  1. I have bought from them before and "dodgy" may be a bit strong. As has been mentioned, I think it's a one man band and that man doesn't even do it full-time, as they're slow to send and very slow to issue refunds. Which of course isn't on, as you're not to know when placing an order and it would likely affect your decision to do so.
  2. I've been out of the loop for a while but is anyone running an extended inner barrel through a surpressor? If so which length to keep it sub 350fps?
  3. I personally wouldn't pay £10 less than retail but as mentioned put it up for less than you paid and reduce the price periodically if it's not selling.
  4. Hi and welcome. Simply put I wouldn't worry about buying a sniper rifle yet, which is essentially playing the game on hard mode (especially when using most "out of the box" rifles). Enjoy the easier version for a while, see how you get on. Sniping is amazing....in theory but very difficult to get right and often frustrating in practice.
  5. What happens if you insert the mag before winding? (and wind only until you start to feel some tension, then stop)
  6. 100% this and I think it comes from the Gen Z's (technically I'm a millennial) growing up with social media and realising that you can't actually win an argument/discussion online, so resort to dropping one of these phrases as to not open themselves up for analysis of their expanded opinion.
  7. It feels far nicer in the hand, probably hops a slightly heavier BB, slightly further but that's about it. Don't get me wrong, I'm 100% saying they're not worth it on a £ to performance level (much like a "fully upgraded" NGRS) but just highlighting that you can sink £600 in to a pistol.
  8. Oh my sweet summer child, this cost me £550 plus to put together....
  9. So expensive that Airsoft Mike will actually need to pay for it.
  10. Goggles under. 1) Helps ensure full seal around the eyes, which is the priority. 2) Throughout the day you may (when you feel it's safe to do so), want to drop your lower protection and have a wipe and few proper breaths etc. May be TMI but you'll find moisture builds up when you're running around, especially if you're panting like a dog!
  11. I would say there are more people not using anything, than using mouthguards. I would also say there is a science behind it, as boxers and MMA fighters also only use upper mouthguards.
  12. Same site, this looks a bit dodge...https://www.usedairsoft.co.uk/rif-s/wanted-novritsch-ssr15-new-or-used_i26291 "I am looking to buy a Novritsch SSR15 from someone either if you've used it or I'm happy if you buy it from novritch brand new and ship it to me (I will pay extra for that of course"
  13. 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

  14. There are two versions, one with a metal slide and one with a polymer. The metal slide version can handle green gas or CO2, the polymer only green gas (and possibly lower powered in summer). I have the metal slide and my preference is to use CO2, as it's around the 330 - 340fps mark and very snappy. In answer to your question, yes the same gun can be run on either CO2 or green gas mags. I used mine on Saturday and spent all day just using CO2 (you should get 3-4 mags from one capsule), then at the end I ran through the green gas mag to lubricate the internals. I've had many pistols and this is one of my favourites. The only slight negatives being it's a bit underwhelming on green gas and the hop bucking is a special type, so you can only use a select few.
  15. They're all made my APS and likely very similar internally, so whichever you like the look of the most but none of them would be my first choice on any budget.
  16. Are you in the UK? With my M904 an M100 gives me around 340fps. At £4 + £1.50 postage from @ak2m4 it hardly seems worth messing around with cutting. https://www.ak2m4.co.uk/internal-parts/springs/zci-aeg-spring-m100
  17. 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.
  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.

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

  19. 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!

  20. 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 :) 

  21. As I say, can't be trusted. Should only be for one on one situations when you've absolutely got the drop on someone.
  22. Agree, airsofters can't be trusted to use surrender/bang. Besides there are too many variables....I witnessed someone with a broken gun run into a room quickly repeating "bang". He was shot by the time the second word came out of his mouth, yet claimed it didn't count as he'd already banged everyone, if you'll pardon the expression.
  23. Not sure about this compensator. It does actually help stable the gun but makes adjusting hop more awkward. Opinions?

      it does look hella sexy though!!!

  24. This advert is COMPLETED!

    This is the metal slide version, so is fully compatible with the Co2 mag provided. As per title it hasn't been skirmished but has been holstered a few times and had a few mags through it, therfore minor marking/wear possible, most notibly on the outer barrel where it meets the slide (as pictured). It's got a nice light trigger and heavy recoil. It came with the green gas mag and I bought the Co2 for winter use, making it a versatile sidearm. When I chronoed at home using the latter, it was right up on the 350fps mark, dropping to around 330fps after the first few shots. However due to variances in chrono's and how gas guns perform, I can't make any guarantees on that front. Overall I like this sidearm, it's solid and realistic without being too heavy. The included Amomax holster is specifically designed for this RIF, so it doesnt move around as you run and being active retention a quick push of the button as you draw offers a quick and reliable release. Only selling to help fund another Glock build. Stated price includes PayPal fees and postage via tracked courier service. Any questions are usually answered quickly but please PM as I don't get notifications of anything asked on the advert.

  25. 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 !
