Sounds like you were fortunate. I'd wager there's no set procedure dictating that every RIF must be pulled by Border Force. Rather they have a quota of random inspections or when packages are seized, it's literally because the person handling it isn't familiar with the whole airsoft RIF/UKARA concept.

Lots of fun with my DMR at Invicta Battlefield yesterday. I really enjoy actually targeting other players and taking them out on a "case by case" basis, rather than just spraying in to the general position of some movement. However as a PSA: if you feel you are being overshot/killed, the best thing you can do is call "hit!" nice and loudly, throw your hand in the air and keep it there as you quickly move back to your respawn. Guess what happens if I'm looking at you through my scope and all I can see is someone milling about or shouting....

Yes that one would be the most compatible with an Umarex 17.

In all seriousness (well as much as you can have when talking about airsoft). In a world where everyone is shouting about their differences, I often talk to people I wouldn't normally, because the thing we have in common is at the forefront.

I probably haven't seen you though....also is that the airsoft equivalent of Walking Football?

Not sure about the channel name, unless you're going for irony? Definitely a good idea to show highlights though. Unless you're intentionally stirring up drama, full gameplay videos are often boring.

Then definitely not. The only people I've seen commit to any serious shotgun use in woodland are under 25 and lean.

As above, after a year. I've unknowingly tried to purchase after mine had just expired and have always been pulled up on it.

Completely depends on your playing style and the type of field you're on. They can be effective, you just need to get up close, so charging forward with no fear is a must. I will add, the above is obviously far easier in CQB/urban than large open woodland.

I'd never trust anyone with three first names.

Does he want you to make payment via Western Union?

Decided I wasn't going to be outdone by @AlphaBear, so fitted a 129mm AA 6.03 inner barrel. Also I was questioning whether it's worth using heavier than 0.28's, as I'll be mostly using this in CQB/Urban. Getting very good results on this weight though. Oh and loving my new TTI charging handle/fire selector. Oh and before anyone talks shit about my foregrip, holding this with two hands and letting rip with full-auto, is the best fun you can have with your eye pro on! VID_20220405_163604.mp4

Joerg Sprave has you covered.... https://youtu.be/j21pBoKnm04

Also, you only need to push the front body pin clear to remove the upper. Not sure why you have the rear one out in this pic?

That's a good shout. The six week delivery time and BF issues have put me off ordering a RIF directly from Novvy Boy. I was so annoyed when I saw Bullseye Country Sport had the SSX23 for a reasonable price.

It's definitely not the best "out of the box" AEG. Out of all the many RIF's I've owned, that title belongs to the Modify XTC-G1-MS Aster. My Krytac was fine, though like you I noticed little to no difference with a prommy barrel fitted. I'm also a big proponent for keeping the stock hop unit when it's a rotary design. Although understand your pain with the Krytac, as losing a small pin can render it useless or at least you having to bodge an alternative. My advice would be not to throw good money after bad, stick to the stock inner barrel as you already have it.

I wouldn't be surprised if yours was around 330fps on. 0.20g. This was done on Abbey Predator. I was going back and forth between indoors and out, testing various weights with the hop set etc. Fair to say not cold conditions though. I will also add that while it obviously doesn't matter in CQB. If you're talking full potential, 0.32g's are probably slightly on the light side.

What do you think of it?

I noticed on a warm day and using the drum mag, I was running slightly hot. So have reverted to the stock inner (which seems more than adequate to me anyway). I'm getting very consistent results, just below the joule limit. This one did make me chuckle though..

I should make it clear, that's not me in the images.

Here was me thinking I just needed to use a grey pistol to blend in.....

It is a bit tragic that even high-end parts often need modifying to fit with something from the same factory. Take Guarder - What's that, you have a Guarder frame, chassis and hammer unit? Yeah you'll need to do some fettling to get this Guarder slide to run a long them smoothly.

Edit: wrong thread 😬

Not that much actually. 150mm maple leaf crazy jet (you may need to stick to 129mm on the stock upper), flamingo 50 degree bucking, CNC rotary hop unit, hadron shortstroke kit and TTI flat trigger as the pull on the stock one is horrendous.
