My condolences for your loss. Try to focus on all the good times you had together

Might be worth seeing if Airsoft World can price match Airsoft Direct...

I appreciate the link. I did see that in my searches, but the 12 month turn around is off-putting to me... besides, I am trying to put something together for a stargate cosplay at basingstoke comic con next month... seeing as most of the SG1 and Atlantis cast will be there I was shocked to find the pistol so cheap compared to every other UK seller... but unless it's clearly stated, I always assume the price advertised is the full price and not deposit.. I hope you manage to get one, and enjoy it =)

So.. I splashed a little more cash over the past few weeks. Firstly from Octagon airsoft, I bought a stock and some wooden handgrip for my Beretta M93r. Stock fits perfectly, though the right hand grip will need some work with a dremel to get it to fit and not interfere with the mechanism for the burst function of the pistol. Next I bought a low profile pistol red dot sight from my local air rifle range to fit less intrusive on the optic mount for the M93r (see pic attached for stock, optic mount, red dot and left side wooden hand grip fitted) Finally I bought two Tokyo marui limited edition Chisato handguns and some mags from airsoft direct (by far the cheapest I have seen them on sale in the UK) one will be purely for display to keep it pristine, while the other will get some limited use, mainly in CQB as backup to my Krytac Vector (when the back-ordered mags Finally arrive and if I can find a holster for it that won't damage the finish), to prolong its life Also looking at a tactical vest on ebay to complete a Stargate SG1 loadout. Trying to find an accurate, black blackhawk omega is impossible, so this vest would be more of a Stargate-inspired vest than a stitch-counter accurate version. Pics will be shared if I do decide to pull the trigger on the vest.. Oh, and also the usual boring consumables restock.. gas, BBs, CO2 bulbs.. and a can of Nuprol 1.0 for the new TM pistol..

Nice to see another mateba owner here in the UK. I have two matebas of my own, but I have yet to field them yet (one is the 8mm ghost in the shell collector version, so will never leave the house, the other is 6mm calibre 5 inch barrel version, but I dont have a holster for it yet)

Challenge completed... Bought an optic mount, ASG red dot (which is actually bigger than I thought it would be) and a double pistol case for My M93r from airsofteire Also ordered a stock and a set of wooden grips for it from Octagon airsoft... pics will be shared when they arrive from Hong Kong

Just ordered a stock from octagon as well, along with a set of wooden grips Challenge accepted Depends which voice you are listening to at the time Haven't played battlefield 4, but I do remember it being in one of the old call of duty modern warfare games I just bought it because I like weird and unusual guns..

Makes two of us.... Went to a game day at RIFT Redcon 2 last weekend and went browsing the onsite shop (white sphere tactical) looking for red dot sights and risers. I thought to myself "you don't need any more guns"..... that went out the window when I spotted this KWA Beretta m93r GBB, and my love of unusual and uncommon guns over ruled my better judgement... My wallet now hates me... Now I'm on the search for more mags and a folding stock for it once paycheck lands

finally pushed myself to go to an outdoors game despite the relatively poor weather last weekend. but at least the weather seems to be improving, if only incrementally. the going was a bit tougher than usual due to the recent heavy rainfall turning many paths to mud i have played a few games in less than ideal weather, but my most memorable one was the first AI500 game at the Citatel in Dover. the saturday afternoon saw a severe rainstorm (almost a monsoon) blow in with high winds, everyone turned into drowned rats almost instantly, the high winds making it impossible to shoot between buildings as the wind simply blew everyones BBs for miles. game was eventually called early after the winds began blowing roof tiles off one of the cell block buildings. lots of people called it early and went home due to the poor weather, especially as the high winds caused havoc with the camp site, ripping many tents to shreds and soaking everyones kit, one poor group even had their tent blow away and land in the channel. fortunately i avoided that fate as i had got to site early enough that myself and a few others were able to set up tents in the lee of several buildings at a lower level, though the heavy rainfall was turning the grass area to mud. the site owners opened up some buildings near the campsite so everyone who wanted to stay could move inside and a group of us all set up our tents as an indoor camp and everyone hung their gear up to dry as best they were going to, given there was no heating in the building, and we all sat around in groups singing, cracking jokes, drinking whiskey, playing cards against humanity etc until well into the night sunday was a little uncomfortable due to having to wear still-wet kit, but those of us that stayed managed to soldier through until end-ex and i could switch into some dry civvy kit to drive home in.

We use that one in England too... though not as freely as across the northern border But if I may interrupt the misfortune wishing for a moment... Just seen this on only airsofts FB page. I intend to attend, and hoping to share it around in hopes others will become aware and also join.. https://facebook.com/events/s/ollie-talks-airsoft-charity-ga/1570178923833657/

Even worse.. he has uploaded another video... Reported again, but I wont hold my breath if youtube hasn't given him the banhammer for his previous spiteful videos

Damn.. and just after I bought my G&G gas No.4... Still, if the quality is as good as the SMLE, it should do well... plus if the mags are the same, even better

I had similar issues when my VFC M249 was imported. Castle Donnington seems to be the UPS equivalent of Royal Mails Langley mail centre at Heathrow, where they process parcels for customs duty etc I had contradictory tracking information like you for almost a week, then a customs duty invoice to pay before they would release the parcels, and then about another week of more contradictory tracking information before I got a failed delivery notification despite not getting an "out for delivery" notification that day, and the UPS redirect option wouldn't not let me divert the parcel to my workplace just a few miles down the road from my house for the next day attempt, so I ended up driving down to my local depot to collect the parcels. Just pray the useless customs monkeys at Donnington treat your pistol parts better than they did my m249... which arrived with multiple scratches over it, a broken front sight and a broken end plate for the mag box gas tank that had been wrenched off with a screwdriver instead of using the two release tabs that even stevie wonder could have seen No, I'm not angry.. what makes you say that? Suffice to say I will avoid anywhere that uses UPS for international shipping for the foreseeable future as they are utterly useless

tried searching the forum and could only see a thread about AEG MP5s... as the title suggests i am looking for advice about which GBB MP5 would be best as i am looking to sell a few project guns i never got to work on and dive further down the GBB rabbit hole and add an MP5 to my armoury. i am aware of the range of WE Apache replicas, but recently came across mentions of SRC, VFC and Umarex GBB MP5s and people saying that the Apaches have some issues so, im looking for advice, preferably from people who have experience with multiple brands to get accurate comparisons, to help identify which MP5 GBB i should invest in based mainly on the following list (not exhaustive) -price and availability in UK -durability (especially the ability to HK slap them) -availability of compatible accessories -availability of replacement parts (OEM or aftermarket) -gas efficiency/co2 compatible and before anyone asks what model i am looking for (a5, SD6 etc), i'm looking primarily for a full size MP5, but the exact model of full size one isnt too important as i am more concerned with getting one that will be reliable and durable. i would also love to own an MP5k alongside the full size one, so mag commonality will be a bonus selling point thank you in advance for any advice and *ahem* YIPPEE KI YAY MOTHERFUCKERS
