@gavinkempsellMiniatures or just Warhammer? Honestly, I didn't think I'd get in to it. There are some really cool miniatures available, particularly now with 3d printing. It took me about 6 hours to complete

Anything that small painted by hand, I never had the patience to paint my airfix models... even before carpal tunnel set in.

Had a great collection of grey, fawn & blue models as a kid.

Yeah that's understandable. I actually fond it really relaxing. There are some very big models that require less detail 

The blowtorch/heatgun is good, but can also melt pot metal. It's how I got my dummy suppressor to only unscrew at one end 😳

use a hairdrier... not too hot but hot enough.

Thanks all. @gavinkempsellthat worked, thanks

I ordered a railed dustcover from DCA with an estimated delivery time of 14-30 days and it was a real nightmare until it just randomly turned up one day - are you a lot of money in or is it just a part?

@pyromancer6a vector gbb 👀

@Robert James I think the guys at Alpha Delta have them although not on the website

@Rogerborg @Colin Allen

So I had a long text written and then decided to log out and try to create a new account to see something but it's been disabled 🤷‍♂️ and it didn't copy.

Anyway, there are many suggestions on the forum suggestions thread/feedback as to how it can managed more efficiently. I understand nothing will be 100%. 

On some discord servers you have to physically click a button to then be able to access the threads/rooms available, on Facebook you have to answer questions before you can join. I am sure that forum permissions would allow something similar.

My original post was not a dig at the mods, they do a great job. However looking at the forum suggestions thread, it appears things are being done in the background by the admin. Would have been good to have a thread about it or an update, but that's beside the point.

And Colin, I've offered to help before when i didn't have shift work and was very active on the forum. I dont think the answer is "more" mods personally. Furthermore, I understand scammers are on every site, I wasn't born yesterday, but again, like the above suggestions, anyone could sign up post a picture of a gun and sell it to an unsuspecting player with no real way of stopping them short of banning them after the fact. 

If you understand that scammers are on every site, why complain in such a dramatic manner about people scamming on this site?  Scamming seems to be far more widespread on other sites.

The measures that can be put in place are dependent on the software the site runs on; I suspect that it does not have the functionality to put the sort of measures that you suggest in place.  If it does, they would probably have been implemented by now.


 

@Colin Allen - barely "dramatic" but, thats your opinion, just like i gave mine. Thats what a forum is for, opinions and ideas etc. So i can give mine in which ever way i wish. "Dramatically" or to suggest that something (anything) should be done. 

A very quick glance on Google shows there is a way to do Q&A on registration and forum posts/thread listing vs how many posts said person has made. Or perhaps under 100 posts starting a thread in classifieds has to be "looked at" first. It runs off of IPB software which has been around for years and that's just two/three suggestions. Not saying they will work, but it's something rather than nothing.

As Jedi said, the admin has stopped registrations and is currently looking at what the next/best process is for spam etc. 

I like the forum spam and scam free, as much as it can be, and it's frustrating to see it be used to scam on. 

Ahoy, good to see you back. What did you not just buy?

@Rogerborg I did not just pre order the krytac vector, rushed on here to tell the vector man himself but he appears to have vanished 😪

Ahhh... good old airsoft for you.. back a day and it's already rinsing the piggy bank 😂

I don't know you, but welcome back mate! 👍🏼

@Groot So i got this today, still really difficult to load BBs. Im guessing ill just need to keep using it and keep using it to "weaken" the spring in the mag

They will be stiff for a while  ut that is the best speedloader to use.

Just try tilting the speedloader slightly as you use it. Should be a little easier.

I refer you to my previous comment

MWS mags are dicks 

I have used a FOBUS holster for my WE G19 with an Olight on it. Held the pistol nicely but wasn't the quickest to draw or re-holster (depends how much of a gun slinger you are!) 

£30-35 depending on belt fitting. https://www.tactical-kit.co.uk/fobus-glock-17-light-bearing-holster-rbt17-12799-p.asp

Thanks @SSPKali, although it appears a tracer wouldnt fit as it looks sealed at the end?

Bugger, missed that part! Ignore me…
