Thanks mate, I've yet to take it to a game until tomorrow, going to see what the fps is like, I have 3 springs to take with me, all made by guarder a sp90, sp100 and sp110. Already got a few modify improved hop rubbers and a maintenence kit from novritsch. Done a small test shoot with it on semi and full auto and I'm very pleased with it, very little deviation in the bbs at 20m. Tomorrow will be a better test of how it shoots as it will be used in its first game.

A little update to my thread as I've not posted anything for ages, played 4 games as a rental, 4th game landed on day 56 for my ukara on Sunday 1st August, ukara was sorted on that day and then boom, ordered myself a modify xtc g1 ms from patrol base.

What mags fit that? My chest rig fits either ak or m4 mags which is why I'm leaving towards m4/l85a2. Plus I want an assault rifle not an smg, the only small I like is the mp5 so may get a jg one down the line.

I don't intend to mate I'll see if they are able to order one in for me or something, if not then I will shop elsewhere, thanks for the heads up though, appreciate it. Thank you

No worries, the site I go to has an on site retailer and the site can hold a rif for me until my ukara got processed, I'm just getting the games in first so I can learn the field as a rental lol 😀

I have read into the requirements for ukara before I played my first game and confirmed with a retailer and also from ukaras own site, it states 3 games in no less than 2 months, my 2nd game will be 20th June and my third will be just over a month after that one, I'll more than likely get a 4th game in anyway as I really enjoy playing airsoft

1, British patriotism. 2, I like bullpups. I would also disable any blowback as what I have learned is I tend to transition from right, to left handed, just something I did without thinking about on my first game. Budget would be around £400 for just a gun alone. Another reason for leaning towards a cyma platinum cm0.97 is upgrades down the road and have it as a dmr once I get a pistol then a 2nd aeg. Cyma seems to open up these possibilities down the road for me, more so than an l85 does, but I still really want an l85 lol. Still I have 2 more games in just over a month to get my ukara so plenty of time to look and review everything.

I certainly do, I already have a viper elite gen 2 trousers in dpm, invader gear style top in dpm (only cost £20 on amazon). I did however splash nearly £90 on a warrior pathfinder chest rig from uk tactical as I found the rented plate carrier quite cumbersome. One thing I am struggling with however is which brand of rif to go for once I get my ukara number. My heart is set on a g&g l85a2 but get the feeling it will need work on it to get it running reliably, not too sure about the ics version of the l85 as I've heard it overhops when hopup is at its lowest setting. Because of all this I am now leaning towards a cyma platinum 0.97 14.5" aeg but have heard the mosfet burns out if you continually fire 45 sec to 1 min on semi auto, I feel this review I read was someone deliberately trying to brake the thing, in a skirmish that just don't happen really. Any advice would be a great help

Thank you to all who replied, I had my first game on the 6th of June at invicta battlefield and its safe to say I'm hooked, going again on the 20th June at the same site.

Thank you EDcase, good to know. That's 1 item off my list Thanks GenuineGerman, as for eyepro I've been looking at the Novritsch large goggles along with the subscription inserts as I wear glasses. I used to wear my dads old army boots when was a cadet many moons ago

Hi all, having never played airsoft (yet) I am looking to get into it in the not too distant future but there are a few essentials I need before I take the plunge. I was wondering if anyone has any opinions on these boots before I hit the buy button, https://www.military1st.co.uk/vboosopmc-viper-special-ops-boots-multicam.html?___store=default&refSrc=176224&nosto=nosto-page-product1 I like the idea of the zip as they will also save as my fishing boots while carp fishing.
