As previously mentioned, it could be currency fluctuation. I've seen the prices go up and down a few quid each way quite a few times on TG. I've no idea how frequently they update their conversion rates - it could be a built into their shops back-end system to pull the spot rate automatically.

TG stock a lot of stuff that’s not readily available from UK suppliers, so for me cost is a lesser issue, it’s about having choice of products. For example, they have the CYMA blue edition MP5K in stock, which I’ve yet to see here in the UK. Handling fees are annoying, but it’s the import duty that will be the kicker, if it’s charged at all.

Taiwangun are not charging Polish VAT on sales to the UK. All the prices have been dropped by 23%. UK VAT is chargeable at import, collected by the carrier. Not sure about the duty side of things as to whether it is chargeable under the free trade agreement or not. So net we gain 3% on the VAT difference, but that will be swallowed in carrier charges. The shipping cost has been dropped a little I notice, just over £9.

I just bought a Classic Army G36K 'doer-upper'/boneyard. Hopefully it doesn't become a money-pit to fix.

Were HAO squinting when they modeled that grip? Pretty sure the real H&K v7 grip looks like this (note the angle difference):

If you are UK-based, good luck with that. Nothing is being shipped from them at the moment. To answer your question, as they don't publish the inner barrel diameter, assume it to be roughly 6.05 to 6.08mm.

My 'Rustys Rigs' SBS-Style SF Extraction Chest Rig arrived this morning. Very pleased for £40. I forgot how practical these style of rigs are. Very nicely made, the straps could be a touch longer, but it still just about fits my slightly rotund post 'xmas and lockdown' figure. Not my pic - Taken from the Rustys Rigs FB page:

It would be interesting to see if they've fixed the QC issues with the Edge 1.0 guns. Did I see somewhere that the Core series will start being shipped with X-ASRs as standard?

You shouldn't need to mention the downgrade in the commentary - there's a button on the product page to specify your output before adding to cart. Otherwise, just your UKARA number and downgrade FPS and you should be fine. Be prepared for VAT + Import Duty + Handling fee from the Courier when you are actually able to order. Otherwise, if it's a relatively common gun, consider a UK supplier - the price difference will not be as big anymore.

When it comes to Star Rainbow Company the old saying 'In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king' springs to mind with your examples....😜 I shall counter with - the XM8.

Doesn't really matter what gen the gun is though, because it's an SRC. They are all pretty shit*. I wouldn't pay £2.50 for it. *I'm sure there are a few people that will spout on about how their SRC has been amazeballs. I have yet to see a decent one in the real world.

Looks pretty much the same as this: https://www.bespokeairsoft.co.uk/airsoft-accessories/suppressors-tracer-units/cccp-qd-silencer-full-metal-with-flash-hider-long-black

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...
