THIS ADVERT IS 'UNCOMPLETED' - THIS MEANS THE ADVERTISER HASN'T BUMPED THIS LISTING, BUT IT COULD STILL BE WORTH CONTACTING THEM.
- Wanted
- Used or as new
Looking for the JG G3 handguard as pictured, not fussed if the bipod is there or missing and a few marks, no issue as I'll most likely spray it olive green. Ideally looking to do a straight trade - I have the JG G3 with the RIS rail and claw mount - looking to trade both for the right handguard. I'm in Kent, so ideal if within the south east.NO VALUE SPECIFIED

If it is the S&T one, they're in stock new at Patrol Base for £359.99, so I guess he should be looking more like 60% of that, so about £215 - £220, especially as he knows little to nothing about it.

Considering Driver Wood is the only site I've been to where an argument between players has come to throwing punches, I'd say that it is unfortunately warranted. Albeit not for defending staff actions, but more so for potential footage of evidence or to back up the site banning a player.

Considering people are trying to get around £300 for smersh rigs on eBay, they're dreaming if they think a seemingly boneyard RIF is that valuable, "rare" model or not.

Got snapped 📸 at Imperium last Sunday. Mixed MTP/CCE and franken-rig DIY split rig (made of 1 x PLCE webbing yoke, 2 x Arktis side-pouch pockets & 4 x Techinkom 2 mag AK pouches). LCT wire folder AK.

The errant part arrived today, received a phone call from Dave himself yesterday morning, saying that the shipment had arrived. He even gave me free post, (I'd moved since placing my order and could no longer reasonably make it to the shop) I offered to pay the difference bit he declined. So, I would absolutely recommend or use DCA again in the future, but only for their UK in stock items. Unfortunately said item was an AK wooden stock, meant for a JG, with the part arriving being an SRC stock - no real fault of DCAs, they just get what they're given by the euro wholesaler, so it will require a bit of filing/trimming to fit. But it will finish the build. Matter resolved.

Braved the wind for the first skirmish day of the year at Imperium. Luckily the wind wasn't too bad with most of the chosen playing areas sheltered by trees/terrain. Low numbers for the site, at about 40 pax. A few father/son duos which is always nice to see. Relatively slow start to the morning, with the first game not starting until just after 10:30. Especially when the safety kicks off around 09:00. 2 games either side of lunch, and considering the wind and cold meaning more layers worn, hit taking wasn't too bad. With a few but not many complaints and not extra briefings from the Marshall. Good play with quite a few "kills" pushing positions or getting sneaky flanks. The only point of contention was the use of one player's 'riot' shield. It kind of unbalanced a capture the flag game. Especially with said player declaring they couldn't feel below the shield leg shots because of padding. And the shield seemingly impervious to pyro - it was briefed at the beginning to be bb resistant only. Overall good day, but as always I would recommend the "ground war" days at Imperium, mainly because skirmish days are like herding cats. The next ground war is on the 4th of Feb, may see some of you there.

Fair enough, didnt realise things can get held that long - my dad imports furniture, and the longest he's had is about 3 week hold. I'll wait a bit longer then. I'd have thought the euro-supplier stuff would be a case like you said every 2 weeks or however long they just put their bulk order in, or ship what's been ordered in the last 'x' period if time.

Hi all, ordered a single part - nothing too exciting or expensive, from DCA knowing it was from their euro-distributor (gunfire?) with the expected arrival into their shop of 15-30 days. Item ordered first week of November, with a notification they'd placed the order with the wholesaler 3 days later. Without hearing anything else for 30 days, I sent an enquiring email on the 31st/32nd day, asking after the item's whereabouts. On 12th Dec, told via email the whole order was being held by customs/border force but would be released 'soon' - fair enough, forgotten about and I enjoyed the xmas festivities. No further news until chasing up yesterday, 16th Jan, to be told today that the order was still with customs/border force. Just wondering if anyone else is in the same boat? Probably just going to request a refund at this point and move on.

I've got quote a few in my Steam library but the ones I actually play predominately are: Total War Empire / Attila Age of Empires 2 - childhood nostalgia S.T.A.L.K.E.R series (I need to try the Gamma/Alpha mods) DAYZ If you've never played them before, I'd recommend the METRO series- good single player games

Selling my full gear (together) to pay bills 🤦🏻♂️
OTH21 commented on MeTaL's advert in Spring Rifles
Hey, not a question. But if you need the money quicker, you're more likely to sell it quickly if you list it separately e.g. spring rifle and relevant accesories, pistol and relevant accessories, clothing (with brand name), vest (is it a brand?), helmet/face protection. Otherwise you'll probably get quite low offers for someone to take it one go. All the best. -
They've not provided extra cover at least the last 3 years, since I first sold a RIF. Doubt they probably ever have. Any compensation charged at the counter by staff is probably due to ignorance to their rules or the generic questions they have to ask as to value. Personally I've always prepaid online and just dropped it off to be scanned. And had no dramas so far.
-
They will insure RIFs/Package items to their minimum insurance level for PF48 which IIRC is £150, any additional/enhanced insurance is null and void in the shipping of RIFs with them. Last time I read through their T&Cs they will only ship "Low Powered Air Weapons" using their PF48 service, so not sure how they'll respond to the use of PF24 etc for shipping. Below image from their T&Cs.

I might be able to help with MTP clothing, you're welcome to ping a private message. I'm trying to get the ball rolling on an online military surplus store, to help me alongside being a poor mature student. Mainly looking to shift stuff at a smidge above wholesale prices to get my processes polished. Offer is there for anyone else. Cheers. However bootfairs can be a good shout for picking up kit.
-
You could list the material kit on eBay, seen plmety of bundles or single items. Viper kit does alright on there. Just fill the item title and description with as many relevant key words as you like. Just mind out for eBay fees when you price things up. If you qent the ebay route I'd recommend putting all the Woodland stuff in one group, mtp in another and a final one for the black pouch/other bits. Happy selling. Or if you can wait a bit longer into 2024, Red Alert in Berkshire usually run quarterly bootfairs, or you have the Midlands airsoft fair - and I'm sure there's plenty of other sites that hold bootfairs out there. They'd potentially easier to sell the RIFs at.
-
Thanks for the speedy reply, but unfortunately after trying to put said RIF in my basket it was actually sold out. But happy to consider them in the future.

Cancel, website was showing RIF in stock, when in fact it wasn't. Oh well.

Run a chicom 3 mag pouch. Currently gathering components to build a chicom "visits brecon, webbing set". Have used the SADF Pattern83 vest before and regret selling it tbh. And for anyone with multiple RIFs, I'd say it's an easy go to if you don't mind the colour. Franken-rig made up of 1 x PLCE dpm yoke, ARKTIS side plate panels and buckshee osprey pouches. Gave me a split front chest rig for £20. Has the ability to carry 6 + 5.56 mags, 2 x pistol mags or speedloaders, water/food/pyro etc. Actually half decent. Shame I don't run any 5.56 RIFs. Also bought a 5 cell 5.56 bandolier to add elastic to and run as an Allen belt type bit of kit of just over the shoulder.

I'd recommend Cyma AKs however I'd say if you can, go for a VFC clone as opposed to the TM ones, purely down to "newer tech" in the way the VFC ones are built. Note that Cyma AKs do tend to fire "hot" from new- I had one at 370fps on .2s. So you may need to change the spring to suit your sites limits. Or buy 2nd hand that is at the correct FPS. If you got a 028 AK second hand you don't want to be paying more than £80/90 for the RIF and a mag or two. Cyma AKs are quite common in the classifieds and are usually sensibly priced - but the higher end Cyma's run into 2nd hand prices for E&L and LCT aks. Which have superior externals but sometimes lackluster internals. Not used MP5s so can't comment. Tri Shotguns are supposedly underwhelming with usually 1in3 barrels only hopping a BB correctly, the other 2 dribble out. I do have a spring AGM MP003 single barrel Shotgun which is OK as an emergency back up/garden plinker- it cost me £18 from Extreme Airsoft. Finally, as above don't bother with an AEP pistol. They're similar money to a Gas non-blowback pistol like the clone MK23s (ASG/STTI) - which I'd say is a better option and they're upgradeable. All the best, enjoy the money pit that is Airsoft.

Does anyone know of any airsoft bootfairs at any sites in Kent or the surrounds coming up in December/January. Got a box of odds and ends to try and sell but not really worth the postage fees per item. Happy to accept PMs if you don't want to tell the world. Cheers.
-
For Postage and packing, the only postal carrier that will ship RIFs knowingly for a private seller is Parcelforce via the 48hour service. Been a while since I've shipped one but its around £10 give or take a bit of change for anything upto 10kg. Can't help with the exact valuation of the RIFs though. Usual pricing for a working RIF is around 60% of retail price. Maybe more if its a collectors item. There are a few sites/traders that will buy RIFs like Action Hobbies or Stack Up Airsoft. They're like the CEX of airsoft I guess. All the best.

For Sale LCT AKMS, it originally had black polymer furniture but I've added an LCT wood kit (has marks as pictured) It's been skirmished a few times, however it's mainly been a back up to my other upgraded LCT. Includes 1 x Cyma Mid cap mag(more reliable than LCT ones) Overall good condition except: -Red cable has come out of the back of the mini tamiya connection, reseats fine and does connect, but recommended change to Deans. - Changing from Semi to Auto upwards, RIF stays in semi (possibly just needs the fire selector position tweaked on the gearbox) going from Safe to Auto - fine, I mainly play at Semi only sites so it's not been an issue. Stock internals, I can include a 7.4 LiPo if face to face sale. I took along today 12/11/23 to Imperium, in Kent and it chrono'd at 305Fps on .25s. I also have videos available via WhatsApp of it operating. Not looking for trades, as I'm looking to put the money into another hobby. Asking £225 cash, I'm happy to hand deliver it myself in Kent, possibly along M3/A303/M25 and Amesbury area of Wiltshire. However let me know where you are in the South East (not London) and might be able to justify the journey. Other than that happy to post at £240 inclusive of PayPal G&S and Parcelforce48 post.£225

Extreme Airsoft seems to be offering pretty good deals at the moment. E&L AK12 over half the original listed price: https://extremeairsoft.co.uk/product/el-ak12-raf-aeg-essential/ Tempted myself but looking to thin a RIF or two out before Xmas.

Spotted on Telegram, political sentiments aside, what a plonker. Openly carrying what I assume is a Two Tone IF in public somewhere in NI. Think he's taken the LARP a bit too far.
