Indeed - especially after your recent celebrations for Treason Day.

 

Welcome aboard and we hope you have a sense of humour.

 

Look forward to hearing a different perspective on things. 👍😁

Strikes me that much of the Airsoft selling machine has a very odd take on Distance Selling regulations and Consumer Rights.

Totally agree I can be sarcastic as fornication at times(I am Welsh after all , it’s our TRUE national sport) BUT I do try to temper it slightly if an add does seem overly hopeful or just “oh dear that seller really hasn’t a clue on resale value do they !” and on the whole I do think Mac’s sticks to that BUT I do also enjoy it when some wankspanggle gets called out for claiming something their selling is blatantly not(SPR anyone ?🤦‍♂️)what they claim it is AND then try doubling down on it ! 🤦‍♂️

when are these dumbasses ever going to realise this forum is populated buy a lot of players with even more knowledge about the game and the kit than most retailers ! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

EDIT , 
And low and behold I give you my exact point !
it’s an AA SA80A1 tarted up so I’m hoping it’s lack of resale value knowledge .
seller says based in Andover ? more like Bendover at that price ! 😳

 

 

Why do they always have to photo their trainers?

With SWMBO or out of the country I have access to a Louise Viton.... The DMR of handbags.

The day before I go airsofting, I put my hydration pouch in the freezer.  Works a treat everytime.

 

 I was paranoid about it bursting so chickened out. 

[One for the bikers ???]

Been a long time since I've been on two wheels and they were always Japanese.  That does look pretty though.  Hope you enjoy it. 👍

[Airsofting in the heat]

Just remember... In the winter well all be moaning about the cold, the wet, and how our gas pews don't shoot further than dog can piss. 

 

Hydration is the key. 

[Macks airsoft dreamers of the week thread]

Reminds me of the time that SWMBO left the boy unattended with a catering sized tub of E45 cream..... Have a picture somewhere LOL

 

 

Yep.... Looks about right 🤣🤣🤣

It's a proper one bought for the job.  It came with a couple of replacement protectors, but to buy replacements costs more than the entire sheet of lexan, which can be used for multiple purposes.

I've bought lexan sheets on ebay and cut my own lens protectors for the scopes I and the boy have.  Doesn't take long. 

 

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/164352705597?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=I4aYgJ4XT5K&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=vIhnknhNSsO&var=463965821066&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

 

I file them so that they have a good friction fit. 

 

I've had direct hits to them with no damage to either the lexan or the lens.  Once was whilst I was looking down the scope.... Which was a bit of a shock. 

 

I have bought a pop up one for my red dots, but when that gets damaged I can make a lexan replacement to go in the holder.

Just noticed he got three out of those four. 

 

Smug fucker.

By definition you're not going to achieve this. 

[The 'What Have You Just Made' Thread - Off Topic Edition]

It's good to see someone who still repairs small mechanisms and even better, thi gs that are designed not to be fixed.

 

I can't play shit when it comes to musical instruments LOL.  The boy however could be great if he ever practiced.  He has just been in a showcase for his drumming academy, but I've not heard his drum kit at home in months.  Yet he knocked play g Danger Zone out of the park after only playing for 30 minutes a week since seei g the new Top Gun. 

 

Genre wise we both like loads of things from Babymetal to Cascada with trips over to Ramstein and Artic Monkeys.  His current favourite track is Cumberland Gap.  At the moment I'm revisiting my Happy Hard-core days from the 90's.  A shame I can't find my old tapes 😢. 

 

 

Thanks for the compliments on the guitar stand though.   That kind of thing is profitable if you can find an outlet for it, or have access to people who are interested in buying things made to measure.  I have customers (as a London plumber) who do very nicely making furniture, jewellery and musical instruments.  Some got there through hard work and luck.  Others by knowing the right people. 

 

If I ever do this for money, it will be after I've moved to Japan and can play on the eccentric foreigner thing and have no immediate worries about money and mortgages 😂😂

[Newb in Sussex]

Bloody Nora... Drove past it twice today goi g clay shooting at Horam.  LOL

[The 'How Did Your Airsoft Day Go? Thread]

Not exactly a day of airsofting,  but went big-boy pew pewing with the boy and my dad.  Stumbletts Clay shoot near Horam.

 

 

Been a couple of years since I last did this and was atrocious.  The lad however.... Certainly kicked my arse with some pretty tricky stands.  I remember wheb the place just opened up and was literally a shed and a couple of knocked together leaning posts for your guns.  Over the years it's been improved and now the open area is like a sodding golf course. 

 

 

The lad's first time out with a 12-bore too.  It's been poachers guns and 410 cartridges upto now. 

 

To top it all off we had a layover on the way home to pick up yet another pew pew.

Is it any good?  Hailsham is 15 minutes away from where my dad lives. 

 

 

Not sure my step mum would be too happy though.  Being from a massive farming family she kinda thinks this whole thing is a bit silly... Which I told her is the point. LOL. 

[Newb in Sussex]

My 13 year old loves the game and is the whole reason I'm in it now.  Welcome to the money pit.

All joints soldered and shined 😎

 

We did stick some pads made of sheet class O insulation on the contact points and along the runners at the bottom.  

 

This copper fixtures and furniture thing is something I might do when I retire and have nothing to do LOL.  One customer did offer me £200 to make one for her daughter - but it took most of the day plus the copper so worth about 3 times that whilst I'm still working properly.

[The 'What Have You Just Made' Thread - Off Topic Edition]

Not really the creative type... But I made this for the boy:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Gave it 6 coats of clear coat so it is still pretty shiny even now, nearly 3 years later.

 

Does the guitar ever get played?   Does it fuck.

Ironically it's plumbed into the river Thames....so it's isn't even sourcing anything from the ground. 

 

A flipping liberty if you ask me. 😁
