    Ebay Buyers. Am I Being a Jerk? Airsoft Gear Sale)

    Let me preface this by saying I really don't like selling on ebay. I've been burned and messed about so many times it's painful. The classified section on here is much better. But, I digress....  Sold my SWAT loadout on ebay for much less than it was worth.... c. £300 of gear went for...

    Sourcing Real Steel Parts

    For those who use real steel parts on their airsoft guns: Where are you sourcing them from? I know Brownells UK are the go to, but I think their prices are extortionate to say the least. The sight set I'm looking at is a full £80 more expensive on there ? plus on 'backorder'  Tried the usual...

    We Scar L

    Did a search but couldn't find anything related to the issue I'm having Recently acquired a WE Scar L. Went to zero my scope in today and... Well let's say it didn't go well.  Out of a 30 round mag, 3 BBs hit the target. The rest casually rolled out of the barrel. ?  The action cycles as it...

    Psa: Airsoft Scam on Used Airsoft

    Had this info passed to me by a couple of other guys, unfortunately one who has fallen victim to this scammer.  Asks to be paid by bank transfer only, adverts seem to be all over the country!  Definitely one to keep an eye out for.

    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?

    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...

    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...

    GBB (Sub) Compact 1911 Recommendations

    I'm after a full metal, Gas Blowback, compact/sub compact 1911. I like the look of the silver Army Armament R45 (Because Don Johnson in Miami Vice) ?‍♂️ I've heard mixed reviews about the R45 which puts me off. Basically after something about the size of the Detonics, or a Colt Defender.  Any...

    Post Brexit PayPal Fees?

    Have I missed something? Have paypal fees increased since brexit? ?  Taken from an attempted buy on prefired. Is it me or is the seller taking the proverbial a little?  Eh, maybe I'm wrong and just a tight fisted northerner!
