Come, sir, you know we'll have no truck with that around here. Wait... I mean... around here we'll have no truck with that.

I don't care if it even works, it's a gloriously bold and daft idea and for that alone I love it.

Well, maybe. Is that "bright" blue? Then again, PatrolBase send out hundreds of IFs a year painted in a rather nice, muted Burgundy red And always have your reasonable excuse to hand why you have an imitation firearm (realistic or otherwise_ in your possession, i.e that you're on your way to or from an airsoft skirmish at an insured site. I think you could search from now until we've finally flattened the COVID curve and never persuade the State to take the slightest interest in whether you've painted an IF. As @EDcase astutely notes, it's more of an issue what you do with it. I'm not advocating breaking any laws, and I don't know that OP has a defence. However, consider that anyone with nefarious intentions would hit it with a can of Poundland black and not give a stuff about even asking.

We hope so, although someone just turned up a rather alarming T&C where PayPal say that they might reject a claim if the seller provided proof of delivery or proof of posting. It seems that Border Farce are picking up on mis-labelled packages now, as that's an easy "win" for them.

That was excellent quality bait.

Sorry to hear that, but are you saying that you weren't loaded with bio BBs at a site that you knew was bio only, but which hadn't been checking up to now? Personally I always make sure that I can show a bottle or bag marked "bio", for what that's worth.

Flogging side-door cosmetic rejects is a chancer's game, but the key issue is whether SIG will honour the warranty on them. If it works as intended, and will get fixed if it breaks, it's most of the way there.

No, I'm asking about double shooting on semi. One pull = 1.X shots. I got that on my CYMA when I shoved a meaty 11.1V in, but it had a cut down spring which was noticeably short and provided no pre-load.

I feel personally wound up. Yes, it's an offence. But it's not manufacture. It's modification, which is listed as a clear and explicit and unambiguous offence in its own right. 36 Manufacture, import and sale of realistic imitation firearms (1) A person is guilty of an offence if— (a) he manufactures a realistic imitation firearm; (b) he modifies an imitation firearm so that it becomes a realistic imitation firearm; https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2006/38/section/36

Indeed, stocking will be lumpy, and it's the 25-years-to-lifetime support that I'm really sceptical about.

Good to hear, thanks. Is this on the stock M90 spring? No issues with overspin or double shooting?

Maybe. I wonder how sustainable it all is though.

Prompted by the tabletop gaming thread, there are even people who throw a tantrum when a dice roll goes wrong while they're playing with model soldiers. One notable contrast is with steel weapon combat sports (reenactment, HEMA) where it's very quickly and absolutely unambiguous who's able to keep their head, and who's inclined to go full spinny-choppy as soon as the adrenaline kicks in.

For what purpose?

Hopefully not the same colours every day.

Do they, though? Do they really?

Hi Garett, where abouts are you, and are you looking to find a site to play at?

I don't have a problem with him posting a fantasy ad, I just find it genuinely tragic that either one of two things will happen. He'll hold out for that much forever, snarling "I know what it's worth, all day long". or Some mug actually does pay that asking price.

That's leaning further left than Jeremy Corbyn going into Beckett's Hairpin.

Hmm, SIG seems to have somewhat of a complex history. Did they get back to you after you reported this huckster? Did you ask if the serial numbers are genuine? Some images of the differences between the rejects and the blessed example might be handy to illustrate the issue.

Oh dear. £150 worth of Firehawk with an unknown red dot, battery and burn-your-house-down charger. £130 of Hi-Capa T-Rex, presumably WE. £175 of Hi-Capa extended magazines, brand unknown, condition unknown. =£455 brand new, all available in stock from PatrolBase today. Random pile of holsters, BB, gas, mesh and dress up. All for the bargain price of £550, take it all or leave it. "would like to sell it all in one go" I'm sure you would, but you won't, not at new+ prices for "as new", and before the inevitable "oh yeah m8 fees and postage and that". I think these adverts make me the saddest of all.

Huh, I guess mine could have been happenstance then. Few stocks in stock, sadly. 30 out of the 50 stocks at PatrolBase, for example, aren't.

Collection assumed, hasn't though about postage. Hasn't even thought about fees beyond "etc". Listing two RIFs in one advert is more work than listing them separately, once you factor in that if/when you sell one then you'll have to update the ad or keep telling folk "no m8 its gone m8". He doesn't want to sell them.

Bear in mind this is a hobby peopled by mugs who would rather pay a premium for fragile pot metal over robust plastic, beecuz reel steal. Have you had anything assault-toy shaped in them? I had an M4 stock rejected for shipment out of Chinaland, although that may just have been happenstance.

Brave choice, preconceptions are only changed by the bold. I look forward to a "best gnu evar!" review.
