  1. Putting this M4 lower reciever together, saying to myself "don't let the front pin detent spring get launched across the room" so obviously it launches at warp 9 and could now be literally anywhere in the multiverse...

      This is why I have a pile of spares of anything that ping away into the ether, I always do it, even when I try not to.

      Best tool I have in my aisoft toolbox is a magnet, it's amazing what you find when you go looking with a magnet.

      When I was getting my hands dirty for a living, we used two terms for those sort of parts: Jesus clips and Pingfuckits. For the uninitiated, Jesus clips because when they break the speed of light leaving the workspace, you say "JESUS! Where dis that clip just fuck off to?". Obviously the second one is onomatopoeia (being the description of the sound made when it happens). 

  2. I really thought there'd be an airsoft HK433 by now.

      Really? Whatever made you think a cool niche weapon would beat out yet another M4 with a shit stock as the next hot thing?

      Could it be too early in production for an airsoft manufacturer to take an interest in doing a replica?


      Are there any films or video games with the gun past a prototype?

    3. TheFull9

      @Galvatron it's been around for quite a few years and iirc was the first assault rifle you got in MW2019 inc WarZone, not sure which version was exactly featured but it looks as similar to current production real ones as any CoD fictional rifle does that's based on a real gun.

  3. Tried sixmm.. they wouldn't ever send an order out until being e-mailed multiple times after already waiting 10 days+. Gave up on them, saw some stuff on Shooters Combat Gear that wasn't available elsewhere, order sat unmoving for a week, e-mail, 'it'll dispatch tomorrow', that was a week ago. I'm sticking with WGC in future I reckon.

      While WGC are usually really good, i recently made an order that took over a week before it was picked/packed/dispatched despite everything showing as in stock. Not really an issue and nothing urgent, but still kinda slow.

       

      AliExpress i've only had good experience with.

      Looks like staffing shortages aren't exclusive to the MoD or NHS.

      @AnonymooseWGC (along with a lot of the asia retailers) ship out only on specific days, i think theirs is a Tuesday, hence the delay

  4. Anyone got a front wired TM Recoil AR? Need part NGM4-39 and of course there's not one to be had on planet earth. I drilled through the holes that the detent for the stock sits in, which was great when the gun was front wired as the stock locked up tight and the stock adjustment lever doesn't wobble, but now I've got exposed wiring under the buffer tube. Hoping somebody has a SOCOM and is open to a swap, will add cash!

  5. Just received a dispatch e-mail from 'weapon762' for a small order that already arrived a month ago.

      Here's the thing; I ordered from ebairsoft, but far as I can tell they're the same company.  eba, as with all the shops I know of in the far east, will send you whatever you like.

    3. Lozart

      Lozart

      Yep, W762 and EB are indeed the same company. Back before Brexit W762 did suggest they would be opening a bricks and mortar store in the UK but obviously that's gone down the shitter.

       

      Odd that you got a dispatch note from W762 when you ordered from EB. Maybe they're just drop shipping it through them?

    4. TheFull9

      TheFull9

      I'd presume 762 is nothing more than a virtual presence, unless anyone knows otherwise?  Could be a distribution centre in europe perhaps, but that seems expensive and unnecessary.  Mostly looks like a facade to trick european customers who aren't comfortable with shipping stuff from HK.

  6. If anyone's got a barrel mounted, Colt marking engraved G&P M203, I have money for you.

  7. F-S has old school plastic TM MP5s (solid stock) for a low low price atm.  If I had the room I'd grab one but alas, hope someone here is after a dead reliable AEG that you just never have to touch internally!

  8. I'm liking the 'Restocked' section of a retailer site even more than the 'New Releases' section at this point.

  9. 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

    1. JCB181

      JCB181

      If all the parts are there then yes, i know how to put them together. Done quite a few

  10. Dear TM,

    M9A4 Please and thank you.

    1. Lozart

      Lozart

      Yes! ALL THE M9's!

       

      Mind you, that grip looks a bit...odd.

  11. Airsoft UK facebook group is starting a website with a forum because Zuck is gonna shut down the group but on their own site they can't get shut down and people can sell RIFs.. 😂

      I'd like to say this will finally make some people realise the obvious and that a forum like this has always been better than FB groups, but I'd imagine a lot of peeps literally don't even know forums are a thing that exists at this point.

    3. Lozart

      Does this mean we'll be getting an influx of semi-literate mouth breathers that get the AFUK part confused?

      I've got a real RAS here but thanks mate.  Did you break an outer barrel somehow?

    3. AirsoftTed

      AirsoftTed

      I wrecked the outside trying to remove the barrel with a pair of vice grips and without an armourers tool to undo the barrel nut. I managed to get it undone with a flat head and a hammer! In my defence I was 16 and didn't know any better.

      Didn't see it as an issue as I was trying to fit an l119 long barrel. The Warlord Tactical barrel didn't fit so I was left with a shredded barrel that I tried to fix with miliput lol!  Just wanted to put it back to 'as new'

    4. TheFull9

      TheFull9

      heh, we've all done kinda similar stuff.  I should've broken my CA RAS with the way I handled it and I cold-welded a CA silencer to my flash hider way back in the day.

  13. Me:  Can I get a nice Colt M4 AEG in stock please?

    Shops:  Here's 1001 different  AAP/5.1 swiss-cheesed slides and OBs in every colour under the sun
     

    I guess it's what sells.. yet I never see anyone actually using guns with these parts on..?

      I hate to admit it, but the aap has been the most reliable sidearm I have ever used when I needed it. And I will be considering those 1001 parts...

    3. TheFull9

      TheFull9

      Reliability is amazing, love to see it.  Personally I've just not seen anyone in any context using a fully swiss-cheese-perforated purple and orange shiny anodised pistol, but someone somewhere must be.

    4. Lozart

      Lozart

      I guess it depends on how many speedsofters you rub shoulders with!

  14. Anyone changed their TM EBB M4's lower receiver/sling end plate and wanna sell me the flat stock one?

  15. What's the go-to newbie best-value AEG recommendation these days?  Mate of mine is out of the service soon and might want his own RIF for a bit of running about on Sundays.

      Hard to see how you can beat the Double Eagle M9xx series for value.  Rotary hop, QC spring, fire control system with burst mode, wired to Deans.  Plastic at the lower end, if that's a deal-breaker.

       

      Hard to keep them in stock, PatrolBase only has the M904L at the moment.

      Yep I'd say DE best value right now, but might be hard to find stock.

      Cyma for m14s, mp5s and AKs. £150ish for a really solid platform

  16. I'm between UCAP Greenops and Dogtag for this Sunday.  First game for the gf.  What we saying?

      Green ops.

      I'm biased though cause it's my local site.

      It's a smallish site but with some good props and varied gameplay.

       

      Enjoy yourselves whichever you choose👍

       

      I wish I was playing but going to Glastonbury for a few days.

      If it was close to the new one I want then I'd go for it but when I see externals that have been molested that much... oof no..

  20. Just posted one of the longer gear-related overviews I've done in a while, so if you're tired of 'reviewers' on youtube getting free stuff and saying shit like "it's made of material!  awesome!" feel free to take a look.  There's an extensive back catalogue of content covering all sorts of gear and dozens of different brands as well.

      yes, yes it was, my advice is to try and get as many careful now's as you can to reverse the damage :P

      Putting up one advert in Gear for Sale is fine but forum rules are that all sales must have a price. To be fair to other members you would need to list prices for all items. Sending you a PM for ask for prices sets a bad precedent.
