RSOV fairly regularly mark stuff as "gift". Custome and Excise are a funny bunch though and have far further reaching powers than people realise when it comes to search and seizure and of course charging you money. As SD alluded to the postage and insurance costs are factored in when calculating duty. VAT is then charged on the whole value including duty so yes, you do in fact get taxed on the tax. Buy from the EU instead. No VAT that way

TM HK45. Time for a new pistol.

Same here. I have a couple of G&G ones which are fine but the Lonex one is fantastic.

5m? Try 2 feet! Get a lot of close in hand hits at the Mall due to the very CQB nature of the site. Nothing short of armoured gloves stops that hurting like a motherflipper!

I have huge hands and I have Mechanix mpact gloves. Very comfortable, good fit especially on my thumb (big hands but fairly short fingers). I also have some helikon ones that are nice but not quite such a good fit. Something to bear in mind though - the protection on tactical style gloves is designed to help stop you skinning your knuckles on walls and such and don't actually provide much impact resistance against bb hits. If that's what you need I would suggest you look at armoured paintball gloves.

The ideal number of guns is represented by the following equation: X=n+1 where n is the number of guns you have and x is the number of guns you want.

None of those are genuine Deans connectors for a start, if they were they'd be a lot more expensive. Try component shop or a decent RC supplier. Fitting them is relatively easy as long as you have a decent soldering iron and a steady hand. Tinning as mentioned above is the process of flowing solder onto the parts to be joined prior to actually soldering them together. When it's done right it produces a far better join with less probability of getting a dry joint (where the solder doesn't flow properly and you get a mechanical joint with poor electrical conduction). I always tin the connector and the end of the wire before joining them but I learned how to solder in the aerospace industry... As SD mentioned, don't forget the heatshrink, don't cut both battery wires at the same time and the socket always goes on the battery.

I find mine is quite particular about ambient light levels.

They did a few weeks ago when I was there.

Iron site does too.

Fabreze if you don't want to wash them. It's the velcro that will most likely suffer. I've washed my mechanix gloves loads of times and apart from the velcro coming unstuck they're fine. Use a gentle cycle though or maybe even just put them on and wash your hands with them on and a bit of washing powder.

What's it like in the cold? How many mags of ammo can you get through on one fill of green gas? I'm looking at replacing my M9 and while I'm probably going down the TM route, the WE IS a lot cheaper...

Nobody does one cheap as far as I know http://grey-shop.ru/index.php?route=product/product&path=123_66&product_id=110

I have the CYMA Mod 1 version. If you get to Iron SIght you can have a try

M14 EBR for the win

Try a different site. Ironsight down by Andover is pretty good fun.

It's called titanium gold because it's supposed to look like Titanium Nitride which has a gold colour to it. Often used on motorbike forks because it helps reduce friction (and looks nice).

Www.flecktarn.co.UK

Nice. You've made a decent job of that!

Not going this Sunday I'm afraid - house hunting.

I have big hands too hence I was interested as an alternative to my m9. How is the accuracy/range etc?

To be fair he has the KAC one on his M4 so you could argue that it's just been swapped over....

I know what you mean. I actually managed to bend one of the pins once being a bit cack handed. I've also managed to push the latch button in so far it wouldn't come back out. Once you get the knack it's ok though. Mine now has a BTC Spectre mosfet and it's SOOOOOOO much better! Properly snappy trigger response.

As a complete aside - what do you think of your TM P226? Thinking of getting one.
