  1. Still waiting on a pre order. Was told Jan, then it was cancelled and a new supplier gave assurances they'd deliver in Feb... no regular updates or reaching out. Last time I use that site.

      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?

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

  2. I like lurking on this forum, but my god, people "scamming" and the bots are rife. Something needs to be done before users get too annoyed 😒

      @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.

  4. Speed loader for TM mk18 GBBR? Lips are so tight i can barely get BBs in with a regular speed loader.

      @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

       

    3. C-Diddy

      C-Diddy

      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.

  5. Recommendations for a holster for g17 WET, light bearing and tracer please? nothing that costs £90

    1. SSPKali

      SSPKali

      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?

  6. I need to cut some of this plastic off, what's the best way? I can't fit my tracer through the hoke so my pistol holster doesn't work currently

      Thanks @ziCk_. I think I'm going to go down the route of either an Mp9, ICS PDW9, or maybe the arp556. Unless I can find something else that tickles my fancy. Nearly bought an evo again, decided not to. Want a glock, but they are annoying when it comes to tracers etc. 

       

      Also, none of my friends have a ukara number either 

    3. ziCk_

      ziCk_

      ICS PDW9 is great feel but it cycles twice on 11.1v on weak spring (complying with UK limits) so gotta run it at 7.4v. It's definitely not worth the money but damn it feels premium and looks super cool. It's more of "I want that gun" rather than "it's great piece of kit for the money". Don't get me wrong, I love it to bits but ARP9 just blows it out of the water when it comes to raw performance (and size, and weight, and drum magazine... I'm thinking about getting another ARP9 drum, butchering it and adapting for PDW9... look I normally hate hi-caps and the rattle and winding but ARP drum is just perfection). I'm surprised you've got rid of Scorpion - I mean, I've played around with it, borrowed from one of the guys that attends the field and as soon as I can afford it and someone sells grey one second hand I will grab one for myself. It's absolutely perfect in every way (I get that need to press slide release on reload might be annoying if one is not used to it tho). If you really want that ICS I will say go for it but I feel like ARP556 offers better value, also it's available in stock which can't be said about ICS products sadly... - it is butt ugly tho :P

       

      Oh are you in the market for a pistol as well? My 3 favourite pistols I recommend to everyone and activelly use (I have a WE Glock 17 too but I rarely use it.. used it before got AAP-01 because of cheap extended magazines available):


      1) AAP-01 (this is the best looking Glock... because it looks like Ruger Mk.IV xD)

      2) CZ P-09 (pretty much no customisation whatsoever but it just works out of the box and over many years never had any issues with them... I own 2 now, because wanted one in grey as well :D)

      3) CZ Shadow 2 (it's just marvelous, perfect copy of competition gun but again, no aftermarket parts... not that you need them - one of best pistols out of the box IMHO, the only thing it really lacks are extended magazines)

      CZs can be ran both on CO2 (after 1st shot it's within fps limit) and Green Gas so it's perfect for this cold climate.

      I've had an evo before. It was the BET version, it put me off. The 2020 revision version seems better, but it just feels like a gun that everybody says is great, once you spend money on it.

      Here ya go bud, I asked a friend who lives in japan now and he got me a link for the tech specs for the gun

      https://www.tokyo-marui.co.jp/pdf/p_pdfmanual_191002135552.pdf

      It’s in Japanese of course but it does give length in English I did scroll through the pdf and at the bottom it does give two different lengths 97mm & 112mm 

      97mm for 6mm BB’S and 112mm for 9mm for real ammo
