i was gonna say charlton but unfortunately it's now too late for me to claim that i called it..... it's an intesting proposition, you can't just do the normal gbbr trick of not having a locking mechanism as it's external, i wonder if you'd almost need 2 gas supplies- one in the mag to fire and one in the "gas tube" to operate the cycling. it'd probably be awful to skirmish but goddamn would it command respect and admiration.

welcome to the wonderful world of compatible-ish, finding out rated brands are actually shite, realising sometimes cheap stuff is good, nothing ever fits quite-right world of teching. hence the difficulty when someone asks "what upgrades do it get?" because not every part fits every gun and sometimes a really top-tier bit of gucci kit is crap when it's just not right for the build.

wow, 1200 would buy you a LOT of shiny gat.

going by the first uk site on google to claim to have stock i'd say so: https://www.onlybbguns.co.uk/aps-uarb-urban-assault-rifle go to twg it's £125 (plus postage, spinning widdershins 3 times so it won't be blocked at the channel and sacrificing your firstborn to the tax man) even if it's got an asg infinity in there that's still steep.

Damnit, that was one that i thought it was but was like "nahh cant be an mg13 mag"

Thats a, umm, what is it exactly? I can see a mk23, some m4 bits and i a magazine i feel i should recognise but dont.

i found using o-rings instead of a spring to hold the hop to the box works pretty well for minimising wobble, admittedly at the expense of making it a pain in the ass to get the upper and lower together.

ahh yes, the wonderful world of first time hpa: *looks at fcu settings* FUUUUUUUUUUUUU

ftfy

For sure, he even painted the sights to match! Exception that proves the rule i guess

and as we all know every airsoft tech working at a shop puts the maximum of care, attention and the precise skill that only comes with experience into every job they do. or i could be wrong and there could be a reason why premium tech's are a thing.....

bullpup rpk innit or for those of us who cannot understand a concept unless stated in meme form:

Yeah let it go

that's because you're a toxic member who doesn't contribute anything to this forum. oh wait, sorry wrong guy...... i dunno, apparently being new isnt the problem:

see how much better the world is when we can have open and reasoned debate where we respect each others opinions fortunately the limitations of the internet prevent it being obvious that i couldn't type that with a straight face

lockdown has us all bored, plus we haven't been out shooting to grumble about what really needs to be addressed: speedsofters

righto, dunno where he's at but you never can tell with forums folk can be on at all sorts of hours.

fair enough, i thought when you used the term "conveniently deleted" you were inferring a cover up or something. btw who do you mean when you say Ed? if you're meaning avenger then i don't know his IRL name.

i can't say i'm sold on the idea of the moderation team acting as part of a conspiracy, they tend to be pretty impartial here. you're conveniently forgetting to mention the bit where me and @Skara offered you a fair trial. i mean as fair as any other witch trial was having a nice relaxing bath, and whilst my z5 might have been waterproof out of the box i ain't so confident it's waterproof now.....

are you meaning perhaps in the ad? because i ain't seeing what you're referring to in this thread. looks like the comments have been moderated and the discussion directed here, without seeing them i can't tell if you have a point or not.

you mean this convo? lets run through it shall we: original callout, just mentioning the price is expensive for what it is, which isn't unknown for this particular seller who often will link to websites in his own ads that are selling the same gun for cheaper than his price. bit of side banter playing devils advocate and defending the pricing (part of the open debate this thread is meant to have) both countering the points raised by albiscuit, again open debate and presented in a non-offensive manner. and this is the one i'm guessing you're meaning, where it is theorised (but not explicitly stated) that the gun was bought cheaper than it's being sold for, whilst also stating that there's no rule against this practice. granted there's an expression of distaste for the practice of acting as a trader via the forums, which is an opinion that can be argued to be entirely reasonable, although in this case stated with the help of memes in the banter-laden fashion that is common to this thread. i seem to be missing the bit where the toxic bullying happened?

i've tried those, problem is the gun just tends to pull the whole rig into an awkward angle which is just as annoying. neckscarf or even better a jacket with a hood are good for preventing slings sawing your head off.

yeah, we've had to add a customs branch since brexit. and if they do (outside of people just posting for a laugh) it tends to get pounced on pretty quick, eg:

This thread is certainly an unusual setup, but its purpose is to highlight to prospective buyers what acceptable pricing for secondhand gear should be so they dont unwittingly get ripped off. It also shows sellers the issues that might lead to them not getting much demand for the items they're selling be it price, poor description, bad images etc. Sometimes folk just dont realise how an ad appears to a prospective buyer. It works both ways though, if someone drops an ad in here that's actually fair then that point will be raised too. For example the debate about avenger's fal has multiple perspectives going on. Of course it is steeped in banter, but nothing worse than you're going to encounter at your local site. But if someone is willing to take on criticism then it's a helpful environment, if they arent then it's open season for a bit of entertainment.

mate i wouldn't go admitting that in public
