Well I was having the same sort of thoughts and I’m ‘only’ 49 on Saturday, I’ve now found the type of events I want to participate in, which are more the Battlesim / Weekend events and hooked up with a great bunch of guys all roughly the same age, I find the limiting factor is my fitness and flexibility, as I’m very stiff the day after a event..

Pop's Yoshimura did this for a living and was a legend. He would take new Suzuki engines to bits and reassemble them 100% correctly as the designers blueprint. Without swapping a single component he would get IIRC, about 8% extra power. They were also more reliable for endurance racing.
In the '70s thru to the 90's, if you bought a Ural or Enfield, you trailered it home and swapped the pistons, valves, carbs, big ends and gearbox bushes!
Those days are gone thank fuck.
Don’t forget Tony Scott who,also,did this with Honda v4 engines for,the TT

I played the Saturday game, and in the briefing they mentioned there would be random chrono during the day , but I didn’t see anyone get tested

I used to have a TM sd6 and I’m pretty sure that the TM tracer unit just replaced the fake silencer

My current employer a British Airline might not be the most stable of jobs so I enquired about HGV training and the 2 companies I spoke to both are fully booked up until the New year for New Pupils

I cut my teeth at Ambush Chobham (run by Charlie James) and I look back on those days so fondly.
I dunno if it was the mud (omg it was muddy. In fact, I’m still finding mud years later🤣) the amazing marshals, or the unrelenting pace of every single game but, it just worked so well. It was the first place I ever played and where I learned everything I ever knew about Airsoft. The away days to Longmoor were always an amazing treat, especially the overnight games. I really miss those days.
After a few years off, it’s time to find a new site but, in my opinion, Ambush set the bar pretty high.
Very first Airsoft game I went to was at Chobham when Charlie ran it back in the early 00’s and yes my god it could get muddy !!

I’ve got an E&L essential AKM, and I recently sold my Cyma AK74su and I can say the externals on the E&L even from just opening the box are far better than the Cyma, Admittedly I have only used it for one game at Defiants recent game but it worked perfectly and seems to have a pretty good range for a out the box gun

Had noticed this my self as well , AND you’ve got Patrolbase in bed with TG so me thinks due to zero kit coming in to the country and from that zero getting to the market place and both TG and GF no longer exporting to the UK they saw it as a way to circumvent the clusterfuck that is import duties at the present time ?
You might be right as a number of items are marked as a 10~14 day lead time, Wouldn’t be surprised if TG and Gunfire have linked up with Daves and Patrolbase and once a week a van drives over from Poland, Rather than risk UPS, I work in logistics and that’s exactly what we do,it’s easier and safer to load one van to drive direct to the UK,then the driver picks up couple of loads enroute and touts around for something to take back to Poland.

I know ,I was searching for one then google popped up Daves as having stock, according to his site they only had 2 in stock priced at £260, and the paperwork and box was marked as coming from gunfire.
But looking at his site now it very much mirrors Gunfire’s site even down to some of the ‘GFC’ branded items,……..🤔

My E&L was nowhere near that price

Have been looking on TG and got a shopping basket I want to pull the trigger on, but has anyone ordered anything from them in the past couple of weeks?

Ah ok, good to know.
I wanted to go in and look at an la85 and a Rapax m5 , couldn’t get through and shop looked shut so ended up going to Reading and buying from a shop there.
I’m a little put off as if they can’t answer the phone when you want to buy something then what will it be like when you have a problem and want some support.
The shop looks closed, think you need to buzz on the intercom for them to unlock the door

As an owner of a G&P M16a1,The G&P branded mag that comes with the gun doesn’t even fit correctly ,the only good fitment seem to be the TM ones

King arms are finally re-releasing their FAL/SLR line towards the end of this year. Best wait for them. Far cheaper than better than Ares. Other than that, Brit Cold War stuff is cheep, numerous and you can even use more modern DPM if you aren't that bothered about accuracy. Just depends on how far you want to take it but its one of the more easy historic loadouts to make.
Are they definitely going to re/release it, it’s been rumoured for a long time

I wonder if it might be more beneficial, when travel opens up to fly out to Poland on a cheap deal, Get your TG order delivered to your hotel then visit the local Polish Post office and post it all back yourself ! Or depending what it is stick it in your suitcase !!!

Thanks, might have to try them out for hard to get bits.
I was also at the last RedMist game so probably swapped some plastic deth at some point !
What side? I play East German
I was on the British side, the squad I was with had a guy with the mortar, Got to say I’m very impressed with the East German uniforms and equipment you guys use.
Are you at the next one in August ?

You can usually find them on Evike or elsewhere if you hunt around for one.
@EvilMonkee do Evike ship RIF’s to the UK ?
Quite a nice thing aren’t they

Many years ago I used to play at a site in Chobham, it was at the rear of a horse training ground , Believe it was run by Ambush Airsoft/Adventures?
My googlefu can’t seem to find any sign of it anymore ?
