Yeah I’m not desperate to offload to be honest but would like to reinvest it more toys. 

Several factors honestly. Most people arent going to want to pay 130quid over retail even if it has an added scope. This is even more true if its a GBB. Then the market for GBBs is generally smaller than that of AEGs, so your crowd of potential buyers is smaller. Next, GBBs as DMRs tend to be less accurate than their AEG counterparts, so people looking to field it are going to be turned off by that. This is compounded by only having one mag - people are going to need to buy more if they want to field it (and the mags arent cheap - an extra 50 quid a pop adds up fast). Any gun once used generally drops in value by a third, so at best you should expect to get about 675 by following only that rule ((860+165)*2/3)(though that can vary wildly based on availability, desire, etc.). A collector is just going to buy new, as they will want a perfect condition version, and brand new that gun plus the scope would only cost about 1020 quid. Id set it at 800 open to offers, and see what comes along, expecting to get between 650 and 800 for it. Theres no major issue leaving your starting price that high, but most people are going to ignore it with that high of a price tag, even if its just a fill-in.

Great advice, I knew I was being a quite optimistic at that price. Will drop it and see what happens. Being honest I’m more hoping for a swap but we will see what happens. 

Funnily enough I’m in a bit of an eastern block themed mood at the moment my self , but to avoid going Russian I use Ukrainian patches on my kit .?

Yeah might get rid of the AR’s get a Gorka and just do Eastern European stuff. 

Just not practical for a skirmish in the woods. Probably more suited to open ground and something a bit slower pace. 

@GenuineGerman I was at NPF yesterday as well! I was on Blue team though. To be fair the onus is totally on the marshalls to rebalance things. In the morning session we (instigated by myself and a regular) moved the blues back away from your spawn to centre field, from what we observed, only a handful of your guys actually tried to push back out.

Was a good day though, if I'd have known there were forum members about I'd have come and said Hi!

I will be going again in the next couple of weeks so can say hi then ?. The problem was that once people got trapped in the spawn they got demoralised and couldn’t be arsed. I think the marshalls should have reset and started again. Then I think it would have been ok. 

I ran a Nuprol 11.1 1450mAh 30C battery in it for approx 2.5years without issues, then stripped the gears and cracked the gearbox.  Negative Airsoft redid the insides and now I run a 7.4 lipo in it for CQB mainly.  He says I can run a 11.1 lipo but to make sure it's around 15C nor more than that. 

Thanks for the info @Monkman

Thanks chaps, I pretend I don’t care what people think but secretly I do care. 

I very rarely have a problem.... most of the time it’s just cheaters! ?

However my solution is simple, if people overstep the mark, go to the Marshal, cover yourself.... then open hunting season.... hopefully no one on your side is a problem, otherwise blue on blue! ?

Toxic site, toxic players, do exist.... thankfully more good, than bad!!!! ?

Good reason for some pics as well! ??

mate you bought it to use bugger what anyone thinks airsoft is what you make it not what anyone else does

Hi @GenuineGerman! ?

A rare sight, make sure to put some pics up! ???

?GAMBLE?

Will do mate ?

Hi @GenuineGerman! ?

Just out curiosity, any news on your VZ 61? ?

Hi man done a deal on it. Sorry man 

It happens, thanks for letting me know. ??

Definitely function over fashion. I want something to carry spare gas, bb’s, mags, hydration and maybe some clackey. Don’t want to have to go back to safe area to rebomb and recharge mags 

Either of the aforementioned would be fine for that, though it's worth putting some thought into how you're countering how back heavy that rig is going to become. Having the rear continuously wanting to pull the front bag gets extremely irritating/uncomfortable very quickly. The easiest quick fix would running a foam dummy plate in the rear plate bag (because the weight is coming from all the gubbins on your back), and a weighted training plate in the front as a counter weight.

Stuff I'm sure you'll figure out on your own as you tweak things, but felt worth mentioning ahead of time. I very much run more minimal, but that's come from years of playing and knowing what I do and don't use on average.

That being:

• 5 150ish rnd midcaps (1 in RIF, 4 on front of PC/chest rig)
• 3 pistol mags (2 on belt, 1 in RIF), truthfully with the amount I use my pistol outside of CQB I could drop this to just the mag in the RIF and notice no real difference
• AR style speedloader (450-ish rounds, in either utility or dangler pouch)
• Ammo sock/pouch thing with extra BBs in it (utility pouch)
• Spare battery (in utility pouch)
• Bottle of water (usually in dangler pouch)

Even listing it out like that I feel like I'm carrying too much for what I need ?. But I'm also not against having to go back to a safezone to top up things if I absolutely need to, though that set up is usually more than enough to get me to lunch time. YMMV, I always land on I'd rather carry less and go back to a safe zone if I need to versus carrying a bunch of extra crap I might never need.

Good point about the weight. I’m not looking for something that is massive and I don’t plan on carrying too much however your experience has made me rethink if I do actually need one. Made for now I will leave it unless a cheap one comes along. Cheers mate 

Hi @GenuineGerman! ?

Got a new BDU unlocked, German and will be in my next video! ??

Cant wait to try it out in a game, in the right season! ???

?GAMBLE?

Looking forward to seeing it
