  1. Same happened to me with the same letter you received, had UKARA on it and all. Mine was seized as part of a random search. Contact BF over the phone with whatever number you can rustle up. Get the name of the officer whos dealing with your case. State that you have a valid UKARA number and that it should be written on the box, give them the number over the phone. It could take a couple of months but I got my Real Sword T97 eventually. If you've done nothing wrong then there shouldn't be a problem.
  2. It is indeed. I'll be one of the first to go 🙂
  3. Grabbed a Guarder 2019 Outer Barrel. I am going to dremel cuts into the holes that weaken the Hop unit and essentially turn it into a Maple Leaf design one which addresses a big weakness in the design. 5KU DTK-2 SHS G36 Hop Unit
  4. After years of wanting one. I finally got it 🙂
  5. Sadly I will be in the South West at that point. Have a good time all!
  6. Picked up a Gearcraft Altyn Repro helmet for 50 quid. Really hope it fits my noggin!
  7. CM.102 Electric Shotgun [CYMA] (taiwangun.com) Wow. Wonder what the price is on that. 330FPS too! (Edit: 300 USD) Would have preferred an AA12 myself.
  8. I have been trying to get a matching set of Belgian Jigsaw, in my size, same gen and not washed out for the past 3 years. Nothing! I have two F2000's that dont get used so much because of it!
  9. Ordered a matching M83 Alpenflage shirt to match the Trousers I got the other day. Plus a Molle Holster for odd pistols that I can find a retention holster.
  10. King arms pdw - Electric Rifles - Airsoft Forums UK (airsoft-forums.uk) This guys new and been posting a bunch of stuff for sale that is new. But either the same price or higher then it is new. (Tried to sell a new WE F226/8 for the same price you can get from Patrol Base, but doesn't offer shipping). King Arms PDW 9mm SBR Shorty - Dark Earth (socomtactical.net) £145 here and they offer postage and a warranty
  11. There is a classifieds section. You cannot sell here. Also you can get it brand new from PB with warranty for the same money and can get it posted for extra. WE Europe - F226 E1 MK25 Gas Blowback Pistol (patrolbase.co.uk)
  12. Dont suppose you have the M60 or MK43 outer barrel do you? :D

      Oh man sadly I don't, I just have a bunch of spare parts I replaced on my main 60, sorry for the bummer pal!

  13. They like to separate rifles into two separate packages, check your orders page to see if there is a second tracking number. Otherwise email them direct for the second tracking number. With my PPS XM26, they disassembled it over 2 packages which arrived within days of eachother.
  14. Because Airsoft is full of smashing glass and walking through open flames I decided to purchase a Russian KMPP Anti-Cut suit. It's like an oven made of my own body heat.

  15. Finally got my Gunfire refund so ordered some bits from HK. 4x 5 PPS Shotgun shells G&G M100 Spring SHS G36 Hop unit Made another order from mother Russia. KMPP Anti-Cut/Anti-Fire suit. SSO/SPOSN Parachutist Izlom Suit X Hatch Knee and Elbow pads Strike Omega 2010 Pistol mag pouch and soft belt.
  16. We couldn't reasonably answer that question without an in-depth parts list. I severely doubt you are hitting out at 125 metres. Let alone killing with a single shot. I have two sniper rifles upgraded to the gads and they barely make 100 metres at our Joules.
  17. Hello all you fine lads and ladies. (If I may be so self indulgent to put this message here and call my humble site reviews "News".) Last week was my 4th anniversary starting Airsoft. 6 months after that I started doing the site reviews. It's been a wild ride as much as one can be just writing walls of indecipherable text with questionable grammar. I have had some good times visiting so many different sites. I believe I have now visited 42 sites in the South East (Only one of which I haven't yet posted a review on as I would like to revisit). I have received many thanks for the reviews and plaudits on the forum as well as direct criticisms in the form of PM's and Emails from site regulars and owners. I have been told on multiple occasions how aware sites are about the reviews and are all quaking in their boots for when I make my visit ;). I have been invited to new sites multiple times for my feedback on how to improve the gaming experience. I was also approached by a large online Airsoft news site to write reviews for them on the regular (Sadly they never got back to me after I said I would love to write for them, but only on the proviso that I could still post them on AFUK and that I wouldn't let anyone edit or tone down my honest opinions). So you are probably wondering why I am making this post! It's time to bring the reviews to a close... Sort of. As fun as it is visiting lots of different sites, @Albiscuit and myself will start prioritising revisiting sites that we have loved to have some good game days under our belt. Whilst I am not in it for the fame, women or backhanders, I have seen the readership, views and feedback getting less and less prevalent over time. Due to that I am finding it harder to start typing out walls of texts until I get so bored I have to force myself to do it! There are also frankly very few sites left to visit that you can say are actually in the South East. Compound that with the fact I don't drive, many of the ones left are relatively inaccessible to me without a lift. Basically, I am a scrub and I want to start going to a small number of sites more regularly, get good at layouts and get to know some regulars and maybe join a loose set of players in a "Team" or something equally cringe. I will also be taking some time out down in Devon and Cornwall for personal reasons starting from August ending in October. I may play a couple of times down there as well. But it's not set in stone... This doesn't mean there wont be anymore new reviews (Watch out for ZMart, Incursion tunnels and Tower Airsoft coming up) but I will be writing them sporadically, to the point I may just stop. I really appreciate all of the support you guys have given me, even though many of you don't live in the SE! Special thanks goes to my initial Battlebuddy who helped me get to places and @Albiscuitpicking up where he left off. Without you I would never of got to see so many of these places! If there are any sites you haven't seen a review of and would like me or someone else to review at some point please comment. Below are a list of sites that are still yet to be visited.

  18. Site Name: Absolute Airsoft Contact details: 01628 474 756 Website Address: https://www.absolute-airsoft.co.uk/ Facebook Page: Absolute Airsoft | Facebook Site Address: Jacksons Lane, RG4 7EE Hello all! @Albiscuit and I trundled to Absolute Airsoft near Reading. One that has been put off for a while due to the long distance from our respective hovels. It's barely in the South East. I had heard mixed to negative things about the site ahead of time. Allegedly run by/affiliated with Special Airsoft Supplies who have been accused of as scammers and even have a Facebook group dedicated to warning people against buying from them. Someone also got shot and lost his eye in the safe zone back in 2016. We popped along on 16/06/2021. It was destined to be a very hot day at 27 degrees which turned out to be an overstatement. Luckily it was a little cooler at 21 degrees. Absolute Airsoft is a Medium sized Woodland site. (Claims to be 150 Acres, but Apoc in Kent is 200 acres and is by far much larger). For the most part it is flat but with a significant hill used in the first couple of games. There are 5 distinct areas that were used on the day, the aforementioned hill, a typical medium height foliage area with an under-construction oversized shed, an open clearing with battlements, a low grassland/fern area with a Kill-house plonked in the middle of it and lastly a small village area near some classic woodland. There was a mix of short/medium/long distance engagements. Good: Value: Good value at £25 for the day including a free hot dog or pizza for lunch. Turn around time: Very good. To the point that I was struggling to get loaded up after taking a breather to get back out for the next game. They do push you to play. Safety Brief: Covered everything. Took it seriously. Told people to shut it if they talked over it. Little in the way of gallows humour. Marshalling: There were enough marshals to cover for the day. I found they were hands off (In a good way). Encouraging, but didn't have to intervene that much. There were two incidences of injuries due to trips and falls and the marshals were right on it. Calling ceasefires and getting the injured out of the way. Shop: Quite a bit on offer, Lots of Rifles in Cabin. Didn't take a close look myself. Al picked up some BBs of somewhat questionable looking quality, they seemed to work ok though. Safe Zone Safety: Very on point and laudable. I imagine due to the incident in the safe zone in times past, they have to stick with what they do. They insist on Barrel socks on everything whilst in the safe zone (Which they sell in the shop for £3 a time, sadly they don't advertise the need for a barrel sock on the website so we were a bit out of pocket on the day) If you have no barrel sock or cant use one (Wont fit on one of my rifles) then they have to be left in the game zone. There are rigorous checks of mags out whilst coming back into safe zone. Pistols have to be either holstered or racked back and on safety on whilst out of holster. Very good to see. Average: Playing Area: It was "Good", there were five distinct zones as already described. The Kill-house and village area were quite fun, if somewhat unremarkable. It is refreshing to see a massive open area... However I felt that the areas used were just a little too open, very little medium/tall cover to hide behind. Little opportunity to flank as the marshals insisted on narrow game areas or when it was more wide open they used areas where you would be seen sneaking up fairly easily. Considering there was a high turnout of over 100 players, I would have preferred a larger game zone in play. Safe Zone: Safe zone was perfectly fine. Lots of the seating under cover, it was quite cramped for the over 100 in attendance and it was incredibly difficult to socially distance. Picnic tables were quite small and suited two to a table with any comfort. Car park was right next to Safe zone. Hit taking: I didn't experience any massively bad hit taking bar the usual one or two questionable individuals. I did hear a lot of grumbling from people on my team though. Car Park/Entrance: Dirt/Gravel Car Park right off a long mostly unmarked road. The only sign leading to Absolute is the one at the entrance of the Car Park. Follow your Sat-Nav and you'll find it. Its a big enough car park for even the 100 or so players. Toilets: Two/Three Porta-loos. I went to the loo at the end of the day, didn't smell that bad considering. Clientele: Very young clientele, lots of casual players and rentals. Interspersed with grizzled veterans. Did the usual chat with some new players. I was a bit disappointed in some of the players smoking under the shelters in the safe zone despite being told more then once not to. The smell was quite overbearing at times. Food: Al and I asked for Cheese and Tomato Pizza rather then Hot Dog on the ticket purchase, Al being Veggie and I don't eat pork. However the receipt stated that we had chosen Hot Dog. We explained to the marshal when we got there, yet there were no spare pizzas. Though it turned out the Hot Dogs were Chicken so I had Al's as well. The hot dog was perfectly OK. I felt sorry for Al though. Bad: Chrono: Despite all of the attention devoted to safety, checking for mags out, barrels socks on everything etc. There was no Chrono testing AT ALL. No testing at the beginning of the day, no Chrono setup so we could self test during the day and I didn't see anyone get tested on the field. Pretty sure there were a few people running hot on the day too. Why go to all the effort of putting in all these safety measures, but at least not make a token effort of testing for joules? Disappointing. Conclusion: So this was an odd one in some ways. The Playing area is... Fine, I believe it could be used better and it didn't feel like 150 acres. Despite the many positives and almost no Negatives, we didn't get much of a good feeling from the site. We found the day either somewhat boring or frustrating to play. "Meh" being the operative word for it. A Local site for local people. Does nothing different to many other woodland sites that we play with no unique feature. I laud the place for it's Safety inside the safe zone. But the Chrono situation is unforgivable, you can argue all you want that people can change springs and bb weights after chrono. But you have to at least be seen to make an effort that you take overpowered guns seriously. Bullpup Watch: L85, SRS HTTI, SRS Silverback, PDRC Best Guess Map:
  19. Not sure about Aldershot, but yes to the Cobham Campaign site.
  20. The Grach is another choice. But like the Makarov and TT it has real weaknesses. The G17 is your best bet.
  21. Might I suggest Tower for the next one? 😄
  22. The trigger pull doesn't bother me at all so I didn't bother. With the motor and mosfet upgrades its very snappy as it is.
