In light of a recent change made to a certain profile. I feel the need to leave this here...

They're only £155 from Airsoft Direct in the first place... What on Earth are they thinking?

You're only allowed to write in bold IF YOU'RE A MILLIONAIRE. Because if you're a millionaire, you can do anything you want! (Except effectively research how to develop a product from initial beer mat sketch to production model. For that, you turn to a random airsoft forum).

Stop Press: Millionaire with plentiful resources eschews use of such resources to procure awesome guns and buys Novritsch instead.

I know advertising is required to keep this place up and running... BUT This doesn't look like advertising, it looks like we're sponsoring him AND approving/promoting his products. So for any noobs coming here, they're going to look at our site and think that we're endorsing his stuff. Now I can't speak for anyone else, but that's not me. And I'm fairly sure it's not a lot of us. I think most of his stuff is overpriced cheap shit (take a look at Negative airsoft's video of the AEG if you don't believe me). In short. Yuck.

No new toys for me, just fettled old ones. What have you been spending pennies on? The only other pure CQB places I've been are: Halo Mill. which I thoroughly went off due to the seeming over representation of speedsofters. The Foundry. Only been once. It was good, but expensive compared to Killhouse. Aside from those, I've not done any other CQB venues. Unless you count HQ at Driffield and Camp Sparta at Kirton in Lindsey. You've probably been, but if you haven't, they're both ex RAF bases. Both have seemingly hundreds of rooms across numerous buildings to go at, alongside open areas too. Sparta looks like the RAF just moved out. HQ is a bit more rough and ready - more post apocalypse kind of thing. Both thoroughly enjoyable. But also both can be uber wank. I've found these sites more than others can be wrecked by the player, or bad game choice. Still worth a punt though, cos when they're good, they're awesome.

You going too? I'm not sure how many there are going to be. The email I got was sent to 62 other people.... So that'll be a lot different day to usual. Maybe peeps will actually PTFO lol

Managed to get a ticket for Proving Grounds on the 4th (not realising it was Easter Sunday.... 😞 ) and The Pines on the 11th. Am very much looking forward to it, but gutted I can't range test my pews beforehand. I think PG will be more of a test day than a playing day and the 11th will be a proper Pewsday.

If you're using the 60% for the stock, then the price I gave is the second hand price already, so doesn't need reducing further. New they're £150 ish.

No idea about the value of the package, but as far as the stock goes, there's nothing for the cable ties to hold together where they are, so would assume they're just to keep something extra attached. Underneath the tape is a port which is where the bolt fits to the handguard. I'm guessing he's taken it off so that the jack can feed through easier. And it's an original Hera Arms stock (I know, as I sold it to him), so on its own worth at least £50. It's a lovely stock, wish I never sold it. Or the RIF it went on, but hey ho...

Great minds think alike!

£1200. Twelve hundred quid? One thousand, two hundred of your English pounds? Who on God's green Earth would pay that, for that bundle? If you had £1200 to spend on second airsoft, just think of what a package you could put together by buying from multiple sources. Or even £1200 new!!!! £1200!!!!! 😱 https://airsoft-forums.uk/classifieds/item/15455-job-lot/

Cost over £650 from Defcon? Vector - £449.99 https://www.defconairsoft.co.uk/product/krytac-kriss-vector-aeg-black-tan-licenced/ Three pack of mags - £79.99 https://www.defconairsoft.co.uk/product/krytac-kriss-vector-magazines-95rds-3-pack/ 2 x Nuprol Lipos at (being generous here) - £40 Meaning postage and packing was OVER £80 Now either he totally got the shaft by Defcon, or there's an error in his working out somewhere. Either way, £450 for a used vector with three extra mags? (I'm not mentioning the second hand nuprols cos they became worthless the moment they were sold) - Nope. £350 and he might get somewhere

I got one of these as my first RIF. It was £120, brand new, from a retailer, with a warranty: And guess what? It's still £120, brand new, from a retailer, with a warranty: https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/nuprol-delta-pioneer-defender-aeg-carbine

True. But I was comparing it to the real one I shot at the shooting club I go to, which was up for sale at £360. Hence me making a joke with RDB when he said he'd rather have a co2 one...

I'd rather have a real one... £300? Ouchy!

That's odd. I just got the same thing from gunfire...

If only you had a drum mag to go with it...
