Yep, is he close enough to visit ?, failing that where is he based ?, maybe another forum member can pop by & politely request their return. What I would recommend you do first is to drop him a message via letter, sent special delivery to ensure signature, stating you would like all your items returned, ideally with any outstanding repairs completed, list all your contact info & explain failure to do so will result in a visit by yourself or an associate, & that this matter may be escalated to a small claims case against him.

Means numerous peeps having to report potentially dozens of times, or more given yesterday and today, that's a lot of work. I agree though that more mods, with the ability to hide any content posted by problem spammers, with the deletion process dealt with by the higher tier mods.

I think that's the holy grail we're all searching for 😢

But why do it in the first place, it's dodgy af & just reaffirms the general consensus that your a bit of a douche. Allegedly 😏

+1 on some more mods, even if they only have the powers to banish the spam bots etc as they pop up, this mornings antics were crazy.

@Jedi_Master, can you wield the ban hammer please, duplicate accounts & blatantly stealing content to claim as his own on yet another poxy YouTube channel, most of them do more harm than good for Airsoft perception. He'll be giving himself likes & feedback next 🤬

Yep, very suspicious, thanks for the heads up.

To be fair mate, at your age just waking up is on your bucket list 😜

Wot only one 😜

This is what baffles me with some players, while I'm no stitch counter, especially when it comes to loadouts etc, when it comes to the guns almost everything is represented by one or more manufacturer, so all real world roles are easily achievable (assuming you have the £££ lol), so when someone arrives on site with a short barreled rifle & claims it's a dmr, or an M4 with a box mag is a support weapon, organisers should be saying "fudge off", weapon class rules aren't meant open to be open to your own interpretation in order to exploit any perceived advantages.

I'd not bother, could be one of those overseas £1k per minute jobbies, sounds like a random bot that's just latched on to your pm to chance it's arm. End of the day, even if its a genuine attempt to purchase from you, do you really want to get involved with someone who can't string a coherent sentence together, never mind give them personal details to allegedly proceed with a payment, & don't get me started if it's anything rif-like their after lol. I'd block them if possible ?

To the best of my knowledge, in 21+ years of playing, I've never owned a gnu fitted with a mosfet, & I've had (& still have) a shitload of them, with no detrimental effect on my ability to play. If your reason for wanting a mosfet is to lock something to single shot, be aware that most sites that have dmr specs insist on mechanical disablement of full auto rather than mosfet, such as modified selector plate etc.

Personally I'd write off the chance of getting your pistol back, chalk it down to experience & life lessons, & be more focused on finding a new gf & mum in law, as the ones you've got sound like a liability & definitely not "keepers" 😏

Easy peasy lemon squeezy , get a CYMA M14 Socom, great out of the box, wee bit shorter than the standard m14 so still adept at urban sites, hi caps have big mag capacity so no need to festoon yourself in tactical nylon with a gazillion pouches, in fact a small grab bag & 3 mags would probably cover most skirmish day needs & make being a sneaky mofo a piece of piss. Works for me lol. Edit. Just see your "deal breaker", don't think quick change spring is an option (I could be wrong though ?), but still a great rifle for getting in the dmr/sniper mindset for not a lot of money.

WOT, on show for the world to see ?, if that's the case then he's only got himself to blame. In fact I dunno what worse, getting a window popped & losing the gun, or maybe getting nabbed by the fuzz for having a rif on show in public, either will be a costly experience 🤔

Also, the circumstances behind the theft may be important, for example was this a random garage break-in, or a targeted theft by a potential buyer ?

@gavinkempsell, as has been pointed out, there's lots of variables to consider, which in turn vary further depending on the player in question. Why not share what you've got, & what you think your playing style will be, & we'll tell what's worth fielding & what should be worshipped at home lol.

Even worse, rype village at Lydd camp had a badly mocked up "minaret", more of a reference point than an actual religious depiction, didn't stop the shit hitting the fan when an airsofter sneaked a picture out that then got in to a lefty rag.

Don't get me wrong, I'm no snowflake & you've got to go really dark to even get close to offending me, but my bigger concern is this shit gets out & hits the mainstream media, that's another nail in the Airsoft coffin, imagine the headlines: "ANTISEMETIC MYSOGINISTS RUNNING AROUND WITH GUNS" There'd be so many groups with an axe to grind against us👎

it's airsoft ffs, how is any of that crap even considered necessary for setting the theme. Another site/organiser on my shit list lol
