thanks for all the replays i didn't even know you could clean the barrel ? I think I have a lot to learn

After my first skirmish with my own gun ,King arms L1A1 is there any general maintenance i need to do . any moving parts that need oil ect ?

Have noticed a few ww2 & Vietnam groups and thought there maybe one with the era I do But as you say it doesn't really matter I just enjoyed the whole experience and already planning my next skirmish there seems to be quite a few near me so I think I will try a few out . and yes Baz JJ i still have a secret hanker i cannot see me ever ditching re-enactment but the cost of blank ammo £60 for 100 rounds I see Airsoft as a better alternative

Got my first real taste of Airsoft this weekend and yep i loved it , i have been doing ww2 re-enactment for the last 8 years and never really thought about Airsoft , I wanted a change from ww2 and wanted to do something a little more modern so brought myself a King Arms L1A1 so i could re-enact the British Army in the 80s and then thought well i might as well have a go at Airsoft as i have the weapon . To be honest i was expecting a few strange looks turning up in 80s gear but I was very welcomed by all and had some very nice comments . Being ex Cadet / TA and doing ww2 battle re-enactments i am pretty much at home on the battle field but not so hot on basic airsoft stuff , game rules . looking after your weapon and all the gadgets you can get So really i would like to say hi to every body and my first question is there a group that do British army 70s - early 90s that i could join in with . see you down my sights at some point in the future.
