Here's a top tip for you Mr. No_Face and anyone else I guess. Just stop giving a shit about stuff you have no control over. All sorts of dumb stuff used to wind me up but I learnt a long time ago to just ignore it. It's simply not worth your time or energy. It's perfectly fine to look down on society in general and the direction it's headed but simply don't concern yourself with it. Just be a decent Human and surround yourself with other decent Humans.
If I'm at some sort of social gathering (remember those) and some fuckwit is talking nonsense that isn't even entertaining, I'll just go and move to someone else/go get a drink or whatever. It's a lot easier than engaging them.
I've noticed Aliexpress gear on the whole has become faster, no doubt due to the VAT being paid at source, also noticed when I bought some HK gear that didn't require me to pay the VAT at source it arrived pretty fast as well, about a week.
Have to say since the change in vat and what not Aliexpress has become my default stop for most of my airsoft bits’n’bobs , don’t even look at gunfire or Taiwangun any more .
Yeah. That's TM releases for the next few years sorted. A2, A3, A4, 10/40 if they're feeling funky. K, PDW, SD2, SD3, SD4, SD5, SD6. They can get a lot of mileage out of the MP5.
These should fit I believe.

Have you tried Land Warrior? I know they sold some/a VFC PSG-1.
Also, a reenactment society membership allows you to get any RIF? You would have thought it was limited to older stuff.
Compare a RS weapon light to a clone and you'll see why people pay more. Sure, "it's just airsoft" but there are situations where RS lights outshine clones by a silly amount. Shining a light from outside bright daylight into a dark building for instance. Or simply the extra range you'll get with lots of RS lights.
As mentioned, it's AsiaAirsoft in a new suit. I've had two orders with AA and both times they screwed up. Can't say I have any desire to order from them again, whatever they're calling themselves.
I wonder how they define antique. Often "older than 100 years" is banded about. There's a whole lot of viable RIFs that are based on guns older than 100 years.
Perhaps the problem is UPS have discovered a time machine (no doubt in a parcel they failed to deliver) and are now having too much fun traveling through time to deliver parcels.
I was under the impression stock TM gears are fairly robust even with an M95 and once you go messing with upgraded gears, that's when you really start to mess with the TM pixie dust.
Supposedly CYMA it seems

Looks like VFC are potentially working on a P7 or are thinking about it. That or they're just trolling by reposting this from HK with an ambiguous caption.
