    Brownells UK

    Anybody ordered from Brownells lately? Just wondering what their shipping is like from the US to the UK. Took a punt on a one of the new MOE PR stocks - not in a particular rush for it, but i'm guessing the wait time will be several weeks?

    Suggestion - Require approval on new threads for new users (i.e less than 10 posts)

    @Jedi_Master & @proffrink I have been playing whack-a-mole with the spammers for the last couple of days. I've nuked loads, I'm sure the other spam moderators have done the same. Can we lock the ability for new users to create new threads without approval from admin/spam moderator? So they...

    Buying kit in the US

    I have 4 days to kill in San Francisco in September. Not a holiday, but I have to go for...reasons. Was planning to visit some stores in the wider bay area (SF has nothing itself) with the hope of picking up some RS plastic bits (i.e. Magpul or similar Stock(s) and AR pistol/vertical grips) and...

    More Moderators for the Forum?

    @Jedi_Master Just a random brainfart, but would it not be worth adding another Moderator or two to the forums? After the influx of dodgy accounts and spamming of the Classifieds, perhaps some extra resource might be handy? No - I'm not volunteering - but there are very well established, high...

    Novritsch SSR63 (G36 AEG)

    It's a lot of money for a G36 - but I never knew that I wanted a G36 with an MLOK rail so bad until now... Doesn't appear to be S&T/Ares based and the plastics (and barrel mounting) don't scream JG/CYMA. I'm wondering if its based on the WE 999K AEG.

    Novritsch SSQ22 GBBR

    Not everyone's cup of tea, but it's the first GBBR that I have been genuinely interested in. Pretty reasonably priced (for a GBBR) - they are doing discounted bundles which includes scopes and mags.

    Do I need a Double Eagle M90xx series gun?

    The answer is no - but I've got some money burning a hole in my pocket and before the missus changes her mind and revokes my permission slip, I need to spend it. No better excuse to buy another gun. TBH I have loads of guns, but another one won't hurt will it? I keep hearing about the DE guns...

    Powair6 - any good?

    Quick summary... I need a very specific Piston for my AEG (Madbull PX02 - thanks KWA for being shit) - I think i've bought the very last one I can find from a UK retailer but I don't have much hope that it was actually in stock - I'm fully expecting a cancellation call/email at some point soon...

    Gate Pulsar

    I know they've hit UK shores, but has anyone on here had chance to play with the new Gate Pulsar HPA Engine? Seems like a better value HPA engine with some decent features.

    Table Top skirmish game for Kids?

    Ok - figured I ask here as the Airsoft demographic will likely cross-over to gaming My youngest son (aged 10) is obsessed with the idea of playing table top games like 40K et al. Problem is - he (and I to be frank) gets frustrated by often extensive rules that seem to bog down the gameplay. We...

    Do NOT change your email address. It breaks your account.

    Bit hyperbolic, it doesn't actually 'break' your account, but it stops you from using it. I've spent the last 4 days completely locked out of my account because I changed the email address on my profile. Basically, the forum's emails are being blocked by google so verification emails are not...

    Cool toys at work (Real steel content)

    So, into the office I go for another day of pushing spreadsheets around only to find that my employer is hosting an Armed Forces day with a few military units having set up stands/displays.    So I got to play with some real guns, namely the L119A1, the L129A1, Glock 17/19 (Military Police...

    22TPA Motors

    Ok, I'll keep this quick. Situation: - Got a KWA gun with an (allegedly) 14TPA motor out of the box but there's no way it has neo magnets. - Said KWA gun does 23RPS on an 11.1v LiPo - which is waaay more than I need - I bought this primarily for semi-only CQB. - Trigger response is good on...

    KWA EVE-4 First Impressions

    TLDR? Great on the outside, a bit crap on the inside. Here's a quick 2 hours of ownership first impression...... Right - to start. Packaging was fine - typical KWA fare from what I've seen of other guns in their Ronin lineup. A bag of accessories was also included which includes QD sling...

    Ground Zero Airsoft - Operation Green Sceptre - 28th/29th May 2022

    https://events.groundzeroairsoft.com/ Stumbled across this yesterday on GZ's website. GZ are doing a Milsim Weekend event next month. Whilst I'm not a huge fan of the site, I am kinda interested in attending this one.

    Are they serious? - Bolster Armouries 'Advanced' M4s and HiCapas

    Looks like Patrolbase is taking a leaf from Dave at DCA's book on how to con *ahem* make money out of Airsofters... £1.4K for this: A suped-up Krytac. Doesn't even have the TM appeal. You could build/buy a very nice HPA setup for waaay less money. Then there's this - £1.2K for a Hi-Capa...

    CYMA Shotties

    In the 16-odd years I've been playing airsoft, I've never actually played with a shotgun before. However a site within reasonable travel distance is doing monthly pistol/shotgun evenings and I quite fancy a go. Don't want to spend too much, so was looking at CYMA tri-shot springers (CM.350 et...

    Time to switch my ad-blocker on. A bit much don't you think?

    Aliexpress Regulators

    Anybody taken a punt on one of these? I'm fairly sure I've seen the sold as re-brands with some laser engraving thrown on - it looks a lot like a Balystic HPR800C with a different gauge. Worth a go for £31 shipped? I know, I know, buy quality, buy once n'all that. But HPA regulators are not...

    Shady AF (Snake Oil Salesman Content)

    So, some local dude has been spamming the local FB Group with his awesomesauce helmet/visor combo that he expertly 'engineered': He's flogging them for £130 a pop - and he's sold some too - gotta respect the hustle I suppose Setting aside the stupid positioning of the NVG mount and ARC rails...
