Tackle

Short version, he's generally not well liked, by most players & most sites apparently.

Or there's your poor mans option, dental floss, get about 30 metres for a couple of quid, barely visible to the eye, & super strong (ever tried to break it without some kinda cutting device, always cuts in to your fingers)

Yeah I got that, but if he's not prepared to "play the game", then maybe turn the thumbscrews a bit to make him comply, he'll get notifications if his business starts getting poor reviews, might be enough to actually do what You want rather than pissing about. Yep you could wait for PayPal to find in your favour, assuming he doesn't say "No problem, just get the gear back to me & I'll refund you", & then start pissing about again with bogus addresses that no online courier booking system will accept, so he can waste more time getting his shit together. Saying that, have you actually requested a call from PayPal, his address should be on file & I always find that when you've been stitched up in some way, explaining it in person to them is much more productive usually. Case in point, wanker on Zin sold me a c02 air pistol, arrived looking great but was faulty, pmd said wanker & his response was "sorry pal, was fine when it left, your problem". Opened a dispute, his first response to PayPal was "airgun, not covered under Paypals T&C's, not interested" As you can imagine, my reply was "you took the money in the full knowledge it was faulty, knowing its sometimes a grey area with PayPal" His response, "I can't handle this harassment, I'm a disabled military veteran with ptsd" Then paypal find in his favour & close the dispute. WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK ? I request a call, get a nice Scottish guy call me back, explain things & ask wtf has his health or former job got to do with the price of fish & chips, & point out that I'm ex forces, currently considered disabled, diagnosed with ptsd, & also being treated for cancer, but there was no way that any of that shit is fuel for a PayPal dispute. The guy was gobsmacked, immediately refunded me, then froze the other guys account with a view to checking his entire PayPal history for what they might consider to be fraudulent transactions. What a turnaround, just from taking the time to speak to a real person, bit like the old speed cam versus traffic cop scenario, I know who I'd pick every time. Anyway, back on topic, nail this fucker to the wall lol

What about the various review sites, compareawanker.com or whatever their called, find jaeger on one of those & give him a shit one, with him being such a captain of industry, he'll respond then lol

Send a dog turd in a special delivery, see if he signs for it??

To be honest I started looking at this 2.30am, poxy insomnia following surgery, & I can't figure out if he's an unhinged Walt, or a genius in the field of Airsoft, every page associated with jaeger precision & it's various services offered, as well as his apparent (?) "teir one"? experience in every field he's ever been involved with is well written & well put together............... But given how hard it is to pin him down on a return address, I'm gonna go with the former, unhinged Walt, & just be astounded by downing street level of hype & bullshit he's put out there. Couldn't find any mention of jaeger precision in companies house, so that's another thing that makes question his legitimacy ? Sounds like leaving it in the hands of PayPal is your best option.

Easy remedy, a jetboil, spare cup & a tin of all day breakfast from the shop, hot meal in 2 minutes ??. To be fair a jetboil, or one of the decent copies, is a great compact investment, whether its for winter regular skirmishes or full on milsim weekenders, the ability to knock up a steaming hot cup of tea/coffee/bovril/hot chocolate at a minutes notice is an absolute lifesaver & can make all the difference to the morale of yourself & those around. It's a priceless asset?. Ask any ex squaddie lol

That's a very good point, that also makes me think about other variables ? Yep we're a small country/island compared to the likes of say France or USA, but we are pretty crowded in comparison ? (some would say overcrowded ?) But once you satisfy vcra, legally we're fairly lax compared to many countries when you consider some only allow semi, some have stricter fps rules, & some it's just flat out illegal, yet still they have an "underground" Airsoft scene, but with no legitimate Airsoft shops ?.

MRE's in their various forms are usually VERY expensive, unless you start looking at your lesser known eastern European menu variants, but you'd better have a strong stomach lol. For an average skirmish day, a half decent packed lunch should more than cover your need, MREs are better suited to a hard routine 72hr milsim, massive concentrated calorie intake, little waste product?, & compact packaging.

Because there are some very naive sheep in airsoft, probably in most aspects of life they're level headed & sensible, but throw Airsoft in to the mix, especially online reviews that start with the words "this am bestest", & they go all googly eyed & incomprehensible ?

Maybe it's the universes way of telling us that we've got too much Airsoft stuff already, much of which is unnecessary to just play, & every new unnecessary purchase is just a further waste of the planets resources. Namaste ? Yeah, I'll shut my filthy whore mouth now, clearly my thoughts are muddled by pain meds etc ??

Brexit probably has a lot to answer for unfortunately. Try this when searching for kit: https://www.airsoftdb.com/

Commiserations ?, maybe next time you'll buy a tm?

Kids today, they're just not expecting the swedish inquisition ?

I'm from that area, Islington to be precise but if I crossed my road I'd then be in Hackney. I moved out more than 30 years ago but travelled back & stayed there regularly, til my dad passed 9 years ago?, & my strongest memories of the last few visits were regularly hearing gunshots, sirens & low flying police helicopters EVERY NIGHT. The days seemed almost normal though, which was kinda weird, but I get why police response borders on excessive in many areas, & as you've pointed out, this is just one sides pushed narrative by an extremely biased group. I wonder had a member of the public put in a call regarding "juveniles on bikes carrying guns", kinda call that guarantees an armed response. The cynical side of me might even question was the whole thing staged to illicit a police response, that could then be heavily critsized ?.

That's what I thought ? In fact wasn't that the one that kriss lost its shit over & refused anybody the rights to, over trademarks ? Wonder what's happened to make them change their minds. Where's @rocketdogbert when we need him, he was our vector expert. No really where is he ? ?

Gotta love a bit of "Gods plaid" ??

You've just got to mount on MUCH MUCH longer clips, no one will ever know?

Was it two-tone ?, I ask as that seems to sometimes be the incentive to pay slightly over the odds, no ukara but don't want a hi-viz rifle.

Looks good, locking function not unlike the dtd, Tbh I'd never seen the ctm one, definitely looks like it would do the job. ?

I'll pm you?

@Wegalaxy, why not contact dtd, their holster is a great product & to be fair, given the number of customised hi-cappa's usually found on the field, it would be a great opportunity for them to grab a slice of what's a fairly niche market.

Without seeing the end result, I'd say probably not, mid slide rmr will probably rule out most of the wrap around types, including a warrior universal, the amplifier will probably be an issue too. You might be better off exploring 3d printed holsters, something that secures like the dtd mk23 holster, but obviously suited for a hi-capa frame.

As suspected, both of these are scammers, gone now but not before one of them turned someone over ?
