Luckily, I know a fair bit and am happy to shit on his parade.
TL;DR; The "upgraded" hop unit is trash with proprietary buckings which are near impossible to obtain outside of HK. The "Highly Upgraded" Is bare fucking minimum.

Had something like 10 ACM T1 clones die because of heavier recoil GBBRs?
But you do get what you pay for in that regard.
Recently swapped to using Vector and Vortex because they will honour warranties, so if something does break, I don't need to fret over it. At the point in my life where i'd rather just buy something decent once than buy it cheap repeatedly.

The "GENUINE" VS-24 is a 5KU VS-25.
The CO2 Mags are Well and basically worthless junk.
No mention of Steel FCG, NPAS or barrel/hopup swap from stock WE shite barrel/hopup.
Absolute mockery of a pisstake.
Dude unsubtlely looked at my profile on Sunday, thank god for tracking posts.
Still hasn't adjusted the pisstake price.

£750 for a WE? Is this Leez in disguise?
Going rate is more like £400 with that many WE mags, if and only if, its had all the things done to it (Steel FCG, but not the WELL crap, replaced hop rubber/inner barrel, NPAS'ed etc). As this seemingly has none of that, its probably worth more like £200-250.

That's WE closed bolt. Get a conversion kit for the love of god - V2 is end of life, Closed bolt was end of life a DECADE ago.

A friend bought one about 10 years ago in significantly worse condition than that for around £400.

Where do I start? Maybe with they're rare because they were discontinued as they didn't sell well due to being crap and unreliable so good luck to anyone who wants spare parts or extra magazines.
Or maybe that they were £100 new.
Oh and they never had a bolt hold open so the crap repair makes no difference
Who the fuck would put a turd like that in a display case 👀

I don’t think it willThe only thing I found that will remove anodising is drain cleaner, it needs a soak in that and a good brillo
Ano goes into the aluminiums pores, you really need something VERY aggressive to remove that (and whatever you use will also want to remove your skin!)
I stripped shitty not quite anodising that PTS uses with nail polish remover, which is only 30% acetone, off a Magpul PTS Masada, that was less than a year old, given these haven't even been made in near 10 years, and you don't know the state of it under the paint, the risk is too high.
Hard anodising goes into the pores, normal does not. Hard Anodising is expensive, PTS cut corners and cheaped out, as you could lift it with light scuffing.
-
Use Biostrip, its literally a fit for purpose product, that doesn't damage any plastics or original coatings that are on it- petrol will damage the shitty anodising that PTS used to do.

That's nice and easy, get the other one thats not 'upgraded' by DCA, as you'll be being passed the insane markup he does for something that is almost certainly not as high of a value as its listed at..

Doesn't MWS limit you to just AR-based guns? (And a SCAR-L for a lot of money)
TM AKX et al are also empirically better than WE AK's, if not compatible with many RS parts, but then most will take a functioning gun over a pretty one.

Been a user of WE since the closed bolt era, but i'm now swapping to TM as I don't have to stick with a single, shit aftermarket option (note, not upgrade, aftermarket, as they're anything but upgrades).
Also another consideration, WE V2 (what most retailers in the UK have in stock at the moment, and what all used sales will be) is now end of life, as V3 has been released 4-5 months ago. There isn't enough information on the reliability of V3 to be able to recommend them, and V2 parts ceased being manufactured 3 months prior to the first production runs of V3, so parts will start to become more scarce.

Ordered from Octagon before?
Nope. I'm just stating what I will be getting, from a UK retailer, as I don't fancy playing the held up in customs for 6 months lottery again any time soon.

FEDA Npas mws
in Gas Guns

Get the Jaeger Precision one as it doesn't have squiffy QC issues, the updated one will fit in the stock nozzle, whereas the FEDA one requires you to replace the stock nozzle with a Guns Modify one. https://jaegerprecision.co.uk/products/jaeger-precision-mws-npas-adjustable-valve
