My browser says the website isn’t secure seems a bit dodge they don’t use encryption.

I’ve always understood that if you interfere with a deact you could be in trouble as you invalidate the deact certificate and could be view as recommissioning it. However I’m not an expert so personally wouldn’t attempt it or purchase one that has been converted. a couple of a years I heard of a bloke trying to sell a fj42 Deact which he converted to fire blanks. Probably just a myth but something I wouldn’t touch

No one likes bullies and that behaviour is wrong. Great thing here is we all offering advice and help. There is such a wealth of knowledge and experience here I’m sure you won’t have the same experience here

UPS are a clusterfck at the moment

Going prone is for peoples who's knees still work. Losers 😃

If you thread it through properly it should be robust enough to hold the pouches in place https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SPECIAL-OFFER-MTP-Webbing-Belt-Kit-Set-7-Osprey-Pouches-Molle-Belt-Battle-Yoke/133670697083?hash=item1f1f64f87b:g:DegAAOSws19f9umZ Alternatively you could look at the Virtus Webbing https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-British-Army-MTP-Virtus-Chassis-Molle-Hip-belt-Yoke-9-pouches-Medium/164255748417?hash=item263e67d141:g:OWgAAOSw3LJe7zKU Or the classic PLCE although these secure via a plastic tab that slide through the belt. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/British-army-issue-dpm-PLCE-webbing-fighting-order/124368326899?_trkparms=ispr%3D1&hash=item1cf4ee10f3:g:BvYAAOSwJmJe-7dh&amdata=enc%3AAQAFAAACcBaobrjLl8XobRIiIML1V4Imu%2Fn%2BzU5L90Z278x5ickkp2NA0WuhQytmt4dbStg00ESKwKs2iLZsfPJCCETKcz0XVl%2BZQLCodLNUie5dE7XIBwLnUOASc56tiNq1TlMxzUKWUkrdeFJWQbb5gyTU9FCFioichSuXjqF%2B1MuR7oFoKXBt5eJQceoH%2FegayZ5A%2B9IlNbHENGom1npbwlbamyNlfYfoNLNdqA0zrY06rofLJRxvKnYcx9DJuONmkAMuGdXyddCH7P9q0qXwn8Dme7ARHWETrRkWrvqkL51b9BRxRSf40prQ3Y5pdiRxHfXFOJytMrKoPEtQM0qJkhf2kXcnwlCxjaZK8DXaNJJsS005%2FWXsCDo3TieaXR2XECTKGIeXeguDp%2Fjs7OxD6m69z4wH9DlhAlnpeet31kfgovGB2e5GGKSW6H9A4y3yeNX1iiN52PzgfE3OsNcfj80VgaqmpsFW60zfRExeWMZATEHaUQIaAjvuIKE2P55I5GwUo67pRziFl52Sy3d4bChde21mz4LEy1MzSii%2F%2Fkle%2BojWIaZhweHYETD8bshMh16Yv2vrbAW5Zv1uj80bZmM%2FvieH7%2FGVmLxvmCOfDIxPS7i4v0%2FnQz1ys0Cc7WXdqmwduqDGIQeV%2FL1AJpegRG%2FOMMYhHPRkt9K48ag%2Bm9dKxFEmS5uFt0QRxCOxHWjP0XAVizykLUHSTKNCFszpNMLlSkwk1h%2B3f%2BzGEhBP%2F977BrGeup5IvGq6FS7KoTn%2BMUo3%2BCtBq%2B738%2FdxjqB0DPMFgUs5ZDahk%2Bz0jdfM8fMijJnu7HCORLpS1TttMIRBoGTYKQ%3D%3D|cksum%3A1243683268997b98a3003e9a4267b15784746cbc70b7|ampid%3APL_CLK|clp%3A2334524

I personally prefer PC's. You can pick up Ospreys fairly cheaply off ebay etc and they are milspec so will last. The Warrior Assault Systems are very nice and I would say i really cost affective alternative to the top like a Crye AVS. For me its about value for money and for £40-50 i would personally get a Osprey with a few pouches that you know will last for your first one. if you dont like it someone will always buy it. Im looking to buy the Warrior Laser Cut Low profile V2 soon as this look like a great alternative to the JPC 2.0.

Echt 🙂 It’s a great forum.

Hallo und Guten Abend, Willkommen, Nice to have a fellow German here. Great bunch on here with lots of knowledge on here so check the forums and ask any questions GG

With the buds fitted they aren’t too bad actually. I’m quite lucky that I still have the moulds they made years ago but I don’t want to lose them so will just use normal buds. Just need to get the ptt sorted now

This is it, I’ve had a polite chat with my neighbours to let them know that I play airsoft and if they see me with military kit and what looks like real firearms they aren’t and they have been very understanding

A lot of politics now play into popularism and playing one faction off against another. It the old of your not with me your against syndrome, the reality is we all probably have more in common than we don’t but everything seems so polarised at the moment people can’t see what’s directly in front of them. Back in the good old day’s there used to be moderate voices that would speak sense and balance but this doesn’t seem to exist anymore. As for NIMBYS, completely agree. Always complaining that young people cause problems but when they want to develop something that will create jobs but might affect the value of the homes they are up in arms. As for licensing proper I would have to politely disagree with this. If some muppet is going to run around there local high street with a RIF and get shoot by the cops then give them a Darwin Award. I know I’m sensible and I think the majority of people are, we aren’t talking about live firearms. for me it’s just another way of making us more compliant by having to License what is effectively an expensive toy for what gain, to prove I play a sport. It’s starts with airsoft where does it stop when we live under a talebanesque regime where you can’t fly a kite.

I get what your saying and I don’t disagree. I think like you have said it’s about the control the government want. I’m Germany we have the CDU/CSU which are the conservatives effectively and the SPD which are labour although most of this is true for the past. I think most parties now sell you the same policies but in a different guise

I’m sure China is run by the Communist Party

Just had these pop in the post today

I like to think I’m not some survivalist gun nut but I do see like you have said society turning against individuality. I can see what you mean how someone people would read that and assume that I’m so kind of lunatic however I do believe in the rule of law and policing by consent. Without going into it too deeply I do feel however society in general is being dumbed down by reality tv, social media etc. If you have an opinion that doesn’t fit you can be destroyed in the court of public opinion before the truth comes out and by then it’s too late. I think the film metropolis is a great movie well ahead of its time and to me shows what could happen potentially but if I say things like that and I get called a gun nut lunatic then it plays into the narrative today that unless you conform you must be dangerous. Rather than engaging in conversation to find out why people are worried and concerned we just shut them down these days and put a label on them. Im not suggesting that we allow hate speech, racism, homophobia etc as we all know this is abhorrent but a different opinion is just that different. Sometimes we are wrong sometimes we are right above all we are all humans and have a right to be ourselves. With exceptions the majority of people just want to get on with their lives do what they enjoy and not hurt anyone. However I don’t want to be another working bee enabling someone else to ban things I enjoy that don’t hurt people for a perceived threat that probably won’t happen. People sadly as always remember the bad things that happen but I would argue there are far more good things that happen everyday than bad, that is the real fault of humankind.

I think this a really good point and would help put the sport in a very positive light.

Completely agree, until we are all unquestioning drones they will ban everything that shows individuality

We use UPS at work and I had a call with out account manager yesterday. Apparently a lot of the delays have been due to resourcing mainly at East Midlands. I was told they have over 150 people off with Covid and self isolating just in the Midlands area from my understanding. We are currently experiencing 2 weeks shipping delays into Europe and the same coming back in the UK

I would say if the seller has been shy around the truth with painting what else has he not told the buyer? Firstly is a used KWA Vector GBBR worth that money, for me yes - its discontinued so you won't find one in new condition unless you pay big bucks i reckon. So you are paying £800 quid for a used item the seller has listed some issues but missed of something that could potentially make a difference to the price. What else has the seller not told the buyer? I reckon the majority of people buy of here on good faith and 99% of the time it works out as we are all honest however if you were the person who had bought this in goof faith only to discover it had been repainted poorly who you not question to overall honesty of the seller. I must however say as @AlphaBearsays do you due diligence if its too good to be true it probably is.

That attitude might work when you buy a pos car from a dodgy car salesperson but for what this is I would feel like I was lied to as a buyer. It’s fairly easy to tell if a gun has been repainted especially if it’s done poorly and should be mentioned regardless as mentioned by other the buyer should return and there money back

I hope you do sell it, i'd love to have but would need to save up for the next 6 months haha

At the end of the day something is only worth what someone wants to pay for it. If someone out there wants to drop 800 notes on it more power to them. And if they think it’s too expensive well then that’s ok as well.
