    Systema PTW - Tac 2012 URGI Bundle - PeliCase, 2 Uppers plus extras

    Hi folks, Looking to sell my 2012 Systema PTW, originally built by Tackleberry with a service and second upper being put together by him at the tail end of 2023. All verifiable if needed as he keeps a spreadsheet of serial numbers for PTWs he builds. The most recent work done then was the...

    Buyers Beware - Suspicious Seller - Resolved, thread can be deleted if possible

    Hi folks, Bit of a weird one, but I'd regret not saying anything if the situation worsens. Not sure on the right section really, here seems about as good as anywhere. I bought an item (splitting it from a grouped sales post) from a forum member. Payment was sent on February 24th, this item was...

    Magpul PTS NGRS PMags

    Hi folks, Have 6 of these potentially available, initially all black (#01 is painted green and black). All in great condition and feed flawlessly. Have original packaging far all 6, including top clips, base plates and would include a genuine ranger plate for each. As far as I can tell these...

    DAI Leisure - AVOID

    Hi folks, Here seems as good a place as any for this. TLDR I ordered some scope mounts from here on May 3rd, I haven't received my order and have only had one reply from them (on May 14th) which was essentially a generic 'we'll look into this'. I've emailed 3 times since getting that reply...

    E&L AKS-74U w/ All The Trimmings

    Hi folks, This is a project I started gathering bits for much earlier in the year, had the fitting and machining work. Have now used it twice at games and it's just not for me in terms of the ergonomics and general controls/manipulation. What I'd affectionately call 'doing a Dave', those that...

    Optic Height - Where does your preference sit?

    Despite the fact irons are more than adequate for airsoft, depending on your eye/face pro some would likely even argue the best thing to use, most airsofters I see these days are running some for of optic. Having spoken to folks I know a lot of them are just there for looks, where shoots are...

    Ksc G23f W/ 4 Mags

    Hi folks, Picked this up as part of a bundle, I already have 4 Glocks so this is something I'm looking to move on. Not a brand I'm at all familiar with, from what I can gather a lot of the value is in the mags but I'm not sure how accurate that statement is. Absolutely zero idea what would be...

    Notifications on 'Questions' for Classifieds

    I have a vague recollection of this being mentioned at some point, though I could be getting confused with replies to status notifcations which weren't working previously. Had a few questions asked on items I've had up on the classifieds and I didn't receive a notification to let me know. I...

    Have You Hpa'd in the Past and Left it Behind?

    Hi folks, Just a general canvas on peoples thoughts who have run HPA as their primary means of powering their RIFs and subsequently decided it wasn't for them. I've been running HPA as my primary means of powering my RIFs for a fair while now (I honestly can't remember exactly how long), I...

    An Interesting Take From a 'Real Steel' Perspective

    I imagine many of you have already seen this, popped up on my 'recommended' front page and it piqued my interest. My overall take away is that if the attitude of real steel companies can shift from 'looking down its nose at' to 'we can see the benefit' it'd be great for the hobby as a whole. I...

    Quirk With Setting a Classified Ad as 'Pending'

    Hi folks, Just a question out of curiosity with setting an item to ‘pending’ on the classifieds. Some ads would let me set an item to depending had I agreed a sale but needed to wait a few days for payment, and some wouldn’t. Turns out if you have ‘offers’ allowed it removes the option to set...

    Dagger Woods in Preston

    Hi folks, Following the advice of @Rogerborg I need to stop making excuses for not heading out to play, even more so with the likelihood of another lockdown pending. I've booked in at Dagger Woods in Preston on the 17th (this Saturday) and the 31st (which is their last game at the site...

    What Exactly Is Meant by the Term 'Barrel Window'

    Hi folks, So I know what part of an inner barrel the window is, and I know it's purpose... but I've never really thought about what it means when folks refer to specific sizes of a barrel window. I've mocked up a super quick picture to try and make obtaining the answer a bit easier without the...

    Perfecting Your Loadout, the Unsung Hero of Destroying Your Bank Account

    It’s been a long time since I’ve had to start from nothing when it comes to a loadout. Switching over to a bolt action rifle initially meant I didn’t feel I need to change a huge amount from my standard AR setup, likely just meaning I could loose the plate carrier entirely because everything...

    That 'This Is the One' Moment

    Over the years I’ve bought and received a whole heap of different RIFs, in my younger years when I started (about a decade ago give or take) I used to go through RIFs quicker than underwear. Nothing seemed to stick, I’d get a build exactly where I wanted it... and then I was over it. Sometimes...

    Madbull Daniel Defense Ris II 9.5' Dark Earth, Gp Airsoft M4a1 Metal Body (Colt M4a1) B Type)

    Hi folks, Looking for some assistance with pricing these two items. Generally speaking I'm pretty comfortable when it comes to pricing but these two in particular seem about as rare as rocking horse shit these days. I've been struggling to find accurate RRPs because the prices on both of these...

    Looking for Advice on Mk23 Mag Pouches

    Hi folks, Tried a search assuming this had been covered somewhere but couldn’t find much outside of a few posts in the ‘What have you just bought’ thread, so figured I’d ask here. Apologies is my ability to search has failed me. Recently picked up a Mk23 (SSX-23 to be specific, I know, burn...

    Biggest RIF 'Technology' Advancement

    So, the title was a bit awkward to come up with for exactly what I’m asking so I’ll try and get a better explanation in the thread itself. I haven’t really kept up with new things airsoft for the past 5 years or so and I’ve been doing a heap of digging into what exactly has changed in terms of...

    Back on the Horse....

    Hi folks, Completely forgot to create on these when I initially signed up, and frankly it’s just something to do at this point! I’m Alex, I used to live in the Midlands and frequented the Firesupport sites (Free Fire Zone and Urban Assault). A few years ago I moved up to the grim North for...

    Alex's P* Mk18 Build

    Hi folks, For starters I hope this is in the right place, I was stuck between here and the 'advice & technical help' sections... so apologies if I chose wrong! Feel free to move it to a more appropriate location if I've done a goof. I'm going to start off with a quick TLDR of the whys and...
