    Airsoft Shopping in the UK Vs The World

    in Places to Buy

    Posted

    I'd say I sent about 50/50.

     

    I'll but tactical gear, clothes, consumables etc from the UK and the occasional RIF if its a reasonable price.

     

    The main problem with the UK retailers is they'll order in guns which are 350+ then charge silly amounts for a downgrade so it can be used here. If I'm buying a RIF here, I want to be able to take it out the box and use it here, I wouldn't buy a car, to find out I have to pay extra for it have wheels.

     

    I agree there are some very good retailers in the UK, who are helpful and polite. These are the retailers I'll use when It makes financial sense to. But some of the retailers here are shockingly bad,massively over priced and in some cases rude.

    What kind of jobs do you guys have to support airsoft? :)

    In regards to uni, I had a lot of friends who went to uni for years got all the grades and have since remained jobless.

     

    I personally didn't go to university and started working my ass off in retail for an emerging company, got promoted through the ranks and eventually ended up working for American Express, dealing with their suppliers and contracts.......I'm 25.

     

    University is good if you are studying a worthwhile subject and have work experience.

     

    Getting a trade is definitely worth doing though. It's work that's always required.

    Just an update on my Tippmans for those of you who are interested, I took my shorter one out yesterday, had the outer cut down to its only got about 200mm inner barrel.

     

    I had it running on HPA, 28's, G&G greeb bucking and a TK twist barrel. It was really good to use, the range was impression for such a short barrel :)

    I have one of these in mint condition, black in colour, 209 primer base.

    Will also include a QD mount and a load of primer rounds.

    Just wondering on how much one of these is likely to fetch? cheapest I can see them in the UK is £80.

    Cheers

    Appraisal on DTW

    in Guns, Gear & Loadouts

    Posted

    Hi all,

     

    After purchasing a Tippmann m4, I'm thinking of buying another one as a project gun. So I'm potentially looking to sell my DTW and parts.

     

    Any ideas on pricing would be greatly appreciated.

     

    Here is my beloved DTW. Had it about a year or so now and it has always been my go to gun. Never had any issue with it and its never missed a beat.

     

    Internals:

    • Full etiny setup up, can be set to full auto or burst fire. (wired to deans)
    • Has a systema 2012 barrel and hop
    • Gear box was serviced about 7 months ago when the etiny was installed.

     

    Externals/Accesories:

    • Madbull Noveses NSR rail (not cheap ACM clone) these are £100 new
    • Front and rear MBUIS
    • AFG/Silencer
    • Sling plate
    • Fight Club Custom chrome outer barrel (will include all pieces for varying lengths)
    • Fab defence Style stock, will also include original crane stock.
    • 3 x Vanaras Mags, 1 DTW mag
    • 3 x 11.1v Lipos

     

    I have another DTW upper which comes with an m16 length outer barrel and a DD style RIS, inner barrel goes into the QD silencer. This comes with a M100 cylinder and a systema 2012 barrel with MDD V2 hop unit and a Spare DTW Lower.

    Appraisal on celcius

    in Guns, Gear & Loadouts

    Posted

    Hi Guys,

     

    I'm considering parting with my much loved Celcius, I picked it up a while ago now, but it's always served me well and had a service back in June from a well know retailer.

     

    The gun comes with the below:

    Standard CTW,m reformation barrel.

    MDD version 2 Hop Unit

    Etiny electronics (single and 3rd burst)

    Wired to Deans.

    FPS is around 320

    Foliage green Miad grip

    Standard RIS grip, ok condition.

     

    Potentiall accessories:

    A couple of Vanaras Mags

    11.1v Lipo Battery

    ACM Aimpoint T1 sight

    ACM Red dot ACOG sight

    DBOYS M203 (includes shell which needs to be cleaned and put back together)

     

    All in all the gun is a very good performer, I've enjoyed using it a lot, I already have another TW and this just doesn't get the use, especially as I've just picked up another sniper too!

     

    Any idea on price would be appreciated, as a package or just the gun. If I like the price it will be up for sale soon ,otherwise I'll keep it as a backup.

     

    Cheers Guys

    SDIK for L96

    in Accessory Reviews

    Sniper Drop In Kit – SDIK

    So I recently purchased this kit for my L96 clone (MB08), with the hope of having a gas sniper that could be used all year round and I could adjust the FPS depending on the site I’m at.

    Parts I ordered were:
    SDIK for L96 (well MB01,MB08 etc)
    Regulator with gauge
    CO2 Adapter

     

    First Impressions:
    I ordered the SDIK for the L96, alongside the regulator and co2 adapter (takes non threaded 12g capsules). It’s worth noting that you have to buy these bits separately and the regulator comes in two versions, one is a standard screw down regulator and the other comes with a pressure gauge.

    All of the items came neatly presented in boxes and were packed securely. Nothing fancy here just plain boxes with the manufactures logo etc. Delivery tool about a week.

    All of the parts looked and felt really good, it would easy to see that time had been spent making sure all the parts were smooth, had a good finish and sealed correctly.

     

    Installation:

    Installation for me was a bit more difficult than it needed to be, mainly because I had some annoying pot metal screws which rounded on the rifle. However, that being said the installation itself was easy:

    1) Take the bolt out and then take the innards out
    2) Remove the trigger section from the upper receiver.
    3) Feed the new spring guide into the cylinder and out the bottom.
    4) Put in the new piston, spring and screw on the new cylinder head.
    5) Feed the hose through the trigger unit where the spring guide stopper would of been (remove if you haven’t already).
    6)Put the trigger unit back into the receiver, then you have a metal tube which you need to slide all the way down the hose and into the slot for the spring guide stopper, push it in as far as you can.
    7) You get a small rubber o ring stopper, which needs to also be put all the way down the hose right up until the trigger unit, make sure it’s a tight fit. (be aware this only seems to go on one way and you won’t get it back off without splitting the hose).
    8) Unscrew the not on the regulator where the hose goes and put the hose on with the bolt being tightened over it, then simply attached your HPA tank or in my case the CO2 adapter.

    To increase the pressure screw down on the top of the regulator and to reduce pressure, unscrew the top. It took me about 10 minutes and numerous baffled looks to realise, that you have to have the gun cocked with the bolt in the back position to change the output pressure.

     

    Performance:

    The bit you’ve all been waiting for, it’s pretty damn awesome!

    FPS can be alter from around 310 – 600+, depending on your hop and barrel set up. Consistency seems pretty good, I haven’t got a fully working Chrono at the moment and it’s a bit his and miss, but I’d say maybe 5FPS variance.

    Shooting the gun is noticeably louder with a nice thwack sound, the bolt pull is really short and easy. In regards to how well it shoots, I just have some DIY mods in my rifle and a modified hop arm, but the barrel is standard and was working well before. For some reason this gun seems to drive these bb’s out dead straight even on heavier ammo, I’ m guessing this is do with increased airflow as the cylinder head opening is quite wide.

     

    Overall Verdict:

    I’m really impressed with this product, it’s easy to use, the results are good, it isn’t hugely expensive when you consider the cost of the upgrade parts needed to get a spring rifle shooting 500fps.

     

    Pros:

    Easy to install.
    Good consistency.
    Increased airflow seems to help with heavier ammo.
    Reduces the wear on internal parts as its gas driven.
    Not too expensive, in relation to getting the same performance out of a spring rifle.
    Adjustable FPS.
    Easy to reload, just unscrew the CO2 adapter and pop in another CO2 cartridge.
    Replacement parts are cheap.

     

    Cons:

    Maybe some instructions, it’s quite easy but they would be useful and save a bit of time.
    The plug/stopper only goes on one way, so there’s a good chance you could damage the hose if you install it wrong.

     

    If you want to know anymore about this item or my set up in general let me know. If I don't reply on here, I'm more active on another forum under the same name.

     

    I'll add a picture of my rifle with this setup when i get home, but for now there are some pics from the retailer :)
