    Hi folks, The January clearout has officially stretched in February. These have only been worn once, much too big for me now. Size wise are an EU 52 which roughly translates to a UK 36". Looking for £40 including PayPal and postage. Cheers, Alex

    Hi folks, The January clearout has officially stretched in February, found another box full of bits I no longer have a use for. So I'm 100% clear these are regular AR AEG mags. These mags are extremely old, got them with a RIF I bought off the old ASCUK at least 10 years ago perhaps longer. Have 11 of them available, were very much worse for wear when I took them out of the box they'd been sat in so I've tried to clean them up a bit but please be aware they're certainly worn. I have nothing test them in, but the springs feel lively enough. Overall condition can be seen in photos, some of them took the Krylon better than others. They have 'Adventure Line MFG. Co Inc Parsons KS USA' stamped on the base plates which I believe are the trades G&P used to plant on their mags but I'm not 100% certain on that. Will also include a 30 round PTS EMag replica. Looking for £50 including PayPal and postage. I've been as honest as I can regarding age and condition of these mags, the price is set to reflect this. Cheers, Alex

    I'd tend to advise 2 tweaks (one free, one not) when running above duster/144a gas. Roll the buffer tube back one full rotation to avoid the rear screw on the top of the bolt carrier hitting your receiver, and swap out/have to hand a spare nozzle return spring (a £10 part) as they're the common failure point. I'm not going any further into the nitty gritty of it, there is a 258 page thread about just the MWS here. Main thing to consider when looking at a GBBR is teh cost of mags alongside the replica itself. They'll run you about £50 each for an MWS. Long story short, it gets expensive very quickly.

    The answer to your question is three simple letters. MWS.

    Misinformation ahoy! You're mistaking a site/sites for failing to regulate joule creep and instead assuming it's malicious intent on the players part. Hanlon's razor: Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity. I can't be bothered going over the rest of it, the chip on your shoulder is too heavy for me to lift off. Just consider that your perspective is tainting all of your opinions, and these fabled other players perhaps aren't the only one that could do with adjusting their attitude. In the meantime enjoy wallowing in your victim complex, because it's thoroughly entertaining to read the no doubt embellished escapades.

    It's broken down here if you care to read through, some couriers will also add their own fee for 'processing' if memory serves correctly but that seems to have no real rhyme of reason to it (I recall UPS feeling particularly steep in that regard). Whenever I order from overseas I assume I'm going to get hit by the applicable additional fees. Purely anecdotally I don't think I've had to pay any additional fees on anything I've ordered since COVID, but don't take that as me saying you'll be fine go for it. Also depends how honest the seller is on their declaration, in this instance RW were entirely honest on the value of goods on the form. It's always a gamble, if I'd got hit on this particular parcel it would have cost me somewhere between an extra £150-£180. But this was for something I could only find from HK sellers so it was accpt the costs or simply don't have it at all, in my head that additional cash was already spent so I very much got lucky.

    Entirely possible, with it being cerakoted I imagine the paint has a lot to do with variance in how tight thing are/aren't. Very impressed by the kit on the whole, just waiting on a can to arrive from HK to finish it. Did end up opting for the Inline Arisaka mount which arrived today. May well swap the sling out for a Trex Arms one, like the look of the AOR1 one but prefer the functionality of the Trex. Will post up some nicer photos once the can has arrived 👌

    Did they happen to use an aftermarket trigger box? Stock one slid in entirely fine, tight enough to stay put. A touch looser than in the stock receivers, taking the trigger box out of the stock receiver is always my least favourite part of working on the MWS!
  10. alxndrhll
    Sometimes you just have to full send on something you've been considering for a fair while. This was one of those times. Impeccable service from Red Wolf, HK to my door in 5 days. Should be a fun build, placeholder didn't last long 😅.
  11. alxndrhll
    TLDR I'm going to ignore the majority of the above advice and justify a purchase because I'm impatient 👀😅

    In terms of function they're all equally shit (especially on a GBBR) until you're stepping into Holy Warrior repros (generally £100+ ish), with the next step from there being real ones. If you just want it to look cool in photos then go with whatever floats your boat, if you want it to actually work and hold zero you'll need to dig deeper into your pockets. Worth noting that all repros, at least in my experience, are red dots rather than holos. Much of a muchness to most, but the information is there to do with as you wish.

    Aye, HAO rail and outer barrel.

    Probably close to record time for me receiving a stock MWS and quickly making it not stock. Very much a placeholder build from the bits box while waiting on parts to arrive. Very mayo, but as 'functionality' goes I've found an 11.5 URGI hard to beat.
  16. alxndrhll
    Some folks are just beyond help eh? As is often misatrributed to Mr Einstein, 'Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results.' At this point going into every game with the mentality that you're going to hate it alongside every person that chooses to use a tank and a line as their propellant of choice will result in you convincing yourself of anything to justify your preconception. Maybe stick to target shooting, because I'm not sure being shot back at is entirely for you at this point. I'm picturing you're a bit of a safezone dweller as is.

    Hi folks, The January clearout has officially stretched in February. More info can be found here. Colour wise they're 'brown grey' (which is ranger green to you and me), size wise they're a 34/32. Favourite kneepad system by far, and the built in shooters belt inner is a superb addition. Very comfortable, both foam and plastic knee inserts are included. Great condition, some wear from holster/thigh strap as shown in photos. Also wear on the right ankle, also shown in photos. Selling to replace with a size down. Looking for £140 including PayPal and postage. Cheers, Alex

    If it's non-functional you'd want to list it here in the boneyard section (irrelevant of worth, if it doesn't work, it's a boneyard). If it's still functional but requiring parts then here while being as honest as you possibly can about what is required. Worth noting that you should expect to loose a fair amount on the sale for no other reason than bolt actions just depreciate in value more than pretty much anything else. There is a large difference between 'putting aftermarket parts into a rif' and 'upgrading a rif', the biggest example of that being on bolties. Usual rate for a fully functioning replica is 60-70% of RRP, bolt actions tend to be 50-60%, bolt actions with known issues... I imagine you can see where I'm going with this. Just set your expectations reasonably.
  21. alxndrhll
    I always take a back up, what's powering it is largely irrelevant unless you're finding something (generally speaking cold weather performance) an issue that would be less so for an AEG than it would for a GBBR. Only real advice would be not to 'over invest' in something you're picking up with the intent of it being a 'back up'. I've certainly fallen into the trap of a spending a fair whack on something that by the nature of buying it to be a back up should, and hopefully will, rarely see use. Obviously that budget is a sliding scale based on your personal financial standing, generally speaking cheap and expensive are subjective terms. Just ask yourself before a purchase, "Am I ok spending this on the asssumption I hope to never use this thing?".
  22. alxndrhll
    I'd argue it's the kind of thing that looks dumb as fuck and the only thing remotely passable, but entirely in theme with how meme-y it is, is the fact it's in MCB.
  23. alxndrhll
    You're certainly not alone there, usually between waiting on things to arrive to finish a 'project' and a larger gap than normal in playing. Especially if that hiatus was, be it conciously or subconsciously, brought on by the last game you went to being a bit wank. Fortunately know myself well enough at this point to know I overall enjoy it more than I don't even if it's just a good, expensive, way of spending time with friends than I'd struggle to otherwise. Perspective and all that.
  24. alxndrhll
    At the risk of presenting an answer you don't particularly want, if lack of 'soul' has been an issue with previous NGRS offerings then I strong suspect that unless you can 'cope' your way out of it then whatever you pick will wind up for sale not long after you purchase it. In terms of choosing from whats out there, your criteria only real leaves an FDE TM 416... which leads me to land on you know what you want, you're just not convinced you actually want it.

    Hi folks, As the title could suggest, looking for a Marui MWS. Ideally with a few Marui mags, the closer to stock the better (I already have the majority of the parts to go in/on it to hand). Have cash waiting, shoot me a PM with what you have going. Cheers, Alex
