With respect I said ‘can be’. They’re not all the same, I wouldn’t and never do generalise about things, it’s not fair 😉🙂

Interesting post with some very well written out information. This sort of post is always useful for getting people to think about what they’re doing when approaching a certain situation. It’s not always obvious. Its yet another demonstration of how unaware and uneducated security agencies can be when it comes to airsoft. I don’t think I’ll ever be in a situation where I need to be carrying anything gun or replica related through security of any kind but when I do travel the golden rule regarding where I pack any shit I’m not sure of is ‘if there is any doubt then there’s no doubt’ and in that hold luggage it goes. Again you just don’t know who you’re going to get manning that scanner belt, especially it seems in the UK, where at least half of the staff on the security line seem to be mouth breathing automaton fools. You do get good people sometimes but that ain’t a guarantee. The discussions I’ve had with people about things as innocent as a camera would make you break a rib laughing. Heed the advice given by the OP and err on the side of caution….

As someone who has had pages on just giving for runs that I do for hospices and cancer etc I find this a massive fucking pisstake. Not forgetting all the other genuine fundraisers on there that really make a difference. I’m in two minds whether to message the guy but I guess it’ll go in one ear and out the other.

I can confirm that I’m 💯 a cunt. I must be, I’m always getting fucked by others 😂😂

As I’ve said before, all these chancers need is one poor old chump who hasn’t done his homework and boom it’s sold way over priced. It’s the same old game of cast the reel and hope for a bite being played here.

I know there’s already some pretty hardline gear being smoked by these Mack’s worthy sellers but this lad must be on some absolute Martian grade space dust to want 750 for that??!!

Probably one for admins…. I keep on receiving emails like the one below for adverts that have been completed (and marked as such with the giant orange banner) there’s no duplicate message in the forum inbox as there seemed to be with other buyers and the typeface of the message seems different to the others too. Is this a scam attempt or are people not understanding how the classifieds work? Stinks to high heaven of scam to me….

Get off the fence mate you’ll get splinters in your arse 😂😂😂🤪🤪

All I can say with regards to ‘prevent’, schools or social workers is that they seem to have a wonderful ability to pick on completely innocent parties meanwhile the actual genuine cases of concern slip by and often go on to commit crimes. When their incompetence comes to the surface we’re met with all the usual hand wringing and excuse making and a limp, wet boiler plate response telling us how thyre ‘committed’ to the highest standards. This sounds like business as usual, innocent parties being incorrectly hounded.

So he mouthed off big time about how he was a good seller then sent a damaged rif to a buyer? Oh dear. He’s looking great now isn’t he? Glad he refunded.

Each to their own but to me these type of guns will always be known as ‘speedwanker guns’.

Being fat and slow I sweat and steam up terribly, least that is until I made a novritsch antifog unit compatible with the ess ice glasses I have, works a treat and I haven’t fogged up again since. I get the impression that it’s different strokes for different folks and this is very much a case of finding something that works for you, saying that I’d second the novritsch stuff now as it just seems to work.

Head to the classifieds section, please read the rules first though.

When you talk to the bank the chargeback is also known as a ‘section 75’ which may help you clarify what you want to them. Appreciate you posting this, definitely a shop I won’t be buying from ever.

Thanks for the reply, it shows me an angle I didn’t think of. I always assumed it wouldn’t be too big a job to straighten the gun out with a few upgrades but perhaps not, I certainly wasn’t looking for anything spectacular just a straight shooting mostly accurate sniper but perhaps it’s more complicated than that. Kind of sucks that I’m stuck with it now though as it just won’t sell 😂 Maybe I need to look into the fine art of wall hangers 🤔🤔 Thanks again for a most helpful and comprehensive reply 👍

Evening all, Ive trawled the forum as best I can to see if someone’s posted this before but I haven’t found anything, this of course doesn’t mean there isn’t anything so I do offer my most humble apologies if I’ve missed it. I bought one of the aforementioned rifles some time back and after trying (unsuccessfully) to sell it here I’ve taken its reluctance to leave as an omen and decided to waddle down the upgrade it route. Ive had a sniff on YouTube but came away even more confused than I started although the disassembly part seems easy enough, I repair instruments for aircraft during the day so I’m hoping that’ll be the easy bit. Question I have is what do I need to buy to make this gun fieldable? Bearing in mind I don’t know all the ins and outs of upgrade parts would anyone be able to post a list of what I’d need with a pointer or two on where to get it? As it stands it’s previous owner wasn’t a airsofter and as a result it’s been sitting about with nothing more than the occasional plink, the hop screw appears to have no effect either so I guess the rubber has gone inside. All help is massively appreciated in advance! Cheers

And a great job you all do too! That post was more aimed at proffrink or whoever was the guardian of the patches, not sure how the rest of the hierarchy works here 😂

Well they ain’t said much so far, it’d be hilarious if they suddenly started taking an interest now 😂😂😂😂

Been reading this thread for a while now with increasing intrigue. I’ve always been quite a staunch advocate for the forum and its community. However (and unless there’s something going on that I’m missing) this whole patch business and the apparent radio silence from the relevant admin is quite concerning.

Welcome in both respects! It very much sounds like the airsoft bug has bitten, believe me you’re in good company here. You’re spot on about your first purchase and moreover you’ve actually done it the smart way by not blowing a metric shit ton o’money on your first gun, that’s a mistake many make who later realise they ain’t that into it after all and are then seen on Mack’s (you’ll see what I mean) trying to get back the grand they spent on it in the first place. Advice wise is just enjoy it, it’s a great way to spend a day with your lad, I dare say he probably loves the fact that you play alongside him. Its also worth remembering that most days you’ll get hit more that you’ll hit others, you’ll feel like you’ve gone a round with Bruce Lee the day after and you’ll also end up spending a few bob in addition to what you already have! But it’s great fun and this place is absolutely golden for questions and advice, there’s some really knowledgeable players on here (not me) that are only too happy to help. Enjoy!

Asking that money is heavily optimistic but asking that money for that item on Vinted of all fucking places is just moronic. Let’s be honest, Vinted ain’t exactly overflowing with airsofters is it?

I can honestly say that the airsoft community have been the most welcoming and social group I’ve ever known, even from the first time I went. I started out on my own and was having nerd level conversations with people within minutes about guns, camo and ear in general, they were only too happy to pass on tips too. You’ll find the same where ever you go, it’s certainly a refreshing concept!

The question is of course, subjective. Theres often a shit ton of opinions good and bad about any site. The only time you can say a site is absolutely shit is if you have a general consensus across the board that it’s so, opinion is rarely so polarised making it nigh on impossible to gauge. I’ve always thought that you really can’t know what joys await you at a field till you go, many places have been reviewed one way then turn out to be the opposite.

The guy selling is in Basildon, says so much.
