    Exactly, and it'll vary from shop to shop, and whether they're making their money on flogging many small items, or a few bigguns.
     
    It's annoying to have a range of prices, but that's how free markets should and do work.

    UCAP have been against 2 tones since they were an idea, the reasoning is that the defence against the VCRA was that airsoft needed RIFs to aid in the suspension of disbelief when re-enacting military/LE scenarios and IFs undermine that concept.
     
    I say vote with your wallet and go wherever works for you, it's not like there's no alternative nowadays.

    Some feedback, similar to what has been said already:
     
    - despite the title, the overall look of the page is pretty unexciting, definitely need better graphics, also go read up on landing page design.
    - other have mentioned spelling mistakes, there's some weird capitalisation as well (UK in lower case, capitals in your domain name).
    - the click to submit button needs some padding between the text and border.
    - collecting and storing email addresses (even without any other info) means you are processing personal data in the eyes of the law. You need to make sure you are compliant.
     
    Some of this might seem like nitpicking, but even to people unable to point out the errors specifically, it can take away from how trustworthy the site is perceived to be.

    tinkle60 reacted to GreatWhiteKAC in New Airsoft Clone Sub Reddit! R/AirsoftClones   
    R/AirsoftClones on Reddit 
     
    Hey everyone, I hope it’s okay that I post this here, me and a few friends who love building airsoft clones of military and law enforcement weapons from around the world have started a new sub Reddit for like minded airsoft nerds to hangout, discuss clone building and show off our builds! 
     
    You might ask, “what is airsoft clone building?” Well, it’s somewhat of a niche hobby that has its routes in the real steel clone building world. Where guys build near identical copies of military and law enforcement guns like the ever popular MK18 and Block II as well as other military and LEO builds like the MK12 Mod 1 and the FBI Hostage Rescue Team rifle. Now, In the real steel clone world, they are pretty strict, most builders are accurate down to the smallest parts like having the correct Bolt Carrier, sling mounts, sights, barrels, etc etc etc. This hobby in the real steel world has taken off over the last few years and as such it has also gained popularity in the Airsoft community. 
     
    Now, the kind of accuracy the real steel guys aim for is obviously not exactly possible with airsoft. We don’t have access to things like keyhole marked Colt upper receivers or Colt marked 10.3” barrels. Maybe the PTW guys have HAO parts that get close, but, for regular AEG’s or GBBR’s we are limited to getting as close as we can with what’s available. 
     
    so, when it comes to airsoft clones, all we ask is that you’re at least showing an obvious effort towards cloning your rifle to look like it’s real military/LE counterpart. That means a tan combat machine with a black quad rail is NOT a MK18 Mod 1. You are least would want to have a black receiver set with a Daniel Defense mk18 rail and some of the correct accessories (airsoft replicas are of course the norm as a real eotech or PEQ-15 is going to be prohibitively expensive for most airsoft builders)
     
    So, if that sounds like something you’d like to check out or possibly come post and join. We would love to have you! 
     
    The subreddit is called R/AirsoftClones so just come over to Reddit and search for us! 
     
    Thanks for reading and to the mods of this forum, thank you for allowing this post! I really hope I’m not stepping on anyones toes here as that’s not my intention!

    tinkle60 reacted to EDcase in Sending RIF in post without UKARA   
    Supply/Retail companies have deals with delivery firms so a company sending products is a different situation to public sending the same product.
     
    ParcelForce48 is the only carrier that will officially take a replica.
    With any other service there's a risk of it being destroyed if discovered.

    tinkle60 got a reaction from Rogerborg in Sending RIF in post without UKARA   
    it's going to depend on which depots/sorting centres they go to, the level of security (for parcels) will vary from site to site. Lost it, no recourse since it was a prohibited item and wouldn't send it back to me since it was a prohibited item.
     
     
    You think they would have told me if that was the case?

    This is like a reenactment of the world's longest dick measuring contest, with the usual spats over top-or-bottom, shaft-vs-balls.
     
    Incidentally, none of these rules/guidelines appear to be listed on the Guinness site. https://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/96291-longest-airsoft-target-shot

    I used to work for a retailer and handled all imports including TM products from Japan. We didn't share or divide up our stock.
     
    I know of 5 other retailers from first hand conversations who also import their own stock and 1 more from their social media posts. There's likely to be more.

    My only experience of sniping was a gas Tanaka M40 with a cracked hop chamber and Digicon BBs (ie bad), couldn't hit the broad side of a barn. Can sniper rifles reliably hit a head sized target beyond MED? By reliably, I don't mean youtube 'hit rates'.

    I’m definitely in the “both sides are trying to screw us over” camp . 
    on the one side you have the U.K. Gov(and I don’t care wether it’s the tories or Labour in power they both would pull the same stunt) seeing a new ATM has opened up and they don’t need a card or an account to draw as much money as they want out of it , then on the other side you’ve got the EU who are desperately trying everything they can to stop Brexit having any kind of success no matter how large or small it may be simply because they know if there is any benefit out of it for the U.K. then their whole house of cards will come crashing down and the dream of one super state ruled by France and Germany is dead in the water . 
    having spoken to a few different European nationals over the past year or so about it who’ve said how much they want Brexit to work so their own countries can do the same and get out I really do believe this is the EU’s controlling powers game plan .
