pistolgrip of rifle rounded off.. Grrr!  Need to figure out how to get it out.  (Tried glue/rubber band)  Hard to dremel as recessed in pistol grip.  :(

    I used Gorilla glue and let it sit for 24hrs...But didnt' work.  I think I may need to get physical and bring some brute force to it.  Good thing I bought a new gun the other week. :)

    Luckily I had to renew car and scooter insurance this week.

    Otherwise I would have bought more stuff.

    I have to admit I must have spent over a grand this week on a new dmr loadout, and the mrs hasn't said a thing, I think it might be a test ha

    Ordered a top from America, hoping to get away with customs charge... Nope, email from Royal Mail. Customs charge will be applied.... Why when I buy from China, i've never paid anything ever in customs charge?

    I think I can count on one hand the times something from the US has come through without a charge.  Always assume there will be a charge with stuff from the US.

    M

    Yep, was hoping this time would be different...lol (Probably charge me same what I paid for the item) :)

    Anyone know where I can get some o-rings for a A&K Mk46/M249 hop unit... Also trying to find a replacement front site as I kinda knocked mine off. :(

    M
    Redwold Airsoft are having 16% off everything...worth a punt on a AEG or will I get taxed to death importing? 

    A
    AK47frizzle
    I mean that 16% off will pretty much get taxed away, if not more. Only buy a full gun from asia if it's at the very least 25% off imo.

    M
    Monkman
    Righto... :)

    M
    Love my TM M4..but today's winner was my G&G MP5 SD6 - This gun just rocked @ West Midlands Airsoft.  So light and nimble, sneaking through dense undergrowth was so easy with my belt kit.  :)

    M
    Just got home from NPF and man...there were a load of HPA guys running drum mags today...All you could hear was Brrt brrt Brrt Brrt...  Why shoot someone once, when you can shoot them 30 times.  :)   Had a good day.

    NPF has become a bit of a sniperfest lately so good to see a change in weapon. I have temporarily stopped playing there as I witnessed a marshall chrono a sniper on 0.2's doing 400 then put 4's through and come out with 400 and wave it through with the comment "it's under 500 with 0.2's so good enough for me". I sent an email after the game day questioning this and didn't get a response.

    I understand a "bit" of joule creep but that's just dangerous. I'm shocked at how the guy got it running so hot though.

    I did think the Chrono was a bit pants...never seen the device they were using..took multiple attempts to get a reading..

    Steveocee

    @Monkman probably as it's primarily a paintball style chrono.

    NPF has so much potential but they need to get some "real" airsofters in there and not just re-purpose the paintball refs who have no interest.

    M
    Man...putting that old G&G mechbox back together was a right pain in the arse..forget how much I hate old Ver 2 boxes.  ICS have the winning ticket with split-gearboxes.  :)   (G&G now working properly again...)

    M
    Sig Sauer M17 - What a pile of poo.  Wouldn't cycle or feed from the magazine.  Stripped it, re-assembled..but still wouldn't work.  It's going back....  :(

    Go for a Marui FNX-45 instead! Modern, brown, and it works.

    We should all feel guilty :P

    Also yeah, go for a TM FNX

    Hmmm.. VFC/UMAREX  Glock19X or the Sig M17....

    After being burnt by the VFC VP9 I would never buy another VFC GBB

    M
    Monkman
    Yes, both are made by VFC..but the Sig version has very tight quality controls i've read.  But read good things about the glock..

    Shot the real 19x this evening.

    It was shit.

    Sig all the way.

    When your waiting on a new rail coming on the slow boat from China....then Camoraids gets stock in similar to what I have coming and is only £25 more expensive.

    Does it come with a free virus though?

    Lost my Dynatec grenade pin on Sunday.  Rushed a bunker, lobbed the nade..confirmed the kills.  Dropped the pin!  Argh...could not find it. (Usually have a lanyard for such things, but forgot it) 1hr later..Marshall walks up to me... Is this yours?  Whoo!!  (Marshall gets a load of free Revision wipes from me...) Explosions continued for the rest of the day. :)
