Wonder what was the trigger for this proposal ?. I suspect that they've had a glut of crimes involving Airsoft replicas, or worse a wave of officer involved shootings where rifs were present ?

@Iceniis your man for all things Aug ?

Guesstimate, around £160ish ? Edit: just seen you've got it up for sale, given these are £230 (or less ?) new, you might be a bit optomistic with that price.

?

Personally I'd rather have a '66, same effect but much less cumbersome.

Oooh, it's spam?............... But it's Airsoft spam ?

Before I played my first game 21+ years ago I did exactly this, my thinking being that I didn't want to squeal like a right "Mary" the first time I got hit, so set my wife up with my G19, stepped away about 40 feet wearing goggles & a T-shirt & told her to shoot me lol. After 5 or 6 shots she still hasn't hit me & my then 5 year old son pipes up "mummy can I try ?" (he was a bit of a whizz on nes duck hunt etc). So she stands behind him, he adopts an almost perfect weaver stance & promptly shoots me in my left nipple, I let out a squeal which he thinks is the funniest thing in the world & his cue to empty the mag at me. The next BB went so close to my left ear I swear I heard the crack, at which point I legged it for cover until he'd emptied the mag. Thing is, I still squeal occasionally when one catches me right, inner thigh or maybe the kidney area, so some things never change, I'm still a Mary lol? As for my son, played his first game when he was 8 or 9 & been playing occasionally ever since, 26 & dad himself now, my granddaughter is 3 next week & it's only a matter of time before he suggests we set a range up in the garden for her?

I had a couple of lipos go "puffy" on me, still held a charge but I thought better off not risking it, so decided to dramatically destroy them, did everything your not supposed to but they barely reacted, how disappointed was I lol.

As has been said, "if it ain't broke don't fix it", same goes for the pistol, you may do more harm than good & your wallet won't thank you for it. Get out & play, maybe compare range & accuracy against other players guns at your local sites range (most sites have one where they chrono), you might be pleasantly surprised at the results. If what your looking to spend on upgrades is burning a hole in your pocket, maybe consider putting it towards a second primary rifle, never hurts to have two as nothing spoils a day quicker than your gun letting you down & no backup.

I think what you got is classed as a "snubnose" ?

Its a strange one, but is it "non Airsoft" ?, if I had VERY deep pockets I'd definitely consider a themed vehicle for games, Dunno if I'd have something older than me though (I'm 55?‍♂️). Is it legit to be in the gear section ?, what do you think @Jedi_Master ?

Hurrah, I finally got one lol?

Okey dokey, can you please reinstate the guys post as I'm struggling to find that option on my phone ? Cheers

While I agree, can't help but think an item such as this, a potentially high powered airgun that's also a rif, should be visible here for the shortest possible time, therefore reducing the chance of someone unsuitable getting their hands on it. Add to that the seller has been a member since November, but this is his first post, selling something that goes against the rules, which I'm guessing he knew that hence why he clearly points out its NOT AIRSOFT. I think inconveniencing him by briefly suspending his content until a senior mod reviews it, is far outweighed by the nature of his post & the potential harm it could cause ?. Fudge it, its hidden, I'm sure the mods will smack my hand if I've overstepped the mark ?

@Jedi_Master @proffrink, should we be considering posts such as this as spam ?, & hiding them ?. While technically not spam it does contain items for sale that go against the forum rules, surely better to hide them before someone, potentially a youngster ?, tries to buy it.

I've yet to "pop my cherry", you guys keep beating me to it.

Follow the rules & post them up in the correct classified section please.

I think that's just an American thing ???

LOL, I'm looking forward (NOT) to when they evolve & start sending PM'S ?

FFS, they've now started posting their shite in the "ask a question" box in normal (?) members sales threads. Its like feckin skynet ?

Obviously, I would never advocate threats of violence etc, unless its Stephen Glennie lol, but by the same token he needs to believe your serious & nor prepared to just walk away without your gats or their monetary value.

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 ?
