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.

I've reported the listing too. Hopefully eBay will pull their finger out and review the listing before the auction end. At least with PayPal there is some recourse for the buyer. I just hope the buyer is savvy enough to work out that what they've bought isn't legit. ☹️

As a paintball tank, it'll be fine for general sports usage such as paintball or airsoft. They are immensely strong, and I've not heard of many catastrophically failing other than when some idiot put 3-in-1 oil in the fill nipple at a paintball tournament (never, ever oil an HPA regulator kids). The tank launched itself like a rocket across the safe zone. How is he gonna send the tank would be my question. He'll need to remove the regulator first (which can be bitch to do without marring the anodising), even then RM/PF and other couriers hate the bottles as they are pressure vessels.

Are willy-licks a valid currency in lieu of a secret handshake on the forum? Asking for a friend...

@rocketdogbert Nice. Are they Aliexpress specials or sourced from elsewhere?

I saw the same advert on Discord a few days ago. Struck me as a Jeremy Clarkson wannabe.

A bit disappointing, this could have been put to bed once and for all. He's either: - Ignorant to everything in this thread, even with you tagging him - Keeping his head down to stay out of the inevitable shitstorm and not incriminate himself. - Aloof, and doesn't see the need to communicate with us as he believes that he's done nothing wrong and doesn't need to justify himself. At the end of the day though, until he's demonstrably broken the rules (which have since been tightened because of feedback on this thread), he can do what he wants, and if that means not talking on here and being part of the community, so be it. As the mods have said, posting elsewhere on the forums is not a prerequisite of use of the classifieds.

Thanks - I'll pick up a patch shortly. I honestly cannot think of a meaningful comeback to that. Well played, old chap, well played.

Out of interest, how does one became a supporter?

And the gauntlet is thrown down. This should be interesting.

That's a fair comment. I will point out that he seems to have many satisfied buyers (or you could argue 'customers'), that in itself is a good thing for the forum in my opinion. The better the collective reputation of the sellers on here, the more popular this forum will be. You can see that there has been work done to root out scammers with recent announcements and this very thread serves as checks and balances for those who sell on here. I know you think that he's spamming - but if he's keeping people happy and coming back to the forums looking for more, that's a good thing right? I mean he has more positive feedback and followers than you, me and @Adolf Hamster combined.
