My Cyma CM650A (SR47) for £85 arrived today, courtesy of the Patrolbase sale. I bought it as a cheap loaner. But I like it, I like it a lot. I might end up using it a lot more than I originally intended.

There were some cracking deals to be had on Patrol base. £85 for a Cyma CM.650A/SR47? Oh go on then...mine arrives Thursday. I even had consent from the missus. There were a few Specna Edges for £70 - £100, which was worth it just for the external parts. Nearly added one to the order, but the missus would only let me buy the one gun.

Yeh, I said the same thing on his status update. A cheap T6 single-mode drop-in can be had for £6-7 quid off eBay. Problem is the current shipping situation from China.

D’oh! I got mixed up, you are correct, it’s Gunfire I got the message from. Still relevant to the thread though.

Just got an email from *edit* Gunfire. They will only fulfil orders over £135 from 1st January onwards. No reason given in the email or updated T&Cs.

So it sounds like we have a trade deal. Hopefully that still means cheap pew pews from Poland in the new year - once all this Covid stuff is sorted.

What warranty do you get from a UK airsoft company...? A cursory look at Negative Airsoft's videos will reveal the 'quality' of most UK Warranty 'repairs'. I would rather fend for myself and save the cash at the point of purchase.

Problem is, many UK retailers use the likes of TaiwanGun (AKA Krakman) in a wholesale capacity - UK prices will likely go up as well.

From Facebook:

Yeh - I miss that site, it was only 7min drive from my front door. I only ever played it when under GZ management though - but I had many good times there.

There's still a couple about if you know where to look.....?

It should be great for nearly £70. Would a £9 CTR clone and a Dremel not achieve the same thing?

Have we done this one yet?: You won't find this gun in the UK! You will find it in Poland though.... TaiwanGun: Base gun £153 'A5' Stock £16 Knockoff CTR Stock £10 Kublai PMags £8 each Vert Grip £7 Total: £202 This guy wants £240 (No Offers! Collection only) - So those H&K stickers must be totally worth the extra £38...

Sweet mother of god...why? Why spray the upper black? Why fit all those 'upgrades' and most importantly, why expect someone to stump up SEVEN HUNDRED-odd quid for it!?! [/Rant Over] Funnily enough BigBirdAirsoft just done a review of a TM Scar NGRS on the Tube of You. Made a point of saying that it's amazing out of the box and the low FPS affects nothing at all. Then says he fitted a stronger spring and waffles on about fitting a Gate Titan. Then says he fitted a Prommy nozzle and Edgi barrel and a R-Hop. The gun shoots amazing apparently, but had a Semi lockup so bad that full-auto wouldn't clear it and the gun needed taking apart to release the ARL. I like his reviews normally but I couldn't wrap my head around that one.

Personally, I couldn't care less how you spend your money. If you want to be decked out in gucci RS kit and happy to drop a grand or two 'upgrading' your tupperware death cannon - kudos. I've got a decent job and could head down that path if I wanted to, but it's just not for me - my £150 guns get the job done just fine. I'd rather spend the money on hookers and cocaine. I do find it funny (and this is not aimed at you) that there are a number of people with 'all the gear but no idea'. Happy to flex the credit card on 'upgrades', but making the square root of fuck all difference when it comes to in-game performance, indeed more often than not making things worse. Don't worry, my jokes used to be aimed at PTW users back in the day, when Systemas were de rigueur and cost far more than a TM. The 'bestest gun evar' a guy at a skirmish site tried to convince me once. Of course he had to send it off to Tackleberry and spent another £500 on 'upgrades' just to make the thing work properly.

No no, I actually meant TM NGRS/MWS users. Take from that what you will. It was a slightly tongue-in-cheek joke ribbing those who have a penchant for buying expensive TM guns and spending lots more money on upgrades. No malice or jealously - I just find it funny. Airsoft, after all, is just LARPing with toy guns. But no matter how much you spend, it's still only a toy.

I would say that this is a classic case of upgrade-itus - pouring large sums of money into pointless shiny things....just because. (I shall refrain from passing comments about TM users in general ?) I would also say that the the crack was because the seller fitted a 7.62 Rail onto a 5.56 pattern rifle. The 7.62 rail mount has an extra 'lump' on the bottom which would clear the front of a 7.62 pattern receiver upon opening, but perhaps not so on a 5.56.

I know. I should have made my mild sarcasm a little clearer. But it's been done to death now - he's acting within the forum rules, and the Mods have tacitly acknowledged this. Rules have been 'tweaked' to reduce the number of sale items due to the feedback on this very thread. Until the Mods decide to implement a minimum (non-classifieds) post count like Arnies (which is a bad idea IMO), he's here for the long run. No point going over the topic ad-nauseam.

He started a thread about a potential scammer a couple weeks back didn't he?

Another more expensive than new...but it's OK, it's been re-shimmed and got blue bits. Totally worth the £45 more than TaiwanGun. ?

Yeh. It's a bit steep. They are only £130 new delivered from TaiwanGun in...ahem...proper colours.

£30 second-hand for an £18 hop unit. Bargain.

Just had a quick perusal of Milspecs FB page. Wow. Just...wow. It's like watching a freight train derail in slow motion.

I ordered one of the PVC ones - still got to wait a few weeks for those. The embroidered ones look great though.
