Hmm If I remember correctly his name was C**** usually short for C********** 😂😉

My local plods from Surrey police are actually aware of my airsoft kit as I was burgled in 2014 and lost a number of RIFS, the officer they sent to interview me a few days later was actually a regular at my closest site Epsom tunnels so he was very sympathetic to the trauma of losing all those pieces - was nice to start that conversation without an air of being interrogated as to WHY YOU GOT GUNS, and instead bonded over our shared hobby 😆 - we also had a good conversation about using RIFs in self defence in a home invasion scenario from a legal stand point; took away some interesting pointers.

I think as I've gotten a little older i've lost my patience for muddy fields and rainy days... having said that I played at Plantation a couple of years ago in December on a crisp sunny day when it was around -1 to 0 all day and the ground was frozen solid, it actually made for a great time. As long as you're dressed up and have a good anti fog system. Would take those conditions over slushy mud anytime. The aesthetics of the site were great too, everything was frosted over pretty much all day.

Yeah I was thinking about asking them to do that too 🤔 Out of interest, how easy was it to mod the lower for an AEG or GBB ? And made me also wonder if a real trigger pack would work on a GBB 🤓

Thanks gents. Good to know that it is not actually a regulated item, so even if it does get seized by someone having a bad day, wanting to take it out on little old me, there should not be any legal implications.

Afternoon all, I am eyeing up this - when and if it comes back in stock I may pick one up. But I am feeling a little cautious about the implications of purchasing/importing from a real steel accessory retailer (imagining firearms component scrawled over the parcel description 😅) I think I would definitely contact them beforehand and ask how they would in fact label the parcel. But let's say i'm unlucky and customs do pick it up; i'm wondering if it is in fact an accessory that came from a retailer that caters for RS, would that effect their release decision even if I explain it was for legal use. And more importantly, could that get me in trouble if they rule against me. I suppose it comes down to what extent components like furniture are actually regulated. It may also come down to the disposition and knowledge of the agent who handles the case. Any experience or advice in such cases?

@Cooperman26hmm best of luck getting that through mate 🤞

Maintenance complete: Asia https://airsoft-asia.com/ (gone, but not to be confused with Asia Airsoft which is still up and running. This is a shame though, airsoft asia was good, used them many times. http://www.gunnerairsoft.com/ (that is an absolute tragedy - anyone who was around during the mid 2000s ACM boom, will feel this one) EU https://www.airsoftarms.eu/en/ apparently became https://www.darkbull.eu http://www.ussli.com/ closed/down

Made another little mod to the G3: I would say my hands are about average to slightly larger... wear medium of large gloves depending on the make. But the G3 selector throw from Safe to Semi was seemingly designed for people with five inch fingers... or Germans!? 🤔 I can just about snatch at the selector while I have the rifle shouldered, but only just - it's easier to slip it off into your arms which for some reason gives your hand a bit more reach. Anyway I drill and tapped the 'safe' detent, screwed in a 3mm grub screw, and then drilled a new detent slightly less than half way to the semi position. luckily the G3 offers you a lot of leeway before the safety actually comes off. Anyway, now anyone with normal sized hands can flip between safe and semi with about a 1 cm throw from the end of the selector without actually de-shouldering the rifle. Quite happy with how that turned out. Quite happy with how that turned out.

The CA scar does use a version two gearbox, I have worked on a few, mostly older M15 ones but also my brothers Nemesis, and the switch assembly location is pretty standard... No obvious reason it would not work.

Done a little bit of mid winter cleaning and removed dead links from the UK retailer list. Will get round to EU and Asia when I can. If any owners believe your site has been removed in error please let me know and/or provide an updated URL. Thx the following have been taken off: http://uk.redwolfairsoft.com/ - Redwolf HK still exists, RW UK seems to longer be in service after being hit by a fire some time ago. Can anyone confirm this? will remain off the list for the time being. https://hwairsoft.com/ https://www.battlezoneairsoft.com/ https://shop.a2supplies.co.uk/ http://www.red1airsoft.co.uk/ https://www.targetszone.co.uk/ https://camoraids.co.uk/ https://www.cheapbbguns.co.uk/ - Not sure if this is actually down or not but refuses to load due to certificate or potential hijacked link according to Norton - taken off for the time being.

Added to the UK list - tagged "niche & collectables"

I've made a final ergo modification to the A4 stock: I realised that the cheek pad off my SVD sits quite squarely on the A4 rails when decoupled from the SVD mounting bracket. So I ordered a second CYMA SVD pad, removed the coupler and made a small mounting plate from plywood and high density foam that sits at the bottom of the sliding stock with the lock rails dividing the two parts. Used two of the existing screw holes to then clamp the two pieces together. Works well and forms a very comfy cheek weld for the LPVO. On the downside you do lose the ability to fully collapse the stock, but I'm not particularly bothered; it's set at position two where I like it.

Yeah it is so bad, the reason I replaced the hard plastic butt pad with a piece of foam on mine. I'm not certain and I'm sure it could be confirmed or disproven by looking at the service entry dates for the G3A4 and the relevant MP5 models, but I always assumed the A4 variant stock was simply the first rendition by HK and then they improved it by the time the MP5A3 started being produced with a better butt pad and the addition of multiple 'length of pull' lock points. And I guess then perfected with the MP5J (not sure if that's a real steel designation) but If I remember correctly it was a change to a more comfortable soft rubber pad requested my Japanese police?... or something along those lines lol)

What's Blue and not very heavy?
