  1. I should have specified, an airsoft forum patch.
  2. How do you know its a scammer? If it is then he needs the shit kicking out of him but if its genuine, and we tar and feather it, we could be doing him out of some much needed funds.
  3. Are you waiting for an Airsoft Forum patch? Vote in the poll so we can see how many people are waiting then add a comment on how long you've been waiting.
  4. There is no reason not to buy yourself an MP5!
  5. On the listing it's proudly promoted as being a small/medium business based in the UK. It clearly says "Made in Taiwan" on the case and the .co.uk website on the lable is dead. Probably someone just dropshipping and using the manufacturer's sales materials.
  6. yes but no but yes but no! It's the actual name of the product, https://www.amazon.co.uk/Airsoft-Valve-Key-Universal-Radiator/dp/B09FJHQ6P3/ref=sr_1_3?crid=O9LHV4213TGI&keywords=dropee&qid=1706461905&sprefix=dropee%2Caps%2C88&sr=8-3
  7. I've been very bored today, so have been playing around with some free video editing software.
  8. Conserve ammo? Are you crazy? That's not a tip, that's a bad idea!
  9. Good questions. It's a stock WE F226. I've no idea how it hops yet as my living room is only about 5 metres wide! Lol
  10. Sounds like the adapter is the issue to me, like its shorting out.
  11. Yes, exactly. It just doesn't make sense! They are pricing themselves out of their own website!
  12. or just click the link I added.
  13. The link is broken. Edit: heres the proper link https://www.pewhub.co.uk/product/raffle-for-ollie/836?cs=true&cst=custom
  14. Yes, postage may not be "free" but its still £4 cheaper than buying direct! because it's my damn right to moan! I'm British!
  15. It's a feeding lip for one of my P226 mags. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/134804360008 £6.99 free postage. Seller is trading as Bravo Three but is Bullseye Country Sport. https://www.bullseyecountrysport.co.uk/kj-works-airsoft-magazine-feeding-lip-for-p226-kp-01--02-11111-p.asp £3.99 plus £6.99 postage.
  16. I'm not sure but its the same retailer so i would presume its the same service.
  17. I know that it's expensive but they can sell the part on eBay, with the associated charges/fees, using the same postage service for cheaper than selling it themselves! If nothing else it's just a lazy way to do business, having a flat postage fee, for everything! It's just happened again too. I dropped one of my mags and broke the feeding lip. It is cheaper to buy the part for £7 with free postage, off eBay, than it is to buy it for £4 with £7 postage from their own website.
  18. I know they'll blame the Post Office but retailers really are ripping us off on postage! £7 postage on a £4 part! And they wonder why we go straight to eBay!

      I have some sympathy. @ak2m4 was saying that anything not sent recorded delivery risks having buyers claiming that it never arrived, right down to £4 parts.

       

      Sure, the same applies to eBay vendors, and it's even easier to claim, but they tend to be set to shift enough volume to cover those losses.

       

      tl;dr version - people are awful, we shouldn't ought to be allowed.

  19. I do follow him but, probably as a newbie, I've not seen that one. Was it a specific video or just mentioned on a normal one?
  20. The gas arrived, for my now beloved P226, this morning. So I'm sat, still in my PJs, gassing up and loading BBs to shoot them across my living room. Out of the 3, supposedly leak free, mags that I've got 2 leaked! Badly leaked! I've stripped them down as far as I can, I now have a valve tool winging it's way to me, and oiled vales and o rings. Incidentally, the only oil I have is Wahl hair clipper oil. It seems to be ok but time will tell! One of the leaky bastards now seems fine. It was leaking from the exhaust port, so a liberal drop of oil and a poke with a wooden coffee stirrer to get it moving and it now seems to be holding gas, again time will tell. Or I'll drop them in the sink and look for bubbles! Now, to get to my rant. The 3rd leaky McSqueeky needs a new base O ring. After a bit of interneting I came across a kit, specifically for P226s. It's British made from a company in Stoke on Trent. (I was in SoT on Monday, you might have read my other rant about shops in the area! lol) "Brilliant" thought I, "I'll buy it direct from them to maximise their profits" 10 bleeding pounds and 50 pence standard delivery!!!!!!!! The kit is only £14!!!! Or, I get it off eBay, with free delivery for £17.10 Or, I get it off Amazon, with free delivery for £16.99!!!! I know we're only talking a few quid but really! I will try to support British manufacturing and commerce whenever I can that just feels like a piss take! Now the obvious choice here is, if they have a trade counter, to drive there and buy it for the advertised £13.80 but I'll be damned if I'm ever going to Stoke on Trent again! We'll, the theatre there is quite nice but that's it! Drove away on Monday with a very sour taste in my mouth. Thanks for listening/reading, rant over. Stoke on Trent, sort your shit out! There!
  21. According to the interwebs it was designed between 1980-1983 and produced from 1984 so i can just sneak it into my, casual, 80s SAS load out. 😁
  22. Just watched this and shed a tear. Bloody heart breaking.
