Plot twist, it was still racist/racism then. It wasn’t talked about openly because it was deemed too taboo to do so, courtesy of the oppression that came with it. I’m confused why the examples keep leading back to comedy, or more importantly the works of professional comedians. It’s an entirely separate matter, if you’re watching a comedian the chances are you know what to expect. When I start reading a thread titled ‘Lack of enthusiasm. Again’ on a public forum racist (though no offence intended, of course ?) ramblings is just in no way relevant. It’s just twisting the context to fit your thoughts/beliefs, you’re just as entitled to think racist posts are ‘ok’ as I am to think they’re not but spare the back in my day bullshit to try and justify your archaic view point. I didn’t particularly care to comment, but I genuinely can’t wrap my head around how anyone could type out the phrase ‘slitty eyed little yellow friend’ and not think it’s massively racist. It’s not a matter of being offended it’s a matter of presenting a welcoming, inclusive community. Shit like that just ain’t it chief.

Fucking hell. I see the white males are back letting us know what is and isn’t racist again. Superb.

Any version of NBB MK23 I've used. They perform incredibly and have absolutely earned their reputation for that, but fuck me if they haven't all been the saddest thing the moment I pull that equally sad trigger. I want a pistol that goes bang, not that sounds like a trapped fart popping out. Purely goes down as disappointing for me because I didn't think it'd bother me as much as it did, alas, disappointment is a very personal/subjective thing.

Don't tend to concern myself with others ads much, only thing that irks me is if there is something that takes my fancy put up and it has next to no information about it. When buying something second/third/fourth etc hand there will always be an element of risk irrelevant of how thorough the text in the listing is and how good to photos are. If someone is looking at an ad that is obviously not particularly well fleshed out or seems dodgy and isn't thinking much the same as you are, and then they go ahead and buy it... well frankly that's their issue. The only folks this thread stands to serve are those who aren't aware it's for them ultimately... because neither buyer nor seller will care to look.

Ta very much, though I can't take credit for the vast majority of the work for fitting things. Let's just say if it was a girl I'd say they were 'bubbly'.

*Tarkov music intensifies* Took my final delivery of ZenitCo bits from Russian this morning, small amount of filing on the mock gas tube and dishes are done. Taken months to get it all together, but I love this angry little bastard. (Tracer installed in PBS-1 for CQB)

It's common place enough at this point that I rarely even notice if folks are running around with camera equipment on, so I wouldn't overthink it. As for the potential of your son finding it embarrassing... well there's only one person that knows the answer to that so I dare say you should ask him.

Not so much a 'this is overpriced' as it is a 'it might be overpriced'... given how descriptive 'Fully upgraded internals done by a proper technician' but with no actual detail that means it's hard to tell. As is customary a word of advice for the seller, try listing what 'fully upgraded' actually means. Because as it stands you're looking to charge £80 more than one could be picked up brand new and entirely unfucked with, and there isn't much detail to justify why someone might do that.

Aye, the main things the videos don't tell you how much of a massive prick it is stripping things back down and putting them back together over and over until it's all working right. As you get a feel for it you start to know what isn't quite right once it's all back together, so know immediately where to go to correct it but before that it'll be a lot of trial and error. I remember effing and blinding all over the place when I couldn't stop one of my first G-Specs slam firing (firing once cocked without me touching the trigger) because the process for taking it all apart and stripping the cylinder out is a real process when compared to how easy it is on the SRS. Just food for thought, the videos tend to assume you'll nail it first try and aren't great for teaching the problem solving elements. The VSR is an easy platform to work on in as much as it's mechanically very simple but it definitely shows it's age in how accessible it can be to get to specific parts. Changing out a hop bucking, or stripping the front end down for a proper barrel clean is a right faff.

Only advice to throw on the pile is to get the internals as you want them before spunking cash up the wall on externals. It doesn't matter how nice it looks, if you can't hit a barn door with a banjo you're not going to want to use it for very long. It's worth doing some hunting on YouTube as to what's involved with upgrading and fettling, you can figure out from there if it's something you'd want to do yourself. If it turns out to not be something you want to do something like the TAC/SRS/T11/SSG would probably be a wiser choice than a VSR. Having used or owned most of them, it's much of muchness in my opinion. Spend hours and hours (and a small fortune) so you can take the nuts off a fly at 70m to spend most of your time shooting things within 50-60m (or as is frequently my experience, within MED having to use your sidearm). I will say I personally think teching your own bolties should be something you invest some time into learning how to do it, gradually building knowledge of what things do and don't mess with your air seal/consistency/accuracy/smoothness of bolt pull etc etc. But I get that it isn't for everyone. Granted this comes with a degree of hypocrisy, I do all my own tech work on HPA, GBB(R) and springers but wouldn't touch the insides of an AEG with a barge pole. We all have our comfort zones ?‍♂️.

Folds all the way round but takes a bit of force to get it to clip in and I'm not wanting to put anymore strain on that joint as is. Not a big deal for me because I don't ever fold it anyway, but if I was severely lacking space foldng it but not 'locking it in' is an option as is. Blisters on fingers from cinching it down aside, one day I'll remember to put some gloves on... but that wasn't today, I thoroughly enjoy paracording so I wouldn't be shocked if I do a fancier one at some point in the future. I'm off to spontaneous game down South (or at least down South from me) at the weekend and am a bit short on time so just wanted it done for now. Now the race is on to see which comes first, piss about with more paracord or cave and go full 'dragged through ZenitCo catalogue' and slap a PT of some sort on there. Time will tell I guess ?‍♂️.

Got the B18 to fit and finally got around to sorting the paracord on the stock. It could certainly be better, but it could equally certainly be worse. Have a B19N and RK-6 on their way from the Motherland, and a PBS-1 replica to throw a tracer in. Loving the build, but my wallet is very much looking forward to it being done.

I genuinely think it might have everything bar formerly being two-tone. Granted the only 'sin' in it formerly being two-tone would be to not mention it in the ad so it may well be a full house. Going into the detail of explaining that you killed the stock mosfet within 4 games and repalced it with the same mosfet is inspired, and we wrap it all up in a nice bunch of 'collection only'. What a specimen, every line is a whole new treat. Being honest the ad is actually extremely honest with plenty of information, it's just that all of that information would generally lead to the RIF being worth less than the RRP rather than twice it.

My absolute favourite part is that the only things that might increase the value slightly are pictured but aren’t included. Superb effort.

Couldn't wrap their head around the 'edit advert' tab to change the price there, had to mark the ad as complete and repost it. Rest assured if you decide to pick this RIF up you're in a safe pair of hands ?. The price is so wildly high that I'm not sure I can actually fathom the effort to give any actual advice to the seller, I dare say it'd be ignored anyway. But will say it's probably worth parking the sandbagging in the 'questions' section on the ad where it is. Yes everything said in there is valid, but we know the mods aren't a fan of it so you're only making extra work for them. The 3 existing posts should make it clear enough to anyone clicking on it that the asking price is extortionate. In here though? Sandbag away, it's been hard earned by this character.

Chest rig is a Crye AirLite, belt is Ferro Concepts Bison. The chest rig comes entirely naked so has a variety of things on it, those being (from left to right): Crye 6x6x3 GP pouch Tacbelts UK AVS adapter (underneath the placard) Crye AVS Detachable Flap M4 Ferro Concepts Mini-Dangler Esstac KYWI 5.56 Single Mag Pouch (full length) Esstac KYWI Pistol Single Mag Pouch

That's a shame for two reasons. The not selfish one being that you had a crap day, the selfish being this was a site on my list to try out because it's somewhat local-ish to me. Womp womp, good luck in your search bud.

The entire thread is full of things folks have just bought, but they post their pictures of the items once they've arrived rather than screenshots from the website. You are the only person doing it, and it's not the first time it's been mentioned. Take a social cue, wait till whatever 'you've literally just bought' arrives and share some photos of it. No one is here to see stock images from websites fella, ease off and don't be so touchy.

I’ll spare the full run down unless someone actually wants it, but I officially think I’m ‘there’ in terms of my ideal kit. Took a lot of trial and error to get there, but extremely happy with where it’s ended up. Swapping between AK and AR is a simple case of changing placard on the chest rig.

Sounds like the sort of shite you'd read in an instagram story. '...but couldn’t find motivation. He decided to tend to a single tooth each evening.' So, what would you call the thing that made him floss the single tooth a day? It's doesn't matter what phrase, saying or proverb you wrap it in, the drain you're circling around with this post is entirely attached to motivation. It's just highlighting that motivation doesn't have to focused toward a substantial change, which can make it seem like more effort is required to enact a change than you might think. You still need some sort of motivation to 'just show up', as you put it. I agree that small changes can ultimately lead to larger ones, but you need the motivation to stick to things because the excuses for not doing them come far too easily without it. In terms of my thoughts on the whole 'I'm struggling to find the motivation' thing, my honest opinion is to not bother wasting your time. If you're having to ask others for inspiration about something to get motivated by then whatever it is won't be enough to see a long term change come into effect. And that's not me trying to leave a broadsweeping 'just don't bother', but I've been there. My motivation this time round is entirely based around myself and my partner family planning, and I don't want to be a slob of a Dad. My Dad was amazingly active when I was growing up, and I want to be able to do that for my kids. Before I changed my lifestyle I wasn't going to be able to be the parent I wanted to be. And that's some proper motivation, not this 'I want to look good for an upcoming holiday' bullshit. Not that it's particularly worth anything, but this was the first time I've changed my lifestyle for the better and had aesthetics be nothing to do with it. I just wanted to be fitter, though fortunately looking a bit nicer is a welcomed side effect.
