@Dan Robinson Indeed, it would be good to know what the outcome was like, as I'm going to Tokyo/Osaka in March with BA, but the return is a 2 part code share, with JAL being the named airline for the first bit.

Buyers remorse? https://www.usedairsoft.co.uk/rif-s/tokyo-marui-cqbr-block-1-gbb-rifle_i42872

I'm sorry, but £1,900 for a krytac in a frock and some internals chucked in it? https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/bolster-armouries-arkose-dmr-advanced-m4-aeg?pv=19958

I've noticed that the DE one says "Utilizes the Tokyo Marui MWS gas blowback system" whilst the Cyma says " Brand new CGS (CYMA Gas System) provides reliable performance and durability. Cross-compatible with all standard Tokyo Marui MWS-spec parts" Now i might be reading too much into toy guns blurb on a retailer website, but the DE one sounds like a direct clone whilst the Cyma sounds like they've fiddled with it. Also the Cyma has 2 major differences that i can see (again, maybe just retailer product photography or a pre-production model) - the Cyma has 11 holes in the rail as opposed to the DE's 10. Also the Cyma seems to have a seam in front of the magwell, whilst the DE doesn't. Not sure if thats better or worse. The rest seem to be cosmetic - the stock, grip, flash hider and one has BUISs. And one has the 300 BLK on the inside of the ust guard, and one on the outside.

I saw on Instagram that EMG are testing out a TTI kit for the MWS. Not sure who the OEM is. Also whilst poking around instead of working, I saw the Noveske is up for pre-order as a complete rifle. The body kit is more expensive, but the whole rifle is Cyma based and MWS compatible. https://www.evike.com/products/102356/ Additionally, it is different to the Double Eagle system https://www.evike.com/products/103135/ The wording is slightly different as well. The Cyma is MWS compatible, whilst the DE says its the MWS system.

For £50 you could even use it as a club and still come out on top

You could see if someone does a surefire 60 round Stanag gas mags for this, that should maybe get 100 shots out of - means less fiddly mag pouches. I suppose it depends how well these sell and how good the platform is. If this was the start of another hi-capa or VSR style surge, then we could be seeing lots of GBB LMGs and 3rd party accessories taking off. I would love to see them.

They didnt really touch on it, but what were the metal air containers for the box mags? It is a fancy HPA tank, or is a glorified green gas mag?

Saw this on reddit, looks like it has multiple air source options, as well as lots of dress up parts.

My mags and ammo. Will give them the battery as well just to make sure No additional charges for labour. Part X they did charge for as it was on the way out, but not the 2nd, better quality Part X. The reason I'm willing to give them a bit more leniency is they do have a very good rep and I've seen examples of their work, so willing to give the benefit of doubt on this final change. They have agreed to do a ground up rebuild to solve it once and for all.

If they had done all 4 tyres, i would rate them. But with the 2 tyres I am giving them the chance to rectify it - maybe I'm too nice and forgiving. We know airsoft isn't an exact science after all, but just wanted to gauge how other people would react to the situation. And obliviously people make mistake - go on reddit and you will see how wrong people get stuff sometimes.

Unfortunately, my plans got side swiped on the way down, so had to hurry back for a work thing and just made it by the skin of my teeth As mentioned, they did a bang up job on my other rif, and if that had been my only experience i'd be rating them 10/10 and telling everyone about them.

So without naming names or being specific, I've had a rif in with a tech who has a very good reputation. I dropped off 2 rifles, 1 for a tune up, and a DMR for repairs. The tune up rifle came back great, shoots nice and everything. The 2nd DMR came back, pulled the trigger, and dead - mosfet reported an error. Took it back (about an hours drive each way) and came back with X replaced. Took it home, fired about 0.2 of a joule. Back to the shop, another replacement to part X. Took it home, fired it, sounded all types of awful, BB's literally roll out the barrel and the bolt doesn't recoil. In hindsight, should've got them to chrono it in the store. So now do i take it back a 4th time (3rd do-over) or just cut my losses and try and get them to do a good will gesture refund on the labour?

Same - would love to see one of those. Although the little GBB could be a nice mp7 competitor

Great haul. What auction site was this?

That reminds me- i still need to pick my m14 up of him (the one he did the tech video on a few weeks ago) Also, you can monetise gun videos on YT, you can jut get de-monetised easily.

There's MWS's which are arguably much better than WE, with more mags, for a lot less than that. Agree with your theory that he's trying to pull a fast one.

I'm confused about how he got to that figure. Rif: £600 E6 upgrades: £900 if you tick every option including ones not mentioned on the ad. Vortex: £250 + £300 So £800 for a tracer, mags and unknown brand PC...

Theres these guys, but have no idea if the BBS are actually dark. Normally when you see "stealth bbs" they are black or grey Geoffs/BLS do only 2 out of the 3 things you need- but only in white https://www.stealthtactical.co.uk

Might need to measure, and looks a bit agricultural, but i use this to store my older plate carriers, spares, random bits https://www.homebase.co.uk/heavy-duty-trunk-on-wheels-175l/12818840.html?rctxt=default The lid is flat and quite strong so other things can be but on top of it

Is it a charging handle?

Hey... no need to make it personal now.

Reviving this thread, apparently this is VFC - coming out the same factory, just using a different name to avoid paying Sig for licensing

Salomon's are very comfy. I use a pair of Oakley SI boots (6") which i got when i was 18. I'm now 36 and they are still box fresh, apart from the toe needing a wee bit of polish
