  1. You want to check Non-standard baggage T&Cs and find the helpline. In my experience they will just treat any gun shaped objects like a real firearm and you will just have to go to the red point telephone before/after/during your departure and arrival. "Two Tone" is not a thing, they can argue its not "over 51%" (technically just changing the slide colour will not make the rep an "IF") and the last thing you want is to end up having to go off for examination. I would pick one of the acceptable colours and cover as much of the replica as possible. Thinking about it also take the valves out the mags as they can get iffy about pressurized containers they do not have the specs for on hand. "Weapons designed or adapted to discharge other missiles including airsoft darts are not considered to be airsoft weapons. They are considered to be firearms." This should only really count for things that utilise moscarts but its worth adding a declaration to the paperwork making them aware it does not fall into this category. Would be interested to see what Airline you go with and how you get on.
  2. Cant say they will not be a wait time but https://www.facebook.com/lcsengineeringoutpost is the way to go. Also worth checking you local gun smith.
  3. Definition of a "firearm" pertaining to Airsoft https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1968/27/section/57A . Its all hearsay to me but from what I have read KM has shot someone multiple times with the definition of firearm according to the above legislation. I don't think we can legally play "hardball" as I said "I don't think you can consent to being shot with a firearm".
  4. The last time I was talking about this Hazel Blears was trying to steal my toys so I might be a little fuzzy but I don't think you can give consent to be shot with a firearm.
  5. No 100% no. Even the better replica stuff will have no issues and will hold zero.
  6. #blackadder, thanks for posting this everyone I have shown this to has reacted the same way with a massive belly laugh. Gives the "Kicking" in his name a new meaning
  7. Like these? https://www.componentshop.co.uk/battery-testers.html
  8. Tokyo Marui M16A2 with a Tri Shot M203 on the bottom, bought extended warranty and the shop closed down (Airsoft Dynamics) 10 months later. I was gutted at the time but it pushed me to get the hammer out and try fixing and "upgrading" stuff myself so turned out OK in the end. The only part I still have is the A2 stock and the two part plastic hop up as I shoved it in the stock when I took it off :).
  9. I wonder if insurance policy's elaborate in the wording exactly what "drugs" they mean. Someone playing that smokes, had a coffee or even a Mars Bar technically is "under the influence". Driving while under the influence law does state "illegal drugs" or "It’s illegal to drive with legal drugs in your body if it impairs your driving". Probably just got the tin foil hat on, but having dealt with companies in the past they will do everything to the point of lying to not have to pay up.
  10. Turn around time was 6 working days https://www.facebook.com/mphcerakoting
  11. If you don't intend to climb, crawl or your gun hitting you in the nuts every now and then its a tested method. Really popular way to carry 10 years ago. Have you tried a 2 point sling that can be adjusted on the fly? Can have it lose when in use so no chaffing the pull it tight to body when you want it out the way.
  12. Forgive my ignorance but did they actually heat and extrude the ally or just said print instead of machine? Thanks.
  13. Mine came stock with one, its just a rod that slides through the case no extra drama at all, tiss an MP5 though
  14. Mk23 SOCOM, long tight inner barrel brought up to DMR lvls of power, red dot on top. Things a beast.
  15. Nah I think you are right to put some thought into it as someone that had an undiagnosed astigmatism well into my 30s I never new why people would hype about red dots and to some extent EoTechs (although I got on with EoTechs much better). I tried a true 1-6x in a 1.93 mount last year and although a lot heaver than a T1 or an XPS I can actually make use of the reticule and defiantly have less stress in the shoulders due to the more "scope on m4 carry handle" height of the mount. I am thinking about adding a riser to bring it up around another 10mm. Sub 80m you are still going to score a hit even if you went to 5" HOB me thinks so would use the NVG height mounts if it was me. 45° RMR on a gun that uses back spin on the other hand
  16. Almost criminal your not making an AK74 mate. Looking forward to seeing the progress, thanks for posting.
  17. Just to see how fare the subconscious bias gos vs what is perceived racism. Like how people tie country vs religion vs race when really all 3 have nothing to do with the other.
  18. "To which Wang in HK replies “Wat da fluck you talk about ? I plint good nock off platches you plick !” "Hay its a mea, I is alika meat balls and da pasta da source" “Bwai, ya done know seh mi deya gwaan easy." So when you read the above quotes what person do you see in your head reading them? Are all 3 quotes racist? Is it racist to assume because someone talks that way they look a certain way? If you said Chinse, Italian and Jamaican you think the same as me. Does that mean you and I are prejudice?
  19. 7.62 100 rounders or 5.56 200 rounders should fit the bill, usually Velcro and a fastex buckle.
  20. Just gave mine its once a year deep clean.
  21. I have one my GBLS and GHK. I am not sure the time saved on reloads makes it worth it but what I do love about them is when you need to lock the bolt to the rear, its so much more intuitive not having to swap hands, worth the cost to me just for that and miss it when using an m4 without it.
  22. Found one at last, just got it so no idea about the longevity but it bangs them out nice and loud https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002002987670.html? just cut the lawn on the rider mower, made a phone call and jammed out to some tunes all while wearing the headset. Epic!
  23. In the middle of adding a load of blower fans to my helmet when I came across this little gem https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/tool/amp-arc-rail-comtac-iii-adapter now us Peltor using hobbits can still have the sexy OPS core AMP mounts with out paying out £80 for the AXL adapters or £1500 for replacement AMPs although still jelly of the 3d amplified hearing on the AMPs its almost like video game hacks. Loving this thread BTW.
  24. I have only just started ordering from EU, Emperion seems to have everything I want in one place. I cant say I have had any issue or even paid any duty (knowing that I should have done) on around 9 orders they ship direct to the UK, last order was £240 no duty or charges to pay my end. For parts I almost always go to Hong Kong/Taiwan anyway or like Speed says Aliexpress. Places like https://www.rainbow8.com/ shipping seems to be around £5 regardless of what I order and shipping is around 5-7 days. Used to use ak2m4 for my sowing machines before I got rid, as his service is always spot on, I would be very surprised if there was an SHS part he could not get.
  25. Been after a KDU for years, really over the moon. Only downside is its not compatible with previous gens of PRC 152, although the new 152 builds from TRI seem to be awesome. 12 watt, they are working with real PTTs, no issues with headsets like COMTACs that have dynamic mics.
