Raising a glass of single malt. Happy new year everyone and hopefully here’s to 2021 when we can shoot each other again....

A boring Systema? Wash your mouth out with a bottle of whiskey sir! But only if it’s a 18yr old single malt 😂. Why did you have to go and mention Seal Team? Now you have gone and done it. I’ll have to sit through all the episodes again for HK inspiration 😂

If I was interested in the item I would have messaged you simple as that...! Your original ad was worded in such a way it was very open to interpretation. The whole reason Macks exists is to help our members/community in their decision making when buying second hand RIFS... the fact you have now changed your advert is good. The thread has served it's purpose... End of Story!

I've been thinking of picking up an EVO Scorpion as of late especially after Patrolbase did them for £239 over the Black Friday weekend (although I believe they were the 2018 ones).... Anyway, that beside the point, this advert popped up on here and Z1. It's a 2020 model with upgrades. I mean what possible upgrades could have been done to a Scorpion which would cost £350 plus? I know with a TM you can gut it completely and prommy it to death or do whatever you want to one (I have the T-Shirt) but with a EVO? I most curious....

I missed that bit...... damn they are my local

Splendid....looking forward to the build pics....

This will be a great build! Is the HAO kit a complete one stop plug and play or will you need other parts too.

Never heard of them. And what’s this about their address coming soon? What the actual!!!

That website has had a makeover it seems. I stumbled upon it in December last year but thought how odd it had the same adverts over and over or perhaps people kept bumping them up. Or whatever.... Suffice to say I’ve not bought anything off anyone on there...

Let's face it, at the end of the day there are bigger things to worry about then extra VAT or customs duty on airsoft supplies! Whilst everyone has mentioned some valid points it's all comes down to what was agreed during the trade deal and how individual countries or even vendors will interpret it all... these things will take some time to make sense of... As @Shamalhas said life will still go on.... we will buy more British milk, British meat and British veg.... oh and let's hope our fish get's cheaper now! In theory domestic airsoft products should not increase in value, if that is the UK suppliers buy from the Far East.... of course if European 'middle men' are used then that may well be a different ball game entirely....

Original Marui nozzles are like rocking horse poop! The only place you will find them are in HK or Japan. It took me a while to find mine and then they went out of stock quickly.

I had a jamming issue on mine a while ago as you all know... I used Nuprol RZR bbs and the bbs jammed somehow and ripped the rubber and buggered up the nozzle. I solved the problem by getting a new nozzle and new hop rubber (TM) and Geoffs BB's. It's not jammed since... Moral is don't use shite quality BBs. Oh and don't pull the charging handle back a few times either coz you chamber a round each time!

Marius primary market is Japan ergo the demand for products is determined by what the local airsoft community wants. The desire to be ‘like’ US special forces or US anything as a matter of fact determines Marui’s product line predominantly. The AK MWS was an interesting release though one which I think many of us did not see coming. The fact that we have not seen anything more of it believes me to think it’s not been popular. It’s likely that a 416 variant will be on the cards as that makes economic sense as no doubt it will sell in numbers. However the current economic climate may just scupper any plans. Also the supply of anything Marui is becoming scarce to say the least. I’m not sure how long that will last though.... Do we have any Japanese speaking members here? If so ask them to get onto some Japanese forums and see what the lay of the land is like. That will possibly give some insight into what to expect here in the West

@Davegolfthis lube Dave?

Hi @Davegolfdo you mean re-greasing this part (below) or any other parts too?

Any folks using the Madbull XG02 propane adapter? It's the one which has the silicon oil reservoir in it..? I was thinking of using the Coleman propane gas bottles or Mapp gas bottles for my mags going forward... Any pros or cons of either or should we just stick to the off the shelf gases from Abbey & Nuprol etc.. thx

What the actual is that 😂 I’ve seen it all now. Let’s all run around with our Beam Spray. I mean there are carbine kits and then there is this 😂

I had to google what an SL8 was and this came up.... Roof tiles Should I let them know they have been discontinued you think?

For me it was a toss up between a TM FNX45 and the TM HK45. Then @Lex Danglercame along dangling he's HK45 at me which frankly was a great deal (thank you sir) and I couldn't resist. I blame @herosharkfor swaying me towards HK porn If I could grab a FNX45 in black (with a suppressor I'd have pondered that as I've just heard such good things about them ....@Lex Danglergrab one dude and then when you get bored of it, I'll have it off you.... but in black not that Hasbro tan colour <insert throwing up emoji> ((As they say in Star Wars..... That's no moon its a TM .... Move along nothing to see its a TM, look sir it's a TM (not a droid... ))

One of the marshals at my site has one and he let me have a wee go and fire off some bbs. The recoil on it was pretty good, certainly stronger than my next gen recoil, but and here is where the big but is.... the sound of the gearbox just sounded too 'scratchy'. Maybe it's a proprietary GBLS sound? It just didn't feel that special to me... The range seemed on par with my recoil though.... but then again mine ain't really a TM anymore

Crikey that’s a lot of money to spend to change ones mind a few days later. Nice bit of kit though. Strange thing Is there have been quite a few of these come up as of late.

I was playing around with a TM HK45 yesterday. Goodness. Incredible to hold and the blow back was strong. But more importantly the range was exceptional. And that’s just stock. I may chuck in a flamingo 50deg bucking and see what it does.

Happy birthday fella

The only bucket I know that fits a big mellon is the FMA maritime helmet. They do it in an X/XL size. That will easily fit a 58-60cm head with room to spare.

G&P tend to run a tad hot. Well my stock G&P carrier bolt group did. That’s why I got the G&P adjustable valve to tame it down. I’ll get round to doing it once I muster up the enthusiasm and report back.
