  1. There are a lot of reasons. TM have an excellent reputation for making reliable, accurate and reasonably affordable guns, so they sell a lot of them new. A lot of new guns sold means a bigger pool of used guns. TM make very reliable guns, so they last a long time. A TM might be resold multiple times when something cheaper was scrapped by its second (or even first!) owner, so again - a bigger pool of used guns. TM make some relatively high-end stuff, especially the NGRS/MWS rifles you're probably talking about. Guns like that are very expensive, so when people don't want them any more they sell them to get the money, rather than forget about them in the loft. A £100 SRC might not be worth the trouble of selling - a £700 Recoil Shock is a different proposition. Expensive guns are also worth repairing when things go wrong, prolonging their lifespan where a cheaper gun that suffered the same failure might have been scrapped. People that can afford to buy high-end stuff can afford to chop and change more frequently. People that can't afford to buy high-end stuff but did so anyway need to sell stuff more frequently.
  2. The man is a bell-end of the highest order. The only thing I can recommend absolutely is his Twitter, which is a collection of nuclear hot takes and some of the purest, most concentrated cringe ever to splatter across the face of the internet. Some recent highlights include: Have you considered forging COVID-19 certificates? Would you rather have dinner with me, or wear my clothes? Would you rather date a beautiful woman, or be my simp? "I think Andrew Tate's a pretty cool guy. Eh traffics women and doesnt afraid of anything." All of these are just from the last three months, truly amazing. Some more absolute bangers: My unpopularity is symptomatic of societal decline. I would like to take this opportunity to not attempt to refute any of these accusations.

    For sale is a TM Glock 34 in lightly-used condition. Overall the pistol is pretty similar to the G17, but with a longer slide and outer barrel, adjustable rear sight, and an extended slide release. The gun is fitted with three basic Guarder upgrades: GLK-19(BK) - Nylon polymer frame with full Glock Europe trademarks. This is vastly stronger and more robust than the TM original, and has had the front frame post potted in epoxy for bullet-proof strength. GLK-107 - 150% recoil spring for much snappier cycling. If that's not for you, the original TM spring is included. GLK-71(BK) - Magwell, adds to the G36's racegun look and speeds reloads. Detaches with a single screw if you don't like it; if you do like it, I've included four TM Advanced baseplates so you can accessorise your other magazines. The included magazine is a KJW, which is identical to the TM except for having a much better (silent fill) inlet valve. No box or accessories are included. The video below is horrifically out of focus, but shows the snappiness and efficiency of the gun just fine. For more information on the pistol, or for more pictures, please don't hesitate to get in touch. Shipping is available, including internationally, at the buyer's cost.

  4. Is it even a real abomination if you don't hack it up a bit? ARMY Armament R45 "V6", customised with "V6" barrel porting and slide cuts, custom-milled mount for ACM Shield RMS, and a Nova trigger. Since these photos were taken it got an ARMY magazine release that's closer to the VB one, and I've flattened the grips. Still needs a new hammer, a dust cover rail, and battleship grey paintjob.

    I’m trying to find a transparent Glock frame for Marui-pattern Glocks. In particular, I’m interested in the Guns Modify ones: GM0299 Transparent Polymer Gen.3 RTF Frame for TM Model 17 / 18C with AGC Style CNC GM0298 Transparent Polymer Gen.3 RTF Frame for TM Model 17 / 18C with S Style CNC GM0286 Transparent Polymer Gen.3 RTF Frame for TM Model 17 / 18 I’m prepared to pay a bounty for one of these, up to and including buying an already built gun if necessary. Let me know what you’ve got!

    For sale is a CNC steel Guarder Glock 34 slide and barrel kit for the TM Glock 17. This is an absolutely beautiful set, with a lightly worn finish that is a very close fit for the actual Glock slide/frame colour match and really makes the full trademarks pop. Included are the slide, outer barrel, ejector (securely JB Welded in place, as depending upon your BBU housing they can go walkies), serial number plate (all numbers-matching as PTW362), Guarder steel recoil spring guide and 150% recoil spring, Guarder steel rear sight and TM luminous front sight (giving white three-dot sight picture) and a brand new Guarder lightweight BBU housing and piston head. The locking shoulder and side of the outer barrel have been polished for smooth running, as this was my competition pistol for some time. This is (as you would expect) a very heavy kit with a stiff recoil spring, making for a lot of felt recoil. Please note that the Guarder G34 slide is not compatible with airsoft rear sights. The previous owner fitted the current steel rear sight by milling it flat, and drilling up through the slide so that the BBU retaining screw engages the sight. This has proven very secure (as opposed to the factory dovetailed sights, which are also prone to going walkies) but this will need to be borne in mind if you want to change the rear sight in the future. For more information on the kit, or for more pictures, please don't hesitate to get in touch. Shipping is available, including internationally, at the buyer's cost.

    For sale is a SureFire Nitrolon P114C weapon light for the SIG P226. This is a vintage light, and was an iconic accessory to DEVGRU-issued P226 Navy pistols from the early 1990s through mid-2000s. It has an always on push switch, and constant on momentary pressure switch. The light is in absolutely mint condition; it sat unopened in its box for 15+ years before I bought it in 2014, and has sat in its box for another 9 years since. Like most SureFire weaponlights prior to LEDs, this light uses drop-in P60 incandescent bulb assemblies, which are pretty dim by modern standards. Included with this light is a P60 LED replacement from LumensFactory, lathe-turned to fit and accompanied with a custom spring since normal drop-ins are too large for the housing. It is much, much brighter and gives far better run-time from the twin CR123A batteries. Included with the light are: The original box A mint SureFire MR04 adapter for non-rail SIG P226, complete with original packaging and Allen key A spare, damaged, SureFire MR04 adapter. One of the four bolt lugs cracked off the adapter; the backing plate is unharmed, and a cosmetic (epoxy putty) repair has been made. The repair needs a bit of sanding to mirror the other side A custom metal adapter backing plate, closer to the shape of airsoft P226 trigger guards, four screws for it, and a custom spacer to go inside the adapter to help support it. This helps position properly and reduces stress on the adapter when fitting it to pistols that don't exactly replicate the P226 trigger guard, which is most of them. The pistol it is pictured fitted to is a PGC-based P226 which is also for sale. Two P60 bulb assemblies, one of them so old it's actually marked "Laser Products" instead of SureFire The original spring for the LED assembly, in case you want to use it in a different P60 host. Not included, but available for sale separately, are the PGC-based P226 it is pictured fitted to, and a vintage Safariland 6xxx-series (I believe a 6004-776) suede-lined Kydex holster to suit the weapon and light. Included is a picture of SEALs in the 2006 Battle of Ramadi; at least the nearest two have this exact combination of weapon and holster. Note: Like many SureFires designed around incandescent bulbs, the polarity of the bulb terminals is reversed from the modern convention. To allow the use of LEDs, shims have been soldered to the positive battery terminals so that you can simply put the batteries in the wrong way around to get the polarity right for LEDs. You can unsolder the shims if you don't want this feature any more; the light continues to work just fine with incandescent bulbs regardless of which way you put the batteries in. This P114C, the deluxe model with the pressure switch, is a holy grail of early SureFires, and given that all examples are now 20+ years old you are highly unlikely to ever find another in this condition. For more information on the light, or for more pictures, please don't hesitate to get in touch. Shipping is available, including internationally, at the buyer's cost.

  8. This is spectacular work - do you have any plans you drew it up from, or anything?
  9. They are rare. I've only ever seen one for sale; I bought it and had it modified to 14mm CCW to fit my GHK. Incidentally, I still have the original, unmodified 16mm CW barrel stub from mine - if you want that as a spare, or to put on another AUG or something, just drop me a PM. It was done by cutting a Hephaestus steel outer barrel down - each bit is full steel, including the gas block. S, M, XXL Not sure why I insist on waiting until I'm selling something to take decent pictures of it, but all three bits (the pistol, the light, the holster) of this slice of 2000s Navy SEAL life are sadly for sale.

    For sale is a non-rail SIG Sauer P226. It is built on the newer Tokyo Marui P226 E2 variant with improved FCG and magazine, into a fully-trademarked CNC aluminium PGC kit. The PGC kit has been out of production for more than a decade at this point; non-rail P226s currently on the market are either more than $1,250 - usually not including the donor - or significantly lower quality than the billet-CNC PGC. The gun is fitted with a full set of upgrades, including: Complete set of Guarder steel controls (takedown lever, trigger, decocking lever, slide catch, hammer, magazine release) Guarder steel sights Complete set of Guarder steel FCG (hammer sear, valve knocker and knocker lock) Guarder steel recoil spring guide and 150% recoil spring Stainless steel Lambda One 6.01x95mm inner barrel and Maple Leaf 60-degree hop-up bucking UAC lightweight blowback unit Prime faux firing pin assembly Genuine Hogue rubber finger-groove wraparound grip, PGC grip screw inserts and Guarder steel grip screws It is accompanied by some spares and accessories: Prime threaded outer barrel (14mm CCW) A complete set of spare springs from MAG, plus a spare Guarder front sight clip The original (aluminium) PGC rear sight The original PGC brass adapter set, I believe for building the kit with either E2 grips and/or on a P226R base Not included, but available for sale separately, are the Guarder AAC Spider suppressor, Surefire Nitrolon P114C weaponlight with custom LumensFactory LED conversion, and a vintage Safariland 6xxx-series (I believe a 6004-776) suede-lined Kydex holster to suit the weapon and light This gun was professionally assembled by Pro Airsoft Supplies, and professionally tuned by Wizard Airsoft Customs. It is in full working order - in fact, it is the smoothest-running pistol I've ever owned, with an amazing slide-frame fit that just glides. The recoil is very, very snappy and the gun is very efficient; in the video (below) it fires more than 60rds in rapid fire. The gun was built, and then has been in its box for its entire life - it has never been skirmished, and is in mint condition with only minor marks from being put into the suede-lined Safariland. Unless you are prepared to fork over $1,500+ for a steel P226 from a boutique Taiwanese builder, this is the best non-rail P226 on sale. For more information on the pistol, or for more pictures, please don't hesitate to get in touch. Shipping is available, including internationally, at the buyer's cost.

    For sale is a Code Red Battle Zero Tactical Bone Conduction Headset, with PTT puck and MRC (K-type) cord for Kenwood and -style (e.g. Baofeng) two-pin radios. This headset sits behind your ears, and receives and transmits sound through vibrations in your skull. Unlike traditional in- or over-ear earphones which block direct hearing - reducing your situational awareness - this leaves your ears unaffected. This headset works as new, and has been worn twice; I just can't persuade my teammates to use radios. Shipping is available, including internationally, at the buyer's cost.

    For sale is quite a lot of a brand new Tokyo Marui P226 E2. This pistol was used as a donor for a heavily-upgraded kit build, and as a result many parts are left over. Specifically: Slide, outer barrel, frame, grip panels and pins Recoil spring Front and rear sights and screws (P226-12) Inner barrel, hop-up unit halves, arm and screws Magazine release, decocking lever, slide catch lever, trigger, hammer and safety lever engagement bar (P226-44) Decocking lever retention base and screws (226E2-12 and P226-57) Guarder 150% hammer spring Valve knocker, knocker lock and hammer sear Do not get confused by the pictures: these parts are in Guarder packaging only for reference, and are unless otherwise specified factory TM components. The gun was new and unfired before being stripped down; all except the front sight (a bit of paint seems to have rubbed while in storage) and the valve knocker, knocker lock and hammer sear (200rds fired) are absolutely mint. All are in full working order. I won't be splitting parts from this set at this time. Shipping is available, including internationally, at the buyer's cost.

    For sale is a Real Sword SVD V2, serial number RS004737. This rifle is in near-mint condition, with the only marks being some wear to the finish around the end of the flash hider (from attaching and detaching the suppressor) and the front sling loop (from the sling attachment clip). Given that Real Sword are now defunct, this rifle - which has been in its box for essentially its entire life, since I am its only owner - may well be the best-preserved RS SVD in the world. The Real Sword SVD was unique in being largely built from forgings and furniture made by Chinese state arsenal Norinco, and is generally considered one of the best-made airsoft guns of all time. This V2 version is fitted with an improved gearbox including the previously optional release lever to clear lock-ups. The rifle has been professionally upgraded with an AirLab high-current MOSFET, an AirLab RealSword SVD 70D sorbothane pad, a PDI 260% spring and Lonex A2 Titan high-torque short-shaft motor, and has been reshimmed with Lonex stainless-steel shims. I estimate fewer than 750rds through the rifle in total. When last fired it chronographed at about 475FPS with a 0.20g BB. It is accompanied by: Three genuine Real Sword steel 96rd midcap magazines, all in mint condition. The Real Sword accessories, including sight adjustment tool, maintenance multitool, collapsible steel barrel cleaning rod, unjamming rod, manual and certificate of authenticity. Also included is the original box, which was unfortunately badly damaged by Border Force; other than the box everything is in mint condition. The correct Real Sword quick-detach illuminated PSO-1M2 (ПСО-1M2) scope, serial number RS01649. This is an extremely high-quality scope thought to be made for Real Sword by BelOmo, and has absolutely nothing in common with the terrible ACM replicas. The scope is in absolutely mint condition, and is accompanied by its storage pouch, adjustment tools, two spare bulbs, the correct battery (2L76, also known as CR1/3N or CR11108), two rubber eye cups, and front and rear rubber lens protectors. RGW steel quick-detach stabilised S-1 SVD bipod, which is vastly improved over the terrible Prodiz SDA-C101 (which is much more common in airsoft). This has two-position extendable legs, and extendable spikes for using on soft surfaces. RGW solid aluminium quick-detach TGP-V SVD suppressor. Two spare genuine Real Sword pistons. A genuine spare Real Sword gear set. A surplus Soviet SVD drop case. A surplus Soviet AK-74 sling. Three Turnigy Nano Tech 1400mah 3S 15~25C 11.1v LiPo batteries. It is not accompanied by the Real Sword quick-detach cheek pad (thanks, Border Force). Surplus Soviet replacements are available online for approximately £75; alternatively LCT's SV-005 is readily purchased for less than £40. For more information on the rifle, or for more pictures, please don't hesitate to get in touch. Shipping is available, including internationally, at the buyer's cost. The price of this rifle is not negotiable at this time.

  19. Thanks! It basically bankrupted me but at least all three configurations can keep me company in my cardboard box under a bridge. Any time a tracer unit goes off it’s going to be noticeable to people that are looking down the barrel, even without using tracer ammunition. In general people aren’t bothered about it because the bright green streaks of ammunition are already giving away their position. It sounds like the guy you were playing against had a muzzle flash or ‘spitfire’ unit - I have one of those too and it’s tons of fun with GBBRs. I’ve never tried to use my X3300W without tracer ammunition, so I’m not sure if there’s a way to do so without the flash… Maybe the V2 can do that?
  20. Pleasure, glad to help. My AUG is cut down to the gas block (I have various screw-on barrel extensions) and I can confirm the "ears" of the faux gas regulator interfere with the X3300W suppressor. I got a Guarder 1" extension (I'm one of those imbeciles that has to have steel everything) and that solved the problem immediately.
  21. I have what I assume is a V1. I like mine plenty, especially for when I'm running a GBBR or something else with limited capacity and I don't want to run dry at a particularly inopportune moment. Some things to consider: I'd prefer for it to be rechargeable rather than AAs and AAAs (maybe the V2 has that) but the batteries have lasted me since I bought it, which is several years and several thousand rounds, so I can't complain too much. I'd advise putting some permanent marker on the on/off button on the back, which like most tracers blips bright green every few seconds to let you know it's on, which is annoying when playing in the dark. Bear in mind that the back of the suppressor is completely flat (no protruding collar) which means if there's something on your gun that protrudes near the barrel threads you might not be able to screw it all the way on. A 1" barrel extension (Guarder and doubtless numerous others sell them) will solve this issue. The "PEQ" doesn't feel fragile; mine has presumably taken BB hits (the rest of the gun has taken plenty) and seems undamaged. I wouldn't want it to take a BB hit to the display, though - it doesn't look like it has a polycarbonate shield or anything. I should probably print one to give it a bit more protection. The display has a sunshade sort of thing with side wings that have evidently protected it so far, but if I got shot from behind it would be vulnerable. My complaint is actually with the suppressor/tracer unit. I must have smacked the front of it on something at some point (inevitable in CQB), which dented the casing out of round and caused the front cap to pop off and disappear. Mine shipped with a spare cap, but with the dent it won't fit into place. I need to take a hammer or something and bang it back into shape, and maybe get or print one of those faux glass-breakers or something to give it a bit more protection. If you're looking to encase it in a bigger suppressor that would be an excellent way to stop this happening. I haven't tried the FCU but the rest of it works just fine. I don't use the FCU and never would, I don't use any basic AEGs so all my guns stop on empty anyway. I wouldn't particularly recommend it even for basic AEGs, that kind of man-in-the-middle interrupter is never going to be ideal.
  22. Format shamelessly stolen from @Asomodai. EXTREMELY LENGTHY REVIEW. Site Name: CAMO CQB Skirmish Arena Contact Details: [email protected] Website Address: https://camoairsoftevents.com/indoor-airsoft-arena/ Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/CAMOcqb Site Address: 39 Shannon Way, Canvey Island, SS8 0PD Hello all! I can't find a review of CAMO's indoor CQB site on AFUK, which is understandable as it's a relatively new site (only open since 03/04/22). @blobface and I played the Sunday game on 27/11/22. The Site: The CQB Skirmish Arena is really only a part of the CAMO retail complex, and shares space with the shop showroom, technicians' workshop, electronic shooting range, and a slightly weird booth seating area evidently intended for players and shoppers to eat crisps and chat shit. As usual providing a size comparison to other CQB sites isn't easy, but I roughly estimate it at about a fifth of the size of The Mall. The whole complex is arranged over a single floor in an industrial estate on Canvey Island. The provisional (not final) layout of the CAMO retail complex. Yes it does look like Daedalus designed a vape. The site is semi-auto only, with an energy limit of 350FPS (1.14J), and a maximum BB weight of 0.32g (277FPS equivalent). No pyrotechnical devices of any sort - including BFGs - or green lasers are permitted. The site is in perfect condition (as you would expect, being at present less than six months old) and I would expect it to stay that way. I recommend bringing a torch, as the lighting in the play area can be adjusted at random in both brightness and colour. Good: Safe Zone: The safe zone is by a country mile the best I've ever used in a decade and a half of airsoft. It's clean, well lit, gargantuan for the maximum number of players (20), and fully kitted out with worktops. There's no seating, but the aforementioned weird booths are only yards away. Given that the entire complex is on one floor and the safe zone is at one end of it you're never more than 60 seconds' walk from it. Adjacent is a nifty shooting range with AttackSense electronic targets, an ideal way to spend your downtime - or at least it would be if the gaps between the games were more than a few minutes at most. The shooting range. Facilities: Absolutely first class. The complex itself is barely a year old, and was built entirely from scratch, seemingly almost exclusively out of OSB. The shop and booth seating area are large, spotlessly clean, and have multiple power sockets (including USB), large, clean flushing toilets (both male and female). Site Layout: The arena is an American-style killhouse, played at extremely close quarters in a maze of very small spaces arranged to make the most of the limited square footage. If you don't like CQB you're going to hate the site, but you're also not going to go in the first place. If you like CQB this is a very professional-feeling place. Despite the limited square footage the arena itself feels quite large, but unfortunately due to some not-very-creative game modes you're not likely to see much of the opposing side's half, as things have a tendency to stalemate around the middle of the arena, with the small teams still managing to each cover most angles of attack. 20 players (the maximum permitted) is a good limit, but I think it would play better with 16-18 and/or some different game modes. Engagement distances are extremely short: shots of 10-15m at the absolute maximum and more like 1-5m on average. There is a lot of peeking doorways to see if someone is squatting low down; remember to check your corners! The respawn points are at opposite ends of the arena, so you'll never be more than 30 seconds from being back in play. Marshalling: The marshals were friendly and very professional, although with so many obstructed sight lines it was presumably pretty difficult for them to see much. One standout thing is the use of kill counters - little boxes counting up (deaths) or down (respawns remaining to each team) in each spawn point. These were particularly good in an initial TDM mode to help assess the balance of the teams; this is a good idea brilliantly executed and I'd like to see more sites use the same system. Safety: A very brief brief with no unfunny jokes, and stringent chronographing of all guns noted against a sheet of players. The ban on pyro is not just a fire safety requirement, it's an absolute must - the spaces are too confined and too close together for people to be lobbing grenades at each other. The BB weight limit is more than adequate given the short distances. Turnaround Time: Very rapid, aided by the fact that the safe zone is readily accessible, but also necessitated by the very short game day (3hrs). Average: Value: £20.00 (£40.00 including rental equipment) for three hours' play would feel a bit steep for an abandoned building, but is pretty reasonable for a brand new purpose built arena with such a limited number of players. For reference, short games at Invicta's Black Site - which is comparable in terms of distance from London and must be at least double the size - are £25.00 for five hours. I would happily have paid another £5.00-10.00 for another 1-1.5hrs of play; three hours felt a bit short. Game Options: The site has evening games (18:00-21:00) on Fridays and day games (10:00-13:00) on Sundays. I'm surprised that CAMO don't run a longer game (or a second one) on Sundays; it seems crazy to only pull in £800 a week from a site that must have cost tens of thousands of pounds to construct. Location: Canvey Island is right out in the Thames delta. While still very convenient for Londoners (at about 45min on the train from Fenchurch Street, followed by a 5min bus ride) if you're not from somewhere in the South East it's going to be a bit of a trek, just like most other airsoft sites. There's plenty of on-site secure parking. Game Modes: Limited to just three (TDM, find-and-retrieve objects, and infection with limited respawns) that I can recall, these were a bit underwhelming and definitely the thing easiest and most impactful to improve. Although the modes were simple and easy to play, aside from infection none allowed players to hunt each other through the entire arena, as flanking opportunities are restricted by the narrowness of the building itself. I would like to have roving objectives that enabled the sides to see more of the opponents' half of the arena during a game. Another feature I felt was under-used was the arena's smart lighting system - plunging the whole place into darkness would have been more interesting if it had lasted more than 30-60 seconds of every 10 minutes. There's great potential for gas-and-spring days, or "night" games in total darkness, and with only 20 players it could also be financially viable to just rent the entire site for private games. Playerbase: The playerbase trends heavily towards young speedsofters, which is to be expected given the generally fast-paced play. Players were generally well-behaved, especially when it came to trying to limit overshooting, but I felt there were a few slightly questionable hits not taken, particularly given the extremely close range where it was hard to dismiss the tracer BBs visibly bouncing off opponents. Site Shop: This is a tricky one. The fact that CAMO's actual online sales and retail operation are on-site means you have access to a massive range of guns, some accessories, and a professional workshop right next to the play area. The entire complex takes card payments. The arena counter has some of what you'll need on the day: BBs, propellant, snacks and soft drinks. There's no hot food, although with only 3 hours' play you may not work up much of an appetite. What lets the side down somewhat is the relative paucity of things players might need on the day, like PPE, LBE, batteries, or silicone oil. For example, if you're a CQB site operating partially in the dark, it's a bit weird to have only one weight (0.20g, too) of tracer BB to sell. Bad: UKARA Registration: CAMO are not presently able to offer a UKARA-registered site membership, although they hope to be able to do so in 2023. This is a bit of an omission for a site that is operated by a fairly major airsoft retailer and it will be good to see it addressed. Conclusion: The CQB Arena is a good morning's play, in a style and setting that's relatively novel for this part of the UK at least. The complex itself is simply a cut above any other site I've ever visited. The arena itself is quite interesting and it would take many game days to learn it all, CAMO run it very professionally, and the players seem to make the most of both. I'd wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone interested in some CQB, and we'll certainly be back. Bullpup Watch: My AUG and a P90.

The Fortmeier Phoenix looks nice, but it's RS and correspondingly expensive. The Leapers UTG TL-BPOB01-A looks OK but isn't that cheap either. The one I personally want is the Otto Repa Helios, which looks lighter, and which Begadi sold a relatively reasonably priced replica of several years back. Unfortunately they're really difficult to find, but worth investigating.
