Army Armament R85A2. Despite all the listings i've seen of this RIF saying the handguard is nylon/plastic, this one appears to be metal. Only gripe is that the sling loop got snapped during shipping. Fire-support have an ICS one in stock, chances are I can modify it to fit. Just need to get a dovetail to RIS converter so I can use optics with it, an A2 style charging handle and then it's on to internal upgrades.

Normally for me it's about 1 week or 2 weeks max. As long as you have your UKARA properly written on the parcel or import docs, no other paperwork you need to fill in. But UPS is an exception. They are a real pain in the arse when it comes to importing RIFs. Avoid them as you can.
My RIF appears to be assigned to Parcelforce so that's a bonus I guess. Shame that it takes 1/2 weeks to clear customs. I did ask the retailer to put my UKARA on the label but i've also messaged Parcelforce themselves to make sure they definately have it.

I've waited for it for too long but I'm not one of the 4 because I already have my DX with UK customs right now (show mercy pls).
Let me know how long your customs checks take. I've got a RIF stuck with customs ATM on the same date as yours and mine came from HK. Also, let me know if you had to fill in any additional paperwork. Ty.

CO2 is a dry gas. Most bulbs/cartridges dont come with lube added but you can add a drop of silicone oil to the top of the bulb before 'charging' it and it'll help lube keeps the seals in good condition. 1 bulb per mag usually lasts me all game day unless i'm forced into using my pistol a lot.

They used to be £114 from Taiwangun when they first released. I do kick myself for not ordering more stuf before they stopped shipping to the UK. 😒
According to Taiwangun on Reddit they're close to being able to ship directly to the UK again. They just want to make sure that everything is going to go to plan before they launch it.

Id contact themThat (I would guess) means that they have just notified dhl to collect and generated your order label and barcode
Tried that and unfortunately by the time I got a reply it had already been handed over to DHL. Oh well.

Cool! Do they have any minimum order value? I want to try the begadi hop rubbers.
It doesn't look like it however shipping appears to be a flat rate just under €20 so best make it worth your while. I wanted to try their hop rubbers and nubs but forgot to add them 😅. My order was dispatched this morning with DHL so I can't even adjust my order.

If you were selling this as a functional prop for cosplayers (in the correct place) you might get your asking price tbh, I think you're selling it in the wrong place here. The Warhammer crowd have a lot of cash to throw on their 'plastic crack', even more than airsoft folks from what i've seen 😁
Personally, It looks good but it's too clean, it could use some weathering to match.

Whilst that is very cool - what's the point of it? Does it actually fire something? (genuine question - I know nothing about launchers)
If it's the VFC one it can shoot a scatter of BBs like a shower shell or a projectile like a ball.
Here's a video showing shower shells and a tip/cap type shell.

Not sure they ship to the UK anymore.
To test this i've dropped an order in for their rotary hop unit and associated extra parts. The UK is on their international shipping page in zone 2. Can't see any issues coming up unless they manually cancel the order. Time will tell

You should try a Sunday
I'm planning on it however the way my shifts have been lining up recently mean that I haven't been able to get there.

I kinda like the lower numbers games. You get a lot of freedom to move around but I understand where you're coming from, there's a lot more action with the bigger groups.

No pics as of yet but I've just got some guys tan A&K Masada (ACR) that's been sat around for a while. They say it's had the wiring repaired and the hop unit replaced as the old one cracked.
The first thing I did is test fire it and jesus christ, this is the single loudest gearbox i've ever heard. Backing the motor height down a bit helped but holy crap it's loud but at least it works. I go to take the rails off the handguard and find that the guy has GLUED the rails to the bloody handguard... With a fair bit of effort I managed to get them off but left behind the glue. Once removed it appears the glue has discoloured the handguard so it's been given a quick once over with tan and brown paint as replacement handguards (in tan) are impossible to find online. Checking the wiring, it's been shoddily repaired with what look like spade connectors. Not massively worried as I planned on throwing a front wired Perun V2 hybrid into it seeing as it's a standard V2 gearbox.
There's a fair few other things going on with it that require minor fiddling to fix. Looks like another potential project where the only place I forsee any real issues is surrounding the hop unit but there's a german company, Begadi, who make replacment CNC rotary hop units, hop arms and C-clips all for the Masada so I might skirt through that relatively unscathed.

No regulator locks? Eesh. Asking for trouble.
Every time i've visited they had small yellow or orange zip-ties that they'd put on all guns/regulators to verify they'd been chrono'd and in the limits and I assume they applied them in a way so that they can't just turn up their regulators without removal. Not sure why they didn't this time but it's annoying to think that these woppers could be adjusting their power on the fly to intentionally hurt people.
I don't understand why HPA locks aren't mandatory. Players have shown plenty of times they can't be trusted.

Played at District 23 again last night but this time with almost double the numbers than normal.
Games were decent and the level of gameplay was fantastic minus one guy refusing to take a trade-kill when we both shot each other within touching distance. I just walked away, can't be bothered with that. Some guy had an absolutely silent Mk23 that you never heard before you felt it. It was insane. One dude got the drop on myself and a teammate and rather than shooting us in the back or legs, chose to shoot both of us in the back of the head with a HPA pistol. Cheers pal.
One negative is that the staff never tagged/ziptied guns or regulators at chrono and I think some of them knew it and might've given themselves a bit of extra juice. Project gun performed fantastically again and never had any issues with BBs striking the tracer since swapping to a shorter Blaster Unit.

Ideally, you want an inner barrel that matches (or as close as possible) to your original inner barrel length. Additionally, if you're changing the inner barrel i'd suggest doing the bucking and nub at the same time. Personally, I always use the Maple Leaf Macaron 60 degree bucking on AEGs with the Maple Leaf Omega nub. Usually around £15-£20.
Suppressors are mainly used for hiding longer inner barrels without having buying a longer outer barrel/handguard, housing tracer units or purely for aesthetics. Not functionality. 90% of noise from an AEG comes from the gearbox and not the muzzle.
Peq boxes are pointless and mostly for aethetics or external batteries.

Is buying a Army Armament R85A2 a potential move if I want an L85A2 with the Daniel Defence style quad rail without paying through the nose for an ICS/G&G AEG and then sourcing a rail for even more cash?
I'm aware that the R85A2 is crap in terms of reliability and internals quality however they're clones of the G&G L85s so spares should be plentiful and any issues that the gun has can likely be solved and internals upgraded (which I plan to do) for less than the cost of the other base guns.
I can get one from the US for about £200 with the quad DD style rail included. Not bothered about working on it as it's half the fun i've found so far.

I'm so so deeply tempted to get a M9A3 but i'm still loving my Shadow 2 minus the slide locking issue due to the shitty ass recoil buffer piece that I still need to grind down.

Case and point. ActionHobbies just had a Mk16 (scar-l) TM NGRS with 3 mags up for £260. Came back 30 min or so later to send link to someone else, gone.
Which one of you was it?

They're fantastic. Shipping cost is above average but arrives very quickly. Can't recommend enough.

I’ve worked out by now that I fucking hate ‘fallback’ game modes in general.
Never played one I liked. I utterly despise them. It's worse when paired with inconsistent and lazy marshalling.

£1300 is insanity for a GBB pistol. I'd much rather spend that on several "mid" guns that are different platforms. I like how PatrolBase classify it as a "skillful" players gun?
ARES SLR stolen
in Guns, Gear & Loadouts
Posted · Edited by MrTea
This is the second post this week (across this forum and reddit) i've seen of gear being stolen. A guy on reddit said he uses Apple Airtags or Samsungs equivalent to track his gear on gamedays if he's leaving it in a 'safe zone' but not locked up. Can't help but feel this is a good idea going forward minus chaining your gear to a tree.
Always take pics of your guns/gear so people know what to look for in the event of it getting picked up by sitck fingered bastards.
