maybe they charge 15 Euro or something not quid just over a tenner ain't too bad considering UPS from Poland but was free & still is @ GunFire if ya spend 60 or 70 Euro maybe they noticed a drop in sales from last month understand they gotta make a profit & VAT is higher in Poland - think 23% but lets hope they can do free ship on say 150 Euro and I may be adding more guns n crap i don't really need - kudos anyway for reduction in shipping now €13,72 or €13,74 if ya in Ireland

yup is where I have entered my UKARA & my local site reckon about half the time they put the info on outside of UPS box (might have been all the time but not always noticed it) on the plus side - you still got a decent starter AK for a good price and if you look at all the UK sites think we have all had problems too LWA sold my FireHawk I paid for but I have done ok with AirsofWorld & Zero One but others have not been so lucky - so I guess nobody is perfect

dat iz a pi$$er I mean buy gun, buy spring & £15 extra to fit & ship would be well worth it doubt if they would of just cut old spring especially if ya bought a m100 I know for "some" guns, think I have seen on a couple of spring snipers they give ya option of say 330 or 450/500 spring maybe a SVD as they easy to change in a few mins (often you may get both springs especially as SVD use normal AEG springs) but yeah bit of a pi$$er being given the impression they can fit it paying for extra spring & delivery to be told it is being/been shipped already Most likely that will be hitting about 375-ish on stock spring - I gotta drop mine down but I am having enough " fun " with M4 / ver 2 g/boxes atm to even look at my AK47

look good to me, how site friendly are there coz some sites can be really really funny (think they want you to buy from their shop than bring ya own) only thing I can see at first glance if the pipe clip might dig in ya or catch but dunno if anything else would be as secure when running around unless you mess around with pockets/flaps/velcro but wouldn't be as good as them clips think I've seen some of your posts on these - very clever stuff forgive my ignorance - but you got any pics/video of these in action ??? coz not sure what they like in use - bit of fizz/pop or boom christ wtf was that ?

I'm having a similar nightmare too...... got a g/box with quick change spring - built it with a short stroke 2 teeth removed so in effect roughly looking at what many say: aprox 15fps per tooth ya lose or 45mm travel reduced to 39mm travel (2 x 3mm teeth) = think that is about 87% less travel cylinder has double o ring head - piston head is also double o ring, SHS o ring sealed nozzle (this mofo has some good seals etc...) had nothing but nightmare after nightmare - switch/trigger problems still AR is not working correctly but just recently got it firing of a sort anyway had I think a 110 in there and got 330fps - sounds about right 360 down to 330 on short stroke popped a 100 in there expecting 300-ish.... 360 & 359 - WTF ???? is my original spring really a m90 or most likely that 100 SHS out of box is a friggin 120 or something (don't think I have used/mixed up) either that or I am bloody effecient at building boxes - nah deffo not but now I am wondering wtf is going on thought I would do this for a laugh to confirm what to expect and if it all works out to what I have read Eventually have a rough idea of what to expect with what springs & short stroke 2 or 3 teeth etc..... 5 mins ago it seemed to kinda work out to what I was expecting but now this m100 or m120 has got me wtf??? so now gotta look at tidying up the box/setup and then try some other springs ffs to see if that 100 is a 120 thought I would be this as a tester rig and throw something together quick - test some springs out get some figures to work with and finally once box was running sweet use the QC box for say a DMR build but had nothing but grief after grief after grief getting her going and now this wrong labelled spring prob too jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez - keep calm n all that

Good on ya - great they offer spring change - that is worth £15 any day in my book I got the 28a and well impressed for such a cheap gun, 7mm bearing g/box etc.... price inc lame battery - yup AK's are a bit ugly/clumsy or less ergonomic than M4's but gotta show some respect for these old russian mofo's Even got a few empty shells from a m8 with firearms license to consider hammering an empty shell on charging handle which is a real mod used on the real thing they say you get a 10% discount code for use next time but only for stuff not on special/sale price They do ship stuff quickly so there is a fair chance with srping change you might get it in time for next weekend & will get a chrono result test too on all guns they flog If they get their shipping charges sorted a bit lower/realistic I will be buying more but atm gone a bit too mad lately so is a good reason to ease up on my collection

Electric = CYMA usually Glock CM030 - fires at about 200fps but has full auto GAS - either Green Gas (propane) or CO2 CO2 is a bit more powerful than GG - aprox 450-500fps Vs about 330fps for GG pistols cheaper pistols are non-blowback from about £35 for cheapy non-blowback & you can pay over £100~£150+ for top of range blowback pistol not tired this one but has the option of buying a CO2 mag as well as standard Green Gas mag https://jdairsoft.net/asg-cz-p-09-duty-inc-case CO2's are a little too "hot" or powerful to use at most sites being that a fresh CO2 bulb can be firing at say 550+ at first - coming down to about 400-ish after a dozen or so shots, should get say 2 or 3 mags out of a CO2 cartridge before it needs changing - but depends on mag/gun also blowback pistols will use a little bit more gas due to blowback action GG pistols are a little less powerful and can be used for skirmishing at airsoft sites CO2's will need a little modification to lower the power as you may just be using for backyard plinking then very little of this really matters I guess if you was gonna be using the pistol a lot - quite a bit at sites then GG pistol & propane adapter maybe if you can find a HFC 104 or 105 GG or CO2 version if you are really lucky & low budget CYMA CM030 will be about double that price aprox & top blowback gas pistol would be even more but as you may be using it for the odd target practice then either of the 3 types would do there is the spring versions but most here use spring snipers or shotguns not pistols one more thing that I failed to mention - Gas guns can suffer from cold & leak as you in Scotland it might be worth looking at cyma cm030 as it will operate in cold but CO2 is "slightly" less prone to failure than Green Gas I think but still can fail (All gas stuff can fail with seals - it is a weakness they all have) but electric pistols are way down on power but will be fine for your targeting range/distance

I was thinking about about another small/medium order for some parts/accessories..... (gotta stop buying new toys n fix up some of the ones I got) but either will look at GunFire as they got better range of parts & free ship or will hold off (bank/credit card is screaming at me to hold off but voices in my head say otherwise) Alas you always want what you can't/shouldn't have I tell the kids (but really as missus says I am the biggest most expensive kid of them all) UPDATE - just placed a £50 or just over 70 Euro order at Gunfire for some bits and apart from free GLS I had option of FREE UPS delivery too - clicked on that Free UPS & some more points - think 70pts gives ya free shipping on a really small order so soz TaiwanGun - bought elsewhere & saved a few bob on shipping

Woahhhh - it look like it HAD loads of shags or a product of loads of shags at a firearms orgy bit of L85 AK in there - even if the end looks like a bird's nipple - but it has a little bit at end of barrel very strange looking weapon but not as strange as them spoilers lose the handle and it might actually be ok - odd but ok (bit like me)

yes I know its a bullpup - but just saying it ain't got much sticking out AUG L85 - even MTAR21 has a little bit more barrel on it I never said it was crap or hideous - just with its futuristic look it looked well to me that it could of done with a bit more barrel suppose a silencer/flash hider change might be possible if it has ccw me personally I like a little more barrel at front but not mega long bare barrel on my stuff (SVD & 1 or 2 others exception but prefer shorter/medium length barrels showing) Just saying that was my first impression - looked like it needed a bit more length (no smutty comments) Not bad looking - doubt if I would buy - looks plastic and a little bit fell off to me like I tried to explain

Don't look too bad - future weapon - but a change from M4's I guess BUT can't help but think somebody fitted a too short barrel - next to no barrel or final piece of 2 part outer barrel fell off as they took out of their gun bag Damn my groupings are crap today - wtf where is the rest of me gun gone ???

COD is brill & crap - depends on your own personal choice I liked BLOP's 1 - guess coz I found it easier for a noob to get back into much slower than MW - MW2 was great even just on spec op missions (favela juggernauts - crazy stuff) Loved Black on orig xbox/ps2 & even earlier was MOH on psx - jeez Alas never got into PC gaming really - unless you count Doom/Wolfenstein oldies But these days the general thought is online gaming or it ain't "proper" gaming luckily - there are so many games you are bound to find something you enjoy (even if others think your choice of game is crap)

or make a pair of nunchuks from 2 x soaps on a rope bruce "Bottledtorment" lee then kicks chuck norris a$$ - again apart from the time chuck norris threw a grenade & killed 50 people and THEN IT EXPLODED !!! soz enough chuck norris jokes - back on topic

well started to cut/bend/shape whilst at work and thought about plastic being better than steel (plastic won't scrape on AR like steel would when removing the clamp) Then saw Samurai's nifty little trick, yup them earth magnets bloomin' work well tried two 15mm one just recently when I got home and that AR latch seems to stay put many thanks for passing on that handy tip sir.... Ah well maybe by crude little clampy thing might come in handy if trigger decides it wants to bust loose but usually them triggers behave themselves a bit better than AR's All the same a quick pic to show my idea - obviously it needs trimming and plastic - could use almost anything (old credit/loyalty card or the card you get with a new sim so to speak) might still come in handy for trigger as they are alloy/non-magnetic perhaps but deffo can confirm magnets work brilliantly Dunno if this magnet may make lever or stuff slightly magnetic but doubt if that is a real bad thing now all I need to figure out is a way of compressing spring and holding that in place and I get both hands back but for now that AR trick is a real blessing - thanks again

yeah about the AR latch - me thinking I might get some metal strapping tape from work (steel pallet strapping tape aprox 15mm x 1mm thick) make that up into a U or n shape to clip onto box and offer some thin clamp on that mofo then I might get one of my hands back maybe and could to help hold that down, watch that, careful now, mind that don't move, keep pressing - hang on BOOOMMMM - ah FFS not again well that was an idea about a small short metal clip made up to help keep AR in place thin enough to get box together but might just about be strong enough to keep AR in check Love to see how these chinese/taiwan peeps do it - must have some thin little levers/devices to hold it together I mean even experienced workers making these up day after day must use some stuff to make life easier and even if you get a m8 to help - 3 or 4 pairs of hands might seem like a good idea but you can't see $hit when you try to check if its all aligned etc.......... still enjoying this learning curve - atm, but have come close once to throwing a box down the garden

Some people are so good at what they do they make it look it easy As been pointed out it isn't quite so easy - atm my failure/grief ratio is still very high but learning all the time - still losing bits but not as many as first time when gearbox exploded as I first took it apart - BOOOOOOM - wtf ????? My 2 main areas seem to be either trigger switch system not 101% correct on semi or the friggin piston decides to jump off the rail and just twist slightly at last minute which means the first plastic teeth shred when you test it - arrrggghhhhh plus usual Anti Reversal latch not working correctly if you manage to get back in ok (I'm sure that sod was designed by some evil sadistic son of a 8itch) But still usually enjoying the learning curve - crying at the time it don't go right but if push comes to shove a new box is about £50 if you really screw up Oh and one final thing - TM compatible is not 101% guaranteed I am finding out some bits do work as direct replacements, some need a slight modification and others just really won't work in some cases/boxes and so you need to transplant some bits from old & new - jeeeeeezzzzzz yeah don't think I am gonna make a Dual Sector Gear box or a super duper high speed short stroked mofo box just yet - rather never at this rate but good to see most admitting it ain't quite as easy & simple as we all first think getting this wisdom & experience takes time but I ain't giving up - not just yet

Looks friggin amazing site & congrats on the work getting it all ready.... A little too far for me to go on a regular basis but if we ever manage to get a Southern meet up going or the Southern Turkey shoot perhaps - then that could one hell of place to consider.... Little far but would love to give it a go if we can get a date/event organsied I wish you well but think that place will be amazing without me needing to wish you luck slightly envious of anybody living closer to that place

indeed: JustBBGuns - 9mm blanks for BFG £15 for 50 or £13:50 with 10% code BBGuns4Less - used to do 10k of them crappy .12g bb's for about £15 (crap for general use but ideal if trigger happy/suppressing fire using a drum/box mag) The above do free shipping for about £50 or £60 orders OnlyBBGuns - maybe the better of the 3 - did a nice cheap CO2 pistol for £30 free shipping on all stuff (£27 if using RC10 10% discount but been out of stock a couple of months - non-blowback of course) or if you really really had to buy a cheapo 2-tone gun maybe - and really say MAYBE you could perhaps consider this: http://www.onlybbguns.co.uk/airsoft/refurbished-airsoft-guns-refurb=101.html?product_id=1024#.VEDkuxbqfIU now this refurb and absolute horrible orange but supposed to have a metal gearbox and about 300fps for £72 del if RC10 voucher is still valid then you could get it for under £65 delivered - still pig ugly an no way as good as G&G but I have bought a LOT LOT WORSE than that - don't mention B500A1 as it is deffo not fantastic according to JambWow (you can tell when chubby from JustBBGuns is telling lies - his lips are moving and nothing but pure bull$hit is coming out of his mouth) I still recommend getting G&G from £100 upwards - built better, last longer and you won't have the pi$$ taken out of you if you take to a site buy any old cheapo crap from a " BB " site and you WILL regret it like most of us have (plus the pi$$ taken out of you and you end up getting owned by superior guns leaving you with nothing but the right hump) But majority of stuff on there is crap and think we have all learned the hard way

please please please avoid looking at any " BB " site 90% of the stuff you might think of buying is $HIT !!!!!! (might be 99% but 9% good stuff is out of stock) as a general rule get a cheap G&G is most likely your safest bet

TWA Urban is gone - lost it around May and still no urban replacement TWA Woodland - Addington - bottom of gravel hill Most people using public transport use tram to the tram/bus terminal and TWA do offer a pick/drop off service for about £3 from there to site I think Or failing that lmk if/when you going and will see if I can give ya lift from tram/bus terminal £20 full or £10 half day walk on - (no lunch included for full day walk on) BB's £9 per 5k .20g's - think .25's are £11 was SRC but recently started using BAW brand ALL GUNS ARE RUN THROUGH CHRONO - they are very serious about this n safety (they do still run with a relaxed atmosphere but are serious about safety & all that) Fair mix of regulars with some newcomers & hirers Yup you get the odd non hit-takers mainly noobs/hirers/kids but you get that with nearly all sites Very few people taking this way too seriously or bitching about defeat so it is for me a good cheap "fun" but safe all-round site not perfect & not the be all n end all ultimate experience site (might try Sandpitt Darford one day but think I will wait a while for the more serious skirmish sites) But for me the Woodland site is where I recently got my UKARA and above all is only 5/10 mins from me so that alone does go a long way I guess... Son normally goes full day every fortnight & I tend to try and go half day at least once a month if I can (old fart me just can't keep up with you youngsters - knackered even doing half day) Not a bad site - cheap & on my doorstep and they play on Saturday's as opposed to Sunday's (so could still go to Epsom Bunker or Sandpit if they was on that weekend) next game is this Sat 18th I think

Bear in mind that most AEG guns are too hot from TWG & GF So that £15 extra for posting is now £20 for you to receive it & use it with lower spring etc... (yes still needed to change spring on most aeg's when it was free but £15 is a bit steep to me) This may be also due to Dollar / Euro / GBP exhange rate - a few months ago it was nearly $1:80 to £1 now I think it is about $1:65 but Euro is still fairly good @ about 1:26 Euro to £1 aprox ll this exchange rate will have an impact on many things but still to slap on £15 unless you go nutz with £250+ order well - I will be looking at GF first - yup I can afford £15 but doesn't mean I won't notice £15 out of my wallet (i'm not that rich)

Croydon - Surrey, cheapy local TWA and have been to Epsom Bunker - dark is an understatement Not tried Bunker 51 - seemed a tad dearer and Woolwich getting on a bit plus midweek nights can't do coz shift worker my son is the more serious player, me I am just the one that goes along to have fun & be the decoy etc.. hence the name welcome all airsofter's, even though everybody else thinks we are nutters with toy guns

Luckily I had a big spend in Sept but mr B said about this over the weekend in staus/comments true enough they seem to have started to charge from around 1st October..... £15 for orders under £300 - FFS have emailed them saying GunFire don't charge for 69 Euro order often GF are a tiny bit cheaper and still offer loyalty points too my only gripe with GF was they can be a bit slower than TaiwanGun to ship TaiwanGun were brill - and offered 10% off anything not on sale if you order reg - monthly 10% voucher code But this latest stunt of £15 is a bit ott in my book - GF think charge about half that if under 69Euro ok this GF free shipping was with GLS but did offer free UPS I think if order was £150 aprox I think They are both good - GF a bit bigger/cheaper but TaiwanGun had some good deals and stuff GF didn't carry/stock Really think TaiwanGun should of be offering free shipping on 100 or 150 Euro - 300 Euro is a bit ott time will tell if it has an impact on sales of 1 or 2 cheap gun orders or 1 gun & spares I said that this may be a little unwise as me & others may look towards GunFire first from now on - especially for small orders Luckily I'm ok - but still a bit of a pi$$er for those who missed out, 15% off @ GF has just ended but no doubt they will do another crazy offer soon and we shall see how TWG responds to the competition

No worries - to be totally honest you could spend a few bob on metal receiver/front end when you don't really need to just yet and end of the day will look same and only you know it was metal now and not plastic ok it won't have CM on side but most wouldn't know out on the field... for the money spent on cosmetics (£200) think about a spare maybe and some bits if you really get into it later down the road say after a year or so then maybe you could spend some money on getting a full metal higher end aeg if you wish eg: £250 to £450 by all means look at some tweaks for your cm18 - rubber and maybe new hopup chamber if still not happy but like many upgrades in many things - cars/pc's/aeg's there comes a point when you may be better off selling your Ford Focus and buying a car already setup to do crazy 0-60 or 140mph+ buy a few hopup rubber or buckings first BEFORE you take it apart - you may split the old green G&G one watch a few vids - you got a rear wired aeg so should be straight forward to change heck you may find it isn't seated/operating correctly but get a couple of spares first - £5 to £10 aprox set aside some time and space and give it a go - seriously an effective hopup is where you should see improvement
