I was just about to post that one. The service cost is basically sunk, be lucky to get £1k for the full package but more likely £800.

👀

Oh interesting - can you tell us more?

Not for my bank balance 🥲

Echo everything @Colin Allen said - even the bit when he shot me in the ear 🤣. You're right though, a covered safezone would have made a world of difference today. Morning game was really roving, all over the site and some good firefights. Like Colin says, no idea who won but I really didn't care by the end. I actually explored some bits of the site I'd never seen before. It really is a huge place and even after three visits, I still go down the wrong path. Afternoon game was good but struggled a bit in the middle - I think a couple of the non-bands went home early (likely the weather), which really robbed their team of momentum. To fix it, I was swapped onto the non-bands for the last hour or so of the game along with @Jez_Armstrong, which meant I got to shoot some fellow AFUKers (slightly more legitimately ). It's a really great site run by some good folk and I'd love to see it succeed. The real highlight for me though, came after endex. I was chatting to a regular sniper last time I went, that there was something I'd always missed from my collection. Today, he mentioned that he'd given it some thought and since he had two, he'd sell me one. I'm picking it up on Wednesday with a photo essay to follow but for now let's say it will make @Impulse a little jealous!

I'll be in OD trousers with a black waterproof. (only one I have I don't mind getting muddy). Giant yellow North Face kitbag. DPM chest rig & Systema L119A1 if it works, Multicam chest rig & AK-104 if it doesn't. Oh and my actual name is Jordan.

I’ve got the same set up. Tiny bit of shadow in the bottom half of the image if you really look for it, but doesn’t affect use one bit. Don’t notice it at all when playing.

Oh cripes, having looked at the weather I think you’ll need a rubber knife to go with your rubber suit if you want to hit anything 😂

Oh quite a few of us then - wahey!

That will be your active braking heating the motor up. What happens if you just turn it off? Also could it be cycling too fast for the tappet plate? Do you need a delayer chip perhaps?

Had a quick search and couldn't see any discussion of this. Wolverine have now announced their new 'Havoc' engine, which is their answer to a HPA shotgun engine. Instead of multiple barrels, it effectively has a whacky hop chamber that holds eight BBs ready to go. When you pull the trigger, it sends all eight down range then reloads another eight. There's a decent video of it here: What are everyone's thoughts? One one hand, I love the idea of a bit of airsoft innovation. On the other, a semi-auto that slings eight 1J BBs could lead to some overkill temper tantrums.

Really? I just whacked in a 3kg 60cm for a 48hr signed for delivery insured to £350 into the PF quote website and it's quoted me £20.45... Maybe you guys are seeing something I'm not.

Is it? We were lambasting that other fella for losing a RIF through the post but I'd wager shipping something this size, with appropriate insurance, will run you £20 from plenty of couriers.

There's plenty of us still keeping them running. The best place for info is the WA part of the Heavy Recoil Club discord: https://discord.gg/N7VXNx58

I think you’ll appreciate my ancient L119A1 ‘long’ Systema, if it decides to work…

Tough day at Imperium. Nobody’s fault but it’s an open grassland site on the coast during a storm. If I hadn’t booked in advance because it was the last Ground War of the year, I wouldn’t have bothered going. Didn’t successfully hit a single person I aimed at all morning (although I did catch a few of their neighbours). Still enjoyed it at points though, as me and a pal managed to do some sneaky stuff collecting the missile objective without being spotted or indeed firing a shot. Still planning for the Battlelakes day on the 7th then I think I’ll have a couple of months off.

With the new VFC AK out now, and GHK’s with iffy QC for a while, I think GHK owners who want out will have to take a bath.

After a recent game day, I realised I needed something (semi) reliable for the winter months and also had an AK shaped hole in my life. Looking forward to running this for the first time this weekend.

Ha! That boltie GHK upper would actually be quite tempting!

Most realistic you're looking at either GHK or VFC. As a GHK owner, these days I'd buy a VFC.

Yes exactly that. Solid mounted Atlas 750 motor.

Just bought myself something new that's old - a 1968 Norton P11. Because I've basically always wanted to be Clint Eastwood.

It's such a shame. I've got an early V2 GHK M4 set up as a 119A2 and it's a lovely thing. Very reliable, shoots well most of the year and a real joy to shoot. It's a shame they've lost that. If VFC produce a carbine variant, I'll be all over it.

Ah I’m well pleased this has prompted something! In hindsight @VictorFourTwo I should have realised you were managing it not owning it, as no one would be a glutton to both own a site and a collection of WA Primes… FYI, I was the chap with the sad Systema last week.

Yes the lack of any real social media isn't doing them any favours.
