Not a fan of sigs generally, but that definitely looks better👍

The 'What have you just bought' Thread
Tackle replied to Cameron364's topic in Guns, Gear & Loadouts
As a young squaddie in the early/mid eighties I dreamt about owning a pair of these, but could never justify them as they would have cost me about 3 weeks wages, or beer tokens as they were better known🥴 (no such thing as dry January back then, or any other month lol🤣) -
About bleedin time 😜

What do we reckon, fake as fuck ?, if so, definitely a Macks contender🤔 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/166582605454?hash=item26c918d68e%3Ag%3AoEEAAOSwg1Nlv86D&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAAwFkKDaVVvawp%2F3jTqczxrrEhCLd%2FNhU5fxZpQnm17yR4TYLxxKXmnP5uqrqQnblC7BP9uq49lX0exmTqBJSLYk%2FAJhb7BokiEZz68qzgwk8LAiYSp5gViBQci30sPDjVt7aZifO5exRozROYWlUvFRD%2BU4sPAgR8%2FIpSTOOpN3zlcmAGEyvqgBuT8nsGXd9I4ZXaS12y1lxcMNoK%2BL9LDY2LM9qAxBmGXETONIWa0FMJy6NpA%2Foz8LqAewWBkMW7NQ%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR8SqhOKuYw&LH_Auction=1

Anyway to take out the stripped screw on handguard?
Tackle replied to Astronautcheng's topic in General Help
Amen 👆 I remember before impact drivers were a "thing" walking in to thanet tools for some stuff & the guy on the counter says "here, think you can drive this massive coach bolt in to 6 inches of solid oak", we laughed at him but had a go, gripping the drill with both hands ready for it to lock up, "nah, one hand" he says, & it was like a hot knife through butter, following week I bought one, previously the idea of spending £250 on a cordless drill sounded ludicrous, but I reckon it paid for itself in a month🤯. No, you'll need a drill with variable speed, & some good quality drill bits, job like that you need slow but with torque. No one you can borrow one from ? (can't believe I just said that😱) -
I'd err on the side of caution, for the sake of a £10-£15 battery, is it worth the risk ? Might combust when in use in a rifle, wrecking the gat, or worse, when being charged at home, doing god knows what😱

Quick 30 second review of the ARSUK pistol case off Amazon
Tackle replied to DanBow's topic in Guns, Gear & Loadouts
Sounds like a typo from people that don't know the difference, or have a poor command of english/meanings. It's design clearly wouldn't be waterproof for any kind of sustained immersion. Now water resistant, that's a different matter🤔 -
There's a lot here, me included, that are inclined to agree.

& not one forum interaction, just comes here to flog his "new not new" rifs, a real active contributing member of the Airsoft community.

I wonder would the hmrc have a different opinion on that ? 🤔

No one by choice, but to be fair it did used to have a great site at Ft Amherst, sadly missed 😢

Anyone played the siege project in Stoke?
Tackle replied to concretesnail's topic in General Discussion
Pisses me off when "members" join just to BIG up a site etc, only to never again post, unless it's to attempt to defend a really bad review😏. FFS, admit your personally involved with a site, & take responsibility for the bad shit as well as the good. 🤬 -
Gutted for the guy & his family, as someone that's on their own cancer journey, his age feels like the biggest kick in the nuts, he should have at least another 40 years in him, life is so unfair. As has been said, I wish him a pain free journey & pray that he gets as much quality time with his family as possible. 😢

Bit more info needed please, ideally recent shenanigans @Roger_rtmay have attempted ? EDIT: Your first post wasn't very clear, but just seen the feedback you've left him, everybody say bye to Roger_rt

The 'What have you just bought' Thread

I say "bring back the bush"....... Are we still talking about Airsoft ? 😏

As gavinkempsell has pointed out, we had plethora of "death by gun" incidents, some were illegal firearms, but some were, & sometimes still are, legally held guns, so the laws became more restrictive. BUT As airsofters we came under scrutiny because at the time anyone over 18 could buy a realistic imitation firearm (rif), & so scumbags did & used them for criminal acts, this created a lot of problems, not least because at the time armed officers comprised less than 5% of the police, spread thin on the ground, a situation made worse when they were then tied up with crimes involving non lethal replicas that were easily obtained, & sometimes crimes involving genuine firearms were difficult to get suitable personnel in attendance. & don't get me started on the complications if an officer shoots someone, months of paperwork & suspension of duties even if its a real gun, but even worse if it's a teen (etc) with a replica. So the vcra came in to try to reduce the availability of replicas, doesn't do anything to prevent the use of real firearms, & most airsofters think it's very unfair on us. But the truth is we were very lucky not to lose Airsoft completely, or all to be forced to two-tone everything. So when noobs come on trying to circumnavigate vcra/ukara, understandably some of us get the hump, because everytime the law is broken it has the potential to wreck the fragile status quo we exist within. Yes & no, see above
