while you wait? i'd just keep saving in the meantime and not get anything, bigger budget+ukara=shinier pew, you don't have too far to go before you can look at some of the cracker budget guna
it's pretty much the same as any other forum
find a gun you like, message the seller, strike a deal in conversation, pay by paypal and they'll post out.
you do still need a defence to get a non 2-tone secondhand i'm afraid.
in terms of scams, well there's nothing perfect, but generally i'll stick with the following:
- if it sounds too good to be true it probably is, you can occasionally get cracker bargains on here but if something seems off just walk away, patience is the key.
- keep all conversation on here, don't go using email/text message as if there's an issue it'll be harder for the admin to help out and ban the scammer.
- always pay with paypal goods and services, never with friends and family. if the seller asks to pay f&f pay goods and services but add the fees on top yourself (you can google the rates), friends and family has zero comeback if they pull a fast one
what that won't necessarily protect you from however is the hidden demons, most commonly from bad tech-work but it's worth noting that this doesn't mean the seller is intentionally selling a gun with a problem, folk can sell stuff with no idea what's going on under the hood.
even brand new guns aren't immune from this, but if you've bought brand new from a retailer (especially uk based) then at least you can send it back (they'll normally "repair" which can very depending on the skills of the shop tech), however with a second hand gun it's entirely caveat emptor.
unfortunately the only sure-fire way to protect yourself from that issue is to be proficient enough at tech work yourself to be able to fix a gun that has problems like that, which is why it's generally not considered the wisest idea to jump straight into buying secondhand for your first gun.
^solid advice there, if you're gonna spend on anything spend on that.

Classifieds on afuk are generally safe but check the history of the seller.
As far as selling you a realistic imitation firearm (RIF), it depends on the seller. They can legally sell you one if you can convince them that you will use it for airsoft properly.
As Adolf Hamster said, you should really rent for you first 3 games to get a feel for the game and get UKARA registered. You may change your mind about the kind of gun you want.
Ok thanks mate. I appreciate all of your responses.

as much as we all know the excitement of wanting to get yourself setup, why not wait a bit? keep saving, wait for sites to re-open, do your games to get ukara and have a bigger budget to have some fun with?
Ok fair enough, what do you suggest getting in the meantime? Also just quickly how does the classified ads on afuk work? I want to buy a gun but do I need UKARA to get black ones or can they just send it out? Secondly how do I make sure I don't get scammed?

Yeah nothing wrong with that to get you going and from a well known supplier and in the UK.
But as @Adolf Hamstersays, unless you have a ukara defense you would have to have it two tone which is another tenner.☹
For now though I would limit my searches to the UK 🇬🇧.
Have a look through the classified ads on afuk.
You could try prefired or used airsoft but again unless you can prove a defense,sellers may be reluctant to sell to you unless its two toned.
Have you joined a club?
Regards
I haven't been able to get myself a UKARA due to lockdown. Isn't it illegal for me to get a Black/non two toned gun? Don't get me wrong I'm all for it but I have no idea how to get one without a UKARA membership lol. I have had a look and apparently that gun is trash.

as @Shamal suggests it's probably gonna be a stretch to get something new and get attatchments.
first things first- have you played to get ukara etc? because that's gonna affect your options (fewer 2-tones going through the classifieds)
next is have you any equipment already? things like eye-pro, batteries, chargers etc or are you trying to get a full starter package for that budget?
i'd suggest forgetting about attatchments initially, easy enough to pick up things like scopes/flashlights/grips etc cheap off the classifieds as and when they pop up.
Ok prepared to forget any attachment initially. I do not have any batteries. The only thing I have is 0.20 gram BBs and green gas for a pistol I had. But exclude the green gas as I can only afford AEG rifles right now.

I think you may be a bit light on your budget if you are wanting attachments as well.
Best advise would be to look in the classifieds on here.You may find a used gnu maybe with a couple of add ons.👍
Good luck 🤞

Ps..don't be sorry,we all started somewhere lol.
I'm down to have it without attachments also if it exceeds my budget. I found this second hand gun online: https://www.jauce.com/auction/h544064754#international_delivery but idk

Planning on buying my first AEG Assault Rifle. Would prefer for it to be some sort of m4 build. My price range is about £100. Are there any guns you guys suggest that might come with attachments etc... I am new to this sorry.

Been more or less cleared up but shell ejecting automatic airsoft pistols are few and far between, shoot poorly, and are relatively fragile.
They're really just collector peices.
Revolvers that take shells are a much better proposition.
If you want a decent beginners pistol, don't be tempted to buy something like a raven because it is cheap.
You may as well budget £120 ish and pick up a TM.
And it's personal preference from there on really.
Unfortunately I fell for the Raven nonsense and bought a raven. Now it is broken

Beginning what? You weren't thinking it'd be a good idea to start skirmishing with shell ejectors we're you!? 😲
No I didn't. The shell ejecting is for fun at home...

That's just a marushin rebrand again not been in production for a while
Yeah you are probably looking at the better part of £250 to £300 for a shell ejectors. Hi capa wise go TM fire support have the in stock from £117.00.
Hmm I guess shell ejectors are not the one for me then looool I'll just have to stick to my normal Gbb lmao
Anyone know any decent beginners Gbb pistol?

Do you guys know any good Hi Capa GBB pistols for about £100? I have come to the conclusion that shell ejecting guns are impossible to find lol

Bizarely given that I'm not a huge 1911 fan I've ended up with 4 of them, although a couple of those are ones I've built up from parts. The big issue with them is the mag size, they only hold half as many BBs as a Glock type and much less gas and because the mags are slim they suffer cooldown if used rapidly. TM ones are better because they are full polymer so the lighter slide helps.
I've just got a John Wick combat master as a boneyard gun which I sorted and that's quite fun . It's basically a Hi Capa so a grown up 1911. Hi capas are popular and there are loads of upgrades available.
Personally though my go to pistols when I play pistol only games are the G18 and my P226. Both are WE and both upgraded but I found them ok out of the box.
Only shell ejecting gun I've goit is a KAR98 which is a scream to plink in the garden with but I'd never take it to a game as I'd be spending half the day looking for my brass, so no experience of ejecting 1911's I'm afraid.
At the end of the day any reasonable GBB pistol will be fun to use.
Be sure to learn proper maintenance , GBBs need a bit more looking after than electric guns, but plenty of decent videos on youtube.
Yeah I do believe a WE G18 would be the best for skirmishing however, I've already had that feeling and now I want to try out other type of guns. I haven't gone skirmishing yet and I want to get a feel of it at home first so I thought shell ejecting would be cool lol.
I've had a look at Hi Capa and they look amazing. As for the 1911 shell ejecting I;ve seen a video on it on YouTube but I can't find an actual link for it on google to purchase one unfortunately. -

wasn't there a shell ejecting ppk as well? i vaguely remember that being a thing.
they've never really gained much popularity because the performance tends to be lacking and the shells are a pain to collect and too expensive to just leave lying.
Yeah for skirmishing but I plan to keep this weapon at home for play about as it is a bit more realistic to have shells flying out the gun.
-
Was looking to buy a shell ejecting GBB Pistol and I was wondering if you guys suggest any? I was preferably looking to get a 1911 but I can't find any on the market really.

You could go that way if you wanted to, If you stick to a G18 or 17 (I'd get the 17 if I got another as I never use the full auto) then your existing mags should fit so i'd sell it with one mag and keep the other. Personally I'd get the WE version, mine has never failed me, gets used hard and runs on red gas all year . They are easily upgraded later on with maple leaf parts, mine has a rubber , I key , hop wheel and crazy jet barrel (same as all my pistols) but I play my pistols regularly, they are fine out of the box TBH. Although a mate has the Army Armament all polymer one and is impressed with it. It will be more gas efficient being all poly , I just like metal on my pistols.
NEW! Army Armament R17 (17) 3rd Generation GBB Airsoft pistol - Black - Airsoft World
Cheap option too
Do you have any 1911s or any other GBB pistols that you might suggest that are quite cool and fun. I was thinking of buying a shell ejecting GBB 1911 but I can't find a good one for a decent price. Do you know any that you might suggest?

Hmm I like the look of it. So it is has metal on the pistol rather than full polymer and is a GBB for only £54 or so? Just to confirm this works on green gas with 0.20g BBs right and my extra mag from the Raven EU 18 Series works on this?

Personally I'd get the part and fix it, I agree with your Dad , the best way to learn how to tech your guns is to work on them, and I enjoy the teching aspect of the sport which is why I fix guns for mates. Other folk will disagre and say get rid, but I enjoy fixing them.
Raven pistols seem to be a mix, I know some that have had issues with them and I know some who have never had a problem, but if it breaks and you fix it you are learning new skills which is never a bad thing.
My WE 18C is several years old and has been used hard and the hammer unit is still going strong, so it is likly that the replacement part will last a long time.
I'd wait untill youve played enough to get your UKARA before getting an AEG, go play and rent a gun a few times. That'll give you chance to ltalk to people about their guns and maybe try a couple of platforms before you buy your own (you might prefer an AK or G36 over an M4)
Nick
M4 all the way. How about if I sold the gun £4-£50 then used that money to buy a new one?

Its a Raven, they’re throw-away pistols. If you can’t fix it for less than a tenner, buy another, but buy a WE next time, and don’t change the fire mode unless the slide is locked back.Sell it as it is for £30, add the price of a new Raven G18 to that amount, you can buy a WE G18.
I literally don't know what to do as my Dad is saying this is a learning curb and as long as this lasts you till Summer it is fine as if you buy this Hammer Assembly for £30 it is still cheaper than £100. If it breaks in a year then buy another and £60 is still cheaper than £100 then you lasted yourself 3 years extra and when you start going to Airsoft sites you can then get a good gun since I've never actually played Airsoft and this was my first ever gun lol
What is your guy's opinion on what I should do? Do you think I should try to sell this gun and 2 magazines for about £40 then try to buy a good AEG AR or a GBB Pistol?
-
Wait @Nick Gand @Adolf HamsterWhy don't I just buy a new GBB pistol for like £80 - £90 rather than buying a Hammer Assembly for £30?

I had a look at a raven 17 for someone earlier in the year, similar issue by the sound of it. I ended up just replacing the complete hammer assembly with a WE one. Interestingly although it was an EU17 it required an 18 hammer assembly. Might be your best option at this point. Quick and easy to install.

Yeah it looks like it's gotten wobbly on its axis pin and ended up jammed at a weird angle, given the op claimed to have forced it with a screwdriver in the last thread she might be in bad shape.
New trigger pack is probably the only option at this point.
@Adolf Hamster@nick Ok thank you all. I read the reviews in the link you guys sent and it seems to be a perfect match for Raven EU18 series so it should be fine. I'll message back in this thread when it arrives as I will order it tonight.

I'm trying to remember if the pin at the back of the grip needs removing, and I cant for the life of me remember ! Can take a bit of a jiggle to seperate the trigger bar from the assembly. Does it move at all with the screw out ? Try removing the pin, just in case.
Nick
It slightly jiggles in its position, There isn't enough movement for me to happily say the hammer assembly is just stiff. It is as if there is another pin inside it holding it down. I have tried to push the pin on the side however, it doesn't move at all and I am scared of breaking it. I was wondering if the hammer wheel needs to be up first before removing the pin as that's the order of which the guy done it in the video done it. Just to confirm you suggest purchasing the Hammer Assembly you linked and just replacing it with the one in the gun right? If so I'll order the assembly once you confirm that.
Thanks a lot by the way mate. -

Does the hammer wheel need to be up and that little circle thingy need to out for me to remove the hammer assembly out of the gun because right now it is as if something is holding the hammer assembly down when I try to remove it its position out of the gun.
-
I've been looking at youtube videos etc and I've realised that when they press the trigger the hammer wheel comes up. Is it meant to come up when I press the trigger because if not my hammer wheel stays down and doesn't actually come up...

that's some memory.....
after looking at the old thread, does the hammer now hold in the cocked position at all?
the forcing it up with a screwdriver thing makes me think option number 1 of a broken sear is a possibility.
the screw that was removed looks like it's the main retention for the whole trigger pack, did you remove the trigger pack at all? because if so then candidate number 2 (which may have been your original problem) would be a mis-aligned/jammed/unsprung transfer bar.
The first one is just a picture of it when the trigger is in its normal place, the second is side view the thing that lifts when the trigger is down ans the third is birds eye view of the trigger being pressed. I'm actually quite inexperienced in this so I am far worse than lost. Sorry if I am being difficult
Do you guys think the guarder steel hammer sear needs to be replaced? I've found this link here: https://www.evike.com/products/45025/

Hi,
I was trying to buy myself a good airsoft GBB green gas pistol. My budget is about £100. Do you guys have any recommendations?
