Or did you think you were participating in the 'Philadelphia Experiment'? ? So what happened? A good trip I assume... ?

Welcome Harvem, Anything mass produced in the East can have QC issues. My SpecnaArms SA-E03 is amazing so I got lucky I guess. Sounds like you have a preference for the CYMA looks so go for that one. CYMA are one of the best budget makers so you should be fine. If it does have a problem then contact the shop for a replacement. First thing to do when you get a new gat is to clean the barrel. Often overlooked but there is almost always a load of crap in there from the factory.

Nice but I prefer the classic tiger stripe ? I just want an impression loadout without spending silly money on exact detail. The shirt, pants, boots and webbing cost me £61 ? And its not the only loadout I have... More to follow... ?

Got my MACV SOG (ish) loadout sorted. (I know webbing isn't right but close enough for me ?) And a choice of weapons ? Yes, the XM177 look is spoiled by the A2 upper but I'd rather have the lovely recoil of the Lonex BAW than the correct details ?

Its an AEG with their BAW recoil system (Orange plug). (Not to be confused with the black plug version which has weaker recoil) Needs 11.1v to run and it has decent kick https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXCy8qvgxNs I might do a video of it

Lonex M4A1 BAW (Added XM177 flash hider) I LOVE this thing! The kick along with the sound is actually quite scary. (I just hope it lasts a while)

Add it to the list with the Browning Hi-Powers ?

Nice ? ....but.... That box is the size of two gunz...? ?

Jeez, some people just don't take care of their gear ?

Imagine if it accidentally fell off the table or something...? Tens of thousands of BB's gone in an instant ?

This one too https://airsoftranch.com/uk-airsoft-map/ I prefer a large scale map that you can zoom in to find your area.

Finally sorted out my A&K LR300 Good deal from Titano Store for £165 but needed some tlc to get it working well. (Was shooting 260fps way right and some of the screws were completely wrong type) M100 spring, Maple leaf macaron, reshim including motor height set on half shell, bearing guide and now shoots 320 dead straight ?

New interpretation of 'Shoot your mouth off' ?

Well, since I had a few springs lying around I finally decided to making a spring power measuring device... Using a luggage scale you hold and pull on the orange hose fitting up to the orange line (piston length). The scale holds the measurement so you can read it when it beeps. Takes a few goes to get an average reading but I compared readings of known spring strengths with a friend who uses a slightly different method and our readings do correlate. I will try to find an M10 bolt that only has threading at the top to make the pull smoother.

Yep, I think the key thing is to avoid the stores using UPS (for now)

I don't want to rub salt into the wounds but to give a glimmer of hope that all is not doom and gloom ordering from Europe now. I took a chance and ordered a rare RIF from an unknown site in Italy called TITANO-STORE Ordered: Monday 15th. No confirmation email ? Wed 17th. Asked for update. They replied it would go in afternoon. Not feeling confident Thursday 18th. Got email just with DHL tracking number. Estimated delivery 24th Today 22nd Surprise package arrives ? No extra fees to pay!!! So I would recommend Titano-Store from my limited experience. ...and what did I get...? https://www.titano-store.com/en/c/airsoft-c28617/rifles-displayed-by-model-c28842/lr300-c29132/lr300-full-metal-aandk-lr300-p939142 £165 including delivery EDIT: While the delivery was good, the rifle itself is not so good. Looks like someone has been in it and messed up a few screws. I didn't ask for any power adjustment and they didn't mention any so I suspect its a dodgy return they had and passed on to me. Not going to bother returning.

I like looking at my wall and thinking... 'Oh, I didn't remember I had one of those' ? Old age helps ?

Duno about labelling them tho ? Is that so you remember what you've got and where they go? ?

Yeah, I wonder how difficult the forms are to fill out and process. That's really the only hard part about bringing a vanload back.

Yeah, You might be there explaining for a long time if the inspector has no idea of airsoft

I wonder what would happen if customs pull you over for random inspection with a load of rifs? I guess if you have a UKARA/site membership card you'd be OK but would they demand receipts and a tax payment?

Adding to the good Doctor, the loadout looks good for winter but you'll die of heat when it warms up. The XR5 is a good shooter. (based on an M4)

Looks cool but I'd guess quite a few sites wouldn't allow em

I'm still hopeful that importing from EU will stabilise and be simplified in future. Brexit on top of Covid has disrupted everything really badly. Since November I'm still waiting for parts from KYAirsoft who say they're still waiting for a shipment from WE. This is also affecting UK retailers who obviously have very low stock at the moment. Things will get better... We have EVERYTHING to look forward to
