[The King Arms FAL returns!]

Classic army did an inaccurate msg90 aeg some years ago for a short while

I spoke to them , they should get more the end of this week/ start of next depending upon how long customs take to clear it

A collectors edition of the old style Sig P226 from VFC /parabellum

Oh i see, they are grey imports from Asia so that makes sense

Is this shiny silver adjustable thing the NPAS adjuster?

 

My fps is 225 roughly on a 0.25g bb which seems a little low 🤔

Where did you get your rifle as all the official Uk ones had npas installed rather than a restrictor 

[GHK Glock 17 Gen 5 now in at HPA U.K.]

From what i understand stock levels were out because of the annual stock take which was why they were closed over the weekend. Annual stock takes are a pain in the ass for any business tbh but it does give a chance to correct stock levels which were previously incorrect

I believe it will be at least a few days before any statement comes out from mike or anyone but sadly it is true 

[Ares 686 2" & 3.5" CO2]

JD Airsoft have a couple in stock. I'm really not a fan of revolvers or CO2 but having played with these last month i was super impressed with the feel and build of them

[MOS Manufacture AK-12 GBBR]

Hopefully not the same shitty system as the E&L 101

[DMR]

Scar h , G3 , FAL , SR25 , MK12 are all good options . Avoid the M14 as it isn't as comfortable with weight as other designs although I still love my M14 it rarely gets a look in . My most consistent , accurate and long range rifle is easily my GBB fal and that's not even running at dmr power 

[LCT teasing a FAL]

Exactly,  it's extremely cheap to knock out copy /paste M4 variants with cheap cast bodies but that's not for everyone

[Vfc m16a1 inner barrel recommendations]

Unicorn do amazing barrels and not too costly 

[VFC GBBR - “EU VERSION”]

VFC offer the EU spec but unfortunately BZ who imported them didn't relay that information to retailers properly.  VFC still offer regular spec to EU and UK too and other importers still get them.  It's down to BZ to tell people what they are selling them

"UMAREX is the world’s largest manufacturer of over-the-counter firearm replicas and the largest importer of air guns in Europe. Founded in 1972, the mid-sized company is now run by the second generation of the two founding families. It has approximately 1,000 employees worldwide. The key to the company’s success has been the acquisition of licenses to build replicas of well-known weapons, which then can be sold without restrictions. Umarex currently holds licenses for the brands Beretta, Browning, Colt, GLOCK, Heckler & Koch, Ruger, Smith & Wesson, IWI and Walther."

 

Not sure where you are getting the parts difference from any info you could link to please?  

 

Most of those licenses are for Germany only.  Colt license elsewhere is currently owned by cybergun and vfc has the license for Olympic arms themselves as well as BCM and KAC . None of the EU spec rifles have umarex licensing and in fact most of them have no real.markings at all as it's the "budget range" my advice is to avoid the EU spec budget line unless someone wants something cheaper as a back up or first gbbr.

 

And my info comes from VFC directly (to answer whoever asked). I work in the airsoft manufacturing and distribution industry including with VFC 

[VFC GBBR - “EU VERSION”]

EU version actually refers to the spec . They are zinc bolt carrier AND trigger parts where as the regular version has steel trigger parts . Also EU version usually comes with CO2 magazine

Yup trade mark thing. Stuff marketed to the EU that does not want to pay dues to Umarex.

Umarex has nothing to do with those rifles as they are not H&K or Glock based

Not quite Marskman don't have license restricted guns like apfg. It's just a south Korean distributor commissioning different projects

[RWA Nighthawk custom Warhawk C02 Mags]

Those co2 mags will not work as they are for the older kwc based rwa pistols . The warhawk is TM based but rwa have not released any co2 mags for them

[Sig 320 X Carry]

Just bought one of the VFC made Sig 320 x carry.

Nice pistol, one concern if you put a gassed up mag in the pistol when the gun hasn’t been cocked the mag valve is obviously making contact with the valve knocker as the pistol firers, not powerfully, but another for the slide to move forward and back very quickly, just like when you lower the hammer on a gassed up mag.

Cant find out if this is a faulty pistol or just how this one is designed.

Check the strike valve on the magazine with a valve tool, i find some are not fully screwed in 

[Which P226…?]

I've got at least one of each brand with P226, P228 and P229 models  ,

TM - shoots quite nice but feels dated and tacky now 

KJ - full metal but poor finish and a bit rattley

WE - actually one of WEs best models , nice finish , realistic feel and firing pin look , decent performance 

KWA - Nice finish , NS2 system just feels weak to shoot , bad markings 

VFC - stunning finish and performance but not so easy to track down (def my choice for the best)

 

I do have some other brands too but they aren't worth adding as they are either super expensive or rare these days

 

[VFC SR25 or M110k1]

All the VFC SR25s received the updates as production continued . The only differences are stylistic . You will not find a older SR25 in stock at a shop brand new as its been years 

[TM MP5 NGRS Owners]

The answer is no it will not fit,  at least not without modification

Any luck with the retractable stock? I have the original Marui butt and the whole locking module itself, I just don't have the two bars which retract...

 

If they fit, at least I can try moving them over to the TM parts...

Oh good point I'll try it when I go upstairs in a bit

Does anyone know/has anyone tried a VFC retractable stock on their MP5? I can't find a replacement Marui one and hoping a VFC might fit...

The solid stock fits but the sliding stock for the gbb has a buffer etc in it.  I'll try it later when I get chance

Any one else run into feeding issues with certain BBs
 

Only just got mine and had nothing but issues. Using some bios that I’ve not used before so I’m hope if it’s just that. 
Initially slight forward pressure on the bottom of the mag helped but now it’s just random whether it will feed on not. 
 

 

BIOs often aren't as good as non bio BBs especially if they aren't a good brand.

Personally i will not use bios in any of my rifles

I suspect it's one photo that's been used by multiple retailers . It's common for retailers to take each other's photos which is why watermarking became more popular
