  1.  

    Thanks @Rogerborg - "Why to buy?" and in this case "combat size" is stuck in my head. What's more annoying, is I'm waiting on one of these to come via seafreight.

      Why not to buy: 12mm thread.

       

      Not an issue if you're looking for a compact pistol and don't intend to over-compensate for anything.

      @Rogerborg - Errrr.. yeah not an issue for me....I mean the thread thing, not the....nevermind. I do actually enjoy this guys reviews though.

      Ye I had one of these. They were really cool. However, I saw pot metal seams on mine and was afraid it would crack if I accidentally dropped it.

    2. Cr0-Magnon

      Cr0-Magnon

      @AK47frizzle - It definitely looks the part and this is the "Silo Spec" one with RA-Tech steel parts and TNT barrel & bucking, so shoots very well too. This won't get skirmished much, if at all as it weighs a ton, the mag is a bit of a pain to load and you need the worlds tiniest allen key to adjust hop. I agree the metal could be better but it feels amazing in the hand, I love the full travel slide and it's never splutters even in fairly cool weather.

    3. AK47frizzle

      AK47frizzle

      Im thinking of getting the l6 version at some point and running it as a primary because it was pretty damn accurate with the fixed barrel when I still had it.

      @Sitting Duck - Maaaatee...you're not going to get me down - this one has a metal handguard! I didn't even realise, thought it was just UK mark-up bringing the price to £150 but nahhhh...you get cold hard steel (Chinesium) for the extra £35 too!

      I just thought of you & your affection to DE HB's - she might react in a similar way

       

      that aside - completely understand buying something you really like more than once (or twice etc...)

       

      But people like Brenda might be a little taken back to find you bought ANOTHER ONE...

      @Sitting Duck - Haha, yeah all good fun. I have high-end guns in my collection but these are compact, have great features and are cheap. Perfect for my little cousin-in-law who always seems to cake my RIF's in mud!

  4. Always found Bolt Action rifles a bit pointless as all the ones I had were only of average accuracy at best. However I am genuinely excited at the thought of using this that's just come back from Luke @ Negative Airsoft. The accuracy is phenomenal and bolt pull so easy and smooth for something which is kicking out 486fps.

      bolties at 1j is basically airsoft hard mode.

       

      problem i have with it is you just end up so frustrated at landing a beautiful shot, the target not taking it, and being stuck without the ability to quickly follow up and often not wanting to expose your position to call them out on it.

       

      which is probably why my bolty can only lift .32's and i have 2 assault guns that can lift .48's......

    3. Steveocee

      Steveocee

      The issue I had with running a 1J BASR is the guys I shot at 15-30M ranges cried like little bitches because one was "scared of a sniper that close shooting at them" and the other was convinced I was running 500FPS and demanded.inwas chronod.

       

      Wasn't worth the hassle so dropped an M150 in and sat an extra 20M back.

    4. Skara

      What Adolf said.

      In this country there is this retarded mindset that one bb is not a hit and people need to bleed to call them.

      So most of the times I shoot at people, hit them, they shrug it off and keep playing, until I blast them in the face or where it hurts the most (inner thigh/armpit says hello), but at that point it's not fun anymore. I'd like to play more as a sniper because the overall role is extremely fun (slipping past opponents, realying their positions and movements to my teammates, taking shots to disorient them, you know, what makes it fun) but gets old fast when people just consider you an inferior being.

  5. Can anyone spot the mistake in my new cover photo.....

     

    There's literally no prize but it's the taking part that counts, right!?

      Haha, yeah of course. Wouldn't get upset over someone making a joke about my chosen brand of scope.

      that top right patch adds another 15m of accuracy

      turning any John Smith into John Wick

       

      if you can't talk, then you need to master these hand signals

      then you will totally dominate the field...

  7. Don't drink and buy!

     

    During a Halloween party over the weekend I spent nearly $300 on a "Silo Spec" Cybergun Desert Eagle from Swit Airsoft. As it's an upgrade package I couldn't even cancel it the next day 😭

  8. Feels good to finally spend a day involved with Airsoft. I'd actually missed the lower back pain and overall exhaustion.

     

    I didn't actually skirmish but have spent half the day sweeping up the BB's at the end of my garden!

      I do miss it, and whats worse is this has happened right when i've finished all my current projects so i have nothing to tinker with :(

  9. Gonna wear my (just don't give) AFUK hat tomorrow. If anyone asks me my username, I'm going to tell them it's @Rogerborg and act like an arsehole all day.

      @Shamal - Damn, hadn't thought about that. I don't even have a sporran to keep my BB's in. I would have said I was you but I don't have enough Dad jokes in my repertoire for it to believable 😁

  10. Hi Andy,

     

    I just wanted to let you know that I don't want you Cybergun AKS.

     

    All the best!

      No worries it’s marked as sold now sold last night.

      thanks 

  11. I have decided to retire young.

    Thanks for the cheese.

    Catch ya's later.

  12. I put a Guarder kit on a Marui G17 and it works!

  13. So this is what about £600 in a Glock build gets you. Which I don't feel great about but hey, kinda past the point of no return, so just gonna have fun with it.

      The slide is super light and well done overall. I've still got a small trigger niggle but looking pretty good so far....

      Very slick. If I can get my hands on a second hand TM G19, I'll probably build something similar.

      @Cr0-Magnonby kit I meant the slide kit :) 

  14. Thinking about selling another one or two of my pistols but not sure which to part with out of:

     

    - Umarex Glock 19X

    - Upgraded TM Glock 17 Gen.4 with CNC aluminium slide

    - WE CT25

    - Action Army AAP-01

    - Upgraded Cybergun Desert Eagle in Silver.

    - Umarex H8R (Gen.2)

     

    The reason you ask? Literally all of these are unskirmished.

      @rocketdogbert - Oh yeah, definitely not. I'm about £500 deep. Because there aren't enough black Glocks in this world!

       

      @Adolf Hamster - I concur. I could then put the AAP-01 in the tan Glock case I have....which makes sense in a roundabout way.

    3. Albiscuit

      Albiscuit

      I want the aap-01

  15. When you're trying to sell an AEG on UKAF but also @avenger63 is a member. If anyone is looking the buy an upgraded SCAR it's below his 963 ads, cheers guys.

     

    No hate BTW, just having a chuckle as I look in awe about the number of RIF's you're selling.

      You shifted those H8r's yet? If they were both Gen2 I'd have snapped your arms off. As it is I'd have to buy them both, move the "black bits" onto the Gen2 and then use that leaving an ugly Gen1 in the cupboard 😞

  16. Which site should I go to this weekend?

     

    With weather being the way it is and having been to my two most local sites a million times, I'm feeling a bit "meh" about getting up in the morning and loading all my gear in to my car. I'm thinking an interesting site with a good crowd will go a long way in motivating me.

      Shame his video on my BOLT & ICS got corrupted as he said the ICS was a total bitch to work on and would've been a good vid...  You don't see many ICS guns on his channel.  Your CYMA does look the nuts mate.. :)   Will be sending him my Mk46 A&K at some point.

      Cr0-Magnon

      @Monkman - That's true actually and I am curious about the split gearboxes. Nearly picked up one of their latest MP5's recently.

  18. (97mm) ZCI or Marui inner barrel for my G19X? I already have both but the colour of the Marui barrel goes with the tan/bronze scheme better.

      @Steveocee - I genuinely wish that was the case but doesn't seem like people are much interested in that. The airsoft videos which seem to pull the biggest numbers on youtube, are drama in a game and those which spend thousands on mystery boxes.

       

      Case in point, this video:

      4.2 million views of a small kid getting hurt and likely never wanting to ever play our sport again. This disappoints me on so many levels.

  20. AAP-01 came today. At work, so haven't even opened the box but on the outside the most prominent wording is "ACTION ARMY COMPANY (AAC) WAS FOUNDED ON THE YEAR 2010 AND IS CURRENTLY LOCATED IN TAIWAN".....errmmm cool, now I'm...errr..hyped...maybe have a little chat with Tokyo Marui about how to make an airsoft gun box, AAC.

  21. After briefly checking one out in my local shop yesterday, I'm very tempted to get a WE Apache (MP5A4). Any reason not to?

      SkyhawkAirsoft

      Definitely VFC over WE, I've been owning both for 5+years, WE became a little wobbly over time while vfc holds it sturdy through out all these years

    3. Krisz

      Krisz

      I'd spend more money on VFC altough they aren't the best either. Marui NGRS MP5 is the closest alternative (probably).

      I may well just wait to see if another is announced this year. Realistically I'm not desperate for one and none of the current offerings are perfect.

      Cr0-Magnon

      Collected from Novritsch 10/02. It was with Border Force from 14/02 - 03/03. They then sent the release confirmation and it's taken UPS from then until now to clear and deliver.

      doesn't sound too bad with the five weeks part now that you put it like that to be honest
