Welcome Yeah, unfortunately things are quite bad at the moment. Eastern production having been affected by Covid for the last year and a bit, shipping disruptions and Brexit issues importing means that stock is very low everywhere and most European suppliers will not deliver to UK anymore. You can order direct from Eastern retailers but shipping is expensive and long. Same situation on parts. Best option right now is find something you like in a UK retailer and make sure its from a well known make but many parts are also in short supply.

I just got one and noticed that it takes some wiggling to get the slide back on because the spring guide gets stuck on the frame in the lower. (Not very well designed) PM me if you need more info.

Welcome Tony No suggestions for clothing except google

Its the AM-014 model https://www.defconairsoft.co.uk/product/ares-amoeba-honey-badger-014-airsoft-rifle-black/

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

Ah yes, I saw they had them but in CW thread.

Out of curiosity, where'd you get it?

Nice ? Yer back in the good books ? They're becoming hard to find now as with many things ?

A likely story. How long have you been into airsoft and you only just got one... ...very suspicious ?

The secret's out. He's a sneaky paintballer ? PS. The XM177 is one of my faves ?

Yes, that's the most likely reason.

Yeah his must have a very low power spring (as he states). Mine's doing 430 on 0.2 I just had it all open to check internals and install a bearing spring guide. Working on it isn't as bad as 'someone' made it out to be.

? Weather dependant. T-shirt or long sleeve, obviously less bright colours. Baggy helps reduce impacts. Cargo pants or something with lots of (closeable) pockets. Again, baggy for movement. Take a bottle of water and some snack bars for energy.

Yep, fair enough. I was just saying that it didn't seem dodgy.

'Sensible' offers could just be anything above £100 Sure, its a strange way to go about a sale but nothing dodgy in my view.

I don't see a problem with the L1A1 sale. If he wants to see what people offer its up to him. I would put in an offer but I've already got one ?

My two sites still use fps but test with your chosen BB weight. It would be very easy for someone to lie about their BB weight though.

On mine I have to rack the slide because just cocking the hammer doesn't retract the striker. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6nDSDEScEDQ

Email should be better because customers and businesses need a record of conversations and agreements.

Looks hot - as in sweaty ? Many people realise that lighter is better. Especially with this kind of weather ?

Hard to tell from the editing but did it take all those shots to get a hit? Its quite an impressive range no doubt. As I understand it, you just have to pay Guinness a rather hefty fee to come and 'witness' your record attempt.

The honourable thing to do would be send the payment back to TG. Its situations like this that convince them not to sell to UK anymore...

I guess it makes sense that the heavier the recoil the less it will last ?

I was considering a BOLT but my research on recoils brought me to THIS Out of curiosity, anyone tried one to compare? I found one for a good price at Bespoke and the recoil seems amazing to me but I haven't been able to compare to a BOLT or TM. It has a different impulse to my GBBRs of course but its almost more violent to the point that I'm wondering how long it will last ? Unfortunately they're hard to find now.

Don't worry this'll be short ? Another good day at Skirmish Wycombe. They do shortish 20-30 minute games usually capture & defend with the roles switched for the following game. There is some interesting terrain and varied structures which makes capturing and defending a bit more interesting. 4 marshals for about 60 players. They are a bit young so don't know how well they'd handle a difficult player. Luckily the times I've played there I haven't seen too much cheating. Lunch is VERY good and they cater to special requirements. Decent airsoft shop and tuck shop. Haven't tried the toilets but they are in a proper cabin.
