Hey and thanks! It looks like Strikeforce is over in Gloucester so only a bus away. Guess I'll be trying my first CQB game soon.

I have a stock TM G3 SG1 ( as well as an MC51 ) that was bought back in the early/mid naughts and hoping to get back into playing but for the time being can't. Was thinking of getting the SG1 upgraded but not sure where to start. I'd like to get it shooting a bit more consistently and would love to remove some of the TM creak if possible. Was thinking of just selling it and getting a modern version but the main options seem to be JG or LCT but as I prefer reuse over repurchase thought it'd be good to maybe bring this gun up to a better standard. Please assume I know nothing about upgrading or AEG internals myself, because that's correct, and I'd love to learn.

As per my post here I'll be moving to Cheltenham over the summer and would love to get back to playing but as I don't drive getting to woodland sites on sunday mornings via trains/buses is less than ideal so it was pointed out I could potentially solve two issues at the same time and maybe blag a lift from a local to a site and make some friends along the way. So basically, anyone live in Cheltenham?

I used to love pistol only so yea that could certainly be an option. I also hadn't thought of asking around so yea good idea. I'll know noone after the move so could be a good way to meet some people. Just when I thought I was out and all that! Thanks for the welcome back! Yea definitely asking around on here is a good shout! Perfect! Great to know it'd be easy to remove myself. Thanks! Ah right so yea if I can find a way to get to a woodland site with my current stuff I should be all fine in regards to UKARA as I have a legitimate reason. If I can only get to CQB then my current stuff ( well, I say "current" but neither are that current any more ) wouldn't suit, plus who doesn't like new shiny toys? So yea if I can make it to a woodland site I'd be fine as I have a reason, but if I want to go CQB I'll need two tone for now which is fine.

Thanks! Sadly without driving it's hard to get to woodland sites, particularly with public transport on a sunday, so I'll most likely only be able to go to CQB sites ( unless there are any woodland sites in city centres near train stations ) and I don't think my G3 SG1 will fit round the corners of many urban sites 🙂 Was thinking of buying something a little smaller than that to literally get in the door.

Hey everyone, so technically I'm not new just haven't played in well over 10 years but would love to get back into the game but have some questions. Namely about UKARA. I bought my stuff long before that all came in and then for the few years after that when I was still playing I didn't buy any new guns and played so sporadically that I never thought to get registered. I don't drive but am moving out of a middle-of-nowhere type location towards civilisation, cheltenham, which means I could potentially get over to Bristol via train for games at the courthouse however back when I used to play I was more a woodland person so only have long-guns which really wouldn't work in that sort of area. I'd rather not have to rent if I don't have to so was curious about the two-tone options. If I were to buy some two tones, play the requisite 3 games and get registered, how easy would it be for me to convert them to non-two tone. Presumably I couldn't just remove the paint as that kinda negates the point of doing it so was thinking I'd probably just have to replace the parts that have been painted. So not sure if it'd be better to sell them "as fairly new" at that point, swallow some losses, and then just buy non two-tone after that or just buy the replacement parts? Also side note, I am a programmer/game dev by trade and back in 2011 I released a little iOS/Android app called Airsoft Helper, I've no doubt there are more options now but I'd still be interested in creating some more apps so if anyone has any ideas of things they'd find helpful please let me know!
