Not really load carrying equipment though is it ?

Nah, nothing against the gat, just the numpty/scammer selling it, it's obviously the same guy we banned earlier, back with a new name but the same shit, but I'm not a mod so can't scrutinise his profile etc any more than you, so have to be polite😁, but I'm sure a ban is coming, they're like buses lol.

I've only just noticed, he's gone ?, what's the odds that a certain argumentative female was actually his weird alter ego ?, after all he was literally the only member she didn't have a row with ? 🤔

I've suspended his account, for review by @Jedi_Master, as has been pointed out too many red flags & contradicting info, I'd asked him to clarify stuff earlier & he's been on but not responded. Better safe than sorry in case a noob tries to jump on the £300 ad.

This is why TM have always been so reliable, stock they don't aim to be the most powerful, nor the highest rate of fire, in return they virtually never self destruct, instead they just keep doing what their supposed to. There a lesson in there somewhere 😏

Best line in a film EVER, Ed Harris tells Sean Connery something like "People will say I'm a hero & a patriot", to which Connery replies "they might do, but personally I think your a fucking idiot" Brit humour in a hollywood film🤣

I'm kinda torn with these, great gun, in all fairness the JG version is just as good, but the FAL has a bit of a cult following, so weirdly, going by the original rrp's, I've seen JG's way overpriced & CA's underpriced lol. The sensible part of me thinks £300 is about right, but £350 does give some haggle room for the buyer to feel victorious. Gotta say I paid less than half that for my JG to a lovely "young" chap on here, where are you mate @Druid799 ?

Kinky git😘 Agree, if your viper rig has served you well & ticked all the boxes so far, the maybe just look at other colour variants, it's like the old adage "if it ain't broke don't fix it" ? As you've admitted, sizing for kit is a problem, you'll be going down the virtual endless rabbit hole trying to find the holy grail of load carrying kit, some of us have been at it for decades & still not 100% convinced with what we're using, especially if your running multiple gun/mag platforms.

I think rocketdogbert had the arse, understandably, about the spam situation making the forum unusable, plus the bickering that was going on mainly due to one members narrow views, meant he decided to take a break. I do hope he comes back, he was one of the core members that always had valid points to input thanks to years of experience. If I remember rightly, he'd also taken a break from skirmishes, focusing more on target shooting at his local gun club in Essex ?

My go to recommendation to most people is a bulle mle platform, very light, very cheap (but not crap quality) very adjustable (my sons gf uses the m4 version with no issues & she's a proper hobbit🤣), but limited on colour options, od or tan I think ?

What have you previously owned or used ? , what & how much are you looking to carry?, does it have to be a full coverage PC or vest, or can you consider chest rigs etc. & finally, what are your camo or colour needs ? Sorry for all the questions, but with more info we can give you better recommendations.

While that's pretty clear in their definitions, but can they overrule UK buyers rights, such as distance selling rules, just because they state it on their website, I don't think so ?. BUT, their up in jock land , does their legislation differ ?

You whip it out as often as you like Ali, I still gaze at it longingly 😘 I should have bought it when I had the chance🤬

Got him lol Edit: & just now another one, that's 10 so far today for me, Dunno about the other guys ?

On it, 7 or 8 new "members" banned🤬

I've no experience with them, but you've done the right thing by not opening it up, I'd recommend you email patrol base & then follow it up with a phone call, if they recommend anything other than returning it, ask them to confirm their advice via return email, & should it still have an issue, insist on a full return for refund or exchange, depending on what YOU want. Unfortunately vorsk aren't known for qc, so it could be a one off lemon, or a generic issue with them ?

Previously seen these go for £300-£400, usually with only 2 or 3 mags though, maybe that'll ease the pain a wee bit ?

Pop it in the freezer for a couple of hours, then do the whole cup of hot water thing again, it will give, but might need a couple of attempts, much better than pure force💪

LOL, sorry, I arrived late to the party & clearly misinterpreted what I skimmed over. But yeah, all too often peoples "want" for a pet clouds their decisions on the massive commitment, financial & otherwise, to pet ownership.

While I 100% agree with your point, as someone who has: 5 dogs 2 cats 5 chickens 2 ducks 13 cockatiels & 4 budgies, anyone with pets knows vet costs can literally be a bottomless bucket, even insurance has limitations, so there's always a chance that costs will outstrip "resources", but that shouldn't mean an animal can't get the life & love it deserves ?, especially rescues. On a similar vein, very shortly after a friend's sniffer dog was retired from the police, he unfortunately broke his leg, but had it been a couple of weeks earlier, the forces insurance would have covered the 8k+ bill, instead poor doggy lost his leg. Hardly seems fair, but then neither does families having to pay for their sons funeral when said son dies in Iraq or Afghanistan, as was the case all too often. 😢
