I have customised a new airsoft gun and would like to sell on the original as new factory parts. Am I right in assuming that no defence is required for airsoft parts? I am obliged by law to ensure that buyers are over 18 years of age, even if I am only selling parts? Or is there a difference between internal parts and external parts? I would be grateful for your advice.

One of my two TM based Hi Capas with the left over parts, which I have put on the sales section at low prices for anyone who needs spares.
-
Thanks for the advice. Would that be a shim along the grooves on each side of the rail, or a shim over the bottom of the rails?
-
I understand now why WE brought out the Mk 25 railed version. Unfortunately mine is the standard one. The normal version has a strange sort of rail system. It is bevelled and doesn't offer enough support to my Chinese cloned Surefire X300 light. The light goes on but is not very secure. It moves from side to side and backwards and forwards. Are there any cheap clone lights that provide a better fit on this gun?
-
Thanks again.
-
Thanks to you both. The reason I ask is because I have been tempted to acquire ASG CZ P09 Duty with the metal slide. Although it has proven to be a popular gun with airsofters, there have been some problems with the hammer snapping. I just wondered if that might be a result of using CO2 rather than green gas. CO2 is after all, much more powerful than green gas.
-
It is said CO2 wears out internal parts faster because of its higher pressure. KJW pistols are designed for use with both green gas and CO2. Although they are said to be built to cope with CO2, what does that mean? Apparently they have stronger loading nozzles. Is that it, or do they have other reinforced parts? How well do such popular pistols as the CZ Shadow series hold up on CO2 over time?
-
Given the mess we are in - rising prices, shortages of goods, astronomical shipping costs, sites closing, wealth destroying green policies and growing unemployment - I sometimes wonder if airsoft has much of a future at all. Niche hobbies can only survive in affluent societies. I imagine the second hand market will become more popular with many.

G&G polymer is some of the best you can get.
-
I would just use it as it is, and on a 9.6 nimh. The G&G Raider has been around for yonks and is still perfectly playable. They are good guns, but not really worth the cost of much upgrading. Late you may get something a bit better, but the CM16 will always be worth keeping as a back up gun or something to lend to a friend. And the "better" gun will not necessarily perform any better. But it will be nicer to look at and a lot more expensive. It's airsoft after all. There is no equivalent of a BMW in this sport. All the brands have their weaknesses. None are 100% reliable. They are made of cheap components.

Thanks mate.

For the real steel, pistol sleeves or slip on grips are available from Hogue, Pachmayr etc. as you will know. And there are Pachmayr style ones on the market for airsoft pistols. https://www.amazon.co.uk/FOCUHUNTER-Tactical-Anti-slip-Handguns-Accessories/dp/B08BL4HFVS/ref=pd_lpo_1?pd_rd_i=B08BL4HFVS&psc=1 https://www.amazon.co.uk/FOCUHUNTER-Anti-slip-Handguns-Accessories-Generation/dp/B07TMDJ8PR/ref=pd_bxgy_img_1/259-2630349-6970737?pd_rd_w=dlLmU&pf_rd_p=c7ea61ca-7168-47e3-9c8b-d84748f5b23c&pf_rd_r=MDREY19VBAH1M000B9D9&pd_rd_ However they all seem to specify that they are for Glocks. Does anybody know if they will also fit other guns. The Glock has a wide double stack grip, so I was hoping they might also fit other double stackers like the Sig P 226. If not I will just have to use bicycle inner tube.
-
I have had several WE Glocks and none of them have had that degree of rattle. In fact they have hardly rattled at all.
-
KJW, allegedly. And that is probably it, unless you want to go for custom parts eg. Guarder etc.

KJW/ASG CZ75 vs Guarder custom KJW CZ75
emilianoksa replied to emilianoksa's topic in Guns, Gear & Loadouts
Thanks again. -
I've heard it said that other manufacturers use pot metal with a higher aluminium content than WE. How would they know this?. Many Americans seem to think that KJW use better alloys than WE and are generally better products. I have seen no evidence of that. In my view KJW and WE are pretty much the same. WE has made some pistols that are horrors, it is true. But then WE makes far more models than KJW and some of its pistols are pretty good for the price. Is there any reason to think that VFC and KWA whose products are substantially more expensive, use better pot metal than the others?

KJW/ASG CZ75 vs Guarder custom KJW CZ75
emilianoksa replied to emilianoksa's topic in Guns, Gear & Loadouts
Thanks for letting me know. I know KJW guns have even worse coatings than many other airsoft pistols. But finish apart, how is the general build quality ,how well does it function, hold gas, etc., if you don't mind me asking? -
I'm referring to the original all metal CZ75 the original of which was first produced in 1975, not the SP01,09 Duty or Shadow variants. This one: ASG https://www.fire-support.co.uk/product/asg-kjw-cz75-gbb-pistol Guarder https://www.fire-support.co.uk/product/guarder-kj-kp-09-cz75-custom-version As you can see there is an enormous difference in price. Bit of a long shot, since the Guarder version is not widely available, but does anybody know how different it is from the stock ASG version? I know the Guarder has better, more realistic engravings on the slide, but is that all? Or does the Guarder have its own aluminium slide and outer barrel?
-
Absolutely. It will probably be worth the money, but only if it works reliably. We won't know that until owners have been using it for 12 months at least.

The TM M9A1 is very nice. It shoots well, and even though it is heavier than most full metal M9s, the frame and slide are plastic. There are some heavy internal metal parts. The KJW is an old design based on the old TM 92f I believe. The WE gen 2 M9A1 is TM compatible, and I've read some encouraging reviews of it. G&G now do one, as does ICS, but I don't know how well they have been received. The TM is the best, but If I wanted an all metal version, Id probably go for the WE gen 2. At least there are plenty of parts available, and it is a TM clone by all accounts.
-
Anybody know what their Beretta 92 is like? Like the KJW It doesn't seem to have a functioning de-cocker, although the G&G version and WE M9A1 both do. Have G&G made a more successful entry into the gbb pistol market than ICS?
-
Sadly a pot metal receiver on an AK doesn't do it for me. Even the higher end Cyma aeg AKs have stamped steel receivers these days. And I believe the WE AK gbbrs do too. Being a TM I imagine the performance will be top notch though.

Buying from Europe was fine when we were still in the EU and didn't have to pay VAT, import duty and customs fees. I am not sure there is much point in it now. The savings are much reduced.
-
Yes, I have that one too.
