Got it from JD Airsoft, but contacted ares direct and they are very helpful. They have posted out a replacement grip. Friend of mine has problems with his, double action has broken after 3 capsules.
Keep a close eye on the grips, mine had a small part break off for no reason that I can think off. Not been banged or dropped, only fired one capsule so far.
They do have a physical store, but they were closed until today I believe. The website was offline until Saturday afternoon so the stock levels should have been accurate if they actually had 3 in stock.
That’s bloody annoying, as you said it showed 3 in stock. Lucky that both of you are patient people, I would be going to Defcon and asking HPA for a refund. I’am surprised though, I have purchased from HPA a few times and they have been very good.
HPA have sold out now, although I’am told Defcon still have them at £200. I still have I set of the GHK mounts if anyone wants to add a red dot to the Gen 5.
I have sets of the GHK plates if anyone wants to mount a red dot. £22 posted. Don’t go and pay the ridiculous £30 plus postage that some shops are asking.
Saw that HPA U.K. have the GHK Glock 17 Gen 5 in, and at a great price. Landwarrior who are the Umarex main agent apparently still don’t have them, listed as out of stock, and listed at £70 more than HPA.
