  1. Same. The Airsoft_UK subreddit terrible in terms of it's moderation too. 2nd hand sales threads tend to get locked or deleted and then redirected to a dead UK Airsoft Sales subreddit. Airsoftcirclejerk tends to have couple of funny posts.
  2. I like the Magpul handguard on the MP5. @ButcherBill What's the name of the stippled/textured handguard on the third one down?
  3. Any kind of Gas magazine means you're going to get stiffed if buying in the UK, especially on 'primary' guns. I tend to look at WGC Shop, ProAct Store and Impulse 101 when I want MP9 or MP7 mags as they're often a third of the price of UK retailers. After postage, i'm paying about 60% of the price of UK retailers.
  4. I have finally joined the dark side. Kythera into an old VFC/Cybergun Scar-H and snagged some lads EMGxTTI TR-1 with a Backdraft Pheonix inside.
  5. This may interest you. Not so much the launcher he's using - but the projectiles.
  6. A quick second place to marshalling being fair and consistent would be; listening to feedback from the players on what does and doesn't work - being open to feedback is huge. Bonus points if the site owner actually plays at the site to first hand see what is or isn't working.

    Pyro

    I would have suggested BulkPyroSupplies but they've recently stopped trading for 'changes in personal circumstances'. They were usually the lowest priced retailer and offered nice discounts for bulk purchases. Same with a website called 308sniper.co.uk - used to buy a lot of my pyro from there as the postage was fast and much cheaper than others then it suddenly shut down. Alternatively, you can go directly to Enola Gaye and get a nice little discount (10% or so) and free postage on orders that are over £200 if I remember rightly. You cannot buy directly from FBS - I asked pretty much a year ago and they told me to use BulkPyroSupplies. You could try approaching your local site owners. If you're a regular there, and on good terms, you could try asking them to buy them at trade prices and giving you a bit of a discount. Especially if you burn through a load of pyro (definitely not me). It's time consuming but you could just google for the type of pyro you want and see which retailers have it in stock. Be warned that not all retailers will post pyro and require in-store/person collection - I would have spend hundreds at ZeroOne during their closing down sale if they'd have posted pyro. Probably good for me that they wont
  8. You can add comments to the post on the right side. Bold pricing tactic. I wonder how that'll work out for him.
  9. Not done one of these for a bit: Armageddon Airsoft: The Woodland for the past two visits has been a fantastic site. My most recent visit was a great day with very balanced games and the site is constantly changing their game modes to suit player count and to keep things fresh which is a welcome change to other sites i've been to. My L85 has been suffering with random power drops, range and accuracy issues. I swapped to my Mk18 after two games being fed up with the complete dice-roll accuracy of my L85. My Mk18 worked well for two games before it began to produce the same problem of firing once per two trigger pulls but it was intermittent enough that I battled through these issues until the end of the day but annoying nonetheless. BBQ lunch was provided.
  10. It has a 14mm CCW thread so yes. You might have to check the stock muzzle device to see if it has a grub screw that secures it in place before you unscrew it.
  11. You would be best off posting in the Appraisals section here if you're in need of valuation: https://airsoft-forums.uk/forum/151-appraisals/ Otherwise, the classifieds section exists.
  12. It auto applies the discount at checkout - it fooled me too.
  13. I was talking about this on a Discord. I bought 2x of these mags from a retailer in Asia for... £70 including postage. Absolute insanity.
  14. Yes. 100% I use a copious amount of pyro and have been on the receiving end of plenty and I now pretty much always use active hearing protection after i've left airsoft fields with smashing headaches and/or ringing ears far too often to not advocate fields at least offering the disposable foam earplugs on hand for everyone who plays and wants them. There's almost zero downside to using it other than having to buy and set it up. People will debate on this but I will always say I can hear everything that's happening around me sooner than I would without but at the same time, you get tricked into thinking it's closer than it really is if that makes sense. Personally, I use the Earmor M20T in-ear hearing protection. I originally bought mine for £55 on ebay and it seems to still be the cheapest place to grab them. I've always found that the over-ear style hearing protection makes my ears/head sweat too much so the in-ear ones make much more sense (for me). I'd suggest going for the M20 as the '-T' variant are the bluetooth ones which have a red/blue flashing LED when not in range of a connected device. I've had to apply black tape over this light. The M20 doesn't have this light AFAIK but i'm not sure if there's any difference in the technology used in the device.
  15. Easiest and cheapest option: Revision Anti-Fog wipes. They're witchcraft. Breathe on your goggles to steam them up and wipe with the cloth a few times. They take some effort to steam up after that. Using a Delta Mike snood appears to help me because it doesn't trap heat like other face protection. Finally, I use an Exfog unit secured to the back of my helmet with the tubes ran on the inside of the lid, into the goggles. Novritsch has his own type of Exfog unit if you can't find one in stock. I get condensation on the inside of the goggles but rarely do I get actual fogging.

    Personally, never had an issue when buying anything but shipping is expensive so don't take the price per item as gospel, you can pay a huge fee in postage and I think it's mostly weight dependant.
  17. Chiming in with another positive experience as i've used them a few times. As others have said, they tend to have a lot of random parts that are unavailable elsewhere. The cheap postage is good but they take a few days to a week to actually dispatch.
  18. Another quality night game at Armageddon Airsoft with a BBQ during the longer break - sadly a smaller crowd showed up tonight probably due to NAF but still enjoyable. Just shy of halfway into the night my Mk18s gearbox decided to lock up right after a reload. Pull the trigger and - clunk and then a dead trigger. Annoying but not really an issue I had my G&G L85A2 as a backup. It was dark now and because G&G have big brains they didn't thread the muzzle device on the barrel meaning I didn't have a tracer so it was hard to tell where my BBs were going but I worked through it using my weapon light... then my L85 decided to strip something in the gearbox... FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUU- this gun has never been fielded and had about 3 mags total through it. I was left with my TM MK23 and two magazines which thankfully did have a tracer I'd got into the suppressor. I now understand why people love this pistol so much. I had to pick my shots with my very limited ammo count and managed to land some great shots on people who were barely visible in the now pitch black forest. The pistol kills were supplemented with a copious amount of grenades. Now i've got ANOTHER two guns to strip and fix ?
  19. Nice one, ty. I'm kind of praying it works because the metal shells are cheap metal, damage easily but are expensive
  20. The guy who made them has a Reddit post which is where I found he actually published the file. Given they're probably relatively cheap to print, i'd assume they're one time use thing so you don't need to scavenge them back up so it won't matter if they're super fragile. As long as they work once, they're good. IIRC he's printing them in ABS. Here's a link to his thread.
  21. On an unrelated note; does anyone think they can 3D print these shells for the shell ejecting Kar98K? Link to the file.
  22. Annoyed that this has happened. I'm in a few Discords and all but one of the smaller ones have suspended their sales channels. They were a great place to hang out and casually chat with people or ask for advice. I suspect without the sales channels being active they'll die off pretty quickly.
  23. That looks like a Specna Arms SA-E23. If anyone knows i'm talking mad shit, please correct me, but the 'slots' you can see at the 3, 6 and 9 positions are m-lok. There's plenty of attachments that are m-lok. If you can't find m-lok attachments, there are m-lok to RIS rail sections that exist so you can attach just about anything. The top rail is standard 20mm RIS/RAS AFAIK which will accept just about most accessories.
  24. You would be best off posting in the Appraisals section here: https://airsoft-forums.uk/forum/151-appraisals/
  25. Damn. Hopefully it's only a small batch that are identified to be suffering from this. Can you imagine if all of the RIFs are all prone to this same failure?
