Relatable... except for the the first 4 lines.

I sometimes lowball an add if it's something I'd like, sometimes it begins a haggle... sometimes it doesn't,

You could argue that it's worth what someone's willing to pay for it, if the sellers asking too much then it's a waiting game until some one sees the add and decides they can't life without it.

I prob paid over the odds for this unicorn but it was on my bucket list & I regret nothing... p.s. assume I'm left handed & not that I turned the hook the wrong way.

That mask will be in contact with your skin a lot & so will the goggles. I'd look for a lightweight helmet that has a face shield or fitted mask. At the very least & recommend suitable glasses.

Why have you taped it up?

Mine is a cardboard box with an NBC suit inside, yet to have any penetrate through it.

I felt the same about the sterling so got a prop version as it would likely be a wall hanger anyway. The main focus for my collection was British, then the L85 bug hit so now have 6 which took a 'step to the right' to other bullpups and spiralled out of control to the point I now display mine as... snipers, vintage, SMG's, bullpups, PDW's (with a pulse rifle(why not)), G3's & G36's, AR15 variants, battle rifles & AK's with bits n bobs added for fun. Got a couple of LSW's and UGL's. not a big fan of side arms but even they seem to be multiplying. Basically I collect what takes my fancy.

very nice, what's next?

exactly

I can almost understand a novice selling it like that if they don't have the skills to build it but a 'professional'?

it's the cats fault, your P226 has allergies.

Yup, ever since the wall came down.

Just had these delivered from WuggyNuggy... Don't have my L85A2 as it's still with our local tech so I thought I'd show Dan Robinson what the elcan might look like in situ.

Eh? Mine wouldn't release the mags properly & I considered filing down thw mag catch but 'customised' a mag instead so it would release without a faff.

10mins 50sec in

Now that's a concern.

Can't you delete some stuff?

just noticed that sry

How did the 'date' go?

Got my VMP1 from the classifieds on here & the MP7's online happy with them all except the AEG MP7, it couldn't blow the candles out on a birthday cake. 4 in the pic are from the classifieds on here.

That's the 'oh, f&%k' spring... buy a new gearbox.

I've always been a fat lad but got fitter during my pre basic, failed a few BFT's before my trip to Woolwich, scraped through each time after that tho. My first night was at Drip camp near Stirling (now a Dobbies), first morning there was a trail of shit from one hut to the bogs... the dude didn't make it. The whole camp stank of shit & relgex in equal measure.

It was quite an experience but I'm sure basic training is an experience where ever you're posted. Most memorable parts wasn't the assault course or the field ex... most memorable for me was doing my BFT on the Saturday in boots then again on the Sunday in trainers coz the 'rules' changed at midnight on the Sat. & Being banned from central London on our day off coz of the Council Tax Demo/riot.
