Hello all, Being 'budget conscious' I'm wondering whether to wait for the next drop of CYMA AK's (VFC clones) or go for one of these: https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/lancer-tactical-lt-51s-aks-74m-pro-line-g2-w-etu-and-mosfet?pv=18272 Little request: Whether or not you'd ever personally get anything yourself from PB is not my question here btw, so please do keep that in mind. What I'm asking is, that given I'd probably end up getting a MOSFET, upgraded inner barrel, spring, hop up and gears fitted into a CYMA AK eventually anyway, which in itself would come to between £250-300 mark incl. the aeg itself, would it still be worth waiting for them to come back in stock, when these LT AK's seem to contain a lot of said 'upgrades' already ootb? I already own a Cyma cm.077f (M-Lok version) which I indeed had upgraded as per the above, but now I fancy something a bit more traditional looking, hence why I'm considering some form of full size AK74. LCT and E&L fanbois, I am indeed aware of how beautiful and worth every penny their own ranges are, but for now I'd ask for the advice to be geared towards the above only, if possible. So yeh, does anyone here have any experience with the LT 'Pro-Line' G2 series? There appear to be a good mix of opinions out there, from what I've seen; although a lot of those seem to be specifically about LT's M4 range (no surprises there!) Thanks in advance ?

Here's me looking a bit awkward, twice. - Russian 'Flecktarn-D' camo (Kula Tactical) - Heavily modified (by yours truly) Chicom & scrote pouch - Mich helmet with Pencott green zone cover (from my other loadout) - Bolle x800 (highly recommend) - Mechanix gloves - Cyma AK - Battle belt, with Dynatec BFG 9mm (timed) in a pouch, Russian water bottle pouch (out of shot), dump pouch (out of shot), Blackhawk silencer pouch (that I use for carrying spare mk5's, also out of shot), WE Makarov (silver...for stealth) in an original soviet closed leather holster (out of shot), general purpose pouch (for extra ammo, spare mags, etc. out of shot). All pouches are OD. The Russian gear purists will probably balk at this cobbled together bunch of stuff, but it works for me. My regular sites are woodland, as you can probably tell, but this was taken today at 'Invicta Battlefield Black Site' in Kent - a great new site; CQB, with great games, balanced rules, and brilliant marshalls.

Really?! I do hope so. Did they tell you that?

Though not wishing to make any excuses for TG, perhaps there exists some kind of exclusivity agreement, whereby they get a discount if utilising UPS' services for everywhere they post to? Or maybe UPS is the only company in their area? No idea...

Having gone through this entire thread, I've been wondering, what do we think caused all this? Is this always going to be the case now? Have some people somehow miraculously escaped this issue?
