Saw it out of the plastic stock?

Parts blowout for the M700 this evening: G&G Rubber seal set LayLax 650mm tight bore King Arms suppressor adaptor (to replace the one I lost....also keeps the inner barrel central to the weapon, as my bodged tape job to stabilise the barrel has resulted in shots flying very far left, almost out of scope view) Also some misc stuff: 270ml bottle of Abbey Brut Bottle of Blaster Devil .28gs And a 1 year subscription to the forums

Well, you can't really convey tone of voice over the internet- hence why many people use emoticons to show when they're being cheeky or daft. in fact Dev recommends their use for that because in the past arguments have erupted after little digs were taken too seriously TL;DR: use emoticons when you want to be cheeky

Don't be a dick.

Boots and 5.11 socks arrived from Polimill (finally!). Ben from customer services was great and included a decent torch and a pair of Magnum gloves for free. 10/10 will order from again.

Just be aware that trigger response with EAPs is pretty crap and FPS is sub 300, around 240 in some cases. There are better springs and LiPo batteries available for them which should improve it though. If you want something that's powerful and fast responding out of the box, get a gas pistol. WE Gen 4 Glocks and most TM pistols are great.

It's fair enough if other people and you want to do that, but I personally don't like it. At the end of the day we're all gimmicky as you said, but I don't see the point of spending £70 or more on renting for 3 months, getting a UKARA defence and spending a few hundred on a realistic AEG that you're going to paint like something out of a video game

I don't think drum mags exist for them. There are MP5 drum mags knocking around for about £30 from China and Japan, so if you could convert the UMG's mag well in such a way to take them properly then it might work. Idk where you can find UMG mags, maybe have a look at proairsoftsupplies.co.uk? They kind of specialise in G&G stuff so they might have some

Yeah, that's why I'm not too keen on hydrodipping unless it's for a complex camo pattern like Kryptek or something. IMO anything like this looks a bit too gimmicky for me

Not really to my personal taste, but it seems like it gives a nice finish

'Special' Yeah

My Leatherman and a 'Park Tool' hex key multitool. Maybe a couple of small screwdrivers too

G&G Top Tech M4 (gen 2) 315-320 FPS on a .20g Around 30-40m range. Hop needs looking at. KJW M700 410-420 FPS with smaller mag, 440-450 with larger mag 50-60m range. Needs a tightbore though.

So your friend's parents bought him a RIF without a defence? That's illegal in itself for the retailer, the defence is there to stop retailers being prosecuted if they sell a rif to someone who isn't UKARA registered. I would not recommend going down that route. RIF = Realistic Imitation Firearm

Polimil have bodged my order since the employee handling my order left the country at the weekend without telling the other, slightly annoyed about that as I won't get my boots until Thursday. However they are including a selection of free items, so it's not all bad

TL;DR: don't try to buy an airsoft gun from abroad if you have no UKARA registration and if it's not 2 toned and bought by an adult.

Customs will hold any gun you buy abroad and destroy it if you don't have a defence. Taiwangun will print the UKARA number on the outside of the package so that customs can run it through the database to check if it's legitimate.

More gas efficiency maybe, but you'll only have about 20 BB capacity. Maybe it could be converted to a DMR easily with a high flow valve, lightweight bolt and TBB + better hop/nub

M4's a lot more convenient- you can get all the different rail systems and stocks and hand guards and stuff for them on the market, the rifle was designed to be more ergonomic and easier to control- so magazine release is easier to operate, selector is easier to use etc- but there are shit tons of M4s around, they're easily the most produced airsoft weapon. If you want something a little different, go for the AK- the CM.048 is mostly steel, miles better than the crappy pot metal that the lower model numbers are made of. The same crappy metal has the reputation for breaking, not the steel versions.

Nope. I got an email from them containing a tracking number though.

UK woodland site limit for guns is 350fps, CQB limit is usually 328fps. There's a few choices for an AK which are within your budget: G&G RK-47 (http://www.zerooneairsoft.com/product_info.php?products_id=8790) probably the best of the bunch. Fairly good internals and a strong plastic body, with a couple of metal parts. You can get models without blowback for less, but the blowback is a nice touch. If you don't like it you can always get it disabled by a tech. Any CYMA AK47 with a model number of CM.048 or above. These are full steel VFC (?) clones. CYMA internals aren't the best out of the box, they'll need a downgrade as out of the box they clock in at 380fps or thereabouts. They're really noisy OOB as they usually need the gears' angle of engagement corrected and the gearboxes are caked with machine grease inside, so they may need disassembling and cleaning. You could get any tech to do that at most sites if you aren't comfortable. SRC AKs- don't bother. Piles of crap. ICS AKs- if you can stretch your budget a little, they're worth it. But before purchasing a RIF, you need to get yourself registered on the UKARA database. You can do this by attending 3 games in no less than 2 months, getting a marshal to sign off the paperwork you can get from most site offices, and then once the form is filled you hand it in and they'll put you on the database for a £5 or less admin fee. You also need to be over 18 to purchase a RIF. If you aren't you can ask a parent/older brother/over 18 friend to purchase an AEG for you. If they don't have a UKARA defence or similar, 51% of the gun would have to be painted a bright colour before a retailer will ship it. Most online retailers will do a 2toning service for under £20. Zero One do it for free on selected guns though.

I couldn't care less if there were U18 players younger than me at skirmishes. As long as they don't turn up in jeans with the latest JBBG special and don't act like a weapons expert because they played Call of Duty, I don't mind. That and following the rules correctly and refraining from blind firing, that is
