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

they did..... still do... and i have one at least the mag is in a sensible place... not like the stupid ramrod thing on the springer version

i think that sums up most airsofters *looks nervously at my armoury*

reactivating this old thread.. i was also disappointed by the initial reports of the No.4 coming with a plastic stock, and so i decided against buying one, going for the S&T SMLE instead as it had a wooden stock. i recently came across one in stock at Onlyairsoft in Stevenage and found that it now comes with a wooden stock and with the gas tank in the stock, so i purchased it. it seems G&G heard the negative feedback to the plastic stock and acted accordingly.

well, haven't been keeping up here the past few months, so now time for a shotgun blast.. In November i purchased a Fobus holster for my Cybergun FN Five-seveN along with matching adapters so i can have it as a drop leg fitting or mount it to the MOLLE of my plate carrier, as i intend to start running it more regularly as my john wick hi-cappa is getting a bit war-weary. i also bought a new sling and red dot sight, nothing special. no purchases in December January was just restocking consumables and bought some fill valve pins to replace leaking ones on my APS CAM shotgun shells and finally February has seen me buy a G&G gas Lee Enfield No.4 from OnlyAirsoft, which i have only briefly fielded at the Gaol last weekend to get a feel for it around the outside of the buildings lastly, a Krytac Kriss Vector arrived the other day from land warrior airsoft that i had pre-ordered back in November. annoyingly though, Krytac haven't sent out the spare mags for them yet, so i am waiting for them to arrive before i can use it in anger... though i was shocked at how light the mag that came with the gun is considering its a 60 round gas mag.

sweet, if thats all it takes to fix this annoying issue, then i will be looking to do the same with my one. now i just need to source the part

In a word... lowlife. Any more words than that and we will all risk being banned from the Internet forever... But there are more of them out there... Saw posted in the discord server for AI500 that this.... specimen.... is using Ollies cancer diagnosis as something to openly mock and belittle in his videos. https://youtube.com/@Necr0tronOffical?si=H_mXCW8SXqT6NppS Like the scam gofund me that was linked earlier in this thread, can we get this scum reported and taken down? (I have already done so) I agree with that sentiment... and doubly so for the link I posted above

Used to run Valkyrie BBs, but it seems the company has decided to cease trading, so im now in the market for a new brand of BB as my Valkyrie stocks are running out. I ran .32 in my tippmann, .28s in most of my other guns with .25s for CQB

going to echo @Galvatron suggestion of Only airsoft on Stevenage. i get most of my gear from them, and the staff are always welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable and the store should easily be within a 2 hour drive from most parts of london

thats.. a lot of mags i have most of my mags in an old ammo crate. i bought the crate from an army surplus stall at my (at the time) local market before lockdowns, stripped off all the old flaking brown paint and resprayed it with some grey primer and army green rattle cans from halfords (which has picked up quite a few scars from other ammo boxes being stacked on top of it) , then my father and i made and painted a pair of wooden divider trays. i swap the mags depending on which backup guns i take to a game day and load the entire crate in the boot of my car.

i have supports for my knee and back, but try to avoid using them unless absolutely necessary (mainly when lifting heavy shit at work) never thought of deep heat, so will get some to try out. definately agree on the weight front, and while im not a whale, i could do with losing a bit of weight. and i also have zero will power... its why i splashed out on a VFC M249, and am looking at another expensive pew on preorder... doesnt help that christmas is fast approaching.... and so no doubt my belt will have to bee loosened by a notch before i try (and probably fail) to lose weight as a new years resolution

i think we have that in common. back constantly aches just standing/walking most days. i can get through game days, but sometimes my back does complain, especially if i run my tippmann due to the HPA tank. one reason why im slowly phasing out the tippmann. i also recently injured my knee at work, but that seems to be healing (famous last words) also cracked a few ribs several years ago in an accident at work, and they ache constantly, but get worse in the cold. additionaly, i also had a bout of pleurisy after cracking my ribs, so i am always cautious to wrap up warm in cold weather as i never want to go through that again (and my doctor tells me i may be susceptible to relapses for life) yeah.. definately doing something wrong there... XD

I probably won't, partly due to the extra weight, but also the cost..

i was debating fitting a real bullet belt, but im worried that its extra weight may cause further issues with the box mag gas connector popping out, or break the "wiggler" do you have pics of this mod? i may need to do the same to mine, but i am also reluctant to do anything too invasive where abouts are you playing?
