      Their boneyard stuff used to be reasonably priced until about a year ago

      Sadface, because they can now add "It's that or nothing".

      What about the boneyard stuff?

       @ShamalI'm dedicating every skirmish this weekend to myself. Give 'em hell for me!

      Game on!(I hope) lol

      Gonna see what this "Ban" button does I think... :D

  3. Can anybody recommend a site in the South East with walk-on spots this weekend?

      Cheers. Will check it out. By walk-on I meant not a rental.

    3. Asomodai

      Asomodai

      @Cr0-Magnon figured as much. Sites have been fully booked up very quickly since the heatwave started. Hit us up if you end up going to Absolute. 5AM start for me to get to Al's for 7AM!

    4. Cr0-Magnon

      Cr0-Magnon

      @Asomodai - That's very much appreciated. Yeah my local site when from "just turn up" a few weeks ago to fully booked last night.

       

  4. I'm not one for loadouts but today I've inadvertently gone Czech....something...

      Just wish the P-09 was Battleship Grey like the Scorpion. I do very much like both of these for form and function though.

    3. Tactical Pith Helmet

      Tactical Pith Helmet

      Nice if they matched, but they both look bloody good.  The tan pistol has really clean lines.

    4. Cr0-Magnon

      Cr0-Magnon

      Haha yeah, just me being fussy but that's what I'm talking about -the pistol isn't tan, it's "urban grey"

  5. Just started watching Inception. This is going to make me want a Beretta PX4 isn't it...

      @EvilMonkee I used to own the "HK3" one, which was essentially We with trades. Typical WE, slide weighed a ton, it vented like crazy and the paint flaked off everytime you touched it.

    3. EvilMonkee

      EvilMonkee

      My slide on my TM one cracked last year but that was after 5 or 6 years of being abused.  Managed to get a replacement slide and shes all up and running.

  6. 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 😁

      I mean, other than acting like an arsehole all day, every day.

  7. Sods fucking law! Dusting off the DMR that I've setup to use 0.36's and of course I can only find 0.20's, 0.23's, 0.25's, 0.28's, 0.30's, 0.32's, 0.40's & 0.43's 🫤

      It's fine, I've been gouging the 0.40's with a small screwdriver. It took a while but they're all about 0.36 now #lifehacks

    3. Steveocee

      Steveocee

      36's are AR food. DMR's need at least 4's.

    4. Cr0-Magnon

      Cr0-Magnon

      @Steveocee - Sounds like airsoft "bro science" to me. With hop set for 0.40's, my joule output is actually lower than with 0.36's.

  8. An excellent day at Zed Adventures Battle Lakes yesterday, really made me fall back in love with airsoft. A bit further afield than I'm used to but it was really good to finally play at a new site (had only been to two different ones in three years of playing).

      @Asomodai  - Yeah, definitely "out in the sticks" but well worth the 45- 50 minute drive (each way) for me. Made a bit easier too as Negative Airsoft have just upgraded an AEG and pistol for me, so they were waiting at chrono upon my arrival 😁

    3. Lasbrisas17

      Lasbrisas17

      Did he make a video on them? @Cr0-Magnon also battle lakes is great

      @Lasbrisas17 - My pistol he did:   

       

      https://youtu.be/yW3k2EvpB9w

       

      I wasn't sure about the purple grip when I saw it in the vid but it's darker in person and I really like it. Plus it's very snappy, you can really tell the difference between this and a GBBP with cheap pot metal slide.

  9. Supporting the local economy is one thing but this was a £45 order and the parts aren't available in The UK. So paying nearly 50% in top is more than a tad frustrating.... 

    IMG_20201001_092840.jpg

      Wezz

      I ordered a set off body pins from out the UK - 12.99 - Customs tried too charge me £8.99 VAT + 8.00 Handling. Imagine Post  Brexit.

    2. Rogerborg

      Rogerborg

      If it was actually protecting UK industry, you could see the point, but we don't make most of this stuff, and couldn't come anywhere near to competing on price even if we did.

       

      It's just more money to the exchequer at this point.

    3. Cr0-Magnon

      Cr0-Magnon

      @Rogerborg - Doubly frustrating because I realised I'd order the wrong part colour pretty much as soon as I checked-out. E-mailed the seller and they replied that they don't have it in the other colour and dispatched this one almost immediately because I was asking to cancel it.

  10. I like to think this place is owned by someone who's managed to combine their love for Airsoft and beer.

      I bet they have a large range of beers that very similar, but ever so slightly different.

    2. Cr0-Magnon

      Well at the end of the day, they all do the same thing!

    3. Druid799

      Druid799

      Plus a good pub and a good airsoft site have another thing in common , they both are frequented by grown arse men who really should know better saying things like “watch this lads !” AND said lads shortly afterwards saying “Oohh that’s gonna leave a mark !” 😖

  11. Airsoft!

      Swap scuffed TM XDM.45 for that Guarder Glock?

      Haha, blimey...forgot I even posted this. Worrying.

    1. AK47frizzle

      AK47frizzle

      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.

  12. Nearly binned off Airsoft after my detached retina. Now thinking about where I should play for the third time in a row, this weekend 🤔

      Wherever you decide just be careful out there👍

    2. Cr0-Magnon

      Cr0-Magnon

      Cheers @Shamal.

       

      Fortunately as the retina is at the back of your eye, the only real chance (or at least I hope) or something happening is if I hit by head massively hard....and no one wants that!

    3. Shamal

      Shamal

      Just stay away from bungy jumping 😉

       

      Enjoy your game 👍

       

      Regards 

  13. Two different brands, two different prices but I'm struggling to tell the difference in the actual product (even down to the black inner barrel ring) 🤔

      A lot of this sort of stuff is made by others for ASG. Same way that a lot of Laylax stuff isn't made by them (they're just a bit more open about it).

  14. Has anyone been to Ace Combat Airsoft in Tunbridge Wells? Worth a visit?

    1. Asomodai
    2. Cr0-Magnon

      Cr0-Magnon

      That one got a bit spicy, eh.

    3. colinjallen

      colinjallen

      If Ace Combat was the only site within travelling distance of me, i would either give up airsoft or move. 

  15. Just paid my second customs/handling charge in as many weeks. That's it! I'm not buying any more guns until at least next year!

      Easy to say when it's the eleventh of december.

       

      SAY IT AGAIN ON JANUARY 1st IF YOU DARE! :P

    2. Cr0-Magnon

      Cr0-Magnon

      I can say it all I want.. i'll just add it to a list of soon to be broken New Years Resolutions!

  16. Always read the item description VERY carefully 😉

      Shamal

      Haha. I was just reaching for me purse until I read the last line.

       

    2. Cr0-Magnon

      Cr0-Magnon

      @Shamal - It's OK, I'll look after you.

  17. Deliberating over which airsoft gun would make the ideal addition to a collection, has to be the very definition of "first world problems" 

    1. Druid799
    2. Cr0-Magnon

      Cr0-Magnon

      ...and nothing. Our ancestors worked hard to get us to this point. The least we can do is enjoy it!

  18. If you want to get more money for the item you're selling, remember to describe it appropriately:

     

    Clothing - It's not secondhand, it's VINTAGE.

     

    Airsoft Guns - The paintwork isn't damaged, it's BATTLEWORN.

    1. Skara

      Skara

      Gun is FUBAR - It's a quick and easy fix, I just don't have the time!

    2. Rogerborg

      Rogerborg

      Internals more shagged out than Katie Price - Test fired once in garden, never skirmished.

  19. I know it's better to be "blind" than blinded, but I'm being quoted North of £250 for glazing my new prescription inserts......gahhh.

    1. Danhc92

      Danhc92

      Specsavers do my revision inserts for about £70, £250 sounds incredibly high.

  20. Can't talk...airsofting!

      stay in front of me where it's safe

       

      are my favourite commands

  21. 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. 

    1. Robert James

      Robert James

      Zed adventures have their first game in the zoo site this weekend. See if you can get in there

    2. Cr0-Magnon

      Cr0-Magnon

      Oh, good shout!

  22. If I open an iwholesale account and make a website, then never actually communicate with my customers, can I call myself an airsoft shop? Seems to work for many!

    1. Rogerborg
    2. Druid799

      Druid799

      Sounds about right , does seem the larger and more well known the retailer gets the less they care about there customers ?

  23.  

    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.

     

     

    1. Rogerborg

      Rogerborg

      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.

    2. Cr0-Magnon

      Cr0-Magnon

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