Update: Well chaps I spent a good few hours at the shop today, tried out the mordred and also tried out the bastion (same internals, m4 design with a nice little groove in the hand guard) I've plumbed for the bastion, 3 mid cap mags and a tracer that will screw onto the end as I play a lot of CQB. My god that initial price ring up on the till 😬 but after trying both guns on their range the bastion seems a really nice bit of kit. I should be collecting it in a week!!!

Large edit: realised the e05 has a flash hider that goes some way into the hand guard. Did yet more googling and am now looking at the e08! https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/specna-arms-rock-river-arms-sa-e08-edge-carbine This seems much closer to what I want at first glance. Mosfet, able to put tracer on the end, just need to see some reviews As always thoughts much appreciated from you kind folks!!!

Damn might be searching again then. At least I'm learning a lot during all this googling:)

Been checking this one out a bit more https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/specna-arms-rock-river-arms-sa-e05-edge-carbine Seems to tick the boxes. MOSFET, looks like I could put tracer on the end. I'm at the shop on Saturday to look at the arthurian mordred but not sure I am too keen on it yet. Would the e05 stand up in quality and reliability, planning to play twice a month. The indecision is real 😀

ahahaha yes ok fair play that made me chuckle. I'll leave it alone I promise!! just want to put a tracer on it and I'll be golden I think. Having done some googling around it seems Arthurian share the same OEM as Specna. I had a look at a slightly higher end specna and came out with this... https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/specna-arms-sa-e12-edge-2-0-tm?pv=15527 so I'm in a quandry. E11 or E12 from specna, or the Mordred from Arthurian.

Yeah I don't think I need any fancy features just wanted to protect the contacts as you just said. I will want to put a tracer on it, just studying the edge 11 at the moment to see how that would stitch together. Getting addicted to roaming around finding ways to tinker with it and I don't even have it yet!

Thanks for the replies all. Yeah I am trying to make judgements on price vs benefit, as you say it's a tough call. I realised there are many "e" type specnas, I found this one which I'm giving some serious thought to. Has a mosfet (though will it be a good one at that price point) https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/specna-arms-rock-river-arms-sa-e11-edge-carbine Decisions decisions!!!

That does look pretty awesome. And to be fair the 2021 revision of mordred has a mosfet built in. I'm a strong advocate of "only going to buy it once" I'd rather put a bit more money down if I know the quality of build is going to be there!

Hi all Looking into buying first airsoft rif, mostly do CQB so far but would consider doing some outdoor too. I am stuck between two tiers of price really, I have been looking at Arthurian mordred in the store before lockdown at a £300 price point: https://bombupairsoft.co.uk/products/arthurian-airsoft-excalibur-mordred-sandstone-m4-aeg?variant=31130619609191 However I also saw this at £185 which also has mosfet, comes with two mid cap mags... https://extremeairsoft.co.uk/shop/assault-rifles/electric-aeg-rifles/m4/specna-arms-rra-sa-e05-edge-with-gate-mosfet/ Can anyone help me out with some opinions between the two? Many thanks all edit: having done some research in this forum people also seem to recommend cyma platinum? https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/cyma-cm-097d-platinum-edition?pv=11617
