    I know @Skara has one. Anyone else? I was toying with the idea of selling mine but after using it some more, I can see it's got so much more potential than any of my other pistols. I chrono'ed at 350fps, dropping to 330 on the Action Army mags, around 315 on Umarex (VGC), G19X mags and 300 on Marui G17 mags. The latter two have a concave gas router, compared to the flat one of the Action Army and WE's, so maybe that's affecting FPS? I know it's still early days but as mentioned it looks to be highly modular with various carbine kits already released and many owners extending the barrel, adding handguards and stocks etc. One thing I would like to change is it has a Glock style trigger but doesn't stay back when it's de-cocked. Anyone know of a fix to that? Long and the short of it, if there is anyone out there customising etc, let's see it for inspiration and we can also use this as a thread to address any issues/fixes we encounter.

    I heard he traded-up to a VORSK Hi Capa.

    Either you're trolling or this really didn't go how you planned. Either way....meh.

    Why do I have the sudden urge to buy a P90!?

      Small, sweet, deadly. I was tempted too until I decided fuck the mags.

      I've got one for sale, £400 with everything you could need to start skirmishing ;)

      @CJSpalding - Thanks for the offer but I've just checked your ad and it comes with loads of stuff I don't need/want, so will likely stick to buying one new around the £280 mark.

    I just can't understand how people can feel themselves being hit multiple times and then feel good about kills they get after. You get those people who you literally have to shoot in to submission. Had it with my near 500fps DMR. Couple of shots to the plate carrier, they clearly reacted looked down at their chest and then around to see if anyone saw before carrying on, then a couple to the head and clearly in pain this time but no calling...until a couple more and they finally give in. By which I mean skulking away with both hands down, no audible "hit!" and walking with a raised hand. No doubt they'd also be the first to moan if shot again. Another weird one is the "I'm clearly in the game zone but you're not allowed to shoot me" players (and no I don't mean Marshals!). The people chatting to their mates, rolling a cigarette or just generally chilling by the base they're supposed to be defending, who then flip-out as soon as BB's fly their way.

    Surely just park on Cheap Street?.....I'll see myself out.

    Interesting thing about the announcement... Kennet Shopping FB Page - 4850 page likes - 524 comments on this post - 271 shares Zed Adventures FB Page - 11396 page likes - 59 comments on this post - 25 shares How come there's so much more traction on the page with fewer likes?

    Not trying to be elitist but as someone who frequents a site where you get a lot of stag party type groups, this has got to be a concern. Too many of the ones I've encountered are literally there just to piss around with BB guns, regardless of the rule-set.
  10. Cr0-Magnon
    Exactly! Also I remember ordering a "Hogwards" Glock 42 from Armsaholic, which would have worked out about £70 delivered but it was seized by Border Force. Again, VFC made but if you want one now you have to pay the full £160 - which quite frankly is ridiculous for such a small gun.
  11. Cr0-Magnon
    Reasoned debate!? This is the Internet, let's get personal! I like my Umarex 19X but haven't used it much, so maybe I'll change my opinion in time. I do agree with you though, I got in to airsoft just as unlicensed trademarked Glocks were being discontinued and even then you could pick up a "Stark Arms" 17 with all the correct markings for £90.
  12. Cr0-Magnon
    To play devils advocate, upgraded barrel, upgraded rubber, extra mag which can likely be repaired easily enough. Perhaps could be £20 or so cheaper to be a good price but I've seen a lot worse pricing. Plus I bought a trademarked WE Colt 25 off this guy and he kept me up to date every step of the way with a chrono video, then postage receipt etc.
  13. Cr0-Magnon
    Wasn't there one a few pages back "as new because it's sat on a shelf for three years"...
  14. Cr0-Magnon
    What's it shooting atm? 290fps is perfectly fine for a pistol.
  15. Cr0-Magnon
    They've literally listed the new price for both items - surely that's not what they're asking....is it? 😲 Speaking of which, those WAS holsters must have gone up in price - sure I paid like £25 for mine.

    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.

  17. Cr0-Magnon

    Try and avoid ordering from evike wherever possible. Nothing inherently wrong with them but with the delivery time and that items always seem to get pulled by customs, it's just rarely financially worth it.

      customs is the big one, it'll take a package 2 days to cross the atlantic followed by 2 week crossing the dover docks

      I recently ordered an EBR front end because...reasons. What actually turned up was two outer barrels, an EBR sightpost and gas block and a standard M14 flash hider. All in bits as opposed to the "fully assembled" of the description and devoid of the EBR Vortex flash hider. Quick online chat with customer service and it was all sorted, replacement sent FOC and was told to keep the bits I'd been sent in error. Thanks to the goods being marked as zero value there was no customs hold up the second time which highlighted just how long they'd hung on to it before!

      I don't think I've ever had anything come from the US that hasn't been molested by customs.  It's pretty much guaranteed.

    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.

      @Cr0-Magnon is actionhobbies the cheapest place you know of btw?

    3. Cr0-Magnon

      Cr0-Magnon

      @DestrO - The only other place I saw them was Crawley Surplus and they were the same price. I haven't done extensive research though, just so happens I follow them both on facebook.

      @Cr0-Magnon alright thanks.

    The guy wanting the feed lips isn't at all in the wrong there. I have to do things when I think of them or usually end up forgetting. Messaging a company out of hours is something I've done many a time, because of that (and of course most of us work during the day). Had he chased-up for a response five minutes later, the reaction would be in some way understandable (although still unprofessional). As far as I can see that wasn't the case.
  20. Cr0-Magnon
    Just read through some of that. Whatever Milspec did aside, the ones commenting "got any feedlips? lololol" likely also think the things they shout during the safety briefing are hilarious.

    Looking forward to receiving my AAP-01 tomorrow 😎

      @Skara - Annoyingly I've had a million WE Glock mags over the years and sold them all. Only got a couple of TM ones now. Although TBH, I'm not a fan of the extended ones as I don't use my sidearm enough to justify my holster being off balance or it protruding from a mag pouch.

    3. Cr0-Magnon

      Cr0-Magnon

      Looks like another batch have come in to the country. Crawley Surplus have them and spare mags in stock now too.

      Just saw a KM post/story/whatever on instagram.

      It looks like a skeletonized MP7.

    Oh God....you've opened the Airsoft Imports can o' worms...

    Never will I defend a Novritsch product again. The slide stop section on my SSP1 shortstroke slide has pretty much completely worn away and is bent after a few garden plinking sessions. The customer service response is to accuse me of trying to force the slide catch through the wrong cutout...something I'm 100% positive I haven't done.

      Errmmmm SSX with holster, suppressor and several mags, SSP1 with the same plus shortstroke slide, scope with all the trimmings, BB's, a tactical belt...signed poster, 2019 wall calendar, 200ml pot of Novritsch's bath water.

      jesus man, for that kinda money you could have bought a gun that worked!

      Damn.

      I get why you're so frustrated with them!

  24. Cr0-Magnon
    That wouldn't work. "Pay to be a premium seller, so buyers can easily hide your ads from the search results"
  25. Cr0-Magnon
    He very clearly is, even if not associated with a retailer. This is my favourite: A second hand WE subcompact and some extra mags for £190 plus postage...bargain!
