**List Maintenance carried out: up to date as of January 2025** ________________________________________________________________________ Retailer list, broken down by region. It's always helped me tick off all the the places i want to search for a particular item. If you are a shop/site owner who doesn't appear below, post in the thread and I'll get round to adding it on. At the bottom, there is also a list of shops relatively local to people in Surrey/SW London and then Birmingham respectively . Hope this helps!

Not sure if I've missed a notification here but the search results in the website only seem to go back as far as August. I've got as far back as 11th August after a few checks but not further. I wonder if we lost some search functionality when the patches/upgrades happened on the website in the summer. A simple workaround is to just use Google and click on the "more results from airsoft-forums.uk" link. I mention it here in case it's a simple fix like a search reindex or something like that needed.

Correct - they all do, and they all have to by law Both due to pressurised containers and due to hazardous materials The carrier becomes liable for the unknown contents of their packages on our roads and airways People disregarding the rules and making false declarations are also the reason for ‘empty’ canisters being subject to the same rules. Even a dismantled HPA cylinder & regulator will be hard to find a willing carrier for a private sender - and once found will cost a few ££ (Some would try to defend themselves that UK postage won’t go by air, despite much of the internal mail going by air for speed, and then complained that packages became seized and destroyed) A starter is The Carriage of Dangerous Goods and Use of Transportable Pressure Equipment Regulations https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2009/1348/contents Carriers pretty much prohibit private senders, and require business senders to use appropriate methods under contracts. Proper declarations, and appropriate methods cost money Search

I don't know a ton about the current stuff, but if you eBay search (for example) osprey pouch you'll quickly be able to collate the whole set that was issued. I've done the same for 'virtus pouch' before and it seems like most if not all come up and of course there's multiple pictures and angles spread across the listings. Submit the word belt or bag etc in place of pouch and you can find probably 95%+ of everything.

I'm guessing you don't want something military looking to not draw attention? The main two I use for hiking/camping are osprey and sierra designs, 55 and 80 litres. Id go to an outdoor shop and see what feels comfortable to wear with your bike leathers/jacket. Google search says your rif is 77cm long? That's too long for both my bags by about 5 to 10 cm, just measured them.

(I did search before posting and am surprised no one has asked before) Wouldn't it be a good idea to add an Auction section in the Classifieds? for people like myself who have boxfulls of stuff to move on. Or would it be too difficlt to integrate it with the site?

I honestly don't think that's the solution, you might get odd looks in daylight... you'll get a cavity search by the polis doing it at night.

Hallo everybody? Im search for a Cold 1911 from the manufacture Inokatsu. Kindly regards.

Depends how they are run, well structure threads with topics and snippets of the good info, but it all depends on the admin and/or members. The GBBR discord is decent and a good area for knowledge and tips, not toxic that ive ever seen. Then you have some discords that are just hell holes and impossible without the search function.

Not sure of it's the same seller or if they just used the same photos, but a Google lens search brings up this. That's £930 https://www.ebay.com/itm/365792190675?itmmeta=01K6ZM0ZH5X7JMJV2QG7Y30AQF&hash=item552ae9e0d3:g:OSEAAeSwEOJomj8E&itmprp=enc%3AAQAKAAAA4MHg7L1Zz0LA5DYYmRTS30kzWibD%2FSabVnwF3n8pnm59OfTMe5r%2BCsxMxHG42JdF3e%2BQqjGzR49sIUejQgA1R1zgp4JwtLGPryKhVRIVCdrOVDXOicNygoXkgbuejWeY%2F2hXgZSHk7x4dKaLNu6Cqe93G%2BSBjINO%2Bu%2B6yio2F0IqAW6Dswzts2OLtlw4TF7hh9%2F%2BSmmol7o07pv7pQMDuR9qrx6XGwVqN96a8G9L6SZufOC7pQOU%2FZq54rik8AC9aDbp7s%2BE6psD38oC9KYZJf6SsqfJhdifnUEIGDn88nS2|tkp%3ABFBM2PiD9Ldm

I never saw a user name tbh, but did check out a vn flak vest. Actually, I've just checked... must have been on another site coz there's no flak vest in my fleabay search.

I had no idea it was so complicated to repair.Please forgive my naivety and thank you for explaining its much appreciated. I have just looked and the somogear Ngal is £500 ! My goodness me.Still I must continue to search otherwise I just have a chunk of metal just sitting pretty doing nothing.

@Tommikka - Just had a search of Laysick, is this company still around as cant find any available trousers apart from two Ebay listings? Did a bit more of a search and looks like theres not really much option for thick trousers in the airsoft/paintball range. I may need to do some more digging around this as this would be the last thing I need to start skirmishing as I know which face mask I am getting. The only thing I can think of is getting airsoft trousers and have slide shorts underneath/joggers and slide shorts underneath. @Tommikka - All these trousers I see sort similar to this without any padding: https://www.airsoftzone.co.uk/gen-2-elite-tactical-trousers-with-knee-pads-v-cam-black-viper-tactical.html

Hi all, I don’t know if I’m simply not searching for the right thing or using a wrong search term as I’m not finding as much as I thought I would. Ive got a G&G GR16 for my boy who’s just starting out, but it’s got a standard M4 handguard and solid stock on it (was wondering in a raffle, not chosen) I want to put a RIS/Picatinny handguard on the front, and hopefully a buffer tube and sliding stock on the back end rather than the solid stock. Can anyone point me in the direction of somewhere in the UK that can provide the handguard and buffer tube? Unsure if they need to be specific G&G or not tbh. Thanks

Good find 👍 (What search engine do you use?) The followers are poking out so they should be OK. (Might still be sticky like the one you have but at least you can disassemble yours without risking your only mag)

I don’t I’m afraid but just go into any SportsDirect, or similar, or search online via Amazon, and you’ll be able to pick one up easily enough.

£55 when a quick Google search shows similar for £10-£15

I don’t think that the most ‘modern’ designs go for as much padding with some trends towards ‘jogger’ style, and in some cases they may be less likely to advertise features as ‘padding’ due to some of the more serious tournament rule wording on clothing, eg you can wear two layers of clothing which includes counting the bounce vest and/or slide shorts - if it’s a thick quilted materiel on the trousers then that’s just hard wearing materiel and not extra soft padding to promote bounce rather than bursting paintballs My ‘best’ ones don’t appear to be on the market anymore, and at the time a few years back were highly pricey at £200+ or even more- but I didn’t pay that - I won a pair in a raffle. I also would not have chosen the colour scheme which was (supposed to be) very white but for me was promptly stained by dirt & grass They were low slung in the crotch, combined with thick quilted material plus a extra front panel to clip across and another internal crotch panel of foam like materiel Thick all over for general padding, extra layers at the crotch, stretchy in areas and didn’t let in the wet when Knealt on wet astroturf or muddy puddles No endorsement on any of the following but a search of the Laysick name should show a few similar looking designs with extra crotch, Angel can cover some old school designs, Dye, Empire & exalt have some handy ones but beware of too lightweight and joggers Anthrax can be useful, and if you can handle Photoshop you can get fully / partial custom design prints (Ask for templates, do your own design and unless you use their consultancy design they don’t much different to just buying new off the shelf https://www.anthraxpaintball.com/custom-paintball-pants

@Tommikka - Thank you for the suggestions Tomm! Are these any brands for trousers you recommend? (Paintball and non paintball) Just did a quick search on paintball trousers and doesn't seem that there are long trousers with padding around thighs, I only see the shorts.
