What is absurd about the expense of playing three games as a beginner? Do you mean that you think rental costs are too high? Two months spent waiting to be approved? Are you referring to the requirement to play three games in more than 56 days or did you have to wait that long for your UKARA number to be sent to you? If the former, that is a requirement set by UKARA so that you can show that you are a dedicated player. If the latter, such a wait is very unusual. After the first year, assuming that you keep your UKARA registration at the same site, there is no extra expense involved as you qualify just by playing at the site.

Very true! I have contemplated doing that.

It really isn't a problem for those of us who play at several different sites. The requirement of playing three times in more than 56 days at a single site is not hard to achieve. I play across a core of four sites with more occasional visits to other sites, with my UKARA being anchored at one of the core sites. When it needs renewing I do it through them as they have a record of my attendance over the previous 12 months; provided that their system shows three or more visits, all is good.

Yes, it was a new one on us as well!

You need one of these, if you can find one; they are no longer in production: https://www.airsoftmegastore.com/13073-lct-airsoft-tx-4-side-scope-mount-rail-for-vss-vintorez-as-val-pp-19-LCT-PK-240

It is a PTS grip.

I have seen people sent home for shooting out of bounds after clear warnings about not doing so, deliberately taking out a hot gun, letting off a round in the safe zone (that was an interesting one), smoking weed in the lunch break, and repeated non hit taking despite warnings.

It is in an M4.

I had the same experience this evening; due to the shape of the end of the motor, the grip baseplate needed serious alteration to enable adjustment. Other than that, I am very impressed so far; it runs quietly and seems efficient. I will probably mess around with AB and precocking on the Perun tomorrow night to see if I can break the motor,

I will experiment when I reassemble the gun.

That does seem to be the most likely explanation; however, it does not seem to provide enough force to make a difference.

Both of those make sense; it seems strange as, as far as I know, no other rifles have them.

Having recently acquired a CYMA G36, I am intrigued as to the function of the little latch on top of the hop unit, that is pushed up by the ramp on the stock nozzle. I cannot see what purpose it serves. I am planning to change the stock nozzle for one that actually has an airseal.

That is a long way from Norfolk.

If you want people to help you, it is usually a good idea to be pleasant to them. People tend not to help those who behave like a cunt. Even if you weren't behaving like a cunt, you are pushing it if you expect people who care about airsoft to provide you with a way of getting around the rules that restrict purchase of a RIF.

This! UKARA was created in order to demonstrate that the industry had a means of ensuring that RIFs were only being sold to people who intended to use them for airsoft. It may be imperfect, but it was a key element in ensuring that we would not have to play with brightly coloured IFs. Salty little bugger, aren't you?

Given that the requirement is to "take part in three games at the same UKARA registered game site over a minimum of two months, e.g. the third game being 56 days or more after the first." I am slightly baffled as to how you are unable to play frequently enough.

According to their website, they do not ship to the UK.

The authorities are not going to be interested in a private sale; you can sell everything together or in whatever other way floats your boat.

I sincerely hope that he dies a terrible and lingering death.

One can but hope.

That is probably the truth.

Stercus tauri.

It looks like a 7.62x39 version of the ARX160 would if such a thing did not already exist.

And there was me imagining a spring made of the finest unobtanium.
