Oddly enough, it's back to normal for me now.

I don't suppose you tried WGC Shop or SIXmm?

SOCOM Tactical has the Tak Tak clones of the CTR stock.

https://www.airsoft-hub.com/item/39939-airsoft-bundle Seller wants £3,500 for a job lot but provides only a single picture and a handful of details.

https://www.usedairsoft.co.uk/rif-s/polarstar-powered_1/m4-hpa-tippman-and-a-double-bell-daracys-dragon_i83182 Seller has a Dracarys but it's in parts and he just posts a a retail listing from his phone instead of a photo of the parts he's selling. Does he not think reassembling the gun gives him a better chance of selling or trading it?

"for filming purpose in UK" Are you a part of a UK TV/film production company?

Necro post but this has come back to me in Firefox.

https://www.airsoft-hub.com/item/39880-nupal-pioneer Not a Nuprol, not a Nurpol but a Nupal. The seller wants £120 for a used two-tone where you can buy the arguably more desirable RIF for the same money, possibly less. Also a classic bait-and-switch with the seller posting photos of the gun kitted up with a foregrip and holo sight only to disclose in the description that they're extra.

I was gentle on him as he was less than forthcoming initially about the engravings and damage he'd mentioned. It was a single image at first that showed neither.

Same guy but he not only originally tried flogging it for £500, he misidentified it as Ares originally as well. He claimed to have video proof of it working in the past.

A "fully upgraded" DE Honey Badger that was marked down from £500 to £300 is now boneyard at £120 with a reported electrical fault. https://prefired.co.uk/ads/broken-upgraded-honey-badger/ If you spend just £40 more, you can get a brand new working original with none of the internals being tinkered around with and without that horrible paintjob. https://shop.super5ives.com/shop/item/133397/double-eagle-m904g.html

For the sake of clarity, can you confirm which gun you are talking about? Are you talking about the TM 416 DEVGRU NGRS or another RIF that has DEVGRU in its name? One troubleshooting tip is checking the compression in your cylinder - if you put your thumb over the nozzle while pressing the piston into the cylinder, a sign of good compression is that you will eventually get resistance against pushing the piston. If you get no resistance and you piston goes all the way down despite your thumb being in place over the nozzle, you've likely got a compromised seal, which would explain why your muzzle energy is much lower than expected with an M100 spring. Your piston head and/or its O-rings may be the culprit is your compression is poor.

Fire Support, unless they've seen sense over the past year.

What feature do you think your current one is lacking that you need to upgrade it?

Jesus wept. RIFT Airsoft sold its working ex-rental guns for ~£60 at the end of May. The ones with faults went for £20 less or so. If memory serves, there were some basic Specna Arms M4s and G&G Raiders.

Taking it personally is a good way to lose perspective. I too have found some bargains there but it would be negligent to deny that there are lots of rip-off merchants, try-hards and people clueless to economics of selling airsoft on that site. Yeah, that's probably true. He didn't name any of the brands so that's probably to prevent you from working out what the kit is actually worth. He hasn't even bothered listing the sizing of the shirt & trousers.

I'm curious how he managed to spend £480 on the rest of kit other than being taken for a ride.

https://prefired.co.uk/ads/bulldog-airsoft/ No rear sight, probably in need of a service on its gearbox. Seller wants more than retail prices for the gun. https://www.justbbguns.co.uk/bulldog-m4pi-ris-cqb-airsoft-gun/

Welcome to the money pit of fun!

It's not for me personally. My eye has a tendency to twitch when people say the paint job is "easy to remove". Surely returning a gun as close to its stock condition as possible makes it more resellable?

I can't help with your question though it may be worth looking at the JG variant too.

I didn't imply. You perceived. The two aren't the same.

https://www.usedairsoft.co.uk/two-tone-replicas/gas-powered_2/vorsk-vpx-two-tone-no-mag_i82240 The seller wants 60% of retail for a two-tone. Fair enough... until you find it doesn't come with its mag and that its magwell retaining pin has been replaced with a different pin. I always wanted an uncompetitively priced two-tone where it's unclear if the "different pin" is a like for like replacement or if it's a bit of a bodge job as the image is less than detailed.

I'm aware of the Patrol Base listing, thanks. I'd seen the chain since it was on Whatsapp, let alone get on to Used Airsoft. It may be technically retail because it's got a separate warranty but it's still going to be viewed as a third-party custom job (albeit produced on a small scale) because an OEM supplied an AEG, many of whose parts were replaced with upgrades. People aren't going to care about the technicality of it being a retail job, they're going to care about the G&G SR-15 base and its upgrades and how much they cost against the buyer's asking price.
