  1. First visit to Proving Grounds this weekend!

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

  3. Off to the Northern Shooting Show today!

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

      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.

      *just used

  5. 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.

      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!

  6. Gorka and Digi-Flora arrived!

  7. 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

      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.

  8. 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!

      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.

  9. 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

      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.

       

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

  11. Anyone off to Farmistan this Sunday?

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

      Shame you missed their free shipping. I made about 8 orders over Christmas for tiny accessories :)

    4. Hudson

      Hudson

      It was about £32, plus shipping.

  14. £450 for an ICS 551? Seriously...?

      Months ago, yeah.

    3. Hudson

      Hudson

      Does it matter how long ago it was? It was still a ridiculous price to start with...

    4. Esoterick

      Esoterick

      That sort of pricing always makes me dubious if the seller will check for a defence.

  15. Sabaton & Alestorm, followed by Gunamn Airsoft in just over 2 weeks! :D

  16. Well the VZ58 finally got it's first actual game out yesterday; more than 6 months after I bought it! Not too bad, but it definitely needed a new bucking.

      I'm dubious enough as it is of Ares internals without putting an 11.1v in them! ;)

    3. sp00n

      sp00n

      Lmao :D :D :D

       

      good point, think if mine ever dose give up i am going to P* jack it

      If I can motivate my fat lazy arse, I want to do a disassembly video for the 58.

      Do you know if any exist already, so I have an excuse not to do it? :P

  17. R.I.P. Lemmy.

    1. Infanteer

      Infanteer

      RIP, he was amazing.

  18. First skirmish in a few months on Sunday; assuming I can actually motivate myself to go this time!

  19. First game in a couple of months, and I can't believe I couldn't remember how to get the battery into my VZ58. Ares! Why you no make more battery space??

    1. TacMaster

      TacMaster

      Step 1: buy a Dremel tool

      Step 2: ?????

      Step 3: Extra battery space!

    2. Hudson

      Hudson

      Nope. There's not enough space to dremel anything out unfortunately, due to the design.

    3. TacMaster

      TacMaster

      Ah, that's a shame

  20. Need specific info from an owner of a TM MK23. Barrel length; is it 131mm, or something else?0
