Huh, the 10% discount code is now front and centre and applies to everything. That's some seriously cheap gear at the moment - if it shows up. No updates on my order today, I expect they're victims of their own success again. 🙄

Back on topic, because I'm cheap and I don't learn well, I've put in another small order with them. One thing I'll note is that they seem to love discount codes, which are fairly easily found with a quick "gunfire discount code" Googol. 10% off what's already the cheapest EU prices that I can find was too much to resist. Order went in last night, I got the initial acknowledgements, but nothing today. I've again (I really should listen to my own advice) gambled on a "very small quantity of stock" item. Taking bets on when I get the "Dear Customer, unfortunately there is problem with order..." response.

I agree in principle. In practice, it's a long road, and the up-front costs add up quickly if you're determined to take it all the way to recovery. I say this not to discourage anyone from doing it, just to set realistic expectations.

You need to factor in the seller's time in putting together that amazing custom gun. Silencers don't screw themselves on.

Can't we learn from your experience?

In what way have you "been through this with the authorities"?

Can you expand on what that means in practice? I ask because as far as I can see , there is no intent defence for importing something that isn't an airsoft RIF. I doubt you'd get far arguing intent to deactivate if you tried to import a firearm. If Border Force are turning a blind eye, maybe that's because they've been hit by a 400fps full auto AEG.

I swear, I do have an actual DWTSOT hi-vis, but it's not visible enough for me to find it.

I think you'd be hard pressed to find a retailer asking as much as £140 for a CM16 Raider, and with no option to post it. I was going to say that at least it'll come with a battery, but the chancer is asking another £15 for that. The fairest thing that you can say is that he's listed it as "used" rather than "as new" or similar delusions, and that it comes with a pretty collection of chrono cable ties on it.

No front sight to get in the way of your C-clamp.

I was going to have a moratorium this month as well, but £40 or so doesn't really count, right? Be honest, is there anything in that box that you don't already have three of?

It's a slow afternoon, so more out of boredom than burning desire, I've just ordered: My MP5K is already pretty barky, having a full sized V3 piston spitting 310fps+ out of a 110mm barrel. Might as well play to its strengths. The base layer is because I usually play in a wicking t-shirt but Mrs Borg gets sadface when I come back leaking hero-juice it's brown. Remember when "coyote" was "camel"? I guess coyotes are bitier and therefore manlier.

I'm calling school project. We didn't even get an incoherent SurveyMonkey to rant about.

I know, right? Suppressing fiiiiiiiire!

Is it school project time again? If you tell us why you're asking, we might be able to give more cogent information. In the meantime, have a paraplegic in a wheelchair... ... and a chap with muscular dystrophy who can pretty much only operate a joystick and a trigger. No problem, 6 wheeled offroad goddamn wheelchair tank.

It looks great, but it's peculiar that PatrolBase are selling it as semi auto but only 330fps. I'd have expected at least the option of buying it at over 400fps. At £360, I wouldn't want to be throwing any more money at it, or voiding the warranty by splitting the gearbox. No quick change spring? I'm not bagging on your choice, just curious about it.

Giving his advert a "funny" rating. I imagine that he picks fights with himself in the mirror, like a belligerent budgerigar.

Ohhhhh! I've just twigged, this is the angry young chap who used Just Cos insurance to buy his RIFs, instead of UKARA. I'm not sure that he's ever actually played airsoft. Given his rageaholism (he's been sending me "U WOT M8?" messages on the side), that's probably for the best. *PLONK*ed.

Ah, but you're missing something important: it's collection only. Jayzus, that is a new low.

One's a racial nationalist eugenicist who says ethnic minorities should get out of Europe, and the other's Hitler.

Blink twice if you need help.

You may want to verify that it's all in stock before putting your money in their pockets.

Not necessarily. He's not claiming that it's "new", just that it's never been skirmished. That could be true. He's omitted the information that it's an ex two-tone, but as a non-business seller is not obliged to disclose it. The pictures are clear enough. I'd call caveat emptor on that.

Um, a quick Googols suggests those may have glass lenses and are only rated up to 0.6J impacts. Have you test shot them?
