  1. I've seen a few US redditors run in to issues with being sent used/damaged items when ordering new stuff, so it's just an evike problem seemingly. At a guess they're probably the biggest airsoft retail company in the world, so presumably a lot of the CS and packaging/warehouse/dispatch staff etc will literally just be minimum wage workers with no interest in or knowledge of airsoft. When you get that big, some orders will go wrong for sure purely based on X% always going wrong combined with the volume of trade; doesn't make it ok but that is the reality.
  2. Anyone highly experienced with KWA Glocks and/or the original PTS FPG want to make a few quid?  Right now I've got a Jacob's cracker selection tub full of parts looking sad and I don't know anyone who can maybe make a working gat lol

  3. I gotta be honest it seems clear enough on the site. When I went I think there was a sign/s up too (maybe?). But no argument if I had the experience Cf had I'd be turned off the place too.
  4. Could step up to the actual HSGI Extended Pistol TACOs, that's the closest thing I know of to a PALS mounted shingle-style pouch for SMG type mags. Any of these BULLE pouches will be sweet, can just tuck the flaps in: https://www.flecktarn.co.uk/mainsearch.php?zoom_query=mp5 Most SMG options are inserts for placards these days though, so consider that type of rig too as an option. Bigger buy I know but can be worth it in the long run.
  5. The Foliage/Desert warriors indeed have a rail on the frame that's a weird size/shape, I don't think there's any real firearm equivalent. Either make sure to buy from a holster brand that works with airsoft and specifically states they do a custom kydex fit to your gun and light when adding to cart, or look at the Blackhawk Omnivores if you've got a light that matches the dimensions of a Streamlight TLR-1 or SureFire X300 (or other holster that is over-sized and grabs the light itself). Or if you're using the pistol outdoors in the day time, just take the screws out and remove the rail from the frame, at which point any normal 1911 holster will work.
  6. In the interest of pure balance I've also been and had no issues, none major enough to not want to return; but that was 1 person on 1 day of course. Their barrel sock rule is obviously out of the norm but the safe zone is quite possibly the nicest overall of any airsoft venue in the UK (not that I've been to every one but it's so far ahead of anything else that it's a tough one to beat). Lots of cool stuff in the game zone too and pretty big.
  7. Any ferrous metal can and will start corroding the moment it gets the chance and any moisture from anywhere can exacerbate that. Almost all airsoft guns use the lowest quality metals the manufacturer can possibly get away with, with very low grade (if any) surface finishes - especially with regards to steel. The one saving grace we actually have is that almost the entire construction of a budget AR/G36 AEG (which make up most guns at any given game) is plastic and zamac, which means said gun is mostly pretty impervious to rust. Parts which are prone could get a coat of grease/thick oil (if appropriate) which will solve a lot of the issue for a long time if not touched. Otherwise, as with a real gun, just dry it off as far as possible at the earliest opportunity. Luckily in an airsoft we have the luxury of going back to a warm, dry dwelling usually after less than 1 day and access to clean and dry kitchen roll. Same with any kit, if you shove it in a bag while damp and muddy then leave it for a week it'll go to the dogs in one way or another (just speaking to the ether here); basic maintenance is one of the best possible ways to save money in this game and I'm pretty sure that's a high priority for literally everyone.
  8. As always with these things, you can in to insane detail if you want and some people like to, but if you're happy enough with being close to the look that's obviously all that matters end of the day. From speaking to the guy on the KAC booth at SHOT I believe most of the civvie market KS-1s will be black if you wanted to go for that style; obviously isn't the same as the marine/ranger guns then but meh. But if you stick with black I'd say buy what wavey linked and just paint it if you want the look of the latest KAC can/cover.
  9. What did WGC charge to send it? I guessed around £20 and assuming you get around £15 for the special-BS fee from the courier to pay the import VAT then that comes out to £143.50.
  10. Is Warzone all covered in paintball goop?
  11. Off the top of my head I'd say there's been a good few more Glock models on just the US civvie market than have ever had airsoft replicas made (depending of course on how granular you get with different variants). And not all variants that Austria ever designed could be/were sold in the US. Plus there's the AR, E-Tool, knives and horse breeding business to get in to..
  12. The 'stated thing' floated around has always been between 3 months and 1 year; that's what I've always seen at least. Not official like, but it seems to make sense..(within the known rules)?
