I figured as much, I emailed Patrolbase to ask them to check. Just seems odd that I never had an email to say it had expired or anything.

First time today at Level 2 Airsoft in Oldham. Took my WE Gen 3 Glock 17, PTS RM4 ERG Scout and Ronin AK variant. Glock and Scout were fine but the AK fired hot (375ish) which was annoying as I've never used it before. Then the gearbox locked up so it's stuck in semi and can't be changed to full or safe so that's fun and another project that'll probably never get finished. The site is up 2 flights of stairs so with a very heavy XL hard case was one way of waking up but once I got upstairs, I was greeted with a nice spacious and clean shop and safezone area, plenty of space to get myself set up without being crammed in. Staff are very friendly and helpful with clear instructions all day. The game zone is very nice, loads of space and routes to take to access different areas of the site. I only did half a day but four different game modes in that time, Team Deathmatch, 'Whack-A-Mole' (8 targets that need to be shot to change colour), Domination and Point Capture (using jerry cans with numbers on them). Quick 5 minute bomb up between games and everything went very smoothly, no issues with people not taking hits although their Tap Tap Pause rule took some getting used to and I did accidentally triple tap a handful of people. My bad! Sadly, alongside the issue with my AK, the firing pin in my TRMR-E1 snapped. I have no idea how the fuck it happened but only found out after I threw it the second time and it didn't go off, opened it up and the pin was gone. Sadly I think that's a replacement TRMR so that's another £85 to spend I don't have. Overall, good day. Nice to be at a new-to-me site, good staff, just issues with my own kit that put a dampener on it. Will definitely be back.

No, trying to get back into it. I haven't been playing for years and the site I used to play at is basically non-existent, Invasion Airsoft. I know there's a woodlands site but I never see anything about games there and the owner has been teasing a new/old CQB site for a while with no info. AFAIK, it's just a shop these days.

This thread is actually quite interesting for me. I had my UKARA first registered in 2017, the email said it would be active until 2018 but I have not once had a single email since telling me that it has expired or it needs renewing. I have no way of knowing if my number is valid or not (I doubt it) aside from emailing a retailer and asking them to check it for me

I was told they were not allowed. I have one on my Krytac and was specifically told it was Semi only.

Gonna update this here. Played my first game in 4 years and went to Chemical a few weeks ago. I've known the owners (Grant and Jack) for years from when they played at Trojan/Invasion in Stockport. As far as CQB sites go, it's pretty run of the mill. Corridors to lock down, flanking routes and plenty of cover. It is a tiny bit more speedsoft oriented with music playing during rounds but it was still fun. Semi only, no binary triggers when I went and a typical no nonsense rule set made for a relaxing and fun first game back. Smaller than Invasion was but that was fine, only 9 of us that day but it worked out.

I do have 7.4's but my CRB has had a fair bit of work done to it to support 11.1s. Gearbox was upgraded, piston has metal teeth is memory serves me right with a gate titan v2 as well. If the 11.1's do cause a damage, it's just an excuse to get more work done to it.

So, minor update. I have a working AEG (The Krytac CRB) and I've charged one of the two 11.1 LiPo's I have, will charge the other. I have a working pistol (Armourer Works Hi-Capa, I forgot the brand before). All 4 mags have gas seals that are holding. I guess I might try half a day somewhere on Sunday to ease myself back into things.

Tic tac box worked for me for a couple years. Never had any issues. Also allowed me to easily get 1 or 2 out at a time even with gloves on as my TRMR has the multi shot base (I've never used used the standard single shot one)

I'm not fully decided on committing but it's in the mind. As for the AEGs, they will probably work with a fully charged battery but I'd prefer to get them at least cleaned and regreased beforehand. For a working set, my Hi Capa is seemingly working, I'd have to check my KSG gas tanks as they always seemed to do well. All the seals on the Glock mags are shot though. The biggest job is my CRB, its been worked on by several people and had all sorts done to it. I don't remember exactly what internals except for a Prometheus 6.03 barrel, a CNC Maxx Hop Unit (I think it was a Pro or something) and metal gears. It might have a motor but no idea. I used to run .28s and even with no hop that thing overhopped something fierce, so much so that I often had to turn it to a side or upside down to make the shot at short ranges. I only played CQC and I would probably go back to that first.

So I've been out of the game for some time (transport, work and mental health takes a toll) and I'm moving house soon and with a new fixed work rota, I'll have my weekends available once more on a regular basis. I've been toying with the idea of getting back into the game as while it wasn't the best for the health of my wallet, it was alright for the health of my body (minus the scars). Everything has been sat for over a year or two so desperately needs work, alongside a couple of RIFs needing some more major work doing to them. Anyone have any recommendations for people that are willing to take on a pretty large order? Time scale isn't too important but obviously I don't want to be waiting a year for it. Gun list (Might have brands wrong, lots of my knowledge has vanished) AEG Krytac SDP Krytac CRB (Heavily modified, needs further work. It overhops .28's with no hop applied) PTS RM4 ERG Ronin AK-47 derivative (Not sure, box says 'Blade of Ronin' and '6841C'. Never used) Tokyo Marui AA-12 (This thing absolutely chewed through batteries when I used it. Like 8 in one day of CQB) CA P90 (Cheap thing, unused for like 4 years minimum) Gas Tokyo Marui KSG-12 (DTD M4 Mag adaptor installed) GBB Pistol 2x WE-T Gen 3 Glock 17 WE M92A1 Hi-Capa (Brand unsure) NBB Pistol HFC MK23 (Potentially broken trigger/hammer mechanism) Magazines Something like 8x standard WE Glock 17 Mags 8x Double length WE Glock 17 Mags (Twin pistol days are fun okay) 2 or 3x TM KSG-12 gas tanks 2 I think MK23 mags 4 Hi-Capa mags (Actually tested, those things were holding gas after sitting unused for like 2 years. Godly seals) Potentially mag springs in AEG/AA-12 box and 1x drum mag 3 P90 mags all need work There's potentially something I've missed here but if I ever work through the stash and organise, I'd probably find it.

When I was playing, the good old tic tac box worked wonders. This one has sat in my cupboard for over a year hence the discolouration. I do hope the primers are still good, I'm considering getting back into the sport.

Getting back into the game, I bought one of these today, https://www.bespokeairsoft.co.uk/golden-eagle/golden-eagle-ak-tactical-carbine-aeg-full-metal-inc-bat-charger-black-6841c and I'm looking at midcaps for it. Do I need to try and find G.E specific mags or would Say the E&L Midcaps fit? Also just some general mag recommendations? I don't mind spending a bit more to get solid mags that'll work for a long time.

So for the first time in quite a while (about 4 months) I've been able to get ALL of my RIFs at home at the same time and all in working order. So it called for a little photo because why not. Gun list is as follows: PTS Magpul RM4 ERG Scout (In the case) Tokyo Marui AA-12 Shotgun Krytac MK2 Trident CRB Krytac Alpha SDP (No adjustable stock on mine) Classic Army P90 TR WE Gen 3 G17 with WET lightened slides (2*. One in case, Silver outer barrel, one on bed, Gold outer barrel) ASG MK23 WE M9 Biohazard Most of it works, some don't work so well and will take time. My playstyle means the AA-12 isn't practical as I fire way too much for the batteries to handle (8.4v NI-MH's simply overheat and stop working) The CA P90 is a pile of plastic dog sh*t. My Krytac CRB has been modified with a Prometheus 6.03 Tight Bore Barrel, S-Hop and recently had the gearbox rebuilt alongside a new piston but for some reason is only firing at 260FPS with a .2g bb so that's something to look at. It does overhop .28's though which is funny, even with zero hop dialled in. The MK23 doesn't get a lot of love as I still haven't found a decent holster for it that won't break the barrel.

Would this be my best bet then? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/iMAX-B5-B6-Balance-For-Acer-BenQ-LCD-Monitor-Power-Supply-Charger-ADAPTER-New-UK/321943081214?

So I bought an iMax B6 charger but didn't realise it didn't come with the power supply. The manual says to use a 60W switching power supply but trying to find one on google gives me a lot of crap. Who has a B6 and what power supply do you use?

So I'm an idiot with too much money and not enough responsibilities who fancied a Glock. So I bought a WE G Series.

My wallet has taken a pounding yet again yet it's all to make my life so much easier. My recent haul is two things. 1* Odins Innovation M12 Sidewinder 1* TRMR E1 Grenade 1* TRMR E1 Multi-shot base 100* .209 primers I can now make things go bang and reload my recent PTS EPM's much faster!

Took a little trip out to Patrol Base on my bike today. Nearly 40 miles of Motorway in the baking heat and holy sh*t the junction of the M60 and M61 needs a MASSIVE rework because that was a sh*t show. Anyway, I took my faulty ASG Tracer Unit and even without the packaging, got it replaced for no cost with a brand new one. Also picked up 5 EPM PTS magazines, a couple of Picatinny keymod rails and a vertical foregrip for my CRB. Should get to use them on Sunday and I'll see how they work on in a CQB setting.

Well I'm marshalling at my site on Sunday but I'll take it with me to play with at Lunch and make sure everything works.

So to follow on from my previous post in which I bought my Krytac CRB, I bought a new attachment for it and some new batteries. Say hello to my new ASG Tracer Unit! Of course, a tracer unit would be pointless without some tracer ammo! So I went for some G&G Red Tracers. Most use green, I wanna use red! Also, stocking up on some normal .2's because I'm damn near out.

So following this thread, I had the pleasure of dealing with OceanQI and bought his Krytac MKII CRB. So here it is!

Just something simple this time, a 'Minidiva 551', basically a knock-off Eotech. £30 or so from Amazon and it feels nice and weighty, nice clear sight. But it uses some f*cking bizarre tiny button cells. LR44 cells

I've posted this in another thread but might as well post it here. This is my Krytac SDP painted by Ben Franklin, owner of Invasion Armouries (Formerly Trojan Armouries). Following how much I loved the paint job, and the timing in that I was interested in buying a HFC MK23, I got said MK23 in a matching paint scheme.

Speaking of mk23's. Would an ASG MK23 do just fine or is it worth the premium to get a TM MK23 for CQB settings?
