Interesting thanks Fatboy40 I bet the rabbit hole becomes a warren with unofficial supply deals between them.

The WE Katanas are in HongKong and won't ship to UK 🙄

Golden Eagle is JG Works I suspect Double Eagle are related but haven't found anything concrete on that.

Yep, the general advice is to use it until something breaks or you notice a particular component underperforming.

I don't see any you should avoid. I'm happy with my SpecnaArmsEdge but some people have reported problems with them. I tend to think G&G are expensive for what you get but they are highly regarded by many. Not heard of Saigo Defense but you can't buy from iwholesales anyway (Unless you managed to set up an account with them) Best to get some hands-on before considering the Para-Aug. Its quite back heavy and takes some getting used to. Have a look at the JG range as they make good low cost polymer guns that shoot quite well. CYMA also make decent budget (lighter) guns As BigStew mentioned, consider an MP5 or similar sub-machinegun. Shorter barrels in airsoft do not determine max range as they do in real weapons. There is some correlation between length and range but there are many factors that affect the range apart from barrel length.

Wow, that's surprising as Daves are usually quite pricy. Sorry Jacob but you may have to reduce the price a bit...

Makes me want to laugh and cry at the same time 😀😫😀😫😀😫 Good luck Jacob 👍 Probably a good time to sell as its out of stock in most of UK.

The CM045a from Gunfire would be £164.63 inc VAT & delivery (GLS)

Just came across this which states the same thing I said earlier. https://www.kingdomofairsoft.com/postage-guidelines They also assume we can classify airsoft guns as 'Low-powered air weapons' “Arms and Ammunition - low powered air weapons Low-powered air weapons (air rifles, air guns and air pistols), together with lead pellets and other airgun and airsoft projectiles, can be sent but are subject to the following conditions: These items must be sent on an express48 service only These items must be sent via the Post Office only Enhanced compensation cover is not available”

Yep, I suppose the distances involved would affect the air seal far more than the feed mechanics.

Oh, I understand. Yeah, I guess that could work but may cause feeding problems. I had a slightly hot (+~12fps)JG SA58. I did a quick pull on the trigger in auto a few times until I got it to stop mid cycle then left it like that for a few weeks. It works but takes some time of course.

Errrr, what?

Sounds like you know what you're doing 😉 Post pics when done 👍

Interesting review. Pity about the lack of chrono.

Welcome mate 👍 Sounds like you're well stuck in already 😁 Not been to Dogtag but heard generally good things 😉 Plenty of tips, tricks and trash on the forum 😏

Welcome 👍 A little secret... I'm also in my 50s

I think someone on the forum posted that they had a problem with an import because one digit of the UKARA was wrong so I guess they do check at least sometimes 🤔

Yeah, I was a bit rough with the minimum time for doing the 3 games but at the two sites I obtained and renewed my UKARA it was at their discretion. I do wonder if border farce actually check them properly or just look for a common format.

No experience myself but the only other G3 I know of is the JG one. Maybe compare pics if you haven't already. I presume the problem is that the mags don't sit high enough to activate the BB catch at the top of the feed tube? Maybe some electrical tape around the top part to make a tighter fit in the magwell? Just found this: Or this one:

Yeah, fogging also depends on climate conditions too.

Nicely integrated set up. Might be a bit wide with cheek weld aiming sightline in some cases.

A friend of mine (@Baiok) bought a RIF from TaiwanGun and had it shipped to his family in Italy then they arranged shipping to UK 😄 Cost him about the same as buying from UK but if its not available here then it makes sense.

Yeah could be but should be easy to check connector colours going to motor. Its sounding more like it could be a dying or underpowered battery.

Could be anti-reversal latch not fitted correctly. Or shimming may be too tight. When you say you can turn the gears with a screwdriver, how far around can you turn them? You should be able to slowly do a full fire cycle with some effort. Open it up, take out the main spring, then put the gearbox back together and see if you can turn the gears to complete a full cycle. Its worth checking the shimming while its open anyway.

Its really at the discretion of the site. If he can keep a record of the game dates he can ask them once he's done the three. Its supposed to be with a 3 month period but that will likely be ignored because of the covid thing.
