There’s a PTS Mega Arms listed in the swaps section here under the name Deedee. If it’s confirmed dodgy can it be removed? I think this is another example of why we need a dedicated thread where these scams can be posted. Dodgy usernames and listings can be added and users can check through the post before buying. Just a thought.

Does it? That’s good to know. Does that include private sales or is it just business?

Skullchewer, he never asked me for UKARA or mentioned defence at all. Skara, the PayPal request was friends and family. I don’t mind paying f&f if it’s someone I know or has a decent reputation and it’s under £100, especially as PayPal won’t cover gun sales. But in this case I was never going to pay f&f.

Watch out for sales by Josh Suvekette/Lucas Perkins So the other night I saw a VFC Glock 17 with spare mag and holster for sale on Airsoft Nation for £50 under the name Josh Suvekette. Obviously, that’s a very low price and the picture, description weren’t the best, so I was on my guard when I messaged Josh. I asked him if the gun was still for sale and if he could send me some more pictures, providing my email. His reply was very short, basically yes it’s still for sale. I then immediately received a payment request from PayPal for £50 in the name of Lucas Perkins. Alarm bells started ringing, but I messaged back asking again for pictures with our names on a handwritten note and why was the PayPal request from a Lucas Perkins. He replied that it was his uncle's PayPal and when I pressed for more pictures he said it had sold. Today I’ve seen a post on Airsoft Nation from a guy saying he had bought the gun, but it wasn’t posted. When he chased this up with the seller he got a phone call saying “I’ve scammed you.” Apparently this seller has other items up for sale, so definitely one to be wary of.

Bog standard out the box TM or a “fully upgraded” one, work carried out by god knows who? I’m taking the standard one for half the price thanks.

https://prefired.co.uk/ads/mws-fully-upgraded/ 🤔 em, hang on a minute and I’ll get on to Switzerland and move some money around 😂 Twice the price of a brand new one, 4 extra mags, a Daniel Defence rail and a scope. But hang on, because it’s fully upgraded, so bargain.

Yeah, point made and taken onboard 😉🙂

I get the point that’s being made, and the prices on everything I’ve sold in the past and will sell in future are always a starting point and I’m not to proud to drop my prices if items don’t sell. Yeah, maybe £40 is more than some people are willing to pay for these and if they don’t sell I’ll change the price. But I’ve had some enquires about them already, so I’ll wait to see what happens. Offers are always considered and replied to on any of my sales.

It’s not a deceiving advert and there is no intent to deceive. The advert clearly states £40 each item, posted. A price has to be added to the post and it’s either put £40 or £120. Anyone who goes into that advert thinking they’re going to pick those 4 items up for £40 total, clearly has no idea of the value of the individual items. A quick scroll through the threads will show that items are regularly clumped together in one post with a price for one of the items on the main page. I’ve use this method often when selling multiple items and never had it questioned. It just shows the importance of reading an advert before looking to buy. £40 is a starting price. There’s usually negotiation in sales. Just because I can’t remember which brand they are doesn’t mean they’re cheap, nasty knockoffs.

Why, what’s the point of filling the classified thread with individual listed items when I can have them all in one post? Does it really make that much of a difference?

An unknown make L85 was found by Northumbria police on a tip in Gateshead recently. I've only seen a small picture, but it's described as and electric gun and appears to have a Susat attached. It's been seized and booked into lost property. I've spoken to the officer that seized it and he says there are no distinguishing features and he hasn't noticed any manufacturers markings. Anyone lost one recently let me know and I'll pass your details onto the officer. Obviously before collecting proof of ownership would be required.

I bought the 417 as my first brand new gun and it is awesome. But, it's quite bulky, has a bit of weight to it and the mags are quite big and cost a bit more than the 416/M4 mags. Also you'll need to buy specific pouches for the 417 mags as they will not fit into the smaller 416/M4 mag pouches. That said, I love my 417 and would only let it go for a gas 417.

Thanks for the advice lads. I think I'm looking more at Cyma again, I have heard some good reviews of their Ak's. I'll see what happens to the prices after Christmas. I've never used Gunfire before, but used TaiwanGun a few times and never been disappointed and their prices are always really competitive. I had been looking at the CM.040C, looking at something a little more tactical than the wood furniture, possibly with a Dboys GP-25. anyone had any experience?

I'm in the market for an AK74, nothing too expensive as it's mostly a collectors item with the occasional game play option, but I do want something that's going to work. I was going to buy a Cyma, Taiwangun have them for a reasonable price, but I've seen they also have APS blowback AK's for a little more than the Cyma. The APS externals look really nice, but I've seen mixed reviews on YouTube. On the other hand I've heard that Cyma AK's are really quite good. Has anyone got any experience of the APS guns and know if they're any good? It's not a make I've heard a lot about.

I've just noticed the wife's working on the 1st so I guess I'll not be going either, unless I can find a babysitter for the day. Here's hoping.

It's a good site. I'm a member, but don't get to go as often as I'd like. It's a woodland site, not huge, but definitely not small. Numbers vary from week to week, from 20s up to around 40s or 50s. There's a hard core of guys who go every game day and a regular bunch who come now and again. I'm in the now and again bunch due to family and work commitments. Everyone's very friendly and helpful, very ready to help out someone new. That said though, there is a lot of friendly banter. Facilities wise, there's an onsite shop, portacabin, where you can buy BB's and hire guns and the like. There's no toilet, but plenty of tree cover if needs be. Lunch is included in the walk on fee, Greggs sausage roll and beans, plus a cup of tea. Other than that you need to bring your own drinks and food as there's none on site and no shops nearby. The staff are happy to show people round on a game day if you're interested, but unsure, or you can just turn up, pay your fee and get stuck in. At the minute they're running games every two weeks over the winter period, but the rest of the year it's every week, always a Sunday. The next game is 1st Feb and I'm hoping I'm going to be there for that one. There's a Facebook page and a website with a small forum on. Someone will always answer any query you might have. In short, it's well worth coming along. You will have fun.

Thanks M_P, I think that's decision made.

Thanks guys. I think I may just buy the stock gun and replace the bits when they fail. As I said I'm more of a collector and don't get to play as much as I'd like because of family and work. So the chances are I'll only get to use it 3 or 4 times a year in between using my AEG's.

I'm intending to get myself a WE SCAR GBB in the next couple of months and I'm trying to decide how much to spend and where to get it from. At the moment Taiwan Gun have it on offer for around £160, plus postage. But Milspec Solutions do one with NPAS and I think an upgraded bolt for around £280. Although they are out of stock at the minute. I know I'll probably need to switch out the bolt carrier at some point, I've seen a bunch of reviews that say this will fail eventually, and an NPAS kit would be beneficial if I'm going to use the gun on game days. So the question is, is it worth getting the gun from Taiwan Gun and switching out the parts as they fail, or better to pay the extra £120 for the Milspec gun, when back in stock? Also, anyone who has a WE SCAR, on average how long will the stock gun last before bits start to fail? I'm more of a collector, than a full time skirmisher. Due to work and family I only get to play once or twice every few months, so I'm thinking Taiwan Guns may be okay. Any thoughts.

This is nothing to do with airsoft and will have no impact on our sport whatsoever. People get locked up for doing stupid stuff with airguns all the time and our sport is never mentioned. We are, for the most part, responsible, intelligent people who know what we are doing and what not to do. These people are inbred idiots who think it's funny to shoot someone with an air gun. I think we're safe for now.

Not with the Gas mate, I love the electric one. I might get the GBB in the new year.
