Is he paying VAT on that? "There's a WE Glock in the sale but I couldn't be arsed to point out which model but Glocks are all the same right? They still sling plastic balls."

Unless you're willing to sit on this whole bundle for months if not years for a sale, you're definitely dreaming if you think someone newly UKARA-registered will want to drop £3,500 on everything in this listing. What are the chances that anyone would want even 80% of everything listed without wanting to resell the remainder? Surely breaking this listing down into smaller gun + case/bag + mag pouch + battery, eye/facepro, tactical, grenade and accessory bundles will see it sell more quickly? I get the seller has sunk a massive cost into something he hasn't got much time on the field for but bloody hell, I don't think dropping the inflexible atttiude and the expectation of timewasters would hurt.

After the OP first downgrades the spring then does a chrono re-test to confirm the gun is shooting within site limits.

Two-tone being sold at more than 80% of retail. Is this so highly sought after, even in two-tone, that its resale value percentage is above that of your typical RIF?

Welcome onboard!

I'd honestly say a bloody nose from the ridicule and strong responses is a small price to pay compared to setting up a business without a scooby of running one or of airsoft and running it into the ground with you eating extra value baked beans for the next 6 years. You really should heed the advice to learn to walk before you can run. Getting airsoft guns isn't that difficult so when you're setting up a business using them, they should be much lower on your list of worries. Without checking your particulars are in order first as Dan R said, it's utterly pointless in thinking of what guns to buy to rent out for a business. As others have said, you really should get out there and find if airsoft is for you or not. You've asked for experienced players' advice and you've been given it. Safety risks aside of playing in your house or garden, that isn't going to prepare you for playing at a site any more than Doom, GoldenEye 007 or Half Life prepared me for when I first played airsoft many years ago. Like EDcase pointed out, this hobby has a lot of naysayers and opponents. The UKARA defence to buy RIFs is a compromise the government made to allow realistic play in the hobby since it is good exercise and dare I say it, a good boost to a lot of people's wellbeing. The harshness of many of the responses you've received is out of them caring more for protecting the hobby than protecting your feelings. Hell, a new site I played had some objections from local residents complaining about potential noise from the site with imitation firearms playing, showing their complete ignorance that it's most unlikely that they'd hear much from 5 miles away. Someone with little appreciation for safety and possibly legal implications of playing with airsoft guns in their house or garden doesn't sound like someone fit to operate a site safely. I don't think Rogerborg could have put it better. Getting out on and gaining practical experience with airsoft is invaluable but setting up your own business is something you should put on the back burner for years until you can sort things out operationally first.

Yikes. I would usually say it's sad to hear of a site closing down but when you charge an uncompetitive rate for just an hour's play and you exclude your biggest airsoft player base i.e. those with their own kit, you're lining yourself up for failure. If (non-volunteers) people charged with looking after the players' safety and upholding the reputation of airsoft aren't being paid their due, you don't deserve to be in the business.

It also raises the questions of whether this gun had its spring uprated after a legitimate chrono test without a retest, if it was chrono-tested with a false declaration of the BBs weight, if the tester made a mistake on setting the weight or if something else dodgy happened.

Now we know this is on 0.25g BBs, the latter isn't true. No self-respecting site would allow this to be used as it's not only above any site's limits, its >1.3J output makes it a section 5 firearm. An airsoft site's insurance would be invalid if any players were injured with this gun on their watch. Until you downrate the spring so this fires between ~0.9J and <1.13J so it remains competitive, legal and within site rules (some specify <1.0J), your AEG could be worth 5 years at His Majesty's pleasure.

If we needed another reason why stating joules rather than fps is important, his admission that the 335fps is on 0.25g BBs puts it at above 1.3J so he's selling an airsoft gun that could land him and/or the buyer in serious trouble.

From a WhatsApp used airsoft gear group. He paid £530 but didn't consider rentals or buying something cheap to invest in getting UKARA so he could avoid two-tone? He'll be disappointed with his offers but as I assume he isn't a UKARA member, is he not stitching himself up by offering to respray a two-tone unless he still uses a bright colour?

https://www.airsoft-hub.com/item/28546-beautiful-airsofts-collections Makes a waffly post but provides no photos of the Mk 23 or the Gate Titan he mentions for sale. Instead the picture features an AW Hi-Capa.

https://www.usedairsoft.co.uk/two-tone-replicas/cyma-cm-706-sniper-rifle_i57448 70% of retail for a two-tone. That's optimistic. ____________________________________________________________ https://www.usedairsoft.co.uk/two-tone-replicas/electric-powered_1/sa-c22_i57484 It looks like our old friend still hasn't heeded advice that he is is mislabelling his gun as something by Specna Arms despite numerous people pointing out with evidence that it is almost certainly a Cyma product. He's jacked up the price too above retail. I hate to cast aspersions but how can one lack a basic understanding of supply and demand economics?

Adding to what Colin said, around the 70% mark is the standard for a RIF in good condition. You may not have fired them personally but they were both test fired to give those speed/energy readouts so their cherries have already been popped. As they were both tested at least 3 years ago, it would be worth test firing both of them again just to make sure BBs feed properly and that the gearboxes cycle for both yours and the buyer's peace of mind.

I was premature clicking the submit button 😅

https://www.airsoft-hub.com/item/28438-bulldog-m4pg-ris-airsoft-gun-u I assume this was a JBBG "special" that the OP paid for. https://www.justbbguns.co.uk/bulldog-m4pg-ris-airsoft-gun/ When I could buy the same bundle (non-two tone), brand new for less money, why would I pay for this? Make it make sense please.

If your gears don't move due to jamming, I would also try isolating the cause of your gears not moving (remove the spring first) Does your spur gear spin freely with the sector gear moving with the teeth on the piston? If not, you should look at whether you've installed them correctly. If they interlink OK, see if the bevel gear causes a jam there. As Dan said, your anti-reversal latch and/or its spring may have been installed improperly.

Another great day at RIFT Airsoft's "the Battery" CQB site not far from Stansted Airport. Echoing much of what @Jacob Wright said on the previous page, the session had the expectedly good organisation from the staff. Since the first weekend, they were true to their word about listening to feedback about what worked and didn't work as the site had been updated to balance the games as the initial layout of defences, walkways and barricades did create an imbalance. Now it's much more balanced. It started with a full house of 70 players, split evenly into 2 teams - later in the day, a few players left ahead of the scheduled end of game play but the teams were rebalanced. As he mentioned, pre-emptive and suppressive firing aren't allowed so players wouldn't be discouraged from pushing forward. Doors were opened up by marshals during the day to mix things up and present more avenues of attack and defence. Similarly, lighting can be turned off in alternating or all rooms to change the style of play further so having a gun/body-mounted torch is recommended. The timing and variety with the missions was good as there was enough to be engaged without anything feeling repetitive. The host was clear in pointing out not to argue with opposing players if they didn't call their hits, just report it to a marshal and they'll judge accordingly. It made for a lot less bickering and actually some fairer play as I recall one marshal disagreeing with a shooter's claim he hit the opponent but the marshal had a clear view of this not being the case - the same marshal instructed another player later in the day to call a hit, giving him the benefit of the doubt that he may not have felt it on his plate carrier but the marshal saw the hit on him. There was a raffle with 2 prizes available. 1st prize was a Lancer Tactical (LT-35 if memory serves but it was definitely an ARP9 style AEG) and 2nd was a Raven EU18 GBB pistol. It's a shame that it will be gone in about a year's time but I'm glad I had the chance to play a few times there. I heard a few players had travelled at least 3 hours to play and the Battery lived up (or surpassed) their expectations.

https://www.usedairsoft.co.uk/rif-s/cyma-cm-515-m4a1-aeg_i57191 Sorry but regardless of having an extra mag, a battery and a speedloader won't make this two-tone worth £10 more than a brand new black version https://bbguns4less.co.uk/products/cyma-cm515-m4-keymod-handguard-in-black.html

Thankfully, the fake Go Fund Me page has gone. I guess they were satisfied with the report and Ollie himself confirming it was a fraud.

https://www.airsoft-hub.com/item/28285-jing-gong-m5-a4-jg070mg Even if it has parcel protection and a few handy accessories, that's very ambitious pricing for a two-tone, especially when no context is given for an apparent resale of a new gun.
