Super64

Yep, I noticed the issues, but knew you guys would get it sorted. Thanks for all your efforts.

It’s working for me, so I guess the the issues are sorted and it’s back up.

I wonder if the 320’s have the realistic fire in holster or fire when dropped function ?

Nightmare. I got an email from them on Friday telling me they had them and they had posted mine out. I received it on Saturday. I just assumed they had received a bunch and had sent them out, but they must have only got a couple in. I’m guessing they’re sending them out in order of who ordered first. Just waiting on my steel slide and barrel being delivered. They’re on there way from Sixmm, hopefully arriving in the next week or so.

As the suns out, I decided to get my HK’s out. All VFC GBB’s. I’m seriously toying with getting a G3 again to add to the collection.

I’ve had a couple of back and forth emails today while at work. It appears their stock levels were wrong. Showed 3 in stock, but actually had none. They’ve had to inform 3 of us today that the orders will be delayed. They did give me the option of a full refund, but as with LMKipper, I’m in no rush for it and I’ll wait as opposed to spending the extra cash. I’ve got some extra bits ordered that’ll take a while to get here. They’ve confirmed they have them on order and should be here within 2 weeks. Possibly earlier. This is the first time I’ve had issues with HPA, having ordered quite a few things from them. I’m quite happy with how they’ve dealt with the situation in the end, after being quite annoyed initially. It’ll not put me off buying from them in future.

I've received the same email. Annoyed is not the word. They were showing as having 3 in stock when I ordered mine on Saturday evening. I've noticed that cancelling the order and receiving a refund wasn't one of the options. I did reply initially saying to give me a full refund and I'd look to order from somewhere else, but I've since told them I'll just wait.

2 left now ? If you sign up for the HPA newsletter there’s a 5% discount. Ends up being £180, plus free shipping ?

Unfortunately, I don’t think the ACRO fits on those mounts. BFA do a steel mounting plate for the ACRO, so I guess I’ll need one of those.

Defcon has them in as well. I’m definitely intending to pick one up. Do you have an ACRO mount?

My VFC collection.

No longer required. Now getting sorted.

Yeah, that’s what I’ve been using, but it won’t budge. I’ve tried both ways and it’s not moving in the slightest. Which is making me think it’s locked on with some type of thread locker.

I’ve tried to replace the outer barrel on my VFC M16A2 with a dna steel one, but I’ve come to a dead end as I can’t get the original barrel nut and delta ring off. I think it’s possibly down to loctite, but I’ve already damaged the delta ring and barrel trying to get them off and don’t want to plough on and end up damaging the receiver. So I’m looking for someone who has the skills and tools to remove the original barrel and fit the new one. I’ve ordered dna delta ring set from WGC, so it’ll be a couple of weeks before that arrives. I’m looking for a tech with a decent reputation that people can recommend. I’m in the North East, but happy to post at my expense. I’d also like to get a Crusader suppressor and steel barrel fitted to my VFC MP5SD. It looks like the barrel needs some material removed, so probably need someone with access to lathe. Give me a shout with a quote if you think you can help. Thanks.

Yeah, you’re right. It is SRC. I thought there was a VFC one, but looks like I was mistaken. It’s difficult to keep right when everything gets labelled Umarex. I think I’ll just hang on for a GHK.

I’m guessing most people here are familiar with Black Hawk Down, so mine’s probably pretty obvious. But, for those that don’t know, Super64 was the call sign of Micheal Durant’s MH-60 Black Hawk during Operation Gothic Serpent, the second Black Hawk to be shot down, which then became the location of Gary Gordon and Randy Shughart’s heroic action. I’ve always been interested in aviation as well as military equipment, and I’ve always admired the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment. So, when I was looking for a username for the airsoft forums, Super64 just seemed to fit.

Has anyone been able to compare the GHK with the VFC Gen 5 MOS? If so, how do they compare? I’m torn between which one to get. I’ve watched a couple of reviews on line, but they all seem to be from stores, so it’s difficult to know how genuine the review is. The big plus for the GHK is the availability of a steel slide, which doesn’t seem to be an option for the VFC. But, VFC seem to be better shooting guns, especially compared the the previous GHK Glock.

Yeah, I’d be a bit hesitant as well if straight of the bat it was a case of, can you email me. Especially if it’s a new member, no, or very few posts and no feedback. Probably best to ignore those, or be very wary when dealing with them.

As someone who buys and sells on the forums quite a bit, I have done deals which have started out on the forum, but then moved to email. A few of my most recent sales have been done that way. There are a number of benefits to messaging back and forth via email. For me, it’s easier to read and reply to emails when at work or out and about than it is to keep going on line into the forum. Also, I find I can send more photos via email. I find that when I try to send a number of photos they’re often classed as too large, exceeding the data size limit. I make sure I do all my due diligence on the forum. Check the other parties forum history, feedback and make sure ukara and age are sorted, but there are benefits to using emails instead of forum messaging.

It’s a bit of a shame that they’ve abandoned the steel slide, but I’m guessing from a sales point of view, it’ll make it more competitive with the VFC and TM versions. I’m after an MOS Glock 17, so I’ll wait for some reviews on this before deciding whether to go with the GHK or the VFC. I’ll also have to weigh up the cost of the whole package, because I’ll be wanting a steel slide.

Unfortunately, there’s no specific details on the Facebook page. I know there’s some suggestion it was going to be an aluminium slide with a steel slide as an aftermarket. Also, from the picture, only Asia is getting the Cerakote. Which is a shame. And the mounting plate isn’t included. I would hope that would all be reflected in the price. With VFC also releasing a number of MOS variants, it’ll be interesting to see what’s the better option.
