    DCA apfg mcx spear lt = £625 (out of stock but UK retailer so VAT included where as oversee import may or may not catch the eye of the tax man)

    High pressure Airsoft vfc M4 gen 3 gbb mags = £174 (3*58) 

     

    Total = £799

     

    Typical 70% of new rule = £599.3

     

     

    At 725 you're basically get 1 mag for free from retail price, might only have had 300-400 rounds through but 2nd hand is 2nd hand, right? No retailer warranty etc etc.

     

    Just amended price down slightly.

     

    I don't always subscribe to the 70% rule, some items are more desirable/harder to obtain in the UK than others, plus. Surely condition has to play apart in it? So I've tried to price accordingly.

     

    I've amended the price down slightly, so it's about a saving of about £60-70 on new when you factor in postage.

     

    I'm not desperate to sell and as the seller, selling less than this I'd rather just keep it in all honesty.

     

    Edit- just *sold*

    Is there any damage to the front of the nozzle? Sometimes the square bit at the front of the bolt bends upwards which causes jams.

     

    You can gently heat it and bend it back down if this has happened.

    Had this happen to me, fix is as mentioned but if it still does it with no mag then I'd assume it's a different problem?

    Wouldn't you want more recoil rather than less. I know I would if I was getting anything gas blowback.

     

    I get it, it's the point of gas to. But also it's cool to have it realistic.

     

    Ideally you want someone as close to the real gun in terms of function and recoil (at least that's what I want?)

    They all seem out of stock. Basically they were available from a few importers but then one distributor managed to get a batch very very cheap ( which is why the retail price suddenly dropped) and now none of the original importers will touch them as there is no margin left and the importer that got a batch cheap don't have any left.

    I picked up a couple with the intention to do some project guns but if I decide against it I'll put them in the classifieds here still new in box

    Thanks! Yes let me know if you decide to sell on! I did end up purchasing one from high pressure Airsoft who seemed to get some in stock, but it's gen 1, with like a solid mag, a tan A2 grip and some odd looking stock 😓 so I'm going to be sending it back for a refund and wait out for a gen 2

    Looks like I might as well go with Defcon Airsoft at £60 each then.   But as I didn't sort out my gun at site yesterday, I'm still not fully committed...
    I suspect I'll wait a bit to see if Patrolbase re-stock at £50.

    What was up with it at site?

    There's a Japanese video floating around youtube showing the new IC

    Just seen that, normal A5 one seems to be 'version 2.0 and new one is version 2.0AT'

     

    Just bought a mp5a5 so abit gutted about that 😅😂

    looks good. I think the only difference between the new and old MP5 is an upgraded chip on the ECU.

    What makes you think this?

     

    Also is there any common problems with the mp5 platform that we know about?

    My 2 mags is a long way from 5... I sense I may have some frustration with that on the day. Oh well, I'll have to keep telling myself it's an experiment at the moment.


    WGC Shop have them in stock, has anyone had recent experience with them?

    https://www.wgcshop.com/products/umarex-vfc-30rds-gas-magazine-for-hk416-ccwar-gbb-series

    £48 a mag, on par with Patrolbase (who have none left).  It looks to be about £30 for the cheapest shipping, but I think that's by sailing dinghy, might take a good long while to turn up!

    Edit2: Powair6 have the lighter (in colour and weight) mags in stock.. with the shipping coming from France, and cheaper per-mag prices (I think because these ones don't have the H&K trades on them), it works out at £105 for two, shipped.

    Are Powair6 ok?

    You'll have to add tax of 20% and customs of 2.5% on them, that's the overall total to with shipping on, just so you are aware 👍

    TM AKM is brilliant and I prefer it to my MWS as it's far easier to maintain, can be used in basically any loadout kit and everyone has an m4 / 416 / AR-adjacent rifle so it's a bit different (though a lot of people do like their AKs too, so it's not exactly a unique piece), however getting magazines for it has been and still is a challenge. For mine the only thing I want to get for it is a wood kit, but the faux wood looks pretty gorgeous too.

     

    However, it's another gas gun, so you'd have issues if the weather gets too cold. Don't have any experience with the other guns listed, so I'll defer to others on those.

    How do you find the recoil and range compared to the mws?

    I tested with both mags (one with an oring and one without). I can get to 20g of gas for the mag with the oring, but the stock mag seems to max out at 8-9g before gas spews....

    Not sure if this has been asked but what version mags are they? I've heard V3 can be more of a pain to fill, but mine are okay I find

    Absolutely, especially the way airsoft prices in general have shot up in the last 6/12 months. Some things are absolutely ridiculous now. 

     

    Getting back on topic though, @cart3rlfc what GBB are you currently running and what backup are you considering?

    Thanks for all the brilliant replies! Definitely an insight to what people run with gbbr as backups, as I wasn't even sure if people took backups!

     

    I currently have a tm Mws and mp7 gbb, which I guess is a back up, but I guess it's a sorry excuse to buy more 😂 

     

    But I was thinking maybe a tm aug or scorpion Evo or krytac, something small enough to not be a hindrance, but big enough to cope with woodland and cqb, and something that doesn't matter if it's cold etc.

     

    Then I also have in the back of my head TM akm 😂👍

     

    What do you think of the above options?
