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.

I got myself a TM Detonics a month or so back...absolute pocket rocket and just lovely to hold and shoot. Well worth looking at if you can find one.

The TM M92 and TM Mk.23 are superb sidearms...I have both. My brother has a WE 1911 MEU type...and he is always surprised when it works. He is now looking for TM options. My advice: buy TM.

Yes, Karrimor is just an intellectual property these days, same as Kangol, Sondico and Slazenger. It is how Ashley does things...buys the brand so it can be put on any old thing. Am sure some items are still good...but I would expect to get what you pay for.

"Buy it at our discounted price with a full 12 month warranty OR take the responsibility yourself if you have any issues with your rifle and we will knock £250 off the price." That is an ambiguous statement then. It reads like the £799.99 is the discounted price (which it is) and then you can knock another £250 off. Hmm.

I grabbed some Goretex Merrell Allout Blaze 'trainers' from eBay for about half the RRP - well worth looking into - very comfortable, waterproof thus far and seem to be hard-wearing. They are a blue/grey though. When it isn't wet, I wear Merrell Chameleon Wrap 'trainers' which are a lower cut but a better colour match for my loadout.

US MARPAT is pretty damn effective and not seen a lot... The slightly greener CADPAT is hardly ever seen *bad-dum tish* on a skirmish day IMHO and I would dare say could be more effective than MARPAT. Danish M84 is very good in woodland - maybe almost as effective as Flecktarn - which I rate pretty much the highest. US Tri-Colour BDUs are a classic look, cheap-as-fries and easily sourced with lots of pouches/vests etc., as well.

Airsoft World are selling a Systema M4 PTW for £799.99 - but appear to be also offering a further £250 off of that if you buy it without accepting a warranty. Also, they are selling an A&K M249 Para for £249.99.

Ditch the M4 idea, get yourself a £270 ICS Galil ARM and breathe in the wood and metal goodness, the ambi-fire-selector and totally badass Tom-Sizemore-in-Heat-look.

Hoping that Mrs Dentonboy has taken the hint over a TAD Gear merino neck warmer and a Brandit bag. May have to treat myself to something after Christmas with any cash that finds its way to me; would love a Stealth hoodie or a Maruzen PPK...

Fair enough, I was under the impression that the CMs were pretty damn good all round. Not owned one, so only going on reviews.

The price of G&G makes them stand out!!! I can't quite believe how Classic Army have fell away...their M249 and AUG were excellent.
