Should be closer to (or less than) 8, assuming that they send it out quickly.  They have a huge turnover of stock and can get a little tardy when they're rammed.

Ah right thanks for the response.

Probably go for these, will post about how they are.

Unless your gun is very ‘picky’ about mags then any M16/M4/STANAG listed mag should fit and function fine in it .

Advise I’d give if you need to ask ‘does this mag work in gun XYZ ?” Is come at it from the other direction with “what mags if any has anyone had problems with in gun XYZ ?”👍

Thanks, thats a much better way of doing it.

I would assume so, the raiders I have seen all seem to have this style of magazine in them, even the rentals at my local field.

Should be good, although Workmate Eddie bought a variety of mags to see which one(s) worked best with his Raider, and some of them needed a kiss with a file to get them seating properly, either along the spine or inside the release catch window.

The Raiders can be picky (well the CM16 are) with what mags work. I went with the lonex flash mags after researching on here and not had any feeding problems with them. Worth a quick search on the forum

Take a tracer and/or a torch! Make sure you have good eye pro and face mask, when i went they went for the heads mainly. It is agreat site! 

not necessarily, odds are it would likely have been blasted out the barrel in bits.

i wouldn't advise running those bb's any more if they can't take the pressure of a mag spring then god knows what they're doing when they hit the target.

I believe it was SPARTAN BIO bb's I have left over from a site I went to where you have to use only their bbs. I've used all of them up now and I probably only be back there once or twice more before I sell my kit on. Right now I'm using NUPROL .20s from Bristol Airsoft (they only sold the tracer varient) however once these are used up I will look at getting some ASG Blasters or Devils (I can't remember the full name) but probably the latter due to a recent thread about exploding on mesh. 

Thanks for the reassuring words, I thought my airsoft days were over there and then, however it has made me realise that I should probabl invest in a spare something or other as right now I only have 1 of each thing. (1 rifle, 1 mag 1 battery etc)

Yep welcome to airsoft where one of everything is not enough and neither is tow or three for that matter(just kidding) defo get some more mags and a back up battery though,if your watching the pennies and haven't got any camo look at helikon trousers very hard wearing pretty cheap and on the leg pockets the insides have elastic loops in them that you can use as mag pouches(rifle not pistol)👍 oh have a look on BZtactical I get mys BBs from there been using Tippman .25 .28 .30 good price and zero issues🖖

Six years ? that's some serious self control ! unless you've been in a coma since 2013 😀

It wasn't exactly my choice, I had to wait to be allowed one. Had I been allowed immediately, I would be heavily in debt by now.

Just hoping it arrives by Sunday

Well mate I hope it comes Sunday too you deserve it hope it something nice let us know what you got

All the best to you

I got my plate carrier from 8 fields via patrol base, I was very impressed with the build quality for the price would defo recommend.

I am looking at one of their gun cases based on build quality and price.

Hunter, I have an 8Fields padded rifle case and can confirm it is a good buy. TaiwanGun is better tho, just a bit extra in shipping.

Actually just further to the above if you mean case like hard case, then those are made by SRC, and I had one of them as well and can tell you are both good. Found the larger size case a bit inconvenient though and preferred the fabric bag which's why I bought a padded TG one, to try and get best of both worlds.

Did say ye ole but remind me of all them old dos game issues with base ram 640kb etc...

Nice one, think you never forget ya first skirmish as it's usually so epic. More peew peew please

Now you start going as regularly as possible... Then spin it on your parents about all the money they'll save if you get a gun instead of renting... The CM16 will soon be yours James !

hope you enjoy it

Have fun mate.

At the time I thought having to wait 3 months to start was a long time

it is a metal-ish plinky pistol, but a start I guess. Even so, please demonstrate common safety sense, don't be a dick as this is how accidents/incidents happen. Safety - clear gun, don't show off and don't fire indoors etc...

That's a good Dad you've got right there. I'm sure this is just the beginning. We all started somewhere!
