  1. I bought one of those 3-9x40 scopes on Amazon for under a tenner not long ago. Works nicely, good eye relief.. Had a look for the seller but it seems they're no longer selling it. I'm sure a quick search could reveal something of similar pricing. After all they're just rebrands of the same product. CVLife, Excelvan, SMK, etc.. eBay often have good branded scopes going dirt cheap second hand so it could be worth having a look there too. Hawke, Bushnell, Vortex, etc..
  2. Yeah, I bought a similar package for much less than that.. Gun, magazine, eotech replica, gun case, battery and charger for £110.
  3. You know the worst part is I went back to change that before I posted and it still autocorrected..
  4. Bit of backyard pLinking to get in the mood for tomorrow! (gun is empty, hence the lack of eyepro )
  5. Has PatrolBase ever responded to an email inquiry? I've never got a reply the few times I've contacted them..

      I got a pretty quick response from Dayle, customer services, last week. Contacted them through the website messaging system about battery compatibility and chargers. Later asked him to check my order and he replied swiftly, no complaints so far.

       

  6. Stuff like this can be picked up for about £3-5 including postage.
  7. 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:

      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 

  8. 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?

      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.

      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. 

  9. Stripped one of the screws holding the motor to the gearbox. Any decent ways of getting the bugger out?

      The rocket ones from ak2m4 are well worth purchasing, got some in my high RoF(well by standard measures) and they are solid and working really well.

  11. Thanks. I wanted to mount a torch on the side and the cover took up the entire rail space so it needed to come off.
  12. Is there a simple way to install and remove this type of rail cover? I've already snapped off the end of one of them and would rather not damage the rest.
  13. 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.

  14. Its made of steel but isn't for use on RS firearms. Poor wording on OP's behalf.

  16. 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?

  17. @Super64 Regardless you're not shifting those at £40 a pop when you can buy them new for half that, which is why I posted it here. Adjust the price is my suggestion.
  18. This caught my eye. I thought "wow! £40 for all these is a decent price!". Then I read the description..
  19. I forgot to post this here. My new AKM.
  20. Well I only got off about 100 shots before the gears broke but here's the latest addition to my collection: LCT AKM
  21. Is it half term already? :lol:

  22. 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

      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 !

      @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!

  23. 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

      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

  24. Very tempted by an LCT AKM. Might have to sell my ICS L85 to bankroll it though.. :(

      Please help me convince myself to blow away £170 on yet another toy gun. :lol:

      You don't have AK so there all the reason you need and if you wait you run the risk of someone buying at that price and then your hunt starts all over again. 

       

      Obviously if can afford to spend the money and not cause your self some financial worry then have at it.

      I have been the same, tempted to sell my G&G M1 Garand to get a better rifle for my loadout, just seen you got yourself one ? go for it man! Nice buy! 

  25. Quite happy with how my M4 looks right now.
