From ParcelForce website Arms and Ammunition All firearms, other than low-powered air weapons sent within the UK (air rifles, air guns and air pistols), including imitations and antiques; paint-ball or toy guns; taser guns; components of firearms and all other items similar to, or resembling, the foregoing are prohibited. All ammunition other than lead pellets and other air gun and airsoft projectiles is also prohibited. 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, and presented at the counter Enhanced compensation cover is not available Yes No The 'Yes' 'No' on the right is for UK=Yes International=No ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- RoyalMail UK - Allowed in the mail, see restrictions and packaging guidelines below: Guns intended for sporting purposes - including Section 1 (e.g. hunting rifles) and Section 2 (e.g. shotguns) firearms, low-powered air weapons and their component parts - may be sent in compliance with UK law and subject to domestic controls on the possession of firearms. Antiques, deactivated and imitation firearms are also permitted. When sending deactivated firearms include proof of deactivation. Items that appear to be prohibited weapons may be subject to additional checks and delays. Use 1st Class as the minimum service.The senders name and address must be clear on the packaging. Low-powered air weapons which exceed the Royal Mail size restrictions are accepted by Parcelforce Worldwide, using express48 via the Post Office. Guns must not be loaded. Air weapons with an integral gas cylinder that are de-pressurised can only be accepted. Air weapons with gas cylinders that are pressurised are prohibited Air weapons with a pressurised removable gas cylinder which is still attached are prohibited Must be packed in rigid outer packaging suitable for the gun size and weight, for example a fibreboard box, with sufficient inner packaging to prevent movement during transport. So you might be OK with RoyalMail but depends on the knowledge of the particular handler. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As an example for other carriers, MyHermes lists this under prohibited items: Weapons and replica weapons – Including decorative, deactivated or air powered weapons

Supply/Retail companies have deals with delivery firms so a company sending products is a different situation to public sending the same product. ParcelForce48 is the only carrier that will officially take a replica. With any other service there's a risk of it being destroyed if discovered.

Not heard of them before but their reviews on Google and Facebook are good.

Ah yeah, all good then 👍

Having a MOSFET isn't the deciding factor. If the manufacturer says it can run on 11.1 then its fine.

It looks great but so awkward 😉 @Parramoom, These are the cheapest/closest coveralls I can find with a hood. https://gsworkwear.com/products/portwest-bizweld-hooded-coverall-biz6?variant=8930220671019 -
Generally its not recommended to use 11.1v in an AEG unless its specified to do so such as with recoils or some MOSFET editions. If you've been using 11.1v for a while and you're not concerned about longevity then yes, you can use the higher capacity battery.

Ammo tin is good and solid 👍 Could use a biscuit tin perhaps. Not something that is sealed so it can release vented gases in case of a fire.

I believe the SAS suits were dark blue not black -
I haven't. Just put the battery on a baking tray

I hope you checked that your AEG can take 11.1v 7.4v is the standard If your Li-Po charger has a Li-Ion setting then 'yes', otherwise 'no'. I know the 'SkyRC iMax B6' can but they're hard to find now. (Beware of copies) Look for SkyRC Search the forum for more info

Welcome! Yep, to combat bots and encourage participation you need to have a certain number of posts to unlock certain things like the classifieds. (Not sure how many but I guess 10 or so) Have a look around and comment in a few threads. You get to the required number before you know it.

Looking for a good pistol electric or had any suggestions?
EDcase replied to RT2235's topic in Guns, Gear & Loadouts
Why, can't shoot straight? 🤣 -
The law states that a buyer of a RIF must be over 18 and have a valid defence. This is done by retailers with 'defences' such as UKARA, Reenactment Society membership, Museum Curator, Film/TV production. For private sales its the sellers responsibility to ensure the buyer is a legitimate airsofter. You can sell to anyone (if you think they are legit) BUT if that person then commits a crime with the RIF then it can come back to you being prosecuted depending on the gravity of the crime. (Has there been a case of a seller being prosecuted?)

Help from the experienced about purchasing a M1A1 THOMSON
EDcase replied to Zach's topic in General Help
Depends how much you can afford. The most common will be the CYMA CM033 which it quite good for the price. Note that only the top half is metal even though they may say all metal body. Still feels good. You can buy real wood version or get a wood kit to put on. There is also a TM version which I think also metal upper only but not sure on that one. Then the most expensive and hard to find are the WE / CYBERGUN GBBR versions. All metal but fake wood in most. Search for video reviews -
Could argue that its a licence to kill 😉 Bendan, No particular place has everything. Patrolbase and FireSupport are good but google what you want and when you find it see if there's a review of the shop in the forum.

Ah yes, I saw they had them but in CW thread. -
The 'What have you just bought' Thread
EDcase replied to Cameron364's topic in Guns, Gear & Loadouts
Out of curiosity, where'd you get it? -
Its likely a problem with the actuator bar, safety selector or contacts. Hopefully no need to get in the gearbox.
