Seems a case of the usual grey area, or open to interpretation. Some sites once you're a member its for life, where others require you to start from scratch if your membership lapses by a day, and anything in between. Mine lapsed a few months but my site just signed me back up with UKARA straight away, though a certain prominent retailer was really off with me when I phoned them to check it had gone through after explaining the situation. (Eventhough I'd played several times as a non member at the same site.)

I wondered that, just reread it and assume its 314fps on 0.3s? Which makes it 380ish iirc on 0.2s so pretty hot if so?

Yeah read that one a while back, was indeed a cracking read, lots of action to keep you reading and thoroughly recommend it.

Their postage seems dear too. I'm also after some mags (3 CO2 ones) postage quoted was $47 which after customs, import tax etc means they'd be dearer than UK . . . if anywhere here actually had them.

You could always sell the CM035 and buy a Magpul Beta Project AK if you want a tactical AK?

Go for it. TM. Recoil. Enough said. You won't regret it.

They do full on Zombie weekends there too iirc. Zed Adventures are the guys you want to look up, they do the Mall Reading too.

I wish I could answer that, but I've not travelled extensively tbh. I can only say having played at a handful of woodland sites and 4 CQB sites that its usually the woodland sites that keep me coming back. The Manor near Warrington is a great mix of both though, recommend it if you get a chance.

Exactly, although there are places where the foliage is so thick its more like CQB, and moreso now the containers have a maze type entry, bfg's are a big hit lol!

Woodland is more level playing field (if thats not a contradiction?!) ie a noob can take out a l33t player by use of cover, and luck and skill are fairly balanced, whereas CQB is more down to tactical play requiring more skill/tactics, very often it seems down to who throws the most pyro/bfg's. Generally I prefer Woodland to be honest.

At least it has a hop unit so range may be ok even though power is pretty low. Its still a backyard plinker though. And I'd be surprised if anything parts wise is even remotely compatible tbh. These guns are generally fit for the bin if something breaks. Also if you do actually find a stronger spring I'd expect the trigger sear and bolt handle to break real quick. I reckon you'd be far happier with a Combat Machine AEG in the long run, especially if your mates get them and you have a springer. . . .

Good stuff! A museum that lets you hold their prized exhibits, kudos to them!

If you can find any, Tokyo Marui do/did a range of plastic spring pistols and a few rifles which are great for plinking, used to be widely available before the 2007 VCRA but they are hard to find in the UK now, and they don't have hop-up afaik, which limits them to short range, certainly no good as DMR's. Places like Airsoft World do a few other springers which may be what you're looking for, but its a brave soul who skirmishes with a springer!

Had a deactivated MK2 Bren and MK5 Sten back in the 90s. The Bren is a heavy beast. MK5 Sten am bestest luking one IMO, nice wooden stock and pistol grip (mine was 1949 dated iirc without the front detachable wood grip), wish I still had them!

Nice one TF!

Airsoft World are doing some metal receiver Combat Machines for £150 in run up to Xmas. Apparantly they guarantee it the best offer in UK. In black or Dark Earth with individualised serial numbers. Doubt they will be in stock for long though. Details were on their e-newsletter, can't link off my phone sorry!

Yeah that would make sense. 2 lots of protection to fall back on.

Yeah I thought it was good, obviously with the 2 for 1 offer (which seems to be on most of the time) it depends which glasses you buy as you pay for the most expensive. My glasses cost around £80 (so assuming half that is for second pair - ie prescription inserts = £40 if you see what I mean)If you go for their cheapest glasses then it would possibly cost less. Not sure what cost would be if you just wanted prescription lenses doing not on a 2 for 1 offer though.

Cheers for replies so far guys, yeah good point Chock about them not getting your card number by using paypal. Read a couple of threads saying Paypal don't cover anything airsoft related against loss though, not sure how true that is?

I have Guarder eye-pro with clip in prescription inserts, Specsavers fitted lenses to the inserts as part of their 2 for 1 offer when I was buying glasses so cost me about £40.

What do you use? Any protection benefits of using one over another you want to share? Problems you've encountered using either to buy rifs? Anything on the subject really!

Got an old pair of Mil-tec leather boots which are starting to show their age now, very comfy though and waterproof, and thinsulate lined, they may be cheap but have served me well. Picked up a pair of almost new american Wellco tactical boots (police issue?) the other week for a fiver from Denbigh Army Surplus, my son wore them at skirmish on Saturday, but had some ankle rub, seem on the small size in that area (he's skinny so no way they'd fit me lol!). I also have a pair of Karrimor walking boots though not had to use these for skirmishing . . . . as yet!

Or like n1ckh says, the ends on the fuse should pull off, just thread some 20A fuse wire across.

Airsoft World have them 25p each (though post will cost more). http://www.airsoftworld.net/aeg-replacement-fuse.html
