  1. Just had an 18airsoft order priced up from the 18th  to purchase after Christmas go from £7 delivery to £69 - any idea what the fuck is going on? Lmao

      I suspect £7 was a system mistake, that's way too cheap for UPS.  Stick with e-express.  Send Fiona over at 18airsoft a message, she might be able to give you a small discount.  She speaks great english and is always super helpful.

      got to be a mistake, what was in the basket?  Generally 2kg via e-express is around 35usd

  3. @ak2m4 with another Christmas miracle!

     

    Ordered some internals for my latest project, not expecting to see them until after Christmas, when they arrived about 15 minutes ago!

    Excellent service as usual 😀

     

    Now, the postman who's seemingly unable to work a doorbell is another matter!

    Had to quickly put on some shoes and chase him down the road before he disappeared! 😂

  4. Booked a redelivery with Royal Mail to deliver to my local post office for today. I'm in the house when they shove another red slip through my letterbox instead without knocking.

      No doorbell?  I've known RM staff to not knock if there's no doorbell lol

      oh wow, I didn't realise they weren't standard opening times, that is crazy indeed.

      Oh and you're right, depot opening hours for collection is f**king ridiculous.  It never used to be this bad, only in the last couple of years.  They really don't want people turning up at the local depots.

      ah right that's what i was thinking.  A lot of retailers use small parcel service as standard even for products that would fit through the letterbox, partly due to reduced fraud and packages that accidentally get posted through the wrong letterbox, about 1 in 1000 for me.  I always use large letter where possible, I've even tried to source small parcel boxes that fit into letterboxes but you just can't find them.  Large Letter with RM is fucked up though, 25mm whereas a letterbox is 38mm.  They could make things a lot easier but they don't.

  9. I know I probably posted this last time, but I'm always amazed at Japanese efficiency. Ordered a barrel from Orga on Saturday and it just arrived today, all the way from Japan!

      Might grab one myself to see what the internal surface is like - they never mention stuff like this in the description, interesting to see a widebore / 6.23mm is like.

  12. Any idea when you're getting the J-cage bearings back in stock bud? Turns out the CYMA bushings are a bit too shonky for SHS 13:1s..

    1. ak2m4

      ak2m4

      Some bushings / bearings sometimes require a little bit of retaining compound or glue to hold them in place.  With bearings if you try to force fit them you can damage their structure quite easily.

      I am testing for some now but I really recommend going for bushings if your having shimming issues

  14. Talk me out of buying a thermal please 😭 

  15. Been a bit ill recently so apologies for delays in any replies. 
     

    Also have had a load of positive stops for pp2ks. Will test fit one tonight so if anyone wants one please let me know.

  16. wish there was a way to check if my ukara is still active.  I requested an extention, and got the affirmative from the site.  but no email follow up to say it was done.  Risky to buy from hong kong without knowing

      yeah man, it sucks indeed.  

  17. Fresh CYMA 'ZEUS' v2 mosfet to fix up a friend's CM.009 M733, had it apart and had a nightmare shimming it, ten hours later and it's working - only for the solder on the positive wire to detach the moment I disconnected the battery 😅, can't beat it.

      Sounds pretty respectable, we've all been there with the motor tabs.  Industry could definitely use some innovation in that area.

  18. Going to be a bit quiet on the forum for a time.  Had a motorcycle crash at Brands Hatch and currently in hospital.

    So please forgive if it takes a while to respond to messages.

    Of course engraving service isn't possible at the moment.

  20. Order from WGC has "arrived" but unsure if I'm supposed to go and pick it up from the parcel force depot or if its being delivered? Received email from WGC saying its ready for pick up. image.png.1441eed610d864b98824716639530aa2.png

      Parcel Force's custom payment system is a little slow, they generally wait till they have the package then they send out a letter with the 16 digit code in which you can then pay online - this can add an extra 5 days onto the shipping time.  What you can do is phone them up when you see the package at the local depot and then ask for the reference code and pay.  Why they don't just give you this information is beyond me.

  21. I've seen a few adverts on here lately stating that a defence is required and will be checked. Thinking about UKARA, how can an individual check it? I always thought that you couldn't, that it was only for actual retailers.

      @Chopper92 an IT friend did some work on a system, knew the ins and outs of GDPR etc, was also a security bod, but he found a lot of "issues" from the community and decided it just wasn't worth the time and effort involved.   was a shame as I thought it was looking pretty good.

  22. So I know Ares guns are bad but I thought to myself "surely. even they cant fuck up a handguard" so I got one of their octa arms mlok ones off their website..... they sent me the wrong length.... >_> ffs Ares.... 

    1. ak2m4

      ak2m4

      yes that's the place, I did speak to the guy and he said he's be up to trying out some type of drop-shipping with the handguards.  I'm speaking with him tomorrow.  Will need to work out the shipping times etc but it could be a good way of getting these into the UK.

      @The_Lord_Poncho could it be they're two different threads?  

      I've got a contact in China who makes rails but finding hard to sell since selling via stores like Aliexpress is now forbidden.  I was thinking about offering to get them drop-shipped.  Not sure if worth the time and effort, are people still looking at buying different rails?

  24. Took down my first V2 today, swapped over the knackered compression parts from my UTR's jam and even tried my hand at reshimming - and it works! Made up, honestly - thought it'd be a disaster but I'm absolutely buzzing - chronoing tomorrow to see how much it's jumped up!

    1. ak2m4

      ak2m4

      thanks, yeah the compression set is great at bringing aeg's back to life.  Springs are a little more tricky to get right for sure.
