Tackle

I'm not even sure why we're still entertaining this thread, yes there are laws pertaining to rif use that any of us could easily fall foul of, but every thread that's EVER discussed anything along these lines have all come to the same conclusions : IF YOU WAVE A RIF AROUND ANYWHERE THAT MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC CAN SEE YOU, YOU WILL GET A VISIT FROM THE POLICE. Now irrespective of anyone here's knowledge of the laws, taking the moral high ground because "According to laws XYZ its OK to do this, so it's my right" is bollocks, the plod are obligated to investigate every call they receive regarding potential firearms, even when your in your own back garden or on private land, & there isn't a court in the land that will support you versus the police when in comes to them doing their duties in this matter, whether its them telling you to "don't be a cnut, use some common sense", or the other end of the sliding scale, them shooting you dead. Even if the attending officers are very knowledgeable about Airsoft & are polite when discussing it with you, respond with a smart mouth & you'll find yourself nicked for "causing distress" or public order offences, & your kit grabbed for "assessment", & don't expect to get it back anytime soon. Back on track, if you want to fiddle with your guns in your back garden, let any overlooking neighbours know that their harmless but realistic toys & explain your hobby, maybe even print something out explaining it in more detail, get them on board & understanding. If if you do fire your toys in your garden, set up an appropriate range with a decent backstop to keep any stray bb's within your property boundaries. USE SOME COMMON SENSE ? ?

I laughed, but I also welled up a wee bit too, seeing as I've not yet been forced to fix mine Yet ?? (my ducati that is?)

It's because.....

But do you know why he didn't do that ? ?

So you won't be buying any more then? ??

Thanks, I'll be honest I had no idea what mosaicplasty was, thank feck for Google, looks like a very good treatment if the problem is caught early enough, glad to hear you've bounced back so quickly, that's the beauty of many of the newer focal treatments, hence why I picked one for my cancer, which fingers crossed is going well ?. But the knees are beyond the focal stuff unfortunately, the right has been on its way since '95, the left more recently, but knowing what I now know I have to wonder whether I'd have had more options considerably sooner if I didn't live in the back of beyond (sort of), & under a health trust that's doing its best to fob people off by not being open about treatment options available. Hindsight is a wonderful thing ?

Let's not forget, what would the man on the Clapham omnibus think about it all, that's almost as much of a precedent as any set in stone law that anyone here can quote, it's when conjecture & interpretation become just as important when it comes to all things "GNU"., especially once the tabloids get their grubby little mitts on it.

Pretty sure your wrong, & even if your not, the last bit definitely fails the "attitude test", which as everyone knows, the plod will always win in the long run, if there isn't a precise law to combat an airsoft related "offence", a loosely fitting one will be made to fit lol. Plus when it comes to Airsoft, we need people on our side, especially the police & other figures of authority, otherwise every negative police report is another nail in the coffin for Airsoft in its current form, not something I want to see change.

Me too, BUT If I need my airsoft fix, which is most of the time lol, & the stars align enough to give me a site I want to play on a day I can actually call my own, then irrespective of the forecast (within reason?), then I'm going & I'll be packing some snivle kit to get me through whatever nature throws at me. That's what I don't get, good example, I signed up for a 72hr non stop a few years back, running in October, so obviously kit requirements need to be considered, & on the first night temps dropped & a bit of intermittent drizzle & people started dropping out with feeble excuses, but ultimately most of them had turned up (& paid handsomely) to play for 72hrs non stop in a t-shirt or ubacs & a rig, no layers to put on if it turned shitty, which considering the time of year its almost guaranteed at some point. That's the shit I don't get, as Tacticalpithhelmet has pointed out, even an old skool poncho is 20 quid & will make a world of difference. It's not exactly rocket science ?

Ffs, it's just arrived, I thought "great", opened the box, they've only sent the wrong fuckin part?

It's in Essex, more North of the county, I'm on the most southern side of Kent (I can literally hear the waves on the beach right now, so picking it up isn't an option. To be honest it's not a major part, so to speak, I was just gobsmacked at how slow ups are, doesn't help I've previously worked at FedEx for 10 years in their international division, so getting stuff around the world, often next day, or two at the most, was the norm. Tracking is now saying delivery on the 8th ?, We'll see lol??

Kinda related necropost, so I've been waiting approximately 10 days for an item from Germany, nothing gun or Airsoft related, essentially just a small basic part for a bit of garden kit. After 4 days I chased up the sender for tracking info, & as you can imagine my heart sank when the guy mentioned ups, & sure enough they're slow as fuck, so far it's travelled 669km at an average speed of 4kmh ffs, & just got in to the clearing facility at Stanford-le-Hope, & then I looked at how long it could take to clear there, look at the potential longest time?

Never understand it, forecast was shit, almost to be expected this time of year, taking in fuel costs etc, people then pay their green fees on top of that, but then give up by lunchtime ?. I've played in blizzards, torrential rain, you name it, but assuming you've got a reasonable level of kit, it should be a walk in the park, it's not like your gonna be out in it day & night for a few days. I blame all these sugar coated millenials ?

I know it, had a dog from the Kit Wilson Trust ??

I'm down in greatstone/new Romney, whereabouts are you located ?

Thanks for the review, the sites not too far from me but already I'm put off by the idea of a long slog from car park to safezone, that's kinda on me due to health stuff, but at the same time I have to question why this seems to be a "feature" at many sites, slogging through mud etc with ALL your kit isn't a great start or end of a day, & also rules out the option of working from a secure vehicle if your not entirely satisfied with the security of your very expensive kit left in the safezone area.

No, its not limited to 350fps, that's just the ballpark figure it's hoping to achieve with its current collective of parts & its set up. Same goes for its range & accuracy, its down to parts & setup, as well as its ability with semi & full auto. All of this can be fixed relatively easily, & for not a stupid amount of money. Which to me sounds like a better option than attempting to "circumnavigate' (ie break) the law in relation to the vcra. Personally though I think you should feck right off, but that's only cos I'm obscenely old at almost 55 & clearly riddled with dementia etc?

Well that didn't hang about ??

Sounds like a fair price, definitely wouldn't touch the paint, leave that choice to the next owner, it is a geartech after all?

Consider around 60-70% of the rrp of the gun & tracer, like you not everyone will like the paint job, so you'll not get any more for it, irrespective of what it may have cost you to get done. In fact I'd go as far to say it may detract from the price ?, but before you break out the spray cans, consider that layers of paint on top of previous paint aren't usually a good look either, reduces detail etc.

Talking of ebay boot "bargains", how about these, they're clearly not knackered, but that price ffs ? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/155240069807?hash=item2425077aaf%3Ag%3AchoAAOSwUpxjRtNV&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAAoPEZ5TsNFiSKdFGgqNK04XaraSb4Jyf3TbHbruZ8f0MQqtTHqO9Vl3joqYXk%2B%2F9dUak8oDHj31p%2B1Nty5rXWzKdALURmrvIQja4Q8C2ynn%2BRxdmFl2rEBLmSvnAgnz8HAYGPttTE3mmRgejMo%2FshC3K0Xg6lR7qvL37xEvdTSv8AlvXmFpCRbuY0NsiwTG4hXt23jEkotXNRlGIyT3csVxE%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR-CC2caIYQ&LH_ItemCondition=4

DA FUQ ?, I'd have thrown them in the bin long before they'd got that fooked, some people are having a ?

Just had a look & tried to buy, checkout temporarily disabled for urgent maintenance apparently.

Maybe they're away on a break, I did spot an email address on their contact form, might be the only way to get a response if they're out of the country.

Here's a thread mentioning them previously, also mention s a skirmish site they run at Lutterworth ?, anyone know if it's still there ?
