Are these any good? I've used foreign amazon before once and it was fine. Both of these below seem shippable to the UK. Some products don't allow UK delivery though. https://www.amazon.de/Invader-Gear-Taktische-Magazintasche-Flecktarn/dp/B0927NQZ67/ref=mp_s_a_1_2 Or https://www.amazon.es/MFH-DOUBLE-MAGAZINE-GERMAN-FLECKTARN/dp/B002YADZRO/ref=mp_s_a_1_1

thanks for the advice, guys. I'll give it another go

First attempt at weathering not gone so great. I stipped the paint off the top slide of a pistol and painted 5-6 coats of nuprol UFP allowing a day between each coat for it to dry. When sanding down the edges of the slide the paint is coming off in small flakes giving a jagged edge to the weathering. The lower of the pistol, with it's factory paint, is much tougher and not flaking at all and lets me get some very neat fine weathering. What did I do wrong? Should I have used a primer?

https://www.wgcshop.com/products/vfc-original-parts-hk45ct-slide-catch-left-vgc6urv041 They have them on backorder and appear to ship to the UK still. £12 delivered. I mention this in case you're happy to wait for a restock. I've used wgc a few times and they are good and the one time I've had to use their customer services they were helpful and spoke english. Either that or this guy might do you a deal: https://www.usedairsoft.co.uk/bone-yard/umarex-hk45ct-with-1-gas-tight-mag_i28658 This has been on usedairsoft or ages

This could be nothing but I saw this picture of a LK33 on prefired this morning and noticed the box cutout around the stock just happens to be the same shape as the thumbhole stock you see on some H&K rifles like the SL8. Unless LCT start doing a G36 I can't see them doing an SL8 but thumbhole stocks do exist for a g3 and there's also an SR9 - although the angles don't look right on the SR9 for this cutout. I just wonder what LCT were planning/thinking when they chose this shape for the box cutout as it can't be a coincidence can it? I love a thumbhole stock are IMO there just aren't enough in airsoft. g3 thumbhole stock: SR9:

I had this problem too last week. They came in stock on skirmshop.co.uk on thursday and they're already out of stock now. There are 3d printed ones on ebay. (https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/304158737377?hash=item46d14603e1:g:GE4AAOSwUk5gBJSD) Not sure if these are any good but the action army ones are just polymer/plastic. Rear ris mounts are still in stock if you just want to run a small red dot.

This isn't new news I'm afraid - it was publicised in March this year but I thought I'd post in case it's of interest. 81m is the guinness world record for a sub 1 joule airsoft rifle using less than 0.32g bbs. The video is a reproduction rather than the actual record being broken and it's in itallian. From what I can tell using google translate he used the following setup to do this: g&g sbr tr16 mk1 zero-shock piston (green) double lapping stainless steel cylinder 275mm "diamond" barrel blue hop rubber "without internal groove and without internal hump" he mentions Omega but it's not clear if this is an omega nub or not he also mentions the word "flat" but it's not clear to me if this is a flat hop or just a description of the hop rubber. a bag of g&g bbs I think Looks like you can buy most of this stuff at this guy's shop which is lucky... They don't go into how many shots it took him to do this and I wonder what kind of a tail wind the record breaking bb had when it hit the target. Good on him though. It sets the bar at least.

Surplusstore are doing a tan Ares AS03 for £125. They've been like this for a while now, but I noticed the voucher code asforum5css gives you an extra 5% off. So with £4.99 delivery it's £123.49 all in. Gunfire have these on sale at £105 but with delivery and vat/charges etc this still comes out cheaper I think. It looks like there is only 1 tan one left and then they're all gone as I can't add 2 of these to my basket. https://www.surplusstore.co.uk/ares-amoeba-striker-as03-tan.html

Targetszone are doing the arp556 at £200 and a firehawk for £100. A few other deals on this page too. https://www.targetszone.co.uk/special-offers-7-c.asp
