Can certainly appreciate the technicality of the work that went in to the printed parts but f**k me sideways and call me Florence that has to be the most fugly gun it has EVER been my misfortune to see !? Think I need to go wash my eyes out with neat shampoo ! ?

Yup it does , I had all three at one time . ?

Wash your mouth out with a bar of soap ? ! Real men don’t have willpower and four thought , real men have the tensile strength of a kitkat left in the sun all day and buckle the instant they see something shiny ! ???

See that wasn’t hard , and now from these 4 lines of text you’ve risen high like a soaring duck in to the minuscule number of group members who actually know what their talking about . ? AND not talking a load of old bollox like the rest of us ! ? cheers bud .?

You may be old enough to know better , but you are NEVER too old to care less ! ?

Apology happily accepted , it did even after re-reading in the soggy light of day come across as a ‘wee bit’ sanctimonious hence the tirade back . Also as you’ve said I also stand by my opinion on the subject , I would love to support the whole of the U.K. airsoft retailers community BUT you can only be let down and pissed upon so many times before you do say “fuck it my moneys going elsewhere” .

No not angry just fed up of sanctimonious people passing judgment on me .

Unfortunately NOT everyone is so blessedly lucky like you and has a shop on their doorstep , there are no shops in South Wales at all , the nearest shop to me is over a 3hrs drive and when I did go there it turned out to be a piss poor one at that(and to really put the cherry on top the thing I went for and had been told was in stock wasn’t) .I do buy most of my guns in the U.K. I’m not that naive ! but if it’s not in stock anywhere over here am I expected to go without what I want because no one in the U.K. has it ? Yea right ! We’re not just talking about a ‘couple of coins’ ! we’re talking substantial differences in price , I’m sorry but if I can get a box of a particular type of mag from HK for £42 posted and the same one in the U.K. is £67+P&P and that’s if it’s even in stock , well I’m sorry but you can stuff the poor little U.K. retailers I’m not spending £25+ extra to fly the flag . And when one of the supposedly ‘top 3’ retailers in the country takes a substantial amount of money off you to upgrade a new gun before delivery and you later discover they used substandard parts and thats why your gun imploded 6mths later I call that poor customer service wouldn’t you ? Or another classic I’ve had happen i buy a gun and after I paid for this ‘in stock’ I received an email saying it’s actually on back order ? Yea that’s shit customer service as far as I’m concerned , products listed as in stock but you only discover its out of stock when you try to put the bloody thing in your basket ? that’s shite service . If you really must sit on your moral high horse and pass judgment on others then feel free too but please keep it to your self there’s a good chap . Remember this is just your opinion , and as we all know an opinion is like an arsehole , everyone has one and there frequently full of shit ? Live long and prosper .?

Many reasons players by from over seas and not the U.K. retailers , among them you have , severely over priced really shite customer service zero items in stock are just three I can think off of the top of my head ? if you can’t get the car you want from the U.K. but you can buy it and get it shipped over from Japan for a reasonable amount ? Yes I would (I have actually done it in the past with a motorbike) .

Evidence to counter what @AlphaBear said ? Nothing personal but just saying “not true” is hardly a 100% totally reliable and ‘convincing’ argument now is it . Savvy ?

Point 1 , why yes good sir you are SO spot on ! ?‍♂️ Point 2 , one full size M16 stock , a couple of red dot scopes , a PEQ box with working light and red laser , a 1911 paddle holster and a pair of rather pointy looking AK flash hiders , no problems with any of them .

I’ve been buying near everything I’ve needed (or more like just wanted ?) from Aliexpress and touch wood haven’t had a single problem with any of my orders getting through to me .?

So after 34 pages of basically everyone reporting having had either an identical or pretty close experience to everyone else would it be fair to say general consensus is even if you could you'd have to be a f?king loon of a monumental proportion to even think about buying anything from TG OR gunfire for the foreseeable future then ?

I do believe he’s replied to you ?

I wish I could but it’s all booked on through the main site via registered emails , no turn up pay and play allowed mores the pity otherwise that’s what I’d do .

The portishead site is a lot smaller than the main site and neither he or any of his cronies ever go there , and it’s run really well by the small team that’s always there . Hence not a problem for me .

Would appear so , just been speaking to a former marshal there and he said , you can overkill , ignore MED’s or any of the other safety rules as much as you want and all you’ll get is a game sit out or a go home early but dare to question the owners business ethics and your out on your arse for good ! as I have now discovered ! ?‍♂️???

And that particular day just keeps on giving , just tried to book on at there portishead site to be informed I’m banned from all there sites , didn’t like the fact I dared to complain and call them out on there terrible customer service .

What I was thinking !?

Another chancer trying to slip a rip off in amongst some other fair prices ? asking 250 for a 170 gun because it’s got some unknown scope and rail on it ? I think not .?

There was a full wood kited L1A1 for sale a while back that had been two-toned . just let that sink in , the player had paid extra to have the wood kit fitted THEN had paid even more to get the same wooden kit painted puke green !

I still haven’t got past the fact someone dropped that many beer tokens on a pissing two-tone !?

Feck off ya twat ! ? ?? Na it’s just ridiculously strong bonded nylon (actually thinking about it it’s probably stronger than Kevlar !?) as I discovered when it got looped around my foot and I went arse over tit and pulled the machine out of its mount !
