  1. i used to play a game of cans - someone picks out the order (so pespi, carling, red bull, dr pepper, pringles). You would memorise the order - the 2nd person would arrange the cans in a different order. On the whistle, turn and shoot in the order. Fastest time/fewest shots win.
  2. 3m .22lr rounds were nicked from a lorry earlier this year and that barely got any traction at all. Mainly because it was in The Sun, but my spidey senses think it would've been a much bigger story if it was around the same time after that journalist was shot and killed in NI by a .22
  3. These will be in car boot sales by Sunday, sold for £50 a pop. Much rather these than a batch of Glock 19's go missing, which will be much more likely to be used for serious crime rather than flogged to punters.
  4. Reading it again, it does say "took replicas from 9 pallets" For all we know, they could've taken 10-12 RIFs ... Edit: It will be more of a ball ache to retailers/customers as they will have to work out out of the 2000 items (of the SA shipment alone) what's missing before they can release the load.
  5. You can use mini blowers for a 3D printer, hook up to a 9v battery, and if you want to be fancy, use a PWM to control the speed. However, you're not going to get a lot of spare real estate inside the lid to circulate air
  6. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-57149741 20 companies account for more than 50% - yet im the one stuck with a paper straw that folds over after 20 minutes Anyway, what were we talking about?
  7. I take offence at being called an SAS wannabe. I'd go for the Air Force and have a nice comfy officer's mess if anything
  8. I'm a semi-regular at RIFT so you'll be in for a treat at their sites. You've already got the main thing which is a decent set of boots with ankle support. Apart from that, maybe some gloves, plenty of liquid and a good sense of humour and willingness.
  9. I think it would be because its cheap as chips, easy to get hold of and available in pretty much every size under the sun.

    THE TM MWS thread

    Just got the waldo custom hush o rings - might be a bit OTT to call them game changers, but every TM gun is getting them from now on. Yes, including springers
  11. It's the little things that count - Waldo Custom Hush valves o-rings for my mws and glock mags. Goodbye to gas jizzing everywhere

    I just got a reply this morning - may be he does them in batches?
  13. KJW m700 with an M40a3 stock. Got this as a treat to myself 6 years ago - on the same day i got engaged to my now wife so i will never, ever sell it. Look gorgeous, super smooth bolt pull and just feels so nice in the hand. But being a gas sniper rifle, unless you HPA it it won't be the greatest in terms of consistency, and the hop nub on the upgraded set up isnt square either.
  14. Doing the man maths on it - £130 for a TM G17, £220-250 for a steel slide and internals, so you're up to £350 ish for that off the bat, but pre built with a new system. But can see it being £400 in UK shops.

    I've got the tool so will attempt it when i get the nub and hop rubber. Saw a post from Sam at KOA, and he said use a lot of heat, and hold the rail & body while torquing so that you dont snap the gun (worse nightmare)
  16. Ive moved over to compnent shop after hobby king ='s stock started to run dry. Back on topic - I think Amazon has kinda ruined me as i now expect free next day shipping on everything. When that's unlikely, i try and order as much as i can from the same shop, but as things get held on back order or OOS i often then just give up and not bother until i reallyyy need it
  17. I've said way back on this thread if i was in the business of making custom parts, an upgraded reinforced cocking handle first thing i would make, and try and make it THE upgrade you have on this RIF. You know someone will break it at some point
  18. I would not be surprised to see a Laylax or AngryGun kit out by december for fixed stocks, SD front ends and RAS systems
  19. I put it down to Youtubers who spunk £1000's into a silverback or VSR, and then edit gameplay to make it look like they shoot lasers, rather than the truth of sitting in a bush, firing 10 rounds to hit the target, then spend the afternoon in the safe zone wondering why it's not working. People watch it, buy a novitwat or cyma/well/jg and a scope and wonder why they're not doing it, and sell it after 2 games.

      Did anyone answer the phone?  Some places are pretty swamped at the moment, of course that's no excuse.

      Usual advice, just fire in with a chargeback through your payment processor.  "Item not received, retailer unreachable."  No elaboration.  The sooner you do it, the sooner you'll get it resolved, and if it does turn up (and only if it or a refund turns up) you can always close the case.

      I visited in store last friday (20th August) and they are open and operating, their website is just out of date. Give them a call!
