yep you did put your phone number up, sorry I didn't contact you through that. All's well that ends well. So to all who read the thread, massive misunderstanding, Chris did, right at the start give me his phone number which I complete forgot about! I am a dullard! Still it great to see the community come forward to help, I guess it one of the reasons I still play airsoft as I slide into my old age. Chris, thank you for understanding.

Ok nearly two weeks now so I guess even thou he'd been a member for some time Mrchrissyb1984 aka Christopher Benton as a scammer, or has suffered some terrible luck preventing him from loggin onto the site and replying to direct e-mails and messages through pay pal. So if any one plays at Dirty Dog airsoft please senfd him my regards and ask him where my rif got to. I suspect it's going to cost him more when his karma bites him in the arse!

sadly for me, I did F&F on the paypal, yes I know! Well won't do that anymore.

yep, I'll give it a week. He hasn't visited the site since the 5th May, and I like to give him the benefit of the doubt... On the plus side I've bought a lot of stuff on the forum and this is the first time I've had a problem, I guess some people just don't call their hits!

Hate to ask but bought a RIF on the classifieds from Mrchrissyb1984 , who's been a forum member for quite some time. Paid for the rif but all went quite on the 5th May. He's not been back on the forum since and hasn't replied to direct e-mail. I'd hate to bring his reputation into doubt if there's a good reason for not replying to me! So if you know him could you ask him to check his e-mails and forum mail to put my mind at rest. Cheers all peter207

well no reply from evike, tried to fit the receiver and...... there's $100 of scrap pot metal.

FFS is the only thing that can come to mind after ordering a replacement reciver for my RPK. The only cyma compatable part I could find was the Echo 1 Red Star LMG receiver at Evike. Ok,only $40, then $60 for shipping. So wait a couple of days for the first e-mail from UPS asking my company ( I'm not a company) to return the full import paperwork for the gun part. Note the use of the word 'gun' here. So you e-mail them and point out it's a 'toy' part. Then wait a couple of days for paperwork regarding the import of RIF's, along with a customs declaration. Fill out the forms, for the part. Wait a couple of days. E-mail UPS again to be told they haven't recived the paperwork yet. Reply with the original e-mail that had the paperwork attached, attached to that e-mail. Wait a couple of days. Check the tracking, pay the £27 quid in 'admin' fees, including £10 import duty? Wait a couple of days, part turns up at last, broken! Try to stay calm, contact Evike and wait....lets see whats going to happen.

Yep, need a replacement hop up unit!

So, just went looking for an exploded diagram for the Raptor SV98 and went to Raptor's web site (twraptor.com) and it's now got a holding page. I noticed they've not said anything on FB since Aug either. Anyone got any ideas?

No fault can be laid at the feet of WGC, but.. £18 for Ups delivery because covid has f up the postal service plus another £36 in government fees (vat which is fair enough but £12 of that is Ups fees) means don't bother with buying from them till the dust has settled! Oh and the paperwork asking for your details, Ukars and inside leg measurements etc for a bloody tracer unit and hand grip.
