    Your custom/upgraded pistol isn't worth nearly as much as you think...

      @MistakenMexican - I know this more than most. I often see people trying to sell custom Hi Capa's for £500 or more and think "if I was going to sink that much in to one, I'd just go to Mike Cripps"....for all I know a private seller has built one through trial and error and not feeling 100% warm and toasty about the end result.

      Indeed, I've had to swallow a bit pill recently. 

      I've got a bunch of rare pistols that just wont sell for the 70% formula... and it's not because people don't want them or they don't work... it's because people don't have £400 lying around to buy a second hand pistol.

      I always upgrade all my pistols to shoot as well as I can make them, but I tend to use them a lot because bolt actions and MEDs. It's totally worth it for me to spend £250 on a TM pistol with all the bells and whistles because I need it to perform.

       

      So it's definitely worth a lot to me, however selling them second hand... I'd 100% agree. Having upgraded all my pistols, I know it really isn't that expensive to make them shoot well with all the things :P

    It's asiaairsoft rebranded (you can see plenty of terrible reviews of them on the first page of Google). I used them quite extensively a few years back but it got to the point where they sent the wrong item pretty much every time and communication was so bad that I had to go to the trouble of opening a dispute and couriering the item back to them.

    (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.

      Sounds like you've answered your own question there...

    Grrr.....seller sent the wrong thread protector. Be honest, does this look awful?

      Looks ok to me but even if it’s not to your taste that poncy looking red trigger distracts very nicely ! ?

      @Druid799 - I do like a flat trigger!

  5. Cr0-Magnon

    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 :) 

  6. Cr0-Magnon

    Not sure about this compensator. It does actually help stable the gun but makes adjusting hop more awkward. Opinions?

    Jeez, some of the advice people give out on FB, talk about blind leading the blind. People giving out information as gospel when they've only been to a handful of games.

      it is true, time served on it's own isn't applicable in all situations.

       

      you can spend 20 years playing but still have never worked on one of your guns.

      Funnily enuff hamster ?  that’s basically me ! Been playing over 20 yrs now but I never work on the gearboxes of my guns as I’m a total Neanderthal when it comes to that kind of tech work . Back in the early days I tried to(sat down in front of the PC mecbox playing) and absolutely failed to get anywhere ! I can diagnose problems no sweat , can even tell you how to fix it BUT if I try to actually do it my self ? Cue implosion of gearbox ! 

  8. Cr0-Magnon
    Fair enough, guess my mind just immediately thought of a Gate Titan etc. In all my years playing airsoft, I think I've only ever come across one stock NGRS and one stock VSR.
  9. Cr0-Magnon
    I would disagree with that. Fancy gun = fancy problems.
  10. Cr0-Magnon
    I hear ya', I'd rather having a £150 DE Honey Badger sitting unused as a spare than a £1200 on Marui NGR's.
  11. Cr0-Magnon
    Thought you'd given-up on sniping?
  12. Cr0-Magnon
    What are you talking about!? There's some seriously valuable stuff there: Cleaning rod.Lens cover for scope (Black).Dpm baseball cap.Pistol lanyard (green).Bulldog 5000 tub 0.12g BB.8.4v battery I mean honestly, every now and then I go through my spares box and just bin stuff worth far more than that.

    Does anyone know of a retailer who stocks a good range of Bolt AEG's?

      you looked at Taiwan and / or Japan yet?

    3. Cr0-Magnon

      Cr0-Magnon

      @ak2m4 - Yeah, about & £325 plus the strong possibility of customs & duty etc. Think I'll just hold tight until more stock hits our shores.

      @Cr0-Magnon crwairsoft in HK another option I believe, but yeah with all the turmoil maybe best to wait.

    Watching low budget Zombie movie "Hard Line" and they've found a WE G34....

    For me it's the opposite. I nearly quit before lockdown as had a few not-so-great days in a row and was feeling burnt out and guilty about spending more time buying and selling guns, than I did actually using the damn things. Now I'm left sorely missing having a reason to get up and out first thing on a Saturday, then getting that feeling of having earned the right to sit down, maybe have some Doritos and a few beers in the evening. Again I feel guilty if I haven't worked for it.
  16. Cr0-Magnon
    It's the gun equivalent of when Deadpool had to regrow his legs...
  17. Cr0-Magnon
    Obviously the power cord takes away some realism but I can appreciate that this is a tool optimised for CQB use.
  18. Cr0-Magnon

    That's the problem with Asian retailers, you think it's a bargain and then they sting you on the shipping cost at checkout....

      Enter a promo code...

       

      are they taking the fucking piss or something

      you would need like a 95% discount code FFS

       

      $10,410.99 x 0.95 or 5% of original BS price = $520:55

      (a bit more reasonable - ish)

       

      Yeah best of luck finding the 95% discount code

      Fuck me you could go First Class & collect it in person

      & still have change to spend on Wu-Flu hookers

      @Sitting Duck 3 weeks in a quarantine hotel currently, now if they allowed the hookers then maybe not so bad ?

      @ak2m4 thing I wonder about...

      when you get off the plane and have to stay in a hotel to quarantine...

       

      Doesn't the cabin crew also have to quarantine too ???

       

      After all they have been on the same aircraft with a plane full of lepers all breathing the same air & had to stay over in the place you flew back from on a long haul flight ???

       

      Ahhh - but they are vaccinated most likely...

       

      But you can still catch & infect others even after vaccination, hence still wear masks & social distance etc... so are the cabin crew also entering quarantine too ???

       

      Besides, I would be flying First Class with Charlie Sheen & Hunter Biden so us lot up the front are exempt from all those lepers in economy class, plus all the hookers had the vaccine...

      (even though it looked they was shooting up heroin & smoking crack)

       

       

  19. Cr0-Magnon
    So this is where the jokes that were too bad for Christmas crackers end up!
  20. Cr0-Magnon
    Also depends what you've asked. If it's to DSG your Nuprol Delta, you might be waiting a while....
  21. Cr0-Magnon
    This is the GBBR version, so yes arguably even less suitable for a beginner but each to their own. Also you can't say for sure that they'd never tried airsoft, bearing in mind these have been discontinued for some time and under 18's can't obtain UKARA, regardless of how long or how many times they've played. Not really for us to say whether that in itself is stupid or not.
  22. Cr0-Magnon
    This week I picked-up an M904N, which unbeknownst to me is the version with a metal handguard but it also comes with a mid-cap. Anyway, I've found my two are not fussy about mags, were it me I would go for something like this: https://www.bullseyecountrysport.co.uk/nuprol-airsoft-n-mag-mid-cap-magazine-30--125-rd-6mm-bbs-polymer-light-weight-21123-p.asp Right or wrong for UK spec, I use these: https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/nuprol-11-1v-1100mah-lipo-stick-battery
  23. Cr0-Magnon
    Surely long-story short, any aftermarket painting should be categorically stated?
  24. Cr0-Magnon
    Just worries me that someone has possibly gone in to JBBG and parted with like £350 to get that lot.

      @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!

      Blimey grab a few more then...

      & is followed by Brenda clip

       

      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!
