    @Cr0-Magnon shhhhh, don’t take away my Get Out of Jail Free card ?

    “Eastern but Central”? That sounds like a thing only a Pole would say ?

    You know what they say, you miss every shot you don’t take... I missed anyway ?

    Supporting the local economy is one thing but this was a £45 order and the parts aren't available in The UK. So paying nearly 50% in top is more than a tad frustrating....

    I ordered a set off body pins from out the UK - 12.99 - Customs tried too charge me £8.99 VAT + 8.00 Handling. Imagine Post  Brexit.

    If it was actually protecting UK industry, you could see the point, but we don't make most of this stuff, and couldn't come anywhere near to competing on price even if we did.

    It's just more money to the exchequer at this point.

    @Rogerborg - Doubly frustrating because I realised I'd order the wrong part colour pretty much as soon as I checked-out. E-mailed the seller and they replied that they don't have it in the other colour and dispatched this one almost immediately because I was asking to cancel it.

    Thinking about selling another one or two of my pistols but not sure which to part with out of:

    - Umarex Glock 19X

    - Upgraded TM Glock 17 Gen.4 with CNC aluminium slide

    - WE CT25

    - Action Army AAP-01

    - Upgraded Cybergun Desert Eagle in Silver.

    - Umarex H8R (Gen.2)

    The reason you ask? Literally all of these are unskirmished.

    i'd sell one of the glocks, given one's a tm that should say which.... the rest at least has some variety to them.

    Cr0-Magnon
    Cr0-Magnon
    @rocketdogbert - Oh yeah, definitely not. I'm about £500 deep. Because there aren't enough black Glocks in this world!

    @Adolf Hamster - I concur. I could then put the AAP-01 in the tan Glock case I have....which makes sense in a roundabout way.

    I've got one for sale, £400 with everything you could need to start skirmishing ;)

    Cr0-Magnon
    Cr0-Magnon
    @CJSpalding - Thanks for the offer but I've just checked your ad and it comes with loads of stuff I don't need/want, so will likely stick to buying one new around the £280 mark.

    Thanks @Rogerborg - "Why to buy?" and in this case "combat size" is stuck in my head. What's more annoying, is I'm waiting on one of these to come via seafreight.

    Why not to buy: 12mm thread.

    Not an issue if you're looking for a compact pistol and don't intend to over-compensate for anything.

    @Rogerborg - Errrr.. yeah not an issue for me....I mean the thread thing, not the....nevermind. I do actually enjoy this guys reviews though.

    Try and avoid ordering from evike wherever possible. Nothing inherently wrong with them but with the delivery time and that items always seem to get pulled by customs, it's just rarely financially worth it.

    customs is the big one, it'll take a package 2 days to cross the atlantic followed by 2 week crossing the dover docks

    I recently ordered an EBR front end because...reasons. What actually turned up was two outer barrels, an EBR sightpost and gas block and a standard M14 flash hider. All in bits as opposed to the "fully assembled" of the description and devoid of the EBR Vortex flash hider. Quick online chat with customer service and it was all sorted, replacement sent FOC and was told to keep the bits I'd been sent in error. Thanks to the goods being marked as zero value there was no customs hold up the second time which highlighted just how long they'd hung on to it before!

    I don't think I've ever had anything come from the US that hasn't been molested by customs.  It's pretty much guaranteed.

    AAP-01 came today. At work, so haven't even opened the box but on the outside the most prominent wording is "ACTION ARMY COMPANY (AAC) WAS FOUNDED ON THE YEAR 2010 AND IS CURRENTLY LOCATED IN TAIWAN".....errmmm cool, now I'm...errr..hyped...maybe have a little chat with Tokyo Marui about how to make an airsoft gun box, AAC.

    Looking forward to receiving my AAP-01 tomorrow ?

    @Skara - Annoyingly I've had a million WE Glock mags over the years and sold them all. Only got a couple of TM ones now. Although TBH, I'm not a fan of the extended ones as I don't use my sidearm enough to justify my holster being off balance or it protruding from a mag pouch.

    Cr0-Magnon
    Cr0-Magnon
    Looks like another batch have come in to the country. Crawley Surplus have them and spare mags in stock now too.

    Just saw a KM post/story/whatever on instagram.

    It looks like a skeletonized MP7.

    Never will I defend a Novritsch product again. The slide stop section on my SSP1 shortstroke slide has pretty much completely worn away and is bent after a few garden plinking sessions. The customer service response is to accuse me of trying to force the slide catch through the wrong cutout...something I'm 100% positive I haven't done.

    Cr0-Magnon
    Cr0-Magnon
    Errmmmm SSX with holster, suppressor and several mags, SSP1 with the same plus shortstroke slide, scope with all the trimmings, BB's, a tactical belt...signed poster, 2019 wall calendar, 200ml pot of Novritsch's bath water.

    jesus man, for that kinda money you could have bought a gun that worked!

    I get why you're so frustrated with them!

    Ye I had one of these. They were really cool. However, I saw pot metal seams on mine and was afraid it would crack if I accidentally dropped it.

    Cr0-Magnon
    Cr0-Magnon
    @AK47frizzle - It definitely looks the part and this is the "Silo Spec" one with RA-Tech steel parts and TNT barrel & bucking, so shoots very well too. This won't get skirmished much, if at all as it weighs a ton, the mag is a bit of a pain to load and you need the worlds tiniest allen key to adjust hop. I agree the metal could be better but it feels amazing in the hand, I love the full travel slide and it's never splutters even in fairly cool weather.

    Im thinking of getting the l6 version at some point and running it as a primary because it was pretty damn accurate with the fixed barrel when I still had it.

    I guess the 'rona is to blame but just chased up where a RIF I'd bought was (I placed the order a month ago), only to be told it was on back-order and not with them yet. That's the third time in a row!

    Just started watching Inception. This is going to make me want a Beretta PX4 isn't it...

    EvilMonkee
    PX4 is my go to.  TM one is excellent the WE one is shite

    Cr0-Magnon
    Cr0-Magnon
    @EvilMonkee I used to own the "HK3" one, which was essentially We with trades. Typical WE, slide weighed a ton, it vented like crazy and the paint flaked off everytime you touched it.

    My slide on my TM one cracked last year but that was after 5 or 6 years of being abused.  Managed to get a replacement slide and shes all up and running.

    Always found Bolt Action rifles a bit pointless as all the ones I had were only of average accuracy at best. However I am genuinely excited at the thought of using this that's just come back from Luke @ Negative Airsoft. The accuracy is phenomenal and bolt pull so easy and smooth for something which is kicking out 486fps.

    bolties at 1j is basically airsoft hard mode.

    problem i have with it is you just end up so frustrated at landing a beautiful shot, the target not taking it, and being stuck without the ability to quickly follow up and often not wanting to expose your position to call them out on it.

    which is probably why my bolty can only lift .32's and i have 2 assault guns that can lift .48's......

    The issue I had with running a 1J BASR is the guys I shot at 15-30M ranges cried like little bitches because one was "scared of a sniper that close shooting at them" and the other was convinced I was running 500FPS and demanded.inwas chronod.

    Wasn't worth the hassle so dropped an M150 in and sat an extra 20M back.

    What Adolf said.

    In this country there is this retarded mindset that one bb is not a hit and people need to bleed to call them.

    So most of the times I shoot at people, hit them, they shrug it off and keep playing, until I blast them in the face or where it hurts the most (inner thigh/armpit says hello), but at that point it's not fun anymore. I'd like to play more as a sniper because the overall role is extremely fun (slipping past opponents, realying their positions and movements to my teammates, taking shots to disorient them, you know, what makes it fun) but gets old fast when people just consider you an inferior being.

    WE CT25 - yay or nay? (as a "cute" addition to the collection, I have plenty others which perform well)

    I dunno, the black sits quite nice. Kind of poor mans blueing.

    I mean its based on the colt 25 which im pretty sure predates parkerising

    probably possible to make a facsimile, afaik you can't properly blue aluminium.

    maybe a really dark anodising?
