    Also can we just ban Avenger63 now please? Its clear he is operating essentially as a retailer not a private seller

     

    Playing devils advocate: what exactly has he done wrong? I mean specific rules he has broken? The mods have already said previously that he has, by and large, operated within the forum rules:

     

    To be clear, I've never bought from, communicated with, or met the guy.

    So I don't end up on here ? How much would you guys say I should put up my totally stock Silverback SRS 20" A1 Sport for? Only used it twice just didn't get on with it. Thanks ?

     

    Post it up in the Appraisals section: https://airsoft-forums.uk/forum/151-appraisals/

    I still own this p90, the plastic has not aged well, was made from an old toytec version that Den had butchered, only issue was having to have a battery bag strapped to the side.

     

    Whoa, that is cool.

     

    I mean I know it wouldn't stack up against modern stuff (although it uses a V3 GB?), but when I saw that on DenTrinity what must be 20+ years ago, i thought it was the coolest thing ever.

     

    I would never own a P90 now, but back then I would of had one in a heartbeat. Because I was young and liked watching Stargate.

  3. It's a tough one. I've sold guns before to people with elapsed UKARAs or 'other' defenses (dun dun DUN!), but I knew those people from various interactions and other (non RIF) sales, seen pictures/videos of them playing, and have been long-established on the forums.

     

    Would I ever do the same to a zero-post new guy (or girl)? No way.

     

    (note - I'm aware my post count on here is relatively low - I migrated from the Z1 forums a little while back)

    I see a lot of people, especially speedsofters/cqb players using their middle finger on the trigger. Is that actually faster than using your index?

     

    It can be for some - when I played paintball with mechanical guns (Autocockers), I was faster shooting with my middle finger than my index.

    £400 for a  supposedly rare G&G AKs-74U  that can be found at softairgames  for  € 269  https://www.softairgames.net/en/ak-dragunov/19327-electric-rifle-gks74u-full-metal-real-wood-ak74u-gg-gg-rk74-u.html 

     

    And then Icing on top the "upgrades" installed mean that if you fire the AK on full auto  for more then a short burst you break 

    the gun.   

     

    Cost them £470 in total but happy to let you have the dumpster fire for £400

     

    Rather buy a brand new £130 Metal CYMA AK from TaiwanGun, throw £100 of parts at it (Motor, hop bucking, MOSFET etc) and end up with a gun that performs the same, if not better. Then I would use the £170 to buy another CYMA AK as a backup gun (because why not?), and still have some money left over.

     

    I love this bit: The guns lever has been welded back on and dip coated. Doesn’t effect guns play.

    You can actually use rubbing alcohol to take the paint off? I never thought of doing that! Will it not affect the original paintwork or the plastic grip or the plastic stock?

     

    Fairy Power Spray used to be really good for getting krylon off but i heard they've changed the formula. It was also safe enough for plastic. As long as the original paint was decently applied in the first place, you could get a gun roughly 'back to black' - although not factory fresh.

     

    Personally, for a TM 416, I would have it stripped to bare metal and sent for Cerakote.
