@JinxDuh £22 is an extremely good price from what I've seen others charging.

We need "bigclivedotcom" to give us a breakdown on that board 😃 (they've really pack in those surface mount resistors 😬 )

If I get some time this weekend I'll desolder the control board, plus break out my tactometer to get some RPM readings 
 

Mines going in the Mp5 once I sort out the feed issue

I've used LC's engineering for lots of engraving . They do the trades ( and machining) on my L119 builds , he also did the British trades on my Hi power.
 
Never have any worry about them going wrong, always just send the parts that need engraving rather than a whole RIF. Biggest issue is his waiting list.

I've found a 30w Raycus galvo fibre laser for a reasonable price.
Since most of my toys are the cheap non trades versions I would do my own first of course (after lots of testing 😁)
 
Yes, I would certainly only offer the service to others after extensive testing.
 
They do have a preview feature to make sure the placement is correct so I'm not worried about that.
Yeah, it would definitely be MUCH easier if people could disassemble the parts to be worked on.
No, I couldn't do curved parts.
 
Actually I think the hardest part would be making the pattern files for the various trades and logos.
(Does anyone know anywhere to download images or vector files for various trades?)
 
Thank you guys for your thoughts.
 
 

If you dropped into a hairdressing forum and said "I want to open a hairdressing shop, what's the best haircut?  PS, I have never cut hair before." what response would you expect?
 
Now, if you'd said "What's the best way to get into airsoft?" you'd have been love-bombed with advice about which sites to play at and which to avoid, what to expect, and people offering to meet up and show you the ropes or let you try out various types of gun.
 
Airsoft is actually a very friendly hobby full of mostly decent people who are keen to help other players out.  Give it a try first, find out what it's really like at its best and its worst, and then you'll be in a position to ask cogent questions if you still want to try running a site.

@Lozart woah, an AEG make-over.  Let me know how it goes and maybe post a video of before and after please xx

I'm upgrading my old G&G SCAR L. New compression parts (all XT - obvs), new XT 6.00mm barrel, changing the BTC Spectre for an Aster (because it's just easier to program) and the XT brushless motor to replace an old green Rocket high torque one. Breaking the cardinal rules of "only change one thing at a time" but hey, fuck it, living on the edge, right?
 

The best thing that you can do now is log off, create a new account and come back in with a different name and attitude.  In a very few posts, you have given most people here the impression that YOU are an utter prick.

Pull your neck in and try to accept that you are the problem here, not any of those who have responded to you.

Having a good look at the legalities would be a good start. Even 'playing' around the house or garden isn't straight forward. Even ignoring the potential loss of brownie points if you damage anything in the house, if yoiu can been seen by neighbours, the public etc you stand the risk of getting a visit from plod for waving a gun around in public. 
You also need to look at PPE for you and anyone else in the house. Getting a BB in the face can and has caused loss of eyesight as well as loss of teeth. 
 
This is why you are not getting gun recomendations. You have lots of other things to considder,which people are trying to tell you. honestly you are best off going along to a site and playing a few games with their rental kit before starting to look at buying guns.  For starters that will give you a chance to try a few and see what you like, it will also give you a grounding in the basic safety requirements. Yes airsoft guns are toys, but they are toys that can cause life changing injuries, range disciplin is vital. 
 
Listen to what folk are saying and considder the whole picture before running off to buy guns. Also if you don't want 2 toned guns you will need a defense , so play some games and get a UKARA. 
 
Everyone has a different idea of what are good guns, I love GBBRs and rarely use anything else, others will say they hate them  because they limited ammo etc, loafs will say go hpa ( I hate hpa with a passion) 
 
read the threads on here, there are plenty of ones discussing different makes , platforms etc.

@Rogerborg yep, I imagine rents and rates through the roof.  

Love how the article starts off "New Paintball Venue", then by the 3rd paragraph the author has already converted over to Airsoft 🙂
 

 
And what's a local Democracy reporter? lol....Jezzz BBC at it again.  So glad I cancelled my TVL.

That was a very enjoyable email....and I got a refund d as well.
 
 
As for the plans.....  I wonder how many of those dividing walls are structural?  Surely some could be removed/breached to make cut throughs.

I'm baffled by how the economics would make sense, if they're paying rent and rates.  The Depot 1.0 was set up as sports chaaaridy, which is the only way I can see it coming close to working.

Well after that article I’m calling it “Japanese paintball” from now on . 🤷‍♂️

I'd say you have the price wrong, too high.  You mentioned mosfet but don't mention what type? Plus the stock, red handguard and red receiver parts aren't really a crowd puller - a real acquired taste.  

You haven't listed what the base gun is. This will help to set a floor price, to which people will add what they think the parts are worth to them.
 
There's no correct price point for airsoft guns, especially modified ones. It's all about finding a buyer who wants exactly what you're selling. The more detail you provide, the more likely you'll find that buyer.
 
This is also not the best time to be selling. The market will be picking back up after Christmas, even a couple of weeks to get us into March might help.

If you're asking how much it might be worth, https://airsoft-forums.uk/forum/151-appraisals/
 
If you're actually looking to sell it: https://airsoft-forums.uk/classifieds/category/1-electric/
 
As above, how much you get offered is largely down to how much work you want to put in to describe exactly what's in there. You could spend £1000 on a gun and end up with something that performs worse than a stock CYMA.
 

@Cannonfodder you've been catfished 😃

@Cannonfodder you've been catfished 😃

That's the one
 
Bloody hell, I didn't know it was him and tbh if I had I probably would've gone elsewhere. I had the unlucky experience of being in his team for a short time and some of the bullshit that dribbled out of his mouth was unbelievable. I also was a victim of his "tech skills" and can confirm a drunk chimp could do a better job

Is it too late to upgrade it to a CYMA or Double Eagle?
