    jcheeseright got a reaction from Monty in .22 Pistol NRA/BASC supported PETITION!   
    signed, but nothing will change. Even if a million people sign that petition there's still 59 million who haven't.

    The red tops and other sensationalist newspapers would tear the government to bits if they re legalised any kind of pistol (other than muzzle loaders, which are still legal!). I can see the headlines now:
    "Britain braced for more Dunblane style massacres"
    "GUN TERROR AS PISTOLS FLOOD STREETS"
    "Space Pakis steal corpse of Lady Diana using newly legalised pistols" (Daily Mail)

    As much as I'd love for .22 pistols to be decriminalised the anti-gun lobby have more numbers (just take a look at mums net... they'd ban nerf guns if they could!) and more of a sensational argument.

    jcheeseright got a reaction from adam bussey in Import duties and tax for parts   
    maybe, who knows?! I've had stuff marked as toys and with the gift box ticked get charged and I've had stuff marked up correctly get through without so much as a look from customs.
     
    anything from the far east is a gamble with customs.
     
    The end result though is that you should EXPECT to pay 20% VAT and a £13 handling charge from parcel farce, VAT is inclusive of shipping, so it'll be on the full £52. But, it'll be worked out based on the exchange rate on the day that it's received by customs, so it could end up being more than the £52 you're expecting.

    Power spray is really quick, take the parts you want to strip, put them in a big Tupperware box or plastic bag, spray them liberally with powerspray, seal it up and wait 30-40 minutes then scrub like a mofo with a stuff brush.
    You'll probably want a pin or something to get the last bits out of the smallest gaps that the pin can't get.

    Yeah, complete and utter tosh, anything less than 51% solid bright colour as laid down in the VCRA is a RIF, patterns are a no-no and subdued colours don't meet the requirements.
     
    That said, there's no law against you painting your gun as I assume you can prove you're a legit airsofter. The 18 year old rule applies only to SALE of RIFs, not manufacture.

    the flip down lenses on those Emerson FAST helmets are borderline dangerous, I wouldn't use one if you paid me to do it:
     
    A guy from Arnies Airsoft forums did a test on them, the full write up is here: http://arniesairsoft.co.uk/forums/index.php?%2Ftopic%2F159597-helmet-pictures%2Fpage-82
     
    My 2p on it is that if you're wearing that as protection you'd be better off with a couple of layers of cling film, at least it won't shatter when the BB comes through it. If your eyepro is ANSI z87.1 rated then it'll withstand birdshot from a shotgun, airsoft won't even leave a mark on the lenses.

    boogie regulators will steam up the second you stand still, they're not really designed for airsoft, more parachuting, driving offroad, etc etc.
     
    £17 for a decent set of specs is a decent price.

    To the OP from a noob to another
     
    Buy the following:
    Trousers,
    Boots
    Mesh mask
    Beany hat/head covering of some type
    & some goggles.
    From ebay/local surplus store, the above will set you back minimal amounts, (even look at using normal clothes in muted colours)
     
    Do a day using a rental. Then you will notice what you will need. maybe the next time you will return with a back pack ......but you will go on from there.
     
    don't waste your time writing out a long shopping list of stuff you may not even like once you have it, all your doing is messing about with list's & budgets. Get out & get shot & crawl about in the mud for a day......you will learn more & have fun while doing it.
