  1. Orders made directly with Bullseye arrive as rapidly as those from AK2M4. They are slightly slower through eBay. Postage through eBay is not free; they are including postage (£3.00) in the price; they have a flat rate postage charge (£6.99) for direct orders. The reality is that you are always going to pay a disproportionate amount of postage if you make very small orders. It is not exactly a huge amount or unexpected, so I am not sure why it is something to moan about.
  2. There is also Wolf Armouries in Camden, but they are not my favourite shop: https://wolfarmouries.co.uk
  3. Yes; they deliver good range and stability.
  4. It is hard to say which is best without knowing what you mean by best. Surplus Store UK in Crawley has lots of stuff on display: https://www.surplusstore.co.uk Bespoke Airsoft is near Heathrow and usually has good stock: https://www.bespokeairsoft.co.uk
  5. It is a great guide to shimming; I have been using his approach recently with excellent results.
  6. I really hope that he gets help and support from his family, friends and our community. Getting that news must have been awful; I can only wish him well and hope that what is coming is as painless and dignified as possible.
  7. JD is good; I have been there a few times. It is about a three hour drive for me:). Staffordshire Militaria just didn't feel right at all.
  8. I went to a couple on Saturday; North Staffs Airsoft Centre was a waste of time, with hardly any stock, and Staffordshire Militaria was very off putting.
  9. Somewhat unsurprisingly given the size of my boot collection, I have a pair of those; they are rather nice.
  10. `Ah, yes! I had completely forgotten about the pataphysics of HPA according to that particular individual.
  11. Not all mags and guns are interchangeable. It is probable that the interface between the tube at the bottom of the hop unit and the magazine is not quite right, preventing the BB latch on the mag being pushed back adequately to allow the BBs to feed. Have you tried shooting with the mag pushed forward or pulled back? If it shoots in one of those positions, you can stick sticky backed Velcro (the soft side) in the magwell so that the mag sits correctly. Some guns are very picky about which mages they will feed from. Specna are known to be picky; this page may help: https://specnaarms.com/en/magazine-compatibility-chart/
  12. Obviously, there is a slight power and velocity difference between 1.06J and 1.09J; however, it should not really be noticeable. Are the barrels the same length or is one significantly longer than the other? The 0.24J power change is pretty hard to explain unless you have gone from a short, wide bore barrel to a long, tighter bore barrel. A weaker spring and a tighter barrel is usually better as it puts less stress on the gearbox, unless the combination of a weak spring and a fast motor/gear set leads to overspin, which can be cured with an AB mosfet anyway.
  13. One of his other adverts: https://www.airsoft-hub.com/item/16125 He will pay postage! How fucking generous.
  14. Several year ago, I was at a very badly run "milsim" where a player launched a TAG that hit an opposing player; the confrontation afterwards was interesting. The whole event was an utter shit show and lots of us left early.
  15. You are right; it is! A thousand apologies.
  16. The tumbleweed rolling through this thread answers my question. The lad asked the same question in local airsoft groups and got the same response. I guess it is a local site, for local people.
  17. Because we aren't as fat as Americans.
  18. That is expensive rice!
