    Non Chinese Manufacturers

    I've tried to avoid Chinese products and sellers for years. But it's almost unavoidable.  Yes, it's about Covid-19, but it's also about their occupation of Tibet, tiananmen square, one child policy ect.  Personally I don't want a product that's made by slave labour.

    Ebay and Their Anti Gun Bs

    Can't say I'm the biggest fan of ebay, but taking down airsoft pouches because 'ebay wants to keep the community safe' is a crock of shit.  Is there anywhere left in the UK that the anti gunners haven't got to??  Rant over.  P. S. Anyone want to buy some M4 pouches?

    A Reason You Need to Be Careful Where Your 'Ammo' Falls

    Probably going to see a lot more of this as shooters take to their back gardens instead of their usual sites/ ranges/ wherever you go to legally shoot.

    do I Need a UKARA to Buy Second Hand Rifs

    In a word, yes. Responsibility lies with the seller to check whether the person buying the RIF has a defence under the VCRA, ie UKARA, Film Production, ect. It doesn't matter whether that seller is a retailer or private seller. The law is the law and if you are caught, it's serious.  If you...

    Ex-Forces Turned TV/Social Media Personalities

    Based on my own experience, if you leave the military and want to make your own way off your service then fair play, provided you aren't revealing secrets or embellishing your own career.  I remember leaving the army and the attitude was 'Thanks, but fuck off then'. In this country, there is...

    Optic (Red Dot)- Decisions, Decisions....

    I looked at the spitfire, it's a nice optic.  Went with the Vortex Crossfire Red Dot from Patrol Base in the end, just need some BUIS then I'm back up and running.

    Buying stuff from Japan... items sitting in customs

    Or what can happen is, like what happened to me, the courier can deliver the item, after about a month you get a letter from a debt collection agency stating you haven't paid the courier for the fees and they threaten to take you yo court. For £26. It's a fun, fun experience

    Optic (Red Dot)- Decisions, Decisions....

    The warranty is definitely a bonus. I'm using a trijicon copy and literally wanted to upgrade, but I'm finding the ACOG just isn't working for me. I think the vortex is the best way to go, now need to decide which one ?

    Optic (Red Dot)- Decisions, Decisions....

    I figured it was time to replace my ACOG on my GBB AR15. I'm currently looking at getting either a Vortex Crossfire or Vortex SPARC II. Both come with high mounts so my field of view won't be obstructed by my PEQ-15, both are made by a reputable company and both look like they would handle being...

    Losing UKARA due to no skirmishes (Covid-19)

    Why is it irresponsible?

    Misheard Phrases.

    When I first transferred to London with my job, a young guy I worked with began almost all of his sentences with 'Raah'. I thought he was calling me 'Raul' for ages, got to the point where I couldn't be asked to correct him. Then I discovered it's a thing that kids say now. 'Rah'. Christ I'm...

    The official AFUK Bog Roll Marathon!

    I'm a self confessed doomsdayer, full blown tin foil hat, so I was hoarding stuff before it was cool. I haven't bought any more recently because I'm not a dick. Although I have stocked up on Hexi Blocks, 22LR and. 243 ammo ?

    1911 issues

    Yup, just falls forward into the fired position, don't have to pull the trigger at all sometimes ? I'll take a look at the sear spring tonight, hopefully it's a quick fix! Cheers

    1911 issues

    Hi all I have a Umarex 1911 which has been a total workhorse up until now.  However, recently it has developed an annoying habit where the hammer sometimes doesn't stay in the cocked position- it's an intermittent problem and it doesn't make any difference whether it's being operated with the...

    guns you love, despite their flaws.....

    For me: 1911's: never found an utterly reliable one, or any that don't rattle like castanets when you handle them. Many an evening has been spent cursing at one, fully disassembled on my workbench, because it won't work. But I'll still buy them ?‍♂️ Desert Eagles: love them, wayyyy too...

    NYPDs latest bust

    The NYPD are notorious for posting photos of seized "weapons", often omitting the fact they are replicas/airsoft/airguns. It's not a gun friendly city and former mayor Bloomberg is fanatically anti-second amendment.  The guy in question is a complete idiot. You play stupid games and you win...
