  1. Are there any spray-paints out there that give a nice Coyote brown type colour? (And are available in the UK)

      Thanks. I *did* find that one earlier today; but it's as much for postage as it is for the damned paint!

       

      I've bought some Plastikote I'm gonna try out in the morning; it might not be 100%, but hopefully closer than the Khaki & Tan paints I've got currently.

  2. Are there any sites around (20/30 minutes) Manchester that are a mix of indoor and outdoor?

  3. I don't suppose anyone has the front end from an AK beta they'd sell, do they?

  4. PC blew up tonight. Boo. :(

      @Lozart - It is if its a noname cheapo brand :P

      I usually find, the cheaper the PSU, the more likely it is to spike and wipe out the HDD too. That's why I have a Corsair HX1050....

      Like Lozart says: If your PSU goes then it usually takes at least the motherboard with it.

       

      Might just be heat though. Clean them fans and radiators yearly, people. And don't use generic case fans (with a few exceptions) unless you like poor air flow.

  5. Just about packed for F&O tomorrow. Bring & buy sale to boot. :D

  6. Urgh. 15 year olds trying to buy my RIFs. >:(

      I kind of feel a bit bad now; the kid got banned from the groups...oh dear how sad, never mind.

      First, be smart from the very beginning. Pulverize all teeth, burn off fingerprints, and disfigure the face. Forcing a DNA test to establish identity (if it ever comes to that) might introduce the legal/forensic hurdle that saves your ass down the line. An unidentifiable body can, in a pinch, be dressed in thrift store clothes and dropped in a bad part of town where the police are less likely to question it. I don't reommend that disposal method, I'm just saying an easily identifiable...

      Bury the body parts at least 2m underground, vertically, with a dead fox or something equivalent at least 2 feet above the body. Satellites use ground penetrating radar to look for 5-6ft horizontal shallow holes in the ground. And the fox is for if a police dog finds the body; investigators will find the animal and assume that's what the dog smelt (dogs are trained to find buried bodies, whatever the species)

  7. We got to play with tanks last night. :D 1:15 for the fun part:

  8. Are replacement parts for the Echo 1 Vintorez available anywhere?

    1. TheFull9

      If you can find out the company who actually made it, probably.

      Well the E1 and AY seem to the be the same model, from what I can tell.

  9. Picked myself up a Vintorez today. :D

  10. I'm looking at giving some .30 ammo a try for general AEG usage; are there any new-ish brands out that are worth a look before I go for some blasters?

  11. First visit to Proving Grounds today. Was okay; but I won't be hurrying back anytime soon.

  12. 4 AKs is enough for Sunday...right? Or should I pack one moire, just in case?

      It was a satirical post fella...

      I've been doing this 19 years; just don't usually take so many of one type is all! ;)

      seen one poor guy go through 3 guns in one day - no I didn't touch them, so 4 might just be ok at a scrape

  13. First visit to Proving Grounds this weekend!

  14. G3 Midcaps; are they still a thing anywhere? All the places I've looked so far have been sold out for donkeys years.

  15. Off to the Northern Shooting Show today!

  16. It's Bring & Buy day at Otley this Sunday. I'd best gathe up some of the AEGs I don't mind selling!

    1. cropzy

      cropzy

      Whereabouts in Otley?

    2. Hudson

      Hudson

      Well it's Khe Sahn; the F&O site there to be specific, but Just to calling it F&O Otley.

       

      They run a bring and buy sale on the first game day of each month during the lunch hour.

  17. Anybody else had problems getting a Pro-Win M4 hop unit to fit? It won't go by about 1 or 2mm; I'm presuming due to the flat shape of the top section, as opposed to the slanted shape of normal hop units, perhaps?

      The army one is compatible.

    3. Max2000

      Max2000

      I think the problem in yours is that your outer barrel "chamber" is too short and that's why the prowin doesn't fit.

      I'll give that a check and see. Cheers!

  18. Gorka and Digi-Flora arrived!

  19. It's always this time of the weekend when I actually start wondering if I can actually be bothered going shooting in the morning or not.

      New site perhaps - either more serious or more of a chilled laid back back style - either or but with decent fair playing players. A site is only as good as the people and Marshals that play/operate it

    3. Hudson

      I've tried all the ones within travelling distance unfortunately.

      I'm just waiting for my main site to re-open now winter's on it's way out.

      Sometimes you just need to take a break so you appreciate it more when you go back to it.

  20. Just to check: Under 18s buying & using pyrotechnics on site. It *is* illegal, right?

      Really? Huh. I would have thought otherwise!

      Ah well, I don't go there, so no great worry to me either way!

       

      Cheers guys.

      when i was under 18, you can get an over 18 to buy the pyro's off site for you and give them to you(like gifting a RIF, no money or services to be exchanged) and use them on, i think its the sale of them which is the issue as its selling pyrotechnics/fireworks to a minor, hence a lot of sites ban under 18's from "buying" pyros but not many specify the age to use!

    4. Sacarathe

      Sacarathe

      Given issues of consent to the health and safety risk posed by pyro, I doubt it's a sales issue. It's much more likely to be an issue where an non-adult cannot waive responsibility for any injury liability from the adults/company responsible.

  21. Non airsoft related; but is anyone familiar with trading/sale/purchase laws with regards to Ebay/distance selling? Got a friend having a bit of trouble with a likely scammer and would like some help. Professional knowledge ideally; no 'a friend told me this' etc. Thanks!

      Aye, that's pretty much what we've been telling them. Advised them to go down to citizens advice anyway, to get a professional opinion.

      Thanks for the help guys.

      Stroppy seller - I'd say forward their details to trading standards but they won't do much on just one notification. But all the same wish they get a visit if selling fake goods at near real prices and buyers getting tucked up after paying good money

    4. GiantKiwi

      Distance Selling Regs have been phased out and replaced with Consumer Contracts Regulations and Consumer Rights Act, but basically a combination of the 2 mean the seller has zero chance of this making it past an initial hearing in court.

       

  22. A Productive evening! AK47s gearbox upgraded and running consistently, and my long-term dead/problematic AKS74 is back up and running! :D

  23. Anyone off to Farmistan this Sunday?

  24. New barrel & bucking installed in the VZ58. See how she runs next Sunday! Also got a disassembly guide for the 58 in progress. :)
