  1. Anyone have experience with ordering from EVIKE Europe? Went through to make an order but couldnt spot anywhere to put a UKARA so the grinches at customes dont destroy me rif

      Hi,

      I ordered from them a while back and put my ukara in the address. They didnt see it, and did email me asking for it. was all ok from then in.

  2. Any ideas as to how to stop these fogging up? Anti fog spray and shaving foam doesn't seem to do the trick

      Yup, i-force dual panes nearly work for me, depending on venue, weather, exertion and anti-fog gloop, but really, fan ventilation fixes everything.

      Used to use fogtech DX - which was ok-ish until one day it completely failed (high heat/humidity), and I couldn't see a damned thing most of the gameday.

       

      Fans are the way to go - especially as I wear glasses inside a set of goggles. I wouldn't go back to wipes/sprays. Near as dammit zero fogging even on 30deg game days. Amazeballs.

      Either fans again, or I have MuckOff for the regular glasses we have - there is a definite knack to applying these lotions properly.

  3. Has anyone been to Spartan CQB recently? Hoping to head down with some friends this weekend, didnt realise the price had gone up so much :')

  4. Does anyone have much experience / thoughts on the VFC M733? https://www.highpressureairsoft.co.uk/vfc-m733-gbbr-rifle-cybergun-colt-licensed

    1. 1st commando

      1st commando

      it's one of the new generation VFC GBB rifles . They shoot great and are stunning in feel and looks 

  5. Has anyone had experience with the S&T/ SW k98k? Version one, seen one selling for £80 with two mags and I am incredibly tempted

    1. EvilMonkee

      EvilMonkee

      Yeh they are fine, just don't expect fireworks for a £100 gun.  £80 with 2 mags seems a decent deal.

      I absolutely LOVE mine, BUT... When I got it, it was a Chinese import and it was chronoing at 100 - 110 fps. There's an upgrade kit for them which is about £100 iirc? However I just cut down a sniper length spring, stuck it in and it chrono's at 305 (Average) with some decent range and a smooth bolt pull. £80 is an absolute steal!

  6. Is anyone heading to the Jack's Wood front line events game? Looking at going with a few uni oals but we just don't know what side to pick lol

    1. Spartanno117

      Spartanno117

      Yes mate, il be going easy company !

  7. Does anyone have experience ordering RIFs from FrontLine Events? Thinking of taking the plunge and getting the FAL from there as every where else is out of stock https://www.frontlineevent.co.uk/product-page/vfc-fal-steel

    1. JinxDuh

      JinxDuh

      Same as everywhere else. They're good people.

  8. Is there a GBB Luger thats generally considered the best?

      I had the same question a while back with TT's and Makarovs. I got the same response. KWC may be the only reasonable option I'm afraid.

    3. Adolf Hamster

      Adolf Hamster

      Tbf, the makarov is the opposite story, the we version of that is imo the best blowback option out there.

       

      Cmon tm prove me wrong....

    4. HuttArmouries

      HuttArmouries

      In my experience Ive never had an issue with the KWC makarov's but parts are impossible to find. The we makarovs on the other hand seem to be 50/50 if they will work out of the box or not

    Anyone tried this site? Heading over on Thursday with some friends to have a game.

      Its been going for a few months  . Its quite small at the moment but they are hopeful of extending in the future . Its proper Cqb  , fast and furious .

      Oh btw take a torch . Some lights are turned off on thursday nights for extra lols . 

       

      And beware of the ghost ...

      Thanks for the info, one of the things I like the sound of is the 20 player cap not a fan of CQB sites when they're full as it just becomes a slog

  10. Wheres the best place to look at attending historical / film(? i think its called this)sim events? Seen a few posts on here mentioning it and it seems interesting

      That's their website, yeah. It's not amazingly set up, but you can see their events at their sites (Book here at the top right)

      Second Impulses reply. Gunman slaps. Frontline Events also looks good.

      Gunman 100%, also see Sierra Bravo.  

  11. Picked up glandular fever the week before my first skirmish in two years fuming. Hoping all good by Sunday but somehow I don't think so annoyingly

    1. EDcase

      EDcase

      Hope it clears up in time.  If not don't push it or you'll probably have a shit day and make recovery much harder.

      There'll be other days...

    2. Shamal

      Shamal

      Get well soon fella.

      Glandular fever is a bitch. I've had it.☹️

       

      Regards

      JamesAirsofterAgent

      Cheers both, touch wood gonna be able to go to the game on Sunday as long as symptoms have cleared up thank christ

  12. Has anyone had any experience ordering from these fellers? Only place that seems to stock the mags currently.

      Yes; good service but the postage cost was painful!

    2. JamesAirsofterAgent

      Damn it, went to order and just got this message in the checkout

  13. Is it generally okay to use ammo thats a couple years old or best to grab some new? Got quite a bit left over from previous games but don't really want it damaging kit just as I'm getting back into it.

      Thanks for the info. I don't actually know what barrels they are, whatever come stock in the CM16 and Cyma m1a1 lol. Its a couple open bottles (with lids) that have been kept at the back of a cupboard.

    3. RostokMcSpoons

      RostokMcSpoons

      I'll be guessing they're both standard barrels.
      Just make sure no dirt is knocking around in the BB containers (and clean the barrels too, for that matter).

      Others here may tell you you're running the risk of doom and disaster if you don't run Geoff's Super Precision BB's anyway, so with the caveat that that is actually safe / good advice, I'd say you'll be fine.

      The only problems I've had are with 0.43g bio that had been open for over 2 years, and had started to craze. One kersploded inside a 2.3J sniper and I binned off the rest of them.

  14. Anyone heading to Spartan CQB on the 31st? Will be mine and my friends first game in over 2 years, hoping everything still works

      Ah right will do thanks. Didnt realise theres an onsite store as well! What kinda stuff do they have?

      Lot’s of pistols- but Mike is great at getting hold of stuff with enough notice 

    4. JamesAirsofterAgent

      JamesAirsofterAgent

      Thats grand thanks for letting me know

  15. Holy shit balls its in stock, is £360 too much??? It seems way more than they were charging before but holy dick cheese I want this bad
    S&T - Airsoft Lee Enfield Rifle No.1 MK.III Bolt Action Rifle (patrolbase.co.uk)

    1. JinxDuh

      JinxDuh

      Definitely worth it. Seen them selling for a lot more 😂

    2. Rogerborg
    3. Nick G

      Nick G

      still well below what some other places have been charging for them. Grab one, they are awesome 

  16. Those who bought the S&T SMLE, how much did you pay? I remember seeing them on PB for around £280 originally, now they're £340 and some websites are asking in excess of £400.

    1. JinxDuh

      JinxDuh

      £450 from my local shop...

    2. Nick G

      Nick G

      £299 from PB. I see they have gone up a bit which could be exchange rates. 

  17. Has anyone done historical games with Frontline Events? Looking at going to a couple with friends when I'm able to play again

    1. JinxDuh

      JinxDuh

      Haven't personally but know people who have and they've all had good things to say. Their 'Nam games have piqued my interest though...

    2. Druid799

      Druid799

      Same as JinxDuh , not personally been to one but have a very good friend who loves going to their events and and I’ve no worries about trusting his judgment .👍

      Damn it just remembered my UKARA is out of date and the site I got it with is no longer around. I hope it doesnt come back into stock and disappear again before I get the games done lol

    3. Druid799

      Druid799

      Can always get it two-toned ?

      JamesAirsofterAgent

      Everywhere I look it is out of stock. I dont know how close you are to Bristol but apparently Marcruss outdoors may have them (albeit for £600 I hear!) so I'm gonna try and check that out if I get the time to but dont think I can exactly fork out £600 when I wont be airsofting for a considerable time :(

  19. Don't suppose anyone knows if there are some dummy SEM 70 radios/backpack radios of the like knocking about anywhere? Not the dummy 152's etc but the big buggers. Ask because I've just seen this lolhttps://www.zerooneairsoft.com/products/Element_H-250_Military_Phone_fits_iCom_Double_Pin and am tempted to get it for the uv-5r

  20. Does anyone know of some decent airsoft channels where the people videoing dont have insane RIFs, just your average joe equipment/rifs? 

    1. Shamal

      Shamal

      Check out @GAMBLE.

      He has a down to earth tube channel which is worth a watch.

      Don't know the link but @Brophydoes.

      Hi @Shamal 👋

      Hi @JamesAirsofterAgent 👋

      Have a browse and see if it’s decent? 🤞

  21. In my quest for an affordable WW2 Bolt Action rifle I think I'm going to have to force myself to like the K98...😕

    1. strykerles

      strykerles

      If ytou don't mind something that will need work then patrolbase has a mosin in the boneyard section along with some gas Kar98s

    2. AK47frizzle

      AK47frizzle

      I want the gas ones but they only hold like 8 rounds per mag and the co2 ones are 8g cartridges instead of 12g... don't fancy a spring one either. G&G k98s are known to suck ass.

    3. Druid799

      Druid799

      True it only holds 8rds BUT it’s bolt action , and as we all know in airsoft bolt actions really are only of any use as a sniper so shouldn’t really matter ?

      JamesAirsofterAgent

      Unfortunately I don't think I'll be able to get it by the looks of things, everywhere I looked that sells in the UK has archived it and if TG doesnt ship to the UK my M1903 dreams are scuppered. Time to look for another WW2 bolt action...

    3. colinjallen

      colinjallen

      They will be resuming at some point in the future; nobody know when, not even them :(.

    4. JamesAirsofterAgent

      JamesAirsofterAgent

      I am hearing that PB are acting as an import agent for them at the moment, but no idea on how that works.

  22. Time to research improving the CM16 and hopping my butter fingers dont fuck it up

      Indeed, Maple Leaf rubbers can be long lipped. You might get lucky, or not. My Specna Arms feeds fine off its own mags with its own hop unit and a Maple Leaf, but doesn't like any other mags - I've been meaning to give it a little trim.

    3. JVacation

      JVacation

      I actually think it is more to do with the barrel more than anything. If I swapped to my default barrel it seems okay. I know people say that AK hopups are more of a pain.

    4. Tactical Pith Helmet

      Tactical Pith Helmet

      I'll second the above advice.   I think that the 16 is a good rif to start tinkering with.  It's so easy to break down that feeding issues are soon fixed.
