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

Good or bad ? ?

I'm guessing your north of the border, I can't claim to know the legal fine print, but @Rogerborgshould be along shortly to enlighten us & hopefully shed a sympathetic insight in to your options. Although ultimately, if purchased in the UK from a reputable retailer, I would plead ignorance to the possibility of you even considering they could have exceeded legal limits, & the blame must surely rest with the retailer ?

As you've already put landwarriors in the picture, I would recommend you screenshot as much info as you can from their website regarding these models, before they alter or delete & leave you with anything to show you bought legitimately & in good faith. Gotta ask, what brought you & your guns to the attention of the plod ?

You need to start your own thread, not piggyback someone else's lol.

That's a sore subject....... Literally ?

Geezer was married to Madonna, queen of cheap stunts, with him having an absence of tits, this was the next best thing lol

& I want my old star fnc back, I miss my baby?

Yep, come on JG, get yer finger out, your already half way there with the FAL, surely its just cosmetics to work on ?

That's my pet hate too, I hate it when I've got someone screaming in my face "COME ON PUSH UP, GET MOVING, MAKE SOME EFFORT YOU USELESS TUB OF LARD" I hate Saturday nights with the missus?

There's a few fb pages dedicated to nutters with knives lol, probably worth trying there for a price & possible sale. I was a member of a couple but got fed up with them taking over my feed, sorry I can't remember the names. (barely remember my own?)

Unfortunately, courtesy & manners seem to be dying out, ironically I think technology has has played a part in that, & it probably doesn't help when it's the school holidays too lol.

I used to keep the metal lids on jam jars, piece of masking tape with a number on each & hang them on the washing line with clothes pegs. Someone calls various numbers while the shooter then engages said numbered lid as quickly as possible, with the added bonus of an audible "ping" & a visible swing when hit, my lad used to love it & it definitely improved his abilities.

Sometimes depends on what gat it's going in to, some can be a bit fussy?

I tried to help? Or new £340 & in stock. https://bbguns4less.co.uk/products/asg-ics-hera-arms-cqr-ar15-airsoft-rifle-in-black.html

What's going on in the media/real world/TV, has a massive influence on all things, Prime example a few years ago when we were still caning it in Iraq & Afghanistan, a serving mate was meeting me for a milsim weekender, woodland in the autumn, & he realised neither he nor any of his comrades had any dpm between them, having been forced to hand the old stuff in to swap for MTP. Not a problem he thought, he'll just call a few surplus stores that were enroute (he was driving over from Germany) & grab a cheap loadout. Not a chance, literally every single one said "buddy, have you not seen the news, it's all going on in the desert these days", & were literally only stocking desert variants. Managed to sort him out something just prior to the event, but it was close. Wish we hadn't bothered though, the game was shite lol.

People really haven't figured it out yet, if your gonna overprice kit, this isn't the place to do it lol?
