This was taken from a Facebook group so may help here..... the guy in question that asked the original question to royal mail runs a reputable company up north. With a recent reply from Royal Mail, there has been some measure of success when it comes to knowing who to post your RIFs with. Here's the reply I received last week: ------------------------------------------------------------------ "Dear Mr Liggat Thank you for contacting Royal Mail, There are no restrictions on insurance sending airsoft guns through Royal Mail. Although we do have specific packaging guidelines .Please find below: Guns for sporting use (Guns intended for sporting purposes - including Section 1 and Section 2 firearms, low-powered air weapons and their component parts - may be sent in compliance with UK law subject to any applicable controls on the possession or export of firearms) UK destinations: Yes International destinations: Yes Follow these packaging guidelines: Use 1st Class as the minimum service. The sender’s name and address must be clearly visible on the outer packaging. All items are subject to screening and a delay may be incurred if an item is deemed as suspect and sent for further checking. In order to work with Royal Mail to find any such items compliant, the non-pressurised cylinder should not be attached to the gun so we can clearly see the item is compliant. This is only relevant to guns that are acceptable in our network according to our ‘Guns for Sporting Use’ guidelines. Canisters must not be attached or contained in gun." ------------------------------------------------------------------ So basically: -1st class or greater -Senders info must be clearly visible -No pressurised containers and gas mags must be empty of gas -All magazines must be out of the gun -Insurance IS valid -Maximum size = Medium Parcel (see below) The only restriction not mentioned in the reply is that the parcel must not exceed the 'Medium' sizing restrictions or it will go with Parcel Force and essentially not be insured. To be sent through the RM, the parcel must not exceed 20Kg with maximum dimensions of 610mm x 460mm x 460mm. This may mean that you have to disassemble the RIF and send it in a box other than the one it came with. I'm sure it's obvious that this is preferable to sending it with no insurance. It's also worth noting that you DO NOT specifically need to tell them it's a RIF (but do not lie if they ask). There's no label etc that they need to put on the box. They usually will ask you what's inside so if it's your first time sending something, it can be helpful to take along their prohibited items list so you can show them it's definitely allowed Hopefully this clears things up

Hi Baz, I thought id add a little something from the player side of things for the game last week. the day was really well planned and the story was very immersive which you don’t get from a lot of game days. The use of small squads of people made the day IMO play a hell of a lot better than having say 80 odd people there in total. The site from the outside I didn’t think much of and was a little demoralized when I turned up but when you get in the play area.... holy hell! It was like your very own world had opened up in front of you! At times tabbed for a good 10 minutes without even a sound of anything around me which added to the feel of being isolated from any outside help (I was on the SOF team). The organizers but in quite a bit of effort with the bases and structures that were on the site and I liked the use of vehicles for the teams (I did understand why the SOF couldn’t have any transport other than for insertion but my legs and feet were not so understanding! Haha). Pros for me. - Well organised - Large site with immersive feel - Good players (couldn’t be happier with the hit taking) - Medic rules worked well - Character drop ins worked well Cons for me - Couldn’t always get through to our team lead at HQ on the radios - Mixed/confusing messages meant we walked halfway to an objective then got recalled for something else - Needed a decision maker on the team - More use of props would be good all round All in all Baz I really enjoyed myself and I think you and the guys at Okto 8 should be very proud of what you pulled together! I think the more people that play a game with you guys the better as I think your type of milsim would suit a lot of people. Would I book again.... in a heartbeat.

Thanks for the info, Im still not up to scratch with who makes what and who is rebranded as who...

Thanks guys i wasnt sure what umarex was as a brand, now im enlightened i shall save my pennies for the TM and can add it to my already growing TM collection

looking for info.. Not really looking for GBB which has led me to look at the Umerex MP7 as a cheap alternative... anyone run one? thoughts on the gun and performance would be greatly appreciated.

cheers guys

Hi, First question I have is regarding the box magazines - not sure all are the same... On the section of the magazine that feeds the bbs to the hop unit, What is the material used for the tubing, From what I can tell it only looks like coiled metal (like a long pressurized spring) is that was it is or is it actual PVC tubing inside?

Got the wrong general section, my mistake...

Mine:TM VSR pro 10 with WE glock 19 Brothers: G&G Combat Machine

there is a strip down video on youtube i believe, just search mk23 socom

25 flash bangs 15 high emission smokes 15 mk3 remote dets 12 thunder b trip mine shells Element scout torch Contour lens protector NATO patches First aid packs 16gb micro SD card (for contour)

Having someone actually get back to messages and e-mails would be nice... appreciated people can be busy, but a simple fix message could take no less than 5 - 10 minutes.

you can buy all sorts of ASG branded stuff in my local cash converters

just had the last of the two lancaster bombers fly over my work with a spitfire and hurricane flaking their wings!!! got a video that ill try and post later

you sir are a dude!

Here is my problem I've got a problem with my TM 416D my friend took it apart ( as he did with his) to put in a new spring and a new gear set (his works fine). When I finish a mag the bolt lock pops up to indicate the mag is finished but when I put a new mag in it doesn't seem to want to fire. The bolt lock when I put in a fresh mag (after finishing one) seems to just go back flush against the lower receiver rather than staying up allowing me to push it back in which should be the normal function.... I was advised by john at fire support it could be something to do with two pins inside the gear box that have been put in the wrong way round? any idea's or help would be greatly appreciated

Without starting another thread, have you ever done something during a day that you have instantly regretted and kicked yourself for the rest of the day/evening?

steel toe cap ugg boots? you could allways camo them so its not quite as gay as wearing the ugg boots themselves

its been a long day, my confusion between dutch speaking and the dutch got crossed

gel inner soles! they are a life saver mate

That's not my point "P90's are Belgium" is not good English - Should have been P90's are Dutch.

P90's are Belgium... When she can speak English I may take her a bit more seriously
