  1. Had the chance to compare a real L85 against the WE on the weekend, really neat to see all the little differences in fit and feel and record a bit of video of it too

      Which one is heavier?

      The real one in theory, by 200 grams. However, all the we weight is in the back end so it handles terribly compared to the real one and feels much much heavier

      Should check out Murdoch and Co theyre making real semi auto ones

  2. A friend bought one up to show off, it was a recent purchase. He said that it might have been a pre production sample that was partially modernised for testing and then deactivated once it served its purpose, but that's third hand info at this point that I haven't been able to verify. They are very rare and he wouldn't give me an exact number on how much it cost, but it was well north of 5k The SUSAT is also genuine of course and in very very good condition
  3. We L86 LSW conversion from a WE L85 using a genuine SUSAT, and then another WE L85 alongside a genuine deac L85 (A1 lower, A2 upper, A1 bolt)
  4. Yep I posted the wrong link, hitman's is the one
  5. This is something that annoys me greatly and the reason I don't do gun reviews, it's not really a representative review of the gun if that's all you have the space for
  6. That's a pricey price, what differentiates it from the spina OEM OKP-7 that begun manufacture recently? https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4001295123552.html The reason I ask is Spina doesn't have an amazing reputation for electronics, I've had a couple go kaputt within a few months now with no impacts or anything It's a shame as they OEM some of the weird optics choices like a half decent susat and G36 scope, but again the electronic stuff tends to fall short on their internal connections and that's quite a price difference
  7. To present the obvious, you could also just use a HK hook instead of a QD
  8. We've had this one here before, the issue is that the aimpoint is most likely genuine. It's obviously not an M2 but it does match the M4 I have (and notably doesn't have the design differences that my repro m4 has) He's ruined it with the paintjob though and frankly if he gave it a decent paintjob and wrote on the listing what's actually on the gun then he'd have a much better chance of selling it
  9. Yep would have got it myself if I hadn't spent the month's budget on other things, that's a good price
  10. Pair of WE gas blowback L86 LSW's. One is owned by myself, I've just finished converting the other for a customer The left one is mine with a genuine buttpad and rear grip and spina susat, the right one is using ICS furniture with a genuine acog
  11. I'd be curious about component cost, where do you even get a sensor and emitter like that from?
  12. If you do that, just make sure that there's not one in the chamber already of course
  13. O rings can be easy to replace but getting the size right can be a frustrating initial cost. For standard TM MWS mags, I use m4 x 1 and M12 x 1.5. For the nozzle, which brand of nozzle did you replace it with? Some brands like angry gun have a higher failure rate than average, but it can also be caused by loading the magazines to max capacity which then puts upward pressure on the nozzle, leading it to come into battery at an incorrect angle and break
  14. Should probably report that to the mods then rather than here tbh, the slide is common sense because airsoft but the rest is false advertising
  15. Unless they're not clones, if they're clones and he hasn't disclosed that (which he hasn't) then that's a different issue, but the listing implies that they're genuine
  16. I'm going to defend the lad here, that looks very much like a genuine aimpoint. It's not an M2 obviously but it's genuine, new price of one of those is about 800 at the low end and about 450 used. Painting it is a shame and the price is still too high, but it's not quite as ridiculous as first impression might suggest
  17. It's worth noting that he does sell these as part of his job, with anything of a 'first batch' nature the usual argument of 'he wouldn't sell it if it sucked' doesn't really hold up unfortunately, so perhaps a pinch of salt is advised. I'm still planning to get their PP19 when it comes out, but I haven't really seen enough yet to say enough about wellpro's capability aside from the teething issues that have been brought up like double feeding

    VFC AK74 Npas

    No problem, the general go-to for vfc npas is cl project but vfc does their own, I'm not sure how readily available they are however

    VFC AK74 Npas

    A hex head that can take an Allen key

    VFC AK74 Npas

    No, that's a restrictor disc, it's not beneficial and can be removed by screwing it out. Leaving it in causes backpressure against the rocket valve when closing, which hampers blowback slightly and can introduce inconsistency in FPS. Inside there may still be an npas, mine had the restrictor and npas as well

    Elcan C79

    Yeah I'm thinking 600 ATM for this tbh but 500 if I'm ever in need of quick cash, seems fair either way so far
  22. Hobbnob

    Elcan C79

    Yeah it's not a reproduction so a lot more than 200 at least (even the repros aren't worth that but for a different reason lol) but it's hard to say, not having any other in the UK also makes it valuable but again, hard to say. I found a shop listing for the civilian version that went for 2k cad (about 1k GBP in today's money, a lot more back then) and this is the military version, and again the 3.4 doesn't exist anymore as a model and the actual military C79 is long gone https://store.theshootingcentre.com/elcan-c79-a2-3-4x-riflescope/

    I'm open to offers but like I say, I'm not in a rush either way

    Elcan C79

    Genuine Elcan C79/Spectre OS3.4x, the black non-tensioner variant that came before the green variant. Scope is real, mount is real, reticle is the canadian post. As far as I'm aware, this is the first and only C79 to enter the UK I'm not really sure if I want to hold onto it for long so I'm gauging opinions here, the C79's were never intended to be surplussed afaik so it's a bit rare, from what I can tell they were supposed to all be destroyed as part of the C7A2 modernisation program
  25. Lol I'm always open to offers but it's a one off I'm uploading gameplay and planning to do a build video on the YouTube but I don't know if I'm allowed to post that kind of thing here, if not then you can just Google me and you'll find it
