as long as you don't add on anything you didn't earn your generally fine. the issue is claiming or acting like you are ex military. There was a former player who was a complete Walt he claimed to be ex foreign Legion but couldn't speak a word of French. Everyone though he was a twat and he was eventually banned for poor sportsmanship after several warnings. So basically don't be a dick and you'll be fine.

I started work again

couple of places have it sub £300 but the price seems to have snuck up everywhere else. still maybe pay £240.00 for a2nd hand one with no extra mags. I sold my 3 month old with 4 mags for £280.00 how i regret it.

i don't have the same budget as you but i went the same route with a base Series 70. the project fallen by the wayside

you could strip and polish 1911A1 controls but for time sake yeah go with the Series 70 Nickel

ok depends which kit OP has as one of them comes with all external controls

might as well get a 1911a1 it's essentially the same gun just cheaper

I was swithering on that as well but being a southpaw put me off. I feel it needs an M203

Other than it's size and relatively heavy trigger pull in terms of functionality the MK23 is best pistol in airsoft full stop. In terms of feeling the FN is better it's much more fun to use.

getting a dirty mac fine just do not cut the stock on that

unlikely and the airsoft ones are like 80/90 new. so new M249 with rails £350 to £450. Scope Mosfet and mag sub £200 so maybe 650 brand new for everything

£600 for a third hand two tone A&K m249 https://www.airsoft-hub.com/item/955-ak-m249-mk2

had to happen sooner or later

I have seen them for sale on the likes of Octagonairsoft st £500. £300 is not unreasonable for a hardballer

The barrel wobbles and no gas to test it, but i still like it even if it will just be a wall hanger

elite shooting centre is your best bet they specialise in Tokyo Marui Hi Capas

Can't say for sure this is over optimistic but I think it will struggle to sell. My main question is why? I just don't understand buying a £400+ gun then replace pretty much every part.

i stand corrected in stock for £210. so £40 depreciation.

so a third hand gun that's 8 years old of unknown functionality has only devalued by 15 quid that's impressive!

Buy a gun to enjoy it do what ever you want to it. just always assume any paint job will lose by value.

Gun can be bought for £115 new from patrol base so that better be an expensive scope

Yes I only sell batteries as part of a gun package if they were gun specific. Otherwise not worth it.

Practically brand new then states it's at least 3 years old.

Nothing has changed that much to be honest. The newbies just keep getting younger
