Macks airsoft dreamers of the week thread
Speedbird_666 replied to Mack's topic in General Discussion
Indeed. Whilst I would never spend that kind of money on a gun, those grips do kinda justify the price. I think he will struggle to sell it though - very niche. -
Late '90s/early '00s - staring at the DenTrinity website - they had built a P90 (which was uber cool in popular culture at the time) using TM internals in a model gun way before TM bought theirs to market. I was hooked from there on in.

Loving the Potato-cam used for the pics. Looks like someone screen-shot some analogue CCTV footage. Nice. -

I love it when people quote RRPs to justify their stupidly over-inflated pricing. I wouldn't pay more than £300 for that. -

Christ. You can get a new LCT for that money. Sure the mags are worth a bit. But that package (with no light or sight) ain't worth £350 -

This was raised a few pages back. Perhaps there should be a cap on the number ads you can have concurrently? -

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. -

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. -

Someone who doesn't know the difference between a metal CYMA CM.045 (AKS-74U) and a plastic CM.521C (Beta Spetsnaz) -

That's gotta be a typo when the seller was listing...right? -

Not me mate, I'm happy enough with cheapo 8fields stuff for my BB LARPing. 😜 -

£57 new with free delivery on Military1st. Jesus, I'd expect gold plated zips for that money. -

Yep, and the seller also has this little gem - an AR-57, in bits, yours for £180! Some assembly required. Surely one of the worst ideas in both real steel and Airsoft, make an M4 that uses P90 mags. -

To be fair it was listed under boneyard. 😜 -

This could be yours for the princely sum of £60 on discord. Shame a brand new one costs £61 from TaiwanGun. -
Double Eagle M904g – Aka the Original Q Honey Badger
Speedbird_666 replied to mightyjebus's topic in AEG/GBBR Reviews
Gotta say - those internals look pretty damned good for a £104 quid gun. -

Funnily enough - Zero One was one of them. Can't remember the other TBH. Wasn't Fire-Support though, I'll try them if I could be bothered to sell any of my guns in the near future. -

How do you check UKARA these days? (genuine question - not sold a RIF in 5 years) Last time I sold one, I tried two retailers to verify the buyer - I was either fobbed off of ignored altogether. In the end, I got the buyer to send me their player UKARA self-check email - which no longer exists as a function on the UKARA website. I can see why most people wouldn't bother checking - I just stopped selling guns altogether. -

Nice gun, especially with the rail, but the stippling would be a turn-off for me on grips that cannot be replaced - and it's a bit sloppy in implementation here Needs to drop at least £150 IMO. -

I though I was reasonably intelligent bloke until I watched that episode. I can't work if I'm being thick or it just exists on some higher plane of meta. Either way, it's first Rick and Morty episode I didn't raise so much as a chuckle, let alone laugh to. -

Speedbird_666 replied to mightyjebus's topic in AEG/GBBR Reviews
Naughty! 😜 I'm going to hold-off on one of these until later in the year once people start playing with them and I can see some post-skirmish feedback. That, and I would prefer one in FDE rather than black. Thanks @mightyjebus for the excellent first impressions review. -

Double Eagle M904g – Aka the Original Q Honey Badger
Speedbird_666 replied to mightyjebus's topic in AEG/GBBR Reviews
mightyjebus - thanks for the pics. Warranty? Sending a cheapo gun back to Poland? Yeh, that's not happening for me - I can fix and tune most guns to a reasonable standard now so I'm happy to split open a gearbox. But I do understand where you are coming from. I just opened up my son's new/unskirmished Specna Edge - I'm glad I did as it was a complete sh**show on the inside. Now fixed and running nicely switching out a couple of parts and a bit of elbow grease (I won't bore you with the details) - I wouldn't of trusted the retailer to have properly 'fixed' it under warranty. I think my concern about the DE M904G is not really the mechanics, because they are easily changed/sorted, but rather that Falcon fire control unit. I desperately want it to be good, because DE potentially has a game-changer on their hands with this gun. It's just that it's unproven and in the current lock-down climate it's reliability cannot be established. But if that Falcon unit proves itself decently reliable - DE has just kicked the likes of G&G squarely in the teeth - I mean who would want an over-priced Combat Machine (up to £200 these days), when they could buy something like this? I'm excited, but remain a bit skeptical.
