    Macks airsoft dreamers of the week thread

    in General Discussion

    People pay for the ‘magic’. The polished gearbox. The perfect air seal. The fact the gun will hit bang on 350fps.... 

     

    But seriously, There will be many people who don’t have a clue about how to upgrade a gun or are afraid to do it in case they cock it up. I understand why the market is there. It’s simply coz there is a demand for it. We should never ridicule anyone whose gone down that route. 
     

    I’m an example. I know my way around a next generation recoil gearbox with my eyes closed. But I can’t solder to save my life (fitting a Gate Titan and doing the soldering in this case). So I asked KoA to work on one well two of my guns as I wanted to see how a professional tech would do it. I’ve got the T-Shirt. Simple as that. Will I sell those guns? Hell no! I’ll never get my investment back. But I know they rock and that’s all that matters. 
     

    And looks over performance. That’s an easy one. If I can hit a speed softer between the eyes it’s all rock n roll. 😂

    Sorry to hear abut your arm dude.....that sucks! Hope it aint too bad.....? This is a beauty thats for sure....the AG rail does look nice...! 

     

    The question is what is the perceived value... It's like buying a new car, as soon as you drive it off the forecourt then wallop! 

     

    Base Gun say £480

    AG Rail say £110

    Total £590 @ 65% rule = £383. Now this is assuming you consider that driving off the forecourt hit of 35% fair. You can argue as this is new then say a 30% reduction is fair so £413...... Obviously you need to factor in a cost for removing the original parts too... So that's basically the SOPMOD rail... I'd say another £50 off for that?  

     

    The clone stock and mags I won't factor in as likely they can be flogged off separately......If you still have the original stock then shove it back on....

     

     My 2 cents.......

    Tough one again to appraise.

     

    Firstly ouch about your wrist.... Damn that must have bloody hurt!!!

     

    Now going back to the task at hand (pardon the pun), there are two schools of thought. Either try and sell as a compete package so 60-70% of total value. That may be more difficult to shift. Or part the rifle with the bare minimum which is one mag and sell the other accessories separately at 60%-70%. A bit of a ball ache but it’s another option. 
     

    Bloody pucker build by the way!!!

    Actually there is some method to this madness... I know if I buy a used RIF I'd always prefer having the original box too... it just makes the whole transaction better... now a tatty box may even be a deal breaker for some people...

     

    Also, in the world of collectibles especially things like Hot Toys having an original box is all part of the whole experience and actually adds to the value of the item..... Then there is a whole conversation about brown shipper boxes.... I'm not even gonna open that can of worms!!!!

    hi guys,

    question to owners of new tm mk18 mod.1.

    is it worth it? or is better old mws?

    thx, regards.

    Better to get a M4A1 or CQBR and then stick a madbull MK18 rail on it. The TM one you can’t get the rail off easily as you need a special tool which no one seems to make yet.

    Did someone mention TM recoils? 😂

     

    Look there are two schools of thought in regards to TM recoils. One school of thought thinks there’s magic TM dust in them and the other school of thought thinks they are over priced for what they are.  
     

    I’ll let you into a wee secret. It’s not TM dust it’s actually M&S dust!! That’s why they are so good and work so well out of the box oh and yeah are a tad more expensive. But you know what ? You pull that trigger and there’s a smile. Simple as that..... they work.  
     

    Yes like all RIFS you can upgrade them if you so desire. Hell even use lonex parts if that’s your thing.  But you know what that recoil will still works. It will still bring a smile to your face not to mention the bolt stop feature.  Yes I’ve been guilty of forgetting to press the bolt stop back after changing a mag and popping my head over a barricade to shoot at the opposing team and then wondering why my gun wasn’t working. Duh 🙄

    Yeah that two tone just doesn’t flow. An all black affair would look better unless you camo tape the hell out of it???

     

    The HPA bit interests me just from a technology perspective. Are out of the box mags not available or do you have to tap the mags yourself? Are there risks involved if you tap wrongly. And finally can the standard gun take the rigours of HPA?
