  1. A lot of sites do them of varying frequency. Driver Wood does a boot sale every 4th Sunday of the month Skirmish Airsoft Billericay partnered with Essex Airsoft Boot Sale for today's event. The latter had its own in Colchester back in February. RIFT Airsoft's annual "Shift Your RIFTs" has a weekend-long boot sale along with a few retailers under gazebos in addition to the skirmish events Red Alert has a boot sale every month or so The Midlands Airsoft Fair is set to return to Newark Showground in June. Last year it had both boot sellers and retailers, the latter of which had a few freebies such as morale patches, small carabiners, etc.
  2. Oh yeah, don't get me wrong. The gun owner had some responsibility for not having some basic knowledge of absolute no-nos but the site owner/manager is more responsible for the reasons you started. He eventually did accept responsibility by settling the cost of repairs. I think he was as casual and non-chalant about it because he admitted to doing it before and having no complaints. The fact that he didn't think to check if there was a quick-change spring bothers me the most.
  3. "But I paid more than that when I bought it! Its two-tone is only 30% scuffed and I've only dropped the mag 6 times!"
  4. A (repro) Vortex Micro 3x scope, purchased today at the Essex Airsoft Boot Sale.
  5. On playing at Precinct 13, I've been of two minds of playing there. It's nothing to do with the "Drillgate" incident, I've seen a load of YouTube videos with a lack of tactical skill or planning being "made up for" by trigger spamming that may as well be full auto as well as pre-emptive firing. That's not for me.
  6. Unfortunately, he is to blame as well for going ahead with it and not knowing his own hardware. The owner had allegedly sunk a grand into his gun and tech work without learning so much as it having a QCS. The hole was drilled into the nozzle and it brought the gun down within the limit but the owner found that not only did his gun not fire inaccurately, swarf from driling the nozzle got into the gearbox so you can imagine the number that did. FAO's manager tried to downplay it saying he explained the purpose of drilling the hole and that the owner consented to it. He did compensate the owner for the cost of repairing his P90. No, I'm not that owner. I did all my own tech work on mine without a drill. 🤣
  7. Thankfully not. 😅 A player's gun was too hot for the chrono test so the site manager offered an unorthodox "solution" by drilling the nozzle of the said player's gun so it would fall within the joule limits. It could all have been solved with a quick-change spring swap out.
  8. As BigStew implied, gas consumption is a big variable with GBBRs compared to battery consumption in AEGs. Ambient temperatures will also affect how much gas you'll use, not just the individual GBBR you use and how trigger-happy you are with it.
  9. Well... shit. How many Vorsk and Raven Hi-Capas, Glocks and 1911s will we see flooding the classifieds and the other sites? 😅
  10. I actually prefer cold/mild temperatures in Autumn and Winter as long as it's not raining heavily. It's much more comfortable for me than in the baking heat of late Spring and Summer.
  11. That's a lot more honesty than one person we spotted recently on a couple of other airsoft classifieds who had been trying to deceive potential buyers into paying a lot more than his gear was actually worth. He became rather upset when some of us asked him for more info. Maybe he can take a leaf out of your book?
  12. You don't have to dictate Milton or Tolstoy but you could give us a bit more rope to help you. What's not working? A VPN, resetting your router or both? Is there a change in your IP address? There are 4 octets in the number punctuated by a decimal. Your broadband/WAN IP address is the one you need to pay attention to. If that stays the same with a router soft reset (turn it off and on), you may have a static IP or if only the last octet changes, you may have a limited dynamic address that an IP block could be set to cover. It may be worth trying a few free VPN apps on your phone. Not all VPNs work the same way as some may still show the same IP address even if they mask your physical location.
  13. You've got to love these expensive toys that function as normal but struggle to shoot consistently. The issue is so easy to repair that the seller hasn't done it himself to improve the resale value on his two-tone GBBR. https://www.airsoft-hub.com/item/37769-tokyo-marui-mk18-mod1-gbbr He also pulls the "hard to get" card but I find it this particular example of the Mk18 hard to want without full transparency on the problems with it.
