Not 100% sure if it’s allowed here but seems a fresh account is dming people with wanted ad’s, seemingly advertising for socom tactical

That's a shame, their maxim would have been nice.

Pretty sure A&K/Viva Arms/S&T have one.

After being too impatient to wait to find a specna, I opted for the S&T G36V with the grenade launcher (Because why not?). Changed out the launcher with the mg handguard, put a ZCI dual optic on (After a lot of sanding down, it doesn't fit directly onto the S&T) and can now call the MG36 done.

You would think at that price, they would have pictures of the rifle itself at different angles to show as much of it as possible. I try to show as many close up sections of the stuff I'm selling as I can so people can see what they're getting. I love the typical "WE KNOW HOW TO GET THIS FIRING AND WITH THE RIGHT KNOWLEDGE APPLIED FROM A SKILLED ARMOURER OR GUNSMITH, THE GUN WILL FIRE." so... if you have the know how to get it firing, why would you not get it firing before hand, especially if it's as rare as they make it out to be?

https://www.usedairsoft.co.uk/rif-s/c02-powered/socom-gear-barrett-m107-co2-shell-ejecting-replica_i51565 It sounds really good, up until "THE GUN CURRENTLY DOES HAVE SOME WORKING ISSUES AND DOES NOT FIRE." Considering when they was available at retail they was £1,799.99, £3k for a glorified wall hanger seems ever so slightly "dreamer" to me. Are they really that desirable for somebody to cough up £3k for a dodgy airsoft gun?

I wonder what’ll sell first, his galaxy mp5 or the TM Resident Evil pistols that resurface on here every now and then 🤔

So after being told his price is unreasonable he slapped an extra £10 on top?! 🤣

I too have a SOTAC and HW XPS3, and also run into the issue with the CR123A's with the HW. The HW also seems to kill batteries rather fast for mine, there for I would recommend the SOTAC more.

"chicom vest ( have to pay extra £15)"

The orange flash hider gave it away instantly tbh 😂

So an update to this seemingly never ending problem... Patrolbase haven't responded yet, but it's been less than 24 hours so that's understandable. I figured I'd take the inner barrel assembly out and make sure the hop is working, because my m16a1 had an issue where the wheel would just adjust but nothing would change and that led to bb's falling short and going everywhere. Thankfully, the hop is working and adjusting the wheel shows the nub. I'm going to replace the bucking tomorrow per suggestions (Ordered a G&G cold weather because they're quite good and affordable just to test with, that'll be here tomorrow) and hopefully get the fps to where it should be at, as well as fix the veering off shots. Fingers crossed. Update 2: Had a spare hop up bucking from when I replaced my m16a1 one, figured it couldn't hurt to try it in the 416 and it's firing straight every shot without veering off or dropping instantly. Guess I know what the issue was now! So alas, my saga with patrol base and their dodgy guns, and dodgy replaced buckings comes to (hopefully) an end. Thanks again everybody for the help!

Nice one, thanks. I'll look into him if I don't get any luck with PB!

I'm in the Essex area. They supposedly did the o-rings & hop rubber but it definitely doesn't seem like it when using the rifle. Just very disappointed that it's been nothing but issues since I bought it.

So the sticker hasn't been torn/cut/split, it's been removed and restuck on the one side of the gearbox along the seam (If that makes sense). It's definitely odd because somehow the fps has came back worse than before I'd sent it? I've sent an email to patrol base returns team informing them that the rifle is still knackered and asked them what steps to proceed with, thanks to @Adolf Hamster regarding the consumer rights part this falls under all 3 of the standards "Satisfactory quality", "Fit for purpose" & "As described" (They quote Approx. 328fps on their site) Sadly I'm not too hopeful, as they already said they can't refund or replace it when I initially sent it back due to slight rail scuffing, and when I did get it back from them there's a small chunk of receiver taken off from where the body pin is at the front end of the lower.

I purchased it August 24th and discovered the issue August the 25th When I contacted them regarding the issues, they said they was unable to replace/refund due to the scuffs where I've had optics etc on it. No doubt it would be the same, given the rifle has now been fielded too. Hence why I'm assuming it'll now be down to me to sort out.

The rifle feeds fine, no dry firing etc. It may be the nozzle not fitting correctly like you suggested. I'm going to have a look tomorrow and see about getting it checked out, fingers crossed it's good news.

Thanks for the help guys, I'm going to get it looked at somewhere else before I do anything further to it. I'm just really disappointed that something as expensive (to me at least) turned up being a lemon, and after sending it back for a repair, came back the same just with a slightly better fps consistency. It's the first time I've had an issue like this. I definitely want to get the perun and clicker but that'll be once the rest is fixed. Hopefully it's something simple and I can get the rifle working like it should be with minimal cost. 😂

So patrol base put it down as an air leak. They stated that they had: Replaced the hop rubber, piston o ring and a stiffer spring. FPS On 0.2bb: 345 However, chrono'ing today yielded a whopping 203 on .20g bb's Using it throughout the day today, every shot was veering off in various directions or just dropping to the floor in front of me, and every roughly 5th or 6th shot (after a normal hopped shot) being on target and hopping as it should have done. Moving the rotary dial didn't seem to make any difference at all. I plan to also fit a prommy purple which isn't on the list as it's out of stock at bullseye so will look elsewhere. Really I just want to get the rifle shooting great now, so I don't have to worry about it later on down the line and know I have a reliable rifle for game days. 😂

Hey guys, put together an upgrade list for the Umarex HK416A5 AEG patrolbase supposedly "fixed" after having a giant fps leak. (Spoiler, it's still useless) On a budget after buying the gun, patrolbase have said they can't do anything further so I'm on my own now. Just want to make sure all of this is satisfactory, or if any of the parts are bad and should be replaced with x, y or z I'm not looking to make it a high ROF gun or outrange snipers etc, just want it to function decently so I can enjoy using it and not have to worry about bb's falling to the floor 5 metres in front of me (Thanks pb, it's definitely fixed...) I appreciate any help, suggestions and insight from you fine people!

LCT also have some clone zenitco stuff, usually at a higher price than 5KU depending on what peoples after

He priced it based off of a TM that he saw, and thinks it's worth £70 in that state 😬 Maybe that price includes the hard drugs he's been ingesting prior to listing it?

They was only £100 when they was new... Sure, they're out of stock but given the state of it and it being galaxy I can't imagine that it's genuinely worth £100 or am I missing something?

No. I've looked at most of the youtube videos, and that's the video linked from the seller in the items description. He just effortlessly pushes them in, and it's absolute bullsh*t! 😂 I sent the guy a message on ebay and he's offered to fit them for me as long as I pay return postage so fingers crossed. 😁
