Good to hear, waiting on some parts from them myself 🙂

Mmmm, could be wrong (usually am☺️) but if it's coming back that the buyer has a valid number according to the UKARA database, then I would be happy enough with that, even though the site's insurance has lapsed it must have been valid at the time of issuing his number. I'm sure someone with more knowledge will be along soon.

Not had it that long, plus it's a wall hanger with the occasional back garden plinking. Looking at it, if you where using it regular I don't think it would hold up to long. If you want to preserve it the nail varnish option would be the way to go.

This is the umbrella logo on my TM,

Another vote for TM, if you really must have all metal then WE. Since your wanting it for display then the TM will do the job perfectly

Hi emilianoksa, I have only used it in the garden so can't say how it might perform in a skirmish. It has a nice feel to it, nice bit of weight as well but not too heavy,so far no problems either. Kickback is similar to other pistols, sorry I couldn't be a bit more in-depth for you. Druid 799 😁, I want more (need) but have to be careful as the wife might just beat me about the head with one. But working on it 👍

very nice. I have a thing for M9's

Hi,yes plenty of AR15,M4 about, I believe I need a AR10, (308) for the 417, could be wrong! The only ones I can see are the real steel, which look!!!! as if it would fit.

Hello, looking for a nice ambi charging handle for my vfc 417. Anybody know what would fit, have been looking at ar10 /308 real steel. Can't find anything Airsoft. Any suggestions appreciated.

Hi Groot, have been looking at one for the gbb the ergo tac deluxe, going by the sales gaff sounds spot on.got a few in mind, well 3. Big dragon ergo!,element ergo! or magpul for the AEG🤔

Thanks for the suggestions Lozart, I'll have a look 👍

Hi all, looking to replace the pistol grip on my M4 AEG and my 417gbbr. I find the standard one's to narrow (big hand's), so looking for some grips with bit of girth 😁. Any advice appreciated folk

Okay, So I tormented myself for weeks, thought about it, looked at endless internet/ Y tube, and as always there is only one way to find out. So got myself a 417, it's my first GBB up till now it was aeg's. I am fully aware that GBB in jolly old Britain is a bit hit or miss😀, especially here in Scotland. Now who has experience with VFC 417's, from what I could find out the hop and barrel will probably need replaced. Would I be right with thinking red gas, will only really be using the gun for those "nice days", what mag's work best etc, etc, etc all thoughts and advice much appreciated from a GBB novice😇

Hi Linton, welcome to the site and airsoft, I'm no expert on anything, not even life and I'm an old git👨‍🦯 . First take a deep breath, count to ten and relax, if you're anything like me I'm a kid in a sweety shop when it come to airsoft, want it, want it, want it. As for getting a gun and modifying it " does it NEED to be modded" if you take your time and get a good gun it will probably go a couple of years at least without needing work. Can't comment on Ares but I have a G&G cost me around the £300 mark can't fault it really, the only things done internally was shimming, new hop unit, did fit a tightbore but had to put standard back in as took me over site fps limits and a cheap mosfet so I could run a lipo battery, did I really need to do any of it, no I didn't. So as advised get yourself some cash together take your time ( you are only 18 so have all the time in the world 😁). You should be able to pick up a good gun for around the 300 ish mark. On another point, eye protection, there is nothing that will destroy you game play experience than a crap set of eye protection, you want the best goggles you can afford, I hate mesh but the problem with goggles is fogging so until we can all get back to shooting each other there's another thing to investigate. Have fun and take care👍

What have I got involved in😁, thanks for the welcome👍
