  1. Welcome, your in the right place for good well intentioned advice from fellow geriatric pie lovers 🥮🐖. Best advice I personally can give you is don't be sucked in by the gearqueers & stitch counters, for every bit of super expensive kit thats seen on seal team or similar, there's an airsoft version that costs about 20% of the real steel kit, & it'll do the job almost as well when you take in to account how much use its likely to get in comparison to real world combat. Plus, as you mentioned your lad is your youngest, no doubt your having to pick up the tab on everything for both of you lol. Same goes for guns, yes it's very easy to blow £500+ on top line kit, brands such as cyma do the job for considerably less, so no need to get silly (well not straight away anyway 🤣) With regards to load carrying kit, go as light as you can to start with, if you are carrying extra timber, overloading your self with multiple layers of sweat inducing tactical nylon will finish you off by lunchtime, so think about what you need rather than what you want. & have fun👍
  2. "if it looks to good to be true, it probably is" Not worth the risk, if you've got even the slightest doubt, walk away. Given that it's via Facebook, I'd run like fuck lol.
  3. I've got to admit, when it comes to thread derailment, you guys have excelled on this one, quite literally went off the rails by the second post, a record even by afuk's standards👌👍🤣

    SBAL-PL pistol torch

    "This Pistol Laser enhances your pistols precision and gives more control on aiming" That is a BOLD claim, what proof can you give me that I will become a better shot if I fit your unit on my pistol ? 🤔
  5. Pretty sure it's a massive NO, ICS m4 bodies have some size difference to what is the Airsoft norm, such as tm etc. Also ICS run a split gearbox in their m4's, which again makes them incompatible with everything else. As far as I know ? lol
  6. Shamal remembers seeing them, back in the day🤣 (retreats to my improvised nbc shelter awaiting the abuse😬) PS my mate, black Trinidadian, got married in a kilt, no one said a word ....... other than the state of his legs lol🦵🏿
  7. That's pretty cool, wire coat hanger inside to give it a wee bit of stiffness ?
  8. Yeah the others are KA knockoffs & are cheaper, but not so much that they're worth taking a risk on. I meant the srs & ssg stuff are lots more pennies. Alternatively, did I see a cyma SVD springer ?, that I'd consider 🤔 EDIT Cyma is an aeg, but A&k do a springer also, unsure how workable the internals are ? (someone will know😏)
  9. I've got a ka, bought as a cosmetic project, while I've not skirmished it yet, all the reviews I checked all listed the points I mentioned as positives, & very different from the usual sniper platform internals that require a lot of fettling usually to get it right, & don't get me started on the so called vsr compatibility claims. Plus the KA can be had for as little as £150 from the likes of bbguns4less, & I know your legendary for watching the pennies 😜, the others you mentioned are considerably more expensive 🤔
  10. We might be able to better advise if we had a bit more info, such as playing experience & style, as well as current and previous Airsoft armoury ?
  11. LOL, no, October, the "great storm", fuck all great about it though 🤕
  12. Something outside of the box? While not a perfect sniper out of the box, the KA SVD spring version is easily upgradeable via a super quick spring change & aeg compatible hop components, plus straight pull cocking. 🤔
  13. LOL, I thought something similar one night back in '87, woke up looking at the stars😳. True story🤣

    SRC M4 GEN 3

    Lol, it's not hpa either, you had one job 🤣
  15. What you mean is, your not prepared to accept an opinion that differs from your own, even though Skullchewers is 100% valid
  16. So it was just clickbait ?, lol I guess it worked🤣
  17. Dunno if I've asked this question before, but a big "HEY" to players in northern Ireland, what's your opinion on the pos Glennie, he started out as a player, does he still play ?, if so is he shunned or is the fact he doesn't appear to shit on his doorstep mean that people there don't take much notice ? Just intrigued to know what players over there think.? Cheers
  18. Lol, this is definitely an entertaining thread, when I voted I voted both, I still stand by that, both are equally right & wrong in their approach & attitudes 😏 But at the same time there are lessons to be learned that we could all take from this when it comes to buying & selling. Personally, on the rare occasions I sell kit, its always "all in", if someone makes an offer, I'll consider it (I'm not Dedsec ffs😜) , & assuming it's a bog standard UK delivery there'll be no extras to be added, lifes too short to quibble over pennies, which is probably why I'll always be poor lol🤣
  19. Amen. Question to @quango2k, has it sold ?, did you have another buyer also trying to buy the item at the same time as @Musica, as he's inferring ? Edit: i asked the question because a real bugbear of mine, & it's happened a couple of times, is when you've started a conversation with someone regarding a sale, their responses indicate its available to you & your just waiting for them to send their PayPal details, & then they go quiet, prompting me to "nudge" them with a pm or two over the next 24hrs, made even more aggravating by the fact they've read messages & not responded, & then the sale item gets marked as sold, & I'm like "WTF MAN", & have been pissed off enough to contemplate shitty feedback, if nothing else for their lack of manners/courtesy🤬
  20. Personally don't mind an offers option, but it needs a comment box too, for example, a while back I sent an offer for something, seller accepted & pm'd me his PayPal, after I'd paid he then messages me to say I'd need to add x amount for p&p ???????? 😬, taking us back to his original price lol. I was too tired to argue the toss but needless to say a comment box on the offer screen would have made things clearer.
  21. Sounds like you've answered your own question, sell it for bits, make more money without the aggro. Obviously don't refund until you've got ALL the bits back & you've confirmed they're what you sent out, there are some unscrupulous wankers out there.
