  1. Nearly new ? i think you mean a relatively recent purchase that's been skirmished with, so it's obviously USED 🤔
  2. Is it the queer beard😜 Sorry, my generation can't help themselves, dragged up on a diet of innuendo & sarcasm🤡
  3. Wrong section mate, you want here: https://airsoft-forums.uk/classifieds/category/17-guns-wanted/
  4. Exactly my point, sometimes tinkering with them in the hope to "improve/upgrade" them just opens a bigger can of worms lol.
  5. @kohoniixi What's it's FPS like ? What's it's accuracy like ? If the answer to both questions is positive, IE an FPS of 330+ & your hitting what you point it at, then leave it alone, use your available funds to sort out another primary, maybe a short rifle so you've got a viable alternative for different roles, as well as being a valuable backup. As for the sr25, if it's doing what's expected of it reasonably well, then leave it,if it ain't broke don't fix it, you might do more harm than good & inevitably create a money pit, something no one needs lol.
  6. I typed that in to Google translate, it came back with: "Clearly the Greedy Cnut tried to squeeze every last penny out of the area of land he'd rented, without considering the the consequences or repercussions of his tightwad actions" Isn't this new fangled technology amazing 🤣
  7. What a Cnut, so he openly acknowledges that his airsoft regulars have given him a continuous revenue stream when all his other fair weather punters have stayed away, he's also exploited the good nature of self same airsofters by asking for free labour (& probably skill sets) towards the upkeep of HIS property, from which he profits, & then the first opportunity he gets, he stabs his most loyal client base in the back😡. As for whether we should consider if he's on the spectrum & that therefore affects how he deals with questions on his business ethics, what a load of bollocks, the guy runs 4 locations catering for "outdoor pursuits" & is probably minted, so clearly nothing has held him back up til now, he's just taken his most reliable (& in some ways naive, no offence meant) client base for granted, in the knowledge that if he can get guys working for nothing, then what other liberties can he get away with. like I said, definitely no offence meant with my "naive" comment, I used to work in engineering on a heritage steam railway, as well as the skeleton crew of paid staff such as myself, the place had a massive core of volunteers, mostly retired people who were affectionately known as "puffer nutters", enthusiasts who were prepared to do all sorts of work, some of it menial & pretty shitty, just to get their fix of Steam etc. What I found objectionable about this though was the upper management/board of governors paid themselves very very well, while making lots of empty promises to the small core of paid staff regarding bonuses, wage increases & other incentives, when in truth those in charge were doing their best to trim the paid workforce even further, in the hope the volunteers would take up the slack on the less skill intensive roles. its one thing to volunteer for charitable ventures, but a completely different kettle of fish when greedy entrepreneurs exploit the interests of good natured reliable people, which I think is the case at druids EX-regular site.
  8. @Druid799, make you right mate, that's a disgusting attitude, gotta question the h&s aspect when they ran live fire clays at the same time as an Airsoft event, definitely dodgy as fuck. As for his not giving a shit attitude, he's lucky someone didn't put him on his arse. Everybody lost money over the last 18 months, doesn't mean you abandon all integrity just to squeeze a few more quid out of a day, prick deserves to go under, then someone else can step up & run it properly. Is this the same site that stitched up your friend, the former head marshal ? Next thing, destroy the mofo on every forum & FB page, as well as the review sites such as trustpilot etc 😈
  9. Regrettably I'm unable to do any of the dates, recent surgery hasn't gone well, might have to go all A-Team on an invalid scooter if I want to play any time soon🤬
  10. Much better ta, was gonna say "but I don't know what I'm looking at", but I can just about make out Tiger Stripe set👍
  11. Welcome back mate, we've missed you Id like to see how they're gonna measure that ?
  12. Marshals in general can be a very mixed bag, over the years I've definitely had more bad experiences than good (as a player), for example, csw was an awesome site in almost every aspect, BUT there was a group of marshals that would clump together chatting shit for the morning session, which obviously meant they were virtually ineffective for that time. I've seen paid marshals that are lazy & cant be arsed, some that are scared to confront problem players, corrupt marshals that change the scenario rules mid game to benefit their mates or the teflon home team, "nazi" marshals on a power trip that get so involved unnecessarily that it screws up play, the list just goes on & on, unfortunately when it comes to players who knowingly cheat etc, they will exploit these obvious weaknesses, it's a vicious circle, the customers who have a shit experience usually vow to not go back, & the site gets a bad reputation so the "owners" lose a shitload of revenue, sometimes unfairly if they're unaware of the issues. unfortunately, marshals, paid or otherwise, are just like employees in any other job, some employees can be trusted to do their very best for their employers/clients, & others not, especially when out of sight & with no discernible end product.
  13. I often used to be a player/marshall for one of my teammates chain of sites, as did most of my teammates (but not all) why ?, as a team we were generally known for high levels of fair play, so it kinda made sense that we were asked to "quietly" police gameplay to ensure harmony. Essentially the site organiser would ask us to discretely support his paid hi-viz clad staff, during the safety briefing he would inform the punters that there were player marshals undercover within the teams who would only identify themselves if absolutely necessary, & generally this worked very well, players who may have been tempted to bend the rules because there was no hi-viz in sight had to consider who else was watching. how did we approach it ?, mostly it was the occasional honesty shot in the butt for anyone pointed out to us, sometimes people mildly kicking off were told to head back to the safe zone for 15 mins to hydrate & calm down, on the understanding that another episode would result in a half or full day break, or lifetime ban for the extreme cases (obviously this would be confirmed by the paid staff & was a rare occurrence). we had one teammate who at times was at times unpredictable in his playing style & attitude, partly due to issues in his home life, needless to say he was never asked to fill the role. in return, we got free game days, & they were usually very enjoyable, if you expect fair & honest gameplay, how better than to be quietly ensuring it's happening 👍
  14. Yep, as Mik has said, start a dispute before it's too late, & if they are still trading, likely to spur them on to get your kit out to you. Keep us updated please, always good to let others know the end result. Thanks & good luck 👍
  15. I bet it's cos @leadly has done em up like a kipper, they're worried we'll all get something for nothing (eventually) 😜
  16. Lost count of the "definitely want it, send your details" that then go quiet, sometimes refusing to even answer pm "nudges". & Don't get me started on picture collectors 🤬
  17. Never say never, you dunno what your missing, especially the socom 14, mine rocks😁
  18. My sons got the quest 2, I've had a dabble on Pavlov, onward & couple of others, last week he got a rifle stock & it's a massive improvement in the accuracy, definitely worth having if your in to your shooters.
  19. His previous sales threads for this were overpriced, I repeatedly asked were shells included "at that price" (hint hint) but he chose to ignore me. I should have just outed him on this thread 👍
  20. Are you inverting mags ? (Turning them upside down to fill) The gas is a liquid essentially, so flowing down is much more efficient.
  21. What about a "Members" section ? (some forums have password protected team threads), the easily offended snowflakes need not apply. Obviously I'm not condoning absolute filth etc, but patches, memes, bantz & the like should have a place.
