  1. I keep getting popups when clicking on the forum. Not sure what triggers it, but it always redirects to rgshark and happens a couple times a day (see attached).

      @L3wisD Also gets this

       

      @Jedi_Master is this something you know anything about

      No, absolutely no idea.  I only use PC and ipad but never a phone. Devastator as root admin would be able to look at the issue.  Recommend that you start a new topic (with clear descriptive title) in Forum Feedback with all the details and screen shots to give him an idea of the issue.  Also other members may also have this problem and be able to add to the topic.

  2. Ah, the joys of ordering from China..

     

    Bought a replica 551 Eotech at the end of last year. Just under a month later it arrives and it's missing the battery contacts. Tell the supplier who say no worries, they'll send a replacement.

     

    2 months later.. nothing. Contact them again. They say they'll send another parcel. It arrived today, 7 months after initial purchase and I shit you not the contacts for this are missing too.

      Reasons why I never buy from a china seller if I can help it. Difficult to do though.

      I try to stick with non functioning items if I can (suppressors , flash hiders , etc) for these very reasons . 

  3. Amazon have a couple of free vouchers at the moment.

     

    One is a £5 voucher if you download their app and another is a £4 voucher which you get by adding 3 items to your wishlist. 

     

    Unsure if you can apply both to checkout but figured it's worth a shout. 

     

     

     

     

     

  4. Any leads on a replica for a Matech 600m BUIS? I like the style - if not the price!

     

    Did a bit of digging on the usual sites but can't seem to source one (if they even exist).

      Fair enough. I was going to let mine go for £40. It's a good sight

      Appreciate the offer mate but I'll have to pass for now. Will deffo keep you in mind tho! :)

      No worries! There are a bunch of airsoft sights similar to it. Not identical, but have a similar compact base with tall flip up sight

  5. Buyers beware! I bought a UMP off of user @LTPinney on the 14th November but have received no parcel nor an update since November 27th.

     

    Why the warning? Because @Dan1712 also bought from him and never received anything! 

     

    Started a dispute against him and the guy has responded but not got in touch with me.

     

    Do not send him any money!

     

    Tried to create a profile on ZeroIn but honestly the entire website is just not very intuitive. I can't post, reply to existing topics or even view my own profile.

     

    Would someone be so kind as to let the folks on there know not to buy from him? He's got an advert up at the moment (posted 4 days ago) for a GBB L85 in their classifieds. 

  6. Currently looking for an AK. Please let me know via my advert if you have anything you're looking to shift: 

     

  7. Despite being in all day and about 5m from the front door apparently Hermes "Missed you" at 14:02. 

     

    Now it's gone back to the depot for redelivery.

     

    Living up to the standard I come to expect from this courier.

      Head down to your nearest university , you won’t have a problem finding any there , matter of fact you’ll probably be arse deep in snowflakes ! 🤦‍♂️

  9. Got any movie suggestions for me to watch on a Friday night chaps? 

     

    I've spent the last half hour scrolling through recent flicks and Reddit's top 250 and just can't decide.

      L3wisD is in really deep shit with my wife,he recommended Love,Death and Robots and since then I've done fuck all around the house so to get myself out of the shit I've showed her this post pointing out "not my fault its his". While on the Airsoft field I consider myself a man of honour off the field however is a different matter😁

  10. Long shot but anybody here have experience with computers? 

     

    Upgraded PC today but it won't load Windows as It's AMD > Ryzen. Will need to format my SSD and reinstall windows on it.

     

    Problem is when I try and boot from either the windows installation disc or a bootable USB it completes 'loading files' and black screens. My keyboard lights shut down too.

     

    Not sure what to do at this point.

      Don't want to jinx myself but ive made progress with the PC..

       

      It no longer black screens at all in any menu. I can get to the Windows installation part but my keyboard and mouse shut down. From what I gather this is a USB 3 - Windows 7 issue.

       

      I'm downloading Windows 10 on a bootable USB and am going to see if this changes things. You can still use Win7 keys to activate Win10 right?

    3. Musica

      Musica

      you can install windows 10 without a key you can skip that part. I'd try your key but it might not work

  11. Love how I can fly direct to Brussels and get a return flight to London for £50 meanwhile a train from Chester-London would cost me more than double that. 

     

    Or take a coach for a tenner each way? How come rail is so expensive? :lol:

      If this is a non-rhetorical question, then the answer is a State monopoly + cartel deals + private profit + socialised losses.  It's quite literally the worst of all possible worlds.

      What I always enjoy about these statements (whether its a slow day in the news or a forum post) is the fact they have gone off to find something 'cheaper' that you wouldn't expect to be cheaper. Now me? I either go, fcuk thats expensive and still pay it or I don't. I don't then tend to go hunting for things that should be more expensive than a train fare and then aren't. Having said all that, train travel is a rip off.

  12. Ordered a parcel on eBay. Turns out the seller is using Hermes as a courier.

     

    Less than a 50/50 chance of it turning up within the next 6 weeks. :ph34r:

      Yeah, anything over a certain weight or size and I go with ParcelForce. Never had an issue with them.

       

      Anything smaller gets sent via Royal Mail.

      Hermes have always been good in my area, you're at the mercy of whomever covers that postal code. You must just have a crap person covering. Complain enough and they'll sack/replace them.

      @duff my experience exactly. Our old City Link driver was really good...

  13. Quick update to my dispute against @LTPinney

     

    I won, basically. PayPal reviewed my dispute and refunded me the full amount about 40 minutes ago. 

     

    Nice wake up to my first present of the day! Have a great Christmas everyone! :)

  14. Quite surprised this evening - or morning I should say - when I'm browsing through eBay and see Mk7 helmets at <£40. What happened?

     

    6 months ago and these helmets were in high demand at >£100! Have all our soldiers been kitted out with Revision Cobras already? I'd have thought that would take at least a decade..

     

    1. Jedi_Master

      Jedi_Master

      Are they genuine mk7 or some china made knock offs.

    2. Gepard

      Gepard

      To me they look legit. But I wouldn't know what to look for on replicas - especially not from photos. Here's the listing: https://bit.ly/2Plp03k

       

       

  15. So what's been going on with the forum today? I haven't been able to access it since last night. Also, why is it blue? :blink:

     

    Edit:

      Seconded. Need a nice noir theme pls....

      I made it black for now. Other stuff.. we'll see, still trying to resolve whatever has happened.

  16. The LED on my CompM4 replica isn't lighting up when the dial is turned. Cleaned the contacts and tried with a fresh AA and nothing. 

     

    So I'm guessing it's an electrical problem. Does anybody know if it's fixable or do I have an expensive paperweight right now?

      I don't own one unfortunately, but I think I remember how to use it :lol:

    3. Prisce

      Prisce

      Firstly, you’ll need one of them, a cheap one will do, only really need it for continuity and possibly voltage measurement. 

       

      Youll have to see if power is getting to the LED, if it is, the LED is dead and a new one needs soldering in. If it isn’t, you need to go through each component till you find where the power gets too. 

       

      It may sound difficult, but it really isn’t, just take your time, methodically go from the battery to furthest point and work your way in at both ends till you find where the issue is.

      Cheers, I'll put on on order 

  17. There's been a lot of spam/scam posts popping up recently. Great to see the admins are on top of it.

     

    It's a good reminder to be extra vigilant when buying gifts this Christmas!

  18. Up all night putting the gearbox back together and assembling the AK. Watched a lot of videos and learned a lot this night!

     

    I'm probably going to replace the stripped gear with SHS 13:1 and correct the AOE but will I need anything else for the gun to run smoothly?

     

     

    1. AK47frizzle

      AK47frizzle

      ahaha I did this when I was 14. Get lots of shims. Lots. Of all sizes. A lot of the quietness and smoothness comes from shimming. A good piston seal is great too but not mandatory. My m4 is genuinely quieter than some of the sniper rifles on the field ahaha.

    2. johnnyj

      johnnyj

      What make is the gearbox ? , most v3 box's are bomb proof . look at your switch and trolley while your in the box as they can wear out or burn out with none fet'ed guns. 

  19. Well I've bit the bullet and bought an LCT AKM. Been after one for a while and at £170 I can't really beat that price!

      Yeh I was tempted and I already have one! £170 is a bargain price as 1.  RRP is £250 and 2.  They are usually sold out.  And everyone needs a good AK.  Plus they are just standard v3 boxes so if you feel the need to tinker with it, its easy to do.

    3. Gepard

      Gepard

      Nope, still got it! Although I feel it will be up on the Classifieds fairly soon.

       

      Any idea on what a used ICS L85 is worth nowadays? 

    4. EvilMonkee

      EvilMonkee

      Depends on condition etc but rough guess around 2/3 RRP price

  20. What is with people sitting on an item you've bought and paid for over a week ago and getting all pissy when you open a dispute via PayPal against them when you discover they haven't even bothered to send it yet? 

     

    Like fair enough of you're busy but come on. You can make time or at least give me the courtesy of telling me it will be delayed or something..

     

    Am I the only dude who ships stuff within a day at the most of payment being receieved?

      My last 2 sales have been sent next day by my father who works close to the post office. Otherwise I tell them and update them and send a receipt photo when it's sent. Checking tracking etc and texting them once it's delivered to make sure they are happy.. I guess that's my job role taking over slightly but still. 11 days is a pisstake 

    3. Druid799

      Druid799

      If it’s going to be late for ‘unforeseen’ reasons then yea don’t think any one would have a problem with a delay (eg the good mr Prisce’s attack of 💀) as long as you kept them updated with valid reasons (soz bro i’z got a wicked killstreak on Mario cart !) does NOT qualify as one ! 

    4. clumpyedge

      clumpyedge

      @Robert James I do exactly the same with regards to tracking and pictures and a text/message to say its been delivered and can they confirm it arrived in good condition etc! joys of ten years in logistics!

  21. What's with all the bronze rails I keep seeing on M4s?

      I saw someone the other day posting a tutorial on baking their TM sopmod rails in the oven to get then to turn FDE/Bronze.

       

      Sod that.

    4. jcheeseright

      jcheeseright

      Can't bake the TM rails, they're painted not anodised.  G&P are bakeable though!

      Don't know what your paying or what you're budget is. We ran a VPS forum for a while and then gave up on it  as other sites tended to hog resources, going for a server of our own. <£25 a month from Kimsufi.com for a pretty high spec system that was our own hardware. So we had complete choice of OS and software to run and build as we like.

      Thanks, but we're fine. I'm just adjusting the resources to account for the new stuff we've added. Devastator has been using DO for years for the forums and I've been using them myself for about the same time on other stuff :)

  24. 2 minutes into the Steam Summer sale and servers are already fucked. :lol:

  25. Anybody heading to Alpha 55 for their Summer Social this year?
