2x Federal Concepts GM Evo Locker packs (so 6 mags total) - So I can run Ranger plates on them without them dismantling themselves

1x GM Evo PMag V2- to bring myself up to 6 of them.

I mean, it's also fairly accurate at the same time.

yep - this was my thinking - I suppose it depends if you use your pistol as a primary or not. But for me, I only tend to use half a mag or so in a typical mornings play, so that’s quite a lot of wasted gas (and its supposedly not great for the seals to leave the bulbs pierced in the mags for days on end)

Yeah, that is the other side of CO2. If you're leaving it for more than a day, you have to remove the bulb otherwise the seals will die a quick death.

Also I really don't understand why some one buys something and then say what other manufacturers mags fit. Stick with like for like. You got a WE gun get WE mags you are not going to run into fitment/seal issues.

Because frequently, if you're relying on UK stores alone, there are never any mags in stock when you go to buy them.

Fair, but very quickly the higher cost of the Co2 will outstrip your initial outlay on a bottle of green gas....

price per shot with CO2 vs GG on a WE pistol is near identical, and actually works out cheaper if you buy the bulbs in packs of 40 or more. Only way to make gas cheaper is to be buying plumbers gas and using an adapter.

Untill it's not. I personally have had to wait almost two months for a gun to clear customs, going back and forth with the carrier. There are also lots of people who have had guns dead on arrival with no come back. We also have to remember the Dollar is doing shite at the moment (not up to when it was $2 to £ like it was in the early 2000s) but this last year you didn't save money importing. A few times I payed more than I would in the UK but no one in the UK had them in stock.

It's pretty near impossible for something imported to be more expensive unless you're buying extremely rare items or buying from stores that hyperinflate prices off the get go (RWA or WGC).

Also strength of USD to GBP is fairly irrelevant, if the store is using HKD or NTD as its primary currency.

The split slide versions of Hi Capa's might be an option if you're set on 1911 ish designs. Less moving mass, so inherently quieter.

WE Scar H Mags from Taiwan via EMS shipped on 26th June.

DE MWS BCG from HK via snail mail shipped on 27th June.

Both arrived within 10 minutes of each other today...

So much for 20 days on the snail mail then lol.

July 4

Anyone who has both a DE Ghetto Blaster and a DE N4, could you weigh your BCG's for me please?

Just bought a spare BCG from Tiger1111HK that is intended for a GB, and i've immediately noticed its about 20g heavier than my N4's original BCG.

Jesus fuck that website is horrendous. Get rid of all the flashing shit.

Hello all

Does anyone know of any Russian style replica scopes that will fit onto a Cyma Vintorez without modification as I know the PSO1 replica I have on my SVD won't fit due to the lighting part that protrudes from the bottom?

I currently have an eotech replica on an AK side mount which fits and if you squint hard enough can pass for a 1P87 sight which I am contemplating buying but would rather have the classic appearance with the scope

Cheers

Nope. This is a fairly well known issue, the CYMA replica's mount isn't 1:1 so cannot fit scopes properly.

the forum search even discovers a post on here 3 years ago covering this -

Wow, the most I have seen is £80 difference. Best price I have found is £599.99

Raresoft preorder is £740. Which is mildly absurd given the other retailers.

If you want to really save money, the cheapest way is buying from ProAct, as its $506USD with free EMS shipping - so even after customs and parcelfarce take their pound of flesh it'll only be £460ish.

July 2

Yup, especially when some are almost £150 more expensive.

Bought 5 used Guns Modify Pmags from here, so I can run the DE on those instead of HPA, as I've decided i'm only using HPA when I absolutely have to, rather than all the time.

Pretty clear based on the multitude of listings he's a pisstaking retailer selling his product, but by god does it look shit, and it's definitely overpriced AF.

Arduino Nano's even at overpriced retailers are £13, the RFID reader is about £7, the screen is usually around £15. There are a multitude of free projects on this theme, even the custom PCB won't add up to enough to justify the near 200% markup for a "Prototype".

Hello, wondered if anyone could assist me.

just bought the n4 new and the airattack HPA kit mag kit and I was having issues for about 4 hours. We had to have it below 70PSI because it would be over by 40 with 0.25bb’s but when lowered it, it would cause it not to shoot. After we fiddled around with it we got it shooting but every so often I would go to shoot and it would just dump my ass multiple times.the mag adapter is alittle bit wobble but not sure if that’ll affect it

I’m not sure how to resolve this issue.

You need an NPAS in the nozzle to adjust the output. The adapter will need a minimum of 100psi to get an N4 to cycle well.

As long as the information is freely given with the consent of the supplier and can be proved, for the purpose of verification - if the retailer then only confirms that the details are correct or not without sharing any other information, it's A-OK.

Doing it for this purpose is an "Informal Subject Access Request by Third Party".

Anyone can call up a retailer and do this, it's quite often why my sales on RIF's take so long, if everything isn't hunky dory, it's not happening.

Tec-Spek · June 28

As its not entirely clear, is gen in reference to it being genuine?

If that's the case and you can provide evidence of it, you could quite easily expect £500-600 - but it may take a while to sell it. If not, decent clones are still available for £120 new, so maybe £70-80.

Valken filed for bankruptcy I think this was supposed to be, as per this that was posted on IG earlier

Not particularly surprised, as the peddle cheap crap for both airsoft and paintball.
