@Musica you were simply advertising an unconventional profession as a foot model... You're not responsible for @Tackle trying sneak in a quick sale.

Just thought I'd throw a feeler out. Are any of you find upstanding gentlemen with MWS' looking to part with the KAC RIS which it comes with? If so please can you give me a heads up what you'd be looking for. I've ordered my M4A1 and I can't wait for it to arrive. I was originally hesitant to enter the world of GBBR's for a variety of reasons but since ordering I've really been bit by the bug when it comes to researching and tracking down parts for a project. I've already got it fixed in my head what I'm doing with it and can't wait to get it into the field.

@Tackle - In my book (as nasty as it may sound) as soon as it leaves the retailer you can immediately knock 20% off the value (the VAT). Another factor as well, and it doesn't necessarily apply to this particular case, is that the private seller doesn't have the same/backing resources that a genuine retailer has. We've all seen it where people stick guns up for retail (or more in some cases) but what they don't seem to realise is that the big advantage of buying new from a retailer is the warranty (and if applicable, returns policy). When it comes to flash hiders there are plenty of examples on eBay for a fraction of the price which this seller is asking for... will they have the correct markings? Not necessarily but it's a cheaper option than a second flash hider and who's to say that the seller didn't mangle the threads? Just for that hint of cynicism.

Dropped a message concerning the magazines. I can't wait for my M4A1 to arrive, I just wish I could find all the parts I'm searching for. Some are proving quite elusive.

Tokyo Marui M4A1 MWS for £390

@clumpyedge they are. I haven't really been interested in BB ones as a lot of those available have seemed to be quite flimsy compared to their BFG counterparts. There's also the added negative of significantly increased reload times but from what I've read and seen this one seems to be durable and reliable. My main thought with picking it up is that I'll use it as a follow up to a BFG when I suspect/know people are/were in the kill vicinity and I didn't gain any kills. Perhaps a foolish notion but I'll see what happens. As an added bonus the alleged effective range on the BB's being fired out is a 10 meter radius. @Druid799 my thoughts exactly.

In a moment of weakness I decided to order one of the Strataim Nova grenades. I was reading an article on them the other day and decided to take the plunge.

I'm not sure where this belongs but I don't suppose anyone has a general purpose discount code for either Tactical-kit.co.uk or UKTactical.com?

@Darkmikey22 - I must admit I'm very jealous of the PKP although I doubt it would be something I'd use. What do you think of it so far? Assuming you've had chance to field it. Regarding your collection of British forces inspired guns, which L85 are you running?

@ImTriggerHappy - I can't say I know, or encounter, many who do wear helmets in CQC due to the negatives. I agree that the overwhelming majority wear them for cosmetic appearance but your tone is rather disingenuous. Am I foolish enough to think mine will protect me from a fall, such as that you'd experience on a push bike? Not in the slightest. Do I think that it'll provide that bit of protection to save me a hospital trip in the event I whack my head on a support beam or if someone lobs a TRMR round a corner without looking? Almost certainly. Admittedly this year a rated helmet is on my list of purchases.

As far as a helmet for a larger noggin' goes - Airframe this is the best solution I found, short of going for a real lid. @Eddie The Headshot - I wear one for protection, due to medical reasons. I suspect the majority of people wear them for the "tacticool" (I loathe this term) look. @Seven more or less summed it up nicely. On a sidenote at sites which allow TAG rounds and events which allow them I personally think they should be a mandatory requirement. @ImTriggerHappy - As Seven has stated, some is better than none, for me personally I play a lot of CQC and it's more the danger of taking catching my head on a low crawlspace/cut through. I realise that if I want any serious protection I'll need something actually rated for it but for just catching a door frame I've found my current one to be more than sufficient for the task.

Tokyo Marui G36K low/mid-cap recommendations - I'm looking for recommendations for compatible low cap's (will consider mid) for the TM G36K. In particular I was looking at the 45 round Ares lo-cap's, can anyone confirm if these are fully compatible? @Game Cam - This may be outside of your budget but the warranty offered for the sight is second to none and it is rated for real firearms (to the best of my knowledge). Also if retaining zero is a point of consideration then you won't go wrong with the Vortex - Crossfire Red Dot.

Currently suffering a brain fart, is it recommended to clean & lubricate a pistol (in this case a TM) prior to first use? I feel a bit embarrassed asking but I figure better a bit of embarrassment than destroying my new pistol. Been a long day and the old brain tissue isn't working.

Obviously it's a very expensive case? I honestly have no idea 😂

It really does look as though he's grabbed the gloss black paint out the cupboard from when he last did a bit of decorating! Let alone the stipple job looking akin to soldering iron acupuncture. 😂

@Musica I suspect that they've loaded up the listing in preparation for stock that's due in. At least reading the email I saw.

Forgive me if this is inappropriate, given it's a retailer but I couldn't help think it quite befitting for this thread... without further delay I present to you, the much anticipated, Umarex MP7 AEG

@Compulsive Reload Please tell me that you're going to be using these bad boys akimbo? 🤣

I was on the knifes edge with the JG in fairness but I opted for piece of mind... time will tell if it was worth it. I greatly appreciated your assistance and no doubt I'll be picking your brains when it comes to sticking a MOSFET in and doing an overhaul at some point, haha. If possible can you bounce the details over relating to the safe bar modification? On a sidenote I'm really looking forward to fielding this and putting some shots down range.

It's rare I post in this thread but given the encouragement from @Druid799 and with a lot of wisdom and advice from @Iceni I have ordered this little beauty: I also added in some mid-cap's, a three point sling, new hop rubber and tight bore inner barrel... just for good measure XD

Have you attempted to work out what you should actually be paying when it comes to the associated fees? From personal experience I've found that some of the fees issued seem to have been worked out using a blindfold, darts and a dartboard.

Thought that this was well worth a mention: ICS L85A2 available from SWAS Airsoft for £279.99.

Much like the previous poster I apologise for practicing the necromantic arts and raising this thread from the dead but has anyone had any experiences with this company?
