I know if I had £500-600 I'd go for a new Marui... Horses for courses though.

The motor has is unique to that model - very long shaft. I may have sourced some spares...

Nice warm hat - Olive or tan beanies work well. Shemagh for neck/face protection. Cheap set of BDUs. You could probably get the whole lot on eBay for £15.

Sadly not, but I am assured it is in excellent condition, which was good enough for me.

Flyye Go-Bag in Khaki - to replace a cheaper ACM one whose zips have gone kaput. £26 from eBay inc. P&P.

Got a MC TAD Gear patch coming across the pond in the post after winning one from them on Twitter.

TAD Gear Overland shirt from eBay. Milspec Monkey MC cap from eBay (same seller). Eyeing up a WE Makarov GBB at Crawley Surplus too...but funds towards an AA12 might have to take priority.

Ha! No worries, skippers. Just good to see there is a thriving Sussex community.

Sorry kids, thought this was a general 'Sussex meet...' thread. Forgive my brash impudence.

Be good if us local Sussex airsofters could do a meet at the new R.I.F.T site at Chailey - 14/2/16 I aim to be there with five friends and family...

Okay, so I have a Star Sopmod. It was put away working, and been in it's hardcase for years. I am paranoid that if used, the (unique) motor will go and it'll be a paperweight. It has had gears go before but they were not unique to the model. I have sourced a supplier of the Ares V2 SOPMOD motor - $22 no less - and hopefully over V2 parts. My query is...how compatible are V1/V2 parts?! I'd love to use it again but really don't want to irrepairably knacker it. Cheers.

I have a Gen 1 FastMag from Supply Captain from way back when, have kept AEG AK mags, Galil mags and M4 mags in it and never had one fall out or come loose. Wish I'd bought more.

A second Zippo handwarmer to compliment the one my wife bought me for Christmas plus a Zippo lighter. And a TAD Gear Overland shirt from eBay.

Without wanting to necro-post, but have been into Crawley Surplus a fair few times in the last year since discovering them, and they are really good guys. The tech/s working there are spot-on and whilst some of their prices are a bit mad on certain things, others are very competitive. Had a hold of the Dual-1911 they'd just got in today. Good luck holstering that! Well worth a visit.

You'd be there inside 10mins! Next game is 14th Feb apparently. Should be there myself with five or so of my posse!

Hi all, Is anyone able to please step-by-step how to remove the pump grip from the M870 Breacher to replace it with a G&P RAS grip? Is it an easy job and will I need a special tool for this? Cheers.

We have 1 minute long knife melee segments at Ace Combat. It works well there and the players love it. I don't like it enough to buy a rubber knife...so I just hide!

Combat South are consummate professionals. CSW is run extremely well and their Christmas skirmish and raffle is outstanding. The shop is a bit of a treasure trove and yes, customer service is top notch. CSW rules are 328fps +/- 10% IIRC and there is no Co2 allowed either IIRC. Not sure about sniper FPS.

All you Sussex softers, new site in North Chailey - 1 min or so from me would you believe it - has opened - r.i.f.t airsoft with a review in Airsoft Action this month. Cannot believe it has been open for four months and I hadn't a clue!!!

I like both aspects. I like having AEGs that I don't see anyone else with (or at least rarely) and/or ones I really like - my first cap gun was an Uzi, so I had to get a TM Uzi...I love Bond films, so I had to get a PPK(/S). I love the bank robbery in Heat, so I had to get a Galil...I love Full Metal Jacket and I know I will, someday, own an M60... As for clothing, I grew up in hand-me-downs and we never had a lot of money for branded clothes. Now that I have a salary, I can save up for some nice gear that also is perfectly suitable for trail walking; which I am getting into as well. So I have invested in clothes that should be durable, functional and tactical if needs be: TAD Gear, Merrell and OPS being the main ones. I loved the look of a PCU jacket, so I wanted one. The fact that it works flipping well in winter swayed my wallet. I wear what is going to keep me warm or cool and most importantly, comfortable. It can be a long old day and the UK weather is, as we all know, and unpredictable madam. What is great about airsoft, and it echoes others; is that participants are, as a whole, pretty non-judgemental. 'What works for you', is my motto.

Not strictly airsoft - but arguably good EDC wear - Sports Direct (I know...I know...) Selling Levi's jeans for £18.

Save up, get a TM M870 Breacher.
