I'm so sorry to hear about your loss Nigel.

The forum will not be the same without you - take care mate.

*edit* Stupid forum software - I only clicked the button once dammit!

Subtitles on video games for me. I struggle to play a narrative based game without them - currently revisiting Fallout 4 after 6-7 years and it's the first thing in the options that I enabled. 

TV/Movies, not so much.

Working on it! I've nuked a bunch of accounts throughout the day.

Paid with PayPal? File a dispute and call it done.

I think it is quite funny that British Chelsea tractors are seen as status symbols in Italy, of all places... 😜

I've nuked them. 

Had a few Bulldog bits, still use the ECU2 Trousers - had them nearly 10 years now. Bulldog LMR chest rig I had was well made - no complaints about it's contruction.

I think they at one point used the same OEM as Invader Gear as some of the stuff was near-identical in design. Not sure if that's still the case but the Invader Gear Reaper QRB looks very, very similar to the Kinetic - only differing in small details that could have been specified by the respective companies.

I would bet my left testicle that Bulldog is not UK Made. But it's decent enough kit - better than the normal Viper fare.

Used to use fogtech DX - which was ok-ish until one day it completely failed (high heat/humidity), and I couldn't see a damned thing most of the gameday.

Fans are the way to go - especially as I wear glasses inside a set of goggles. I wouldn't go back to wipes/sprays. Near as dammit zero fogging even on 30deg game days. Amazeballs.

At one point Ground Zero were handing out G&G GEC36s as their site guns. Pretty expensive way of equipping your site (at current prices), but they were best buds with G&G 'back in the day' so I assume they got them cheap. Rock solid G36 variant- seemed to be tougher than the indomitable JG G36. 

@Majestyk - pop it in the Boneyard section of the classifieds - it'll be a lot easier to sell as a complete(ish) boken gun than trying to strip, advertise, sell then post parts individually.

Agreed - I sold some Peltors ages ago and still get messages about them. I try now to edit the listing with SOLD in font size 72 before marking it as complete - at least when I remember to do so.

There is a forum feedback section - might be worth posting in there.

Q and Ed sold Ohshiboom back in 2018 I believe - with ownership being assumed by the parent company of Airsoft Direct.

Prior to selling - they were running the business alongside their full time jobs I believe.

Gotta admit, I've had a lump in my throat for the last hour since since the announcement.

What an amazing job she's done over the last 70 years.

Glad you had a great time mate - even with the injuries! 🙂

It was on the Discord Server - yes it was down.

@Cipher-032 Seems to be an issue for some of us. There is a thread about it here:

Never heard of the site until recently. Looks small in the videos I can find on YouTube, but with a 20 player cap it looks like it could be loads of fun. Post up a review once you’ve been! 

Funnily enough just got back from the Z1 showroom. There was a wood-furniture MG on display but I didn't pay much attention TBH.

Some of their pricing is just mental. If a UK distributor doesn't set a MAP for a product, they seem to just google other UK vendors prices and add another 15-20%.

Wears paintball goggles in profile pic - gets tooth shot out.....

Have you tried penetrating oil around the hop unit/outer barrel? Won't do the hop rubber much good if it seeps in, but it might help the metal-on-metal parts free up.

I wonder if there's some galvanic corrosion between the barrel and hop unit. Do E&L use steel outer barrels? I had an E&L for a short time but never checked the barrel.

I would use an old inner barrel, maybe cut down a bit, insert muzzle-end and gently, but rapidly tap the inner barrel/hop backwards with a small hammer to break the hop/outer barrel seizure at least.

Seems to be quite prolific at the moment, along with the recent disgruntled former member posting gay porn. Any plans to appoint additional Moderators @Jedi_Master?

@Shamal Yep - I'm booked in for tomorrow, did the online disclaimer thingy too.

Do you know what time the gates open? Was planning to get there around 8:30ish.

@Shamal Got my permission slip stamped by the missus so I'll be there to pop my Bunker cherry. 😁

It'll be the first time in 5 years I've been to a site without an 'entourage' of either my two boys or 'hanger-ons' I end up normally taking.
