The use of someone else's pictures when it come selling an item, especially at  that asking price is a major Faux pas on the sellers part.  A simple google reverse image search shows the pictures were taken directly from a 2014 blog post from this web site https://timmmk2.militaryblog.jp/e582128.html 

Has the hallmarks of a potential scammer.

I called out the G&G CM18 on the FPS. I found no matches on Google or Tineye reverse image search but I'm still suspicious.
 
The marketing blurb looks manually typed out and badly done. Unless G&G made a horrible typo of its own, I would assume the gearbox has 8mm bearings, not 8mm ball bearings.
 
There are a lot of decent upgrades in that pic yet he hasn't specified them to try and make the listing look more attractive. For the price, it looks far too good to be true to me.

This AD pictures are directly taken from another sales post from 28-08-2022 located in Bruges, Belgium from airsoftbazzaar.

These pictures are also from another AD from the USA similar user name but rif located in Michigan City, Indiana according to the AD  https://www.airsoftsociety.com/threads/scar-l-from-tokyo-marui-electric.167975/ 

The seller has in fact posted all of the RIF they are selling here on the US airsoft society forum  
This is their public account for that forum https://www.airsoftsociety.com/search/22252/ so they appear to be live in Portrush in the  United Kingdom and also living in Michigan City, Indiana.  

If anyone has an active account for the Airsoft society forum if you could give them a heads up as well that would be greatly appreciated.

Agressive and fearful society with terrible mental health care? For sure. A horrible education system? Absolutely. However just stating that our system is well and truly messed up doesn’t do much for us is ordinary Joes. The question is, what should ordinary people do to combat both the symptoms of the problem, and the roots.
 
I’m curious to hear why you think my view is simplistic.

At first I thought it was some sort of variant of Afghan national army uniform, but the larger digital squares I think it maybe Project Honor Camouflage? 

If your just swapping the original LCT handguard for the LCT AIMS one, then you should not really need any special tools apart from something to flip up the latch for the front handguard retainer. Most LCT AK part are quite interchangeable since they are airsoft spec not real steel spec.      

You remove the rear sight and the front portion on the new rail top receiver acts as attachment point, by take the place of the rear sight. I believe that style of top receiver cover is based on the  AK dog leg rail, an American design I think but don't quote me on it.
 
So you could look on YouTube possibly for a better visual guide on how to install it.   

How many WE Hi Power you see at a site not many. what you see at sites are M4s, AKs Hi Capas and Glocks. People always say why don't such and such make obscure gun I like they would sell loads. the answer is they wouldn't.  

The last piece of the puzzle now arrived. 
A custom made full steel accurate L7A2 barrel to finish off my steel L7A2 gpmg. 
 
Just need to get it engraved with the original Enfield markings, and to get it altered to take the original inokatsu hop unit. 
 
Now going to convert my old barrel into the newer type HK L7 barrel, and to use to replicate blank use too. 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Cheers mate! I have managed to glue the cracks and used a clamp to keep pressure on the stock while it dried (my missus bought some superglue that was like water so it soaked into the wood perfectly)but i am still going to find a new stock and handguard set...as i imagine it will fail at some point! Although it fits alot tighter now which i am happy with as it had slight left and right movement!!  

I run an lct rpk,  standard v3 gear box and AK hop unit so spare and modification parts are very easy to get hold of.  Feed from a verity of mag from 2000rd auto drum mags to 30rd low cap  mag, so it has some cross mag compatibility with my other guns.    
 
Full steel and laminated wood, has the look of an lmg but nice and relatively light weight to be carried/ used all day. Has a massive battery space in the stock I can fit a 7.4v 2200 mAH lipo. Only internal mods I have done is a pro win AK hop unit and a  Modify flat hop up bucking for 25.g and above.  
 
I have added a lct rpk side mount to replicate the RPKN so I can use optics. The ppn3  nvg scope was to show that if the side mount can support it weight,  any other optic is not a problem.   

Discord groups are saying 400 at the moment. But looking at other opinions. 
 
I already have two 7.62 AKs, no need for another. I use my AMD65 for Tacticool! 

Hi I would like to sell my Type 56-2 plus 4 mags. Message me if your interested 

While normally you would be correct. However currently wgc shop only have the King arms GP-30 for pre-order  https://www.wgcshop.com/products/king-arms-gp-30-grenade-launcher-for-ak-series 
 
So seeing as wgc don't have it for sale at the moment and with no definite date of restock and combined with my preliminary search to see the current going rate of these gp-30 and with many place showing out of stock. 
 
I believed the higher price was justified, due to the condition it in, and it already being here in the UK so no international postage fees or possibilities of import and custom payments, which you have to pay if ordering from wgc or any other shop for that matter outside of the UK. Combined with the fact that currently no UK shops have the KA gp-30 in stock. I believe I am reasonable in my asking pricing, I am of course open to  pricing suggestion and negation. In the end the market will decided and I will adjust prices accordingly.  

That one of the good things about this forum, we can have civil discourse (for the most part).  
 
    

Interesting list just one observation, despite the name Taiwan gun, is actually located in Poland, not Asia. https://www.taiwangun.com/en/contact.html
 
Just to ask how many of these shops have you used personally, any particular ones you would recommend?
 

Something to consider is Partizan-M camo, it is very good for UK woodland in my opinion, and its reversible so you get summer and autumn camo in one suit.

Well…. It’s this time again…
 
So, some of you may have seen my previous posts in the past about the alpha and beta test. Well, now, here is another one: the MOSQUITO open beta test.
 

 

 
This is the third iteration of the MOSQUITO which is an open-source, modular, 3D-printed airsoft kit designed to take a V3 gearbox and hop-up chamber from a TM-based AK platform and turn them into a pure menacing machine on the airsoft battlefield, being super compact and lightweight with the same fire power as any other gun. Capable as both a primary weapon or as a sidearm backup. Able to be HPA'd as well.
 
The first iteration was very basic and did what was necessary:
 

 
The second iteration refined a lot of the functions and aesthetics:
 

 
This third iteration completely overhauls the design and enhances the printability of the model: 
 

 
It now has beautiful and durable textured sides on many of the parts, a reworked and more reliable magazine catch, a completely reworked and ingenious battery grip solution, and many more changes. But primarily, the MOSQUITO is now open-source meaning you can make one too! It has been designed to be as easy to print as possible.
 
The main features of the MOSQUITO:
 
Compact - measuring only 590mm unfolded and 383mm folded Lightweight - weighing only around 1.5kg when fully assembled (AEG form) Modular - easily swap parts out with a few pins (more to come in the future) Clever battery grip solution - a small gun doesn't have to mean a small battery Never fear for spare parts - open-source allows parts to be forever available  
What will you need to make it work?
 
V3 gearbox (TM AK based) Complete AK hop-up chamber (inc barrel and bucking) Stick type battery (max length 112mm, width 21mm, height 19mm) MP5 magazines (CYMA for best compatability)  
If you are after a tiny platform that packs a huge punch, this is it.
 
 
Woah there, single file please.
 
 
So, how to participate in the open beta test?
 
You can purchase a kit from me which includes everything (send me a message). Or, if you have your own 3D printer, you can download the 3D files and have a go at printing it yourself. Or, you can ask someone to make one for you. If you decide to make one yourself, you will have to source the screws and components yourself. Most are common parts and can be found in online stores. I have made a guide for both 3D printing and assembly instructions which list the parts required and they can be found at the bottom of the both Printables and GitHub pages.
 
If you decide to partake in the test, I'd highly consider joining the HYBRID AIRSOFT discord server to provide feedback and discuss the kit. The test will run from now to some time in June. No final date yet.

This exact question is doing the rounds of RU/Combloc Airsoft social media group. 
 
In my opinion it's down to the player, but if you have RU patches and unit Identifiers maybe best to remove them for now.  Unfortunately I only have RU kit nothing from a particular unit and no digital flora but still distinctly Russian. So I may have to adjust and see.
 
 
 
What's also interesting is that when the conflict in Ukraine, first started with Russian involvement in the break away regions in East Ukraine and Crimea.
 
I noticed a lot of people wanting to do the little green men/ polite people kit and a lot of Shops around the world were happy to stock & sell the kit, even though the RU forces were involved where some would say they should not be. There also RU involvement in Syria another interesting kit that a number people wanted even though the Russians were supporting President Bashar al-Assad. 
 
So the question is has Russian kit always been a bit of a mine field for reenacting/Airsoft?

Have/did Border force seized and confiscated your parcel, then send the police round to have a chat, or did they send you a letter saying your goods had been seized, then send the police round?
 
Also will your item be destroyed?

Someone shared this on my springer page. Thought some of you may like to see it. I want a fortune teller.

The Cyma universal AK side optic mount fits and sit quite low, but if you already have one and have tried it and it not to your liking, there is the ZenitCo B-13N for the SVD that is a low profile optic mount . However I am not sure if there a airsoft reproduction version out.

The only other svd low optic mount I know of is the F.A.B. SVDM, NPZ Alfa and the Patriot M47 siderail.

Did some modifying over the Christmas break. Added a weathered GHK akm wood  kit bought off a member on these forums, to my E&L AKM and also added a side rail optic mount to my 7.62X39mm LCT RPK to make it somewhat resemble a RPKN
