We’ve got another one! £380 +p&p for an unknown brand MK.18. And doesn’t know much about accessories; mistaken a flip to side magnifier for an Acog - someone’s been playing too much call of duty.

I forgot to grab my LMG mag when I left the safe zone for one game so had to go back for it but other than that remembered everything.

My first re-usable pyro.

I would say £110 -£120 ish thats what I was able to sell mine for last year with same mags + upgraded recoil spring and holster

Batteries are all charged and boots are on my feet ready to roll and yeah a bag is a good idea, bit difficult to carry all that stuff by hand.

Tomorrow is first game since January and paranoid I’m forgetting something

You could always make the Kar equivalent of this Mosin. ( hides under the table until the inevitable sh*tstorm passes)

**** purchase has been decided… I’ve bought an Elcan. Will post picture of it on rifle when it arrives. Thank you everyone for your helpful polling and comments ****

I’m a bit late to the party but here goes. In my experience, if you’re look at around the £100 your best bet is either the AAP-01, a used TM or a MK.23 AAP-01 are great fun but are lacking realism as they aren’t based on real firearms ( more a cross between a Glock and a ruger mk4) TM pistols - don’t let plastic put you off, great pistols, perform well and lots of possible upgrades. Previously said, ASG MK.23 are not the best out of the box but a few simple upgrades can really change that and still have enough change from £100 for a pint or two. Or be a bit different, Umarex H8r CO2 revolver are fun never had any luck with WE, found them quite unreliable but that could have just been bad luck. pistols owned in the past: 3x WE glock 17 / 18. WE M&P 3x ASG MK.23 TM 1911 TM HK.45 TM Sig P226 TM M&P V-custom TM Glock 17 AAP-01 Umarex H8R

DMR stock: £10-£20 + postage more than airsoft retailers. PDW stock: I bought an identical one for £30-£40 recently.

YouTube - straight talking, no BS, and very entertaining and one of the few that agrees that TM recoils aren’t the dogs bollocks like people claim them to be ( I used to own one and sold it very quickly). personal experience - had him fix one of my guns last year; nice guy, knowledgeable and keeps you updated on progress, sending videos showing it working and on the chrono and charges a fair price. Just waiting to have the money to send him my next one.

I have a tall glass fronted bookcase that I intend to use for my rifles and I’m just going to hang a texas flag over the front to conceal them if I have anyone stay in that room. my advice is tell your landlord and any immediate neighbours. also don’t go trying to hide them behind false backed wardrobes or anything, keep them tidy and concealed if you wish but not hidden, if someone comes in and sees them hidden away without knowing you’re an airsofter, you may get an unpleasant visit from an armed response unit. People will be far more likely to think something is illegal if it’s hidden away rather than more out in the open. Also have some photos out of you at Airsoft events carrying the rifles with friends etc, makes people feel more comfortable about it all.

£500 for an M4, No other information but looks like a COD gun. Does come with mags and a replica acog though. If this is anything to go by, the G&P M4 I am looking at selling should be worth atleast £2,000!

Someone is living in dream land. comes with 5 mags and optics but from the advert sounds like it’s stock internals.

£350 + £20 p&p!!!!! this guy is either delusional or put the decimal place in the wrong place. and even has the name of the rifle wrong.

You must have more luck than me then; I had 7 KA ones and only found out mid fire fight that they don’t feed in my rifle so sold them.

I’m not a big fan of the rattling or winding but it’s over double the price to get mid caps. with regards to the King arms ones - thanks for the suggestion but they aren’t compatible with the TM G3 - only ones I’ve seen to be compatible are TM, JG and CA.

TM G3. looking at buying 5 magazines. do I go for high caps or mid caps? mid caps (TM) @ £22 = 110 high caps (JG) @ £9 = £45 what should I do?

Thank you very much, your response was very helpful when I get around to working on it.

Hi everyone, I’m looking at converting my G&P M4 to a MK.12 SPR inspired DMR. This meaning I am going for an overall similar look but not going to be a stickler for the appearance to be perfect. I have all the parts I need for the externals but despite having been an airsofter for about 14 years I am very inexperienced with internals. On the assumption that the internals are all stock G&P, what upgrades would you advise to convert to a DMR? is it as simple as upgrading the spring and barrel? how should I lock it to semi? For ease should I do the grub screw locking method / hideous glob of superglue? FPS wise I am aiming to be at the 400 mark any advice would be appreciated cheers Matt

Are you able to get TM G3 mid cap magazines?

Hi guys, so I’ve been playing on and off for the last 14 years now and head protection has varied between baseball caps, boonie hats and just good old fashioned hair but now wanting something to protect my noggin ( both from bbs and solid floors as I tend to play more urban sites these days) my question is; are helmets worth it? are all helmets made equal or do you get what you’re paying for? Other than basic styles are there any other features I should be aware of? ( id probably be looking at more of a FAST style) is sizing adjustable? I have a bit of a big head ( not as big an old friend of mine who had to have the safety harness thing dismantled when getting off Air at Alton Towers; but still bigger than average) do they make your head sweat? and will it interfere with my face protection? Currently run a basic mesh eye pro ( looking at moving to goggles if anyone has any recommendations) and a mesh lower ( because I like having teeth, dislike dentists and hate spending money on anything that isn’t gigs or Airsoft) cheers Matt

I think I’ve made up my mind. TM MK.23 , TM FNX.45 and an AAP-01. thank you very much for all your input.

I’m looking at getting 2 pistols to run as a standard set-up regardless of whether I’m using a rifle, smg, sniper, DMR or pistols only. I tend to play woodland or urban ( former military bases / prisons) but occasional CQB so I want a set up suitable for all. My thoughts: pistol 1 - long range super sneaky ( I think we all know which platform I’m talking about) and pistol 2 - which allows for quick follow up shots for those times you’re finding yourself out numbered. Pistol 1 - we all know I’m talking about a MK.23. The only real question is which one; TM, Novritsch or clone ( ASG / STTI)? Which will give better performance? ( range, accuracy, gas efficiency) or will there be any difference when upgrades are done?( TDC, Crazy jet barrel, Hop rubber and whatever else I’ve forgotten to say). Pistol 2 - this is the one where I’m not too sure on the platform so other suggestions welcome. The current contenders: TM FNX.45 TM HK.45 tactical TM Hi-Capa ( but lots of upgrades to look like a Kimber TLE) Novritsch SSP1 AAP-01 ( with black mamba slide and potentially folding stock and when I have an HPA set up.. MP5 magazine adaptor) Taran Tactical John Wick double stack 1911 whose name I cant remember (because who doesn’t want to be Mr Wick) Other suggestions welcome ( just please no glocks, I already have a TM Glock 17 which I’m looking at selling. ( no issues with it, I just fancy a change. Any one interested? Has upgraded recoil spring, maple leaf hop unit, crazy jet barrel; comes with 2 standard and 1 extended magazine) many thanks Matt
