I can't say for certain on AEGs but with GBBRs when you attach other handguards, you sometimes need a barrel nut spacer so it fits securely. Is that what you're talking about?

Welcome!

When a seller doesn't list the brands of the accessories or the size of the shirt & boots, it's a challenge to take the listing seriously as most of it could have been cheap Ali Express job. Not specifying the brand and model of "goggles" is a huge red flag that starters may not even be aware of. I hope so. It was removed once before when I saw it didn't meet Rule 5.

Would real ammo tins be suitable? You can get them off Ebay and from military surplus stores.

^ I'm more incredulous about this claim. Why would you drop that kind of money on a Vorsk Hi-Capa when you buy something like an SSP5 or a TM Hi-Capa that's better out of the box and the latter has more upgrade options? Does he think the tracer, etxtended mags and HPA adapter count as upgrades?

As others have said, I don't think we'll see an increase mainly because the Firearms Act would have to be revised and I'd imagine it would affect more than just airsoft. Even if that happened, you'd expect liability insurance premiums to rise so that increases the cost on sites and running costs are why so many have shut down. I personally wouldn't change a great deal with joule limits because MEDs are not observed by too many people on DMRs or bolties. If the legal and insurance constraints were raised, I'd only be amenable to changes if people could be trusted to respect MEDs and if dedicated marksmen would keep only one round in the air at a time.

Blackstone CQB started running such games. I especially appreciated the fact that they forced a certain "spirit of the game" by banning HPA-adapted weapons for the pistol & shotgun games so nobody could rock up with an Hi-Capa with an M4 mag.

Alternatively, you can buy it from a retailer and get some peace of mind with a warranty while paying £100 less for the privilege https://www.defconairsoft.co.uk/product/tokyo-marui-biohazard-albert-w-model-01p/

I don't imagine imagine there is much of a business case for repro PEQ/NGAL/MAWL/etc repairs, especially in the UK, because it won't be worth it for the customer. Outside of the wiring, spare components such as laser emitters won't have economies of scale that there would be much profit margin unless a repair business bought hundreds if not thousands. I side with Lyndication. Once you factor in parts & labour costs along with shipping, especially with something less expensive like a PEQ, buying a replacement is more viable than a repair from a customer's perspective.

Many thanks for sharing this. The quick-release sling and strap look very promising. Is the barrel bag the same thing as the barrel sock you put over the muzzle before you enter the same zone?

I can't add anything much different. I've bought from one from JK Army and I gave my UKARA number and it came though customs without any hassle.

It's idealistic nonsense along with "If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear." Nobody should be so naive to think everybody has good intentions toward them.

https://www.usedairsoft.co.uk/rif-s/electric-powered/m4-airsoft-gun_i87023 I have to say this one. I'm sure the seller has been intentionally evasive about the brand & model to hide how low value all of the guns are. My money is on this being something like the Cyma CM.057 as all the other guns are lower-cost product. I doubt the gun is even worth £60, especially being a two-tone. EDIT: Punisher has the same suspicion I have on which gun it is.

For what it's worth, I've had great experiences with Fire Support, especially with them stocking obscure parts that allowed me to keep some of my much older RIFs relevant today.

Whether it would be OK is a huge unknown. Some retailers swap out springs (and leave the original in the box) to keep them well below site and legal limits. With those that don't, the +10% variance out of the box puts you far too close for comfort in terms of failing a chrono test. The Krytac P90 has a quick-change spring so you can drop in a lower power spring easily. You won't need to remove the gearbox from the gun, let alone open its casing up. Just bear in mind that M*** springs are not completely standardised so you will see variance in muzzle energy between the M100 springs from different manufacturers. On top of that, the compression and air seal within the cylinder will have a big effect so working out the right spring isn't an exact science. M100, M95 or M90 springs may be suitable. Whichever spring you use, I would leave in some head room to account for very small differences between chrono test readings - it's all too easy to chase a limit then find yourself over it when you come to the chrono ahead of a game. The Krytac model is largely proprietary so if something mechanical or electrical goes wrong, you'll either be locked into Krytac's ecosystem with spare parts or you'll need some expensive tech work to get it back up and running. I would also suggest saving up for a chrono for peace of mind so you can go to a game with something you have a good idea will pass.

Adding to the previous replies, while you can sell bulk packages, you should anticipate lowball offers. I'm not saying it's right, nor am I advocating it. The reality is that the more items there are in a bundle, the less likely people are to want all of them items and pay the standard rate minus depreciation so they'll offer you less with the intention of flipping the unwanted items.

Quite ironic that the seller wants to show "complete transparency" but doesn't think to be transparent in the images. "Mmm... images are the first thing that people's attention is drawn to. Let's waste a potential buyer's time by not getting off my arse and making the images represent what they're buying. No more, no less."

https://prefired.co.uk/ads/huge-starter-bundle-deal/ £900 for a starter bundle deal? Who's going to spend nearly a grand on kit they didn't hand-pick themselves just to get started playing?

What Lozart said. I use green gas in my Gold Match and have had no issues with slide wear or damage when I've put a few dozen mags' worth of rounds through it.

https://highpressureairsoft.co.uk/products/5ku-tokyo-marui-hi-capa-51-gbb-outer-barrel-aluminium-blue It's out of stock from HPA UK but this is the outer barrel I use on mine so I can use a tracer if I wish. The gold isn't a perfect match but I resprayed it to suit.

Similar for me. I loaned a friend (not a regular airsofter) a really cheap but skirmishable M4 I had set aside specifically for that purpose. I put on a dot sight for him but he lost a lens cap without saying anything and when I asked, he acted like he didn't know what I was talking about and didn't do so much as offer to pay for a replacement. He later wanted to borrow one of my more favoured Hi Capas but I refused. I don't think he's worked out why. The only chance I would loan any of my guns to randoms is that they pay a deposit for the value of the gun and its accessories so they have that financial incentive to treat it with some semblance of respect. Even then, I'd only loan anything that's not a daily driver or especially favoured by me.

It looks promising. If it were GBBR and MWS compatible, I'd tell them to just shut up and take my money.

That's not entirely true. Not all TM Hi Capas have threaded outer barrels with the Gold Match being one of them unless that has revised in the past 18 months. I swapped mine out for a metal threaded (internal) so it maintains the aesthetic.

You can get the Holy Warrior version of that LPVO for £250. What's so special about his repro that it's worth the same amount yet he's presumably not paying VAT?
